Then there is Igor Polyakov's study on Arctic Ice. The study itself is sound. But it has been misused by bad people. Indeed Rush Limbaugh was exposed by media matters deliberate misinterpreting that study.
so again i call 'bullshit' to the climate change deniers.
Despite what the headline article claims, and what some posters here sadly believe, human induced planetary heating (global warming just sounds too benign) is real and there is broad consensus across the scientific community on that. sadly the exxon funded shills are paid good money to add layer upon layer of doubt upon this scientific consensus. Its all handled by the same PR people who worked for big tobacco a decade or two ago.
We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories It's not so much the lack of international stories as the myopic focus of commentary around stories that have international relevence.
26 my arse! from TFA "I think the best musicians out there were the Beatles, in terms of what they did for music " - I'm 40 and even that's young enough to recongnise that ABBA were so far beyond the Beatles it's not funny! I mean who saved us all from ponderous prog-rock if not ABBA and the Sex Pistols, who showed the world that you have squeeze a brilliant song into under 4 minutes. Ahh 1977.
Yeah I hear ya - I got given World of Warcraft (aka gamecrack) for my 40th birthday - it's the gift that keeps on taking! Luckily now I am officially an old man (grumpy too!) I can afford the monthly fee!
My phone lets me download MID files from the Net; so I can just upload them to my home page and get them from there. Of course the data transfer costs money, but hacking the phone's Java interpreter doesn't change this.
My web browser lets me download files from the web and my mac lets me send them to my phove using bluetooth. I've never been able to unerstand why anyone pays for ringtones or phone sized images since most phones seem to play mp3s anyway these days. mine does and it was a free phone that came with my bottom-of-the barrel vodafone account.
If you really must drive an SUV then at least be good enough to pay for the environmental damage you are doing. I pay a monthly subscription to buy enough carbon credits to offset all of my personal greenhouse gas emissions. But I guess I should, as I am a part owner of one of the few companies in the world that retails CO2 credits to individuals. I don't drive a car unless on holidays. I live in Amsterdam and ride a bike. I don't shop at supermarkets, I go to the farmers' markets on my bike every weekend with a backpack and get everything I need for that week from the people who make/grow/slaughter it. Since we started doing this the amount of household waste we generate has dropped from one bin-bag every three days to one every two weeks. We make our own yoghurt (so easy, just add old yoghurt to fresh milk and keep it warm overnight) and as such we now don't throw out a plastic container every day. In Amsterdam we recycle most stuff - paper, glass, plastics, although deep down I suspect they still all end up as landfill in China.
I live a fairly ecologically neutral life these days and have made it my business to enable others to do the same. If you really give a damn about climate change, and you believe, as I do, that human activity is the cause of this change, then I urge you to act now and at the very least offset your CO2 emissions. You may be doing your 'green' best but still not be able to avoid polluting. Now however you can, at the very least, pay to clean up your mess.
Is that the whole point of AJaX, that the interface can be an event driving display, the visuals are done in css with some scripting, the objects are modelled in javascript and renders can generate page components for them that get styles by the css. the requests to the back end are more tightly structured and so the simple method calls become a high level interface that exchanges textual tokens. any old slut of a language can talk to that.
btw as a java / javascript developer i am a little biased.
php just seems to lack that zen like feeling you get when coding in java.
where I live head-shops are called smart-shops and sell mild magic-mushrooms and all manner of mostly piss-weak hallucinogens and rubbish like gurana power. in coffe shops you buy grass and hash off a weed-cart which is a menu, not a trolley. in cafes you can buy coffee, although most coffee-shops do sell coffee as well as weed and hash and space-cake. some even sell alcohol too. very few sell food. I am not sure why someone doesn't just set up a cafe that sells grass, hash and serves good food, beer, wine, cocktails. they could get rid of all the rubbish stereotyped bob-marley parephenalia too in my humble opinion.
do i want to use bittorrent to nab all 8 episodes of "That's My Bush" and whack them onto my iPod then take them into the auditorium at work and sit around at lunch time watching some pretty fucking hillarious tv with some workmates? - sure why not; doesn't everyone know someone who has a fat pipe and open ports?
do i want to watch an episode of "Nip Tuck" on the 50mt train ride to work? - Is the Kennedy family gunshy? Does the pope shit in the woods? hell I bought the dvd, i should be allowed to rip it to my pod with handbrake.
in terms of who'll buy these video ipods there is what i calll the lesser wave: the millions of us for whom every working day, and many holidays, involve a long commute, either on some form of public transport, or as a passenger in private transport. or stuck on a mid-to-long-haul flight.
then comes the greater wave. do i want to use iMovie to throw together little video podcasts for my friends back home? I just noticed that my phone saves as little quicktime movies too.. this is the real business driver because it drives sales of hardware and peripherals and software. - if apple can podcast video feeds and make the creation of the same as easy as iMovie and iDVD, then they'll really ride this wave.
It seems to me that the biggest drawback for integrating your phone with ipod / camera is you can't use it on a plane. so sayonara to taking photos of mountain-tops out the window of your flight, while listening to funky beats.
I read somewhere that the head of motorola was bragging about the battery life of the ROKR, saying he used it to listen to music all through a 4 hour plane flight, and then made a 1 hour conference call and the battery was still almost full. This made me wonder if this phone is designed to be usable on flights, of if he's just an arsehole who enfdandered the lives of his co-travelers by using the phone illegally, or perhaps he's just a liar.
They should have been fired just for their inability to spell, or construct proper sentences. they are legal secretaries? my goodness; when I was a lad such people had to have finished high school.
nice thought, and obvious really. the first thing i tried iChat to iChat via googletalk was a voice chat. it worked fine.
i didn't realise google were also rolling out wifi hotspots. i guess that's US only right now, or are they really thinking large and rolling out world wide with some sort of Sat based WiMax service?
well when i tried to connect using iChat it warned me that i was sending my data via an insecure connection. Fire on OSX works with jabber and also with GPG.
on the upside, i tried a voice chat via google's jabber server to another ichat user and that worked fine.
Did you consider that the government can use google?
I have considered for a long time that google supply special keys and APIs of all kinds to all manner of US Government agencies. They pretty much say they are required to in their terms of service.

This is also known as 'projection' where you project your own behaviour onto the assumed behaviour of others.

I'm guessing you never tried to browse your site in Safari - but this new theme doesn't really work.

damn you beat me to it. I was going to say that but was sitting here staring at iPhoto, while it uploads to Flickr.

could you please name me one single commercial airline anywhere in the world that allows passengers to use mobile phones?

we can buy carbon credits :-) see my sig below.
me too - would love to find similar for outside the usa. all these automated systems must have hackable control codes.
