On any single monitor, more than two applications can be run simultaneously. Instead of Windows 8's fixed split, where one application gets 320 pixels and the other application gets the rest, the division between apps will be variable. It'll also be possible to have multiple windows from a single app so that, for example, two browser windows can be opened side-by-side.
Read the law in question, which was from 2009 and amended in 2012. It's made with modern phones in mind, and it was specifically written to combat texting:
As used in this section “write, send, or read a text-based communication” means using an electronic wireless communications device to manually communicate with any person using a text-based communication, including, but not limited to, communications referred to as a text message, instant message, or electronic mail.
Using GPS is not manually communicating with a person. The law does not apply to reading text on a phone in any context other than communications with another person.
I don't see any problem here. Apple took one million pre-orders before selling out. I'd say their supply chain is absolutely fantastic. Who else can push a million units in such a short time like that? Nobody, that's who.
It runs just fine with Linux (I've tried it). It's Flash-based. The expiration just means that Amazon won't serve the stream to you after a certain amount of time.
Ok, I just checked the online version... and it's totally mixed up and out of order. It's definitely not the correct order as seen in the broadcast version.
What's keeping you from just picking a provider from the list that they give you? I just picked the first one in the list (AT&T Broadband) and it let me in and watch the online version of the parade of nations.
I just did a quick check of the recording of the live broadcast that I made. In every spot I checked, the order given on the Wikipedia pages matches the one in the broadcast. So, at least in the case of the broadcasted version, the ordering matches up.
I also anyone to dare find someone that even mildly likes their laptop's keyboard.
Me! I love laptop keyboards. Giant desktop-style keyboards with their long keypress travel are a waste of effort and motion. I used to be an IBM Model M die-hard, but the latest scissor-style key mechanisms found on laptops nowadays are fantastic. I love the keyboard on my Macbook and my ThinkPad T60p. I even bought a thin laptop-style keyboard for use at work for a double speed boost: short key travel and no number pad to get in the way when I move my hand in between the keyboard and mouse.
There actually is a meeting like this in the US: next week will be BoardGameGeek's BGG.CON. I'm sure the fact that it follows closely after the Essen conference is no coincidence.
I live in a different complex in the South Bay that also has AT&T Home Entertainment. I signed up for DSL service with Sonic.net and couldn't be happier. I have a $7/mo ultra-basic plan from AT&T to give me a line for this to work on.
And yes, it's the same for digital cable. In fact, digital cable television uses the exact same modulation as the cable modems use. The whole reason for modulation is to carry a signal robustly over a lossy analog medium, in the case of a POTS modem, the telephone wire, and in all cable installations, a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable just has way more bandwidth (in the traditional, analog sense).
Why is a 5MHz signal on a cable line not a "tone" while one on a phone line is? Simply because you can't hear the signal the cable modem puts out with your ears, while you can hear the signal a modem generates?
As many above have said, there definitely is modulation and demodulation going on, and the exact same kind: QAM. It's just at a higher frequency with more bandwidth.

This is sounding a lot like a tiling window manager to me.

In 2009, Amazon's corporate revenues were $26.53B. For the same year, the entire RIAA's revenues were only $6.3B.
Amazon should be able to swat them down like a fly.
In California, where both Apple and Lala are based, non-compete clauses in contracts are automatically void.
The British people are strangely proud of the ungainly BS 1363 plug. No surprise at all that it won the comparison.

All play perfectly in VLC and mplayer.
It's not just you! I was totally reminded of that game.
This means it won't run on my Linux system.

Yeah, I mistakenly said "live" because the article summary used the word. I realize that the broadcast was delayed due to the time difference.
The order in the Wikipedia article (Chinese stroke count order) has been that way since August 1st.

They're expensive because they're made in Denmark, not China like almost any other plastic thing made even 15 years ago.
The article summary is wrong or has a typo or something. This is not on some weird hybrid x86/ARM platform; it's just ARM.

They feel just like any normal scissor-action laptop keyboard to me.

No, a laser does not mean that it is digitally sampled. And there's just one record player that uses a laser, and it's quite expensive.
You've got your timeline wrong.
Intel Pentium - 1993
Intel Pentium MMX - 1995
AMD K5 - 1996
AMD K6 - 1997
Intel Pentium II - 1997
AMD K6-2 - 1998
Intel Pentium III - 1999
AMD Athlon (K7) - 1999
Intel Pentium 4 - 2000
AMD Athlon 64 (K8) - 2003
Intel Core 2 - 2006
It looks like you had the K7 confused for the K6, and the K8 confused for the K7.
