You would rather install a huge software suite than look at the menus for a few seconds for a print option? hint: File->Print. It even defaults to printing all slides so you don't have to change anything!
The current trend is to get a lot of recessed lights and stick the cheapest CFLs in them. They look terrible though. Even the best CFLs have 82 CRI and a very spiky spectrum using a triphosphor formula. LED bulbs are far worse. The best lights are color proofing 90+CRI T5/T8 fluorescents or halogens (solux for example) if you can stand the heat output. Properly installed lighting with a 60-80% indirect component (bounced off the ceiling for example) any room gets a hell of a lot more comfortable. http://www.labs21century.gov/pdf/bp_lighting_508.pdf
Does not apply. There is an unlimited supply and demand is based largely on marketing budget and price in relation to similar products. Changes in demand (purchase demand, not including piracy demand) have not been proven to be connected (either positively or negatively) to piracy (where demand is based on both marketing budget and quality).
Hopefully the pixel densities will increase dramatically as well. 167ppi is good but 300ppi is the magic number.
On a side note, I would love to have an e-paper computer monitor even if it was monochrome and 768x1024. Staring at a fluorescent-backlit 98ppi screen all day is straining.
Maybe the outsourcing process itself can be outsourced to Boeing; I hear they have some experience with getting subcontractors to complete more complex tasks than they are used to.
Just schedule a reboot, hopefully you are transitioning away from it for critical systems since all security fixes for it will stop in 10 months anyway.
To be fair, hydro is not really expandable so you would end up building more generation facilities anyway as the population and usage per person per year increase.
The only thing we can hope for then is for the cost of power to skyrocket and the cost of personal power generation equipment like photovoltaics to plummet.
Their hands are not big enough. Also, learning to type on a mechanical keyswitch keyboard would make a big difference but the school keyboards are always membrane.
I agree; China is not going to change until IP law becomes important to them internally. When the Chinese decide that they want strong protection from themselves in the realm of IP law they will begin taking the international issues seriously. Same issue with developing nations blocking expansions to intellectual property treaties through the WIPO; As long as the country is not suffering from internal IP conflict/pressure it will not benefit from strong international IP law and compliance.
If I understand the history correctly, the USA didn't recognize international IP until it joined
Note that these dates are 100 years apart. Also note the 100/200 years between 1790 when USA IP law was established and the joining of relevant conventions. China's non-compliance is not very different practically from the USA's many generations of non-recognition. However, China is part of the mentioned treaties which could indicate that eventual compliance is not likely. And I realize that international enforcement was probably almost impossible until recently anyway.
Of note is Sprint/Nextel who opine that "underserved" should include all areas where fewer than three broadband providers are present. Presumably they exclude satellite services but include wireless services of at least 3Mbps.
There have been numerous recommendations for avoiding the political realities of raising the definition of broadband while providing meaningful data for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. For example: defining an "underserved area" as below 10 to 15 Mbps. www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/comments/731B.doc
The whole situation is disgusting but there are some realistic solutions.
When every other company is spending 75% of their budget on marketing you have a huge disadvantage to make up that's just not possible with quality alone.
Comcast wants the FCC to match OCED in defining broadband at 256kbps download. The FCC has previously defined broadband at 200kbps in either direction; in March 2009 they voted to change the lower limit to 768kbps and call the lowest tier "basic broadband". 200kbps to 768kbps is supposed to be called "first generation data". http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9898118-7.html
The rollout of the new definition does not seem to be going well, as recent FCC documents are continuing to use old definitions. From september 2009: http://www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form477/477inst.pdf
One problem: most of it is tiny, even microscopic. The primary deposit is likely about 100 feet deep with a typical maximum concentration of about 0.004 gram per square meter near surface level. There is also likely a much greater concentration on the ocean floor.
In the real world it would be opt-out. And you would have to mail a certified letter that contained your social security number for identity verification to do so. Your social security number would be noted in the opt-out database as the primary key. And you would be charged a maintenance fee when you did. You would probably never get a response. Even if you did get a response, the program would not be controllable and the opt-out is supposed delete your data after it iss collected. Except the delete mechanism is broken because it was never implemented due to budget concerns and incompetence. Even before the program started your demographics have already been sold to countless people.
It meant yesterday he didn't need any data space to represent the zero times he has rooted for Real. Today, a one-bit integer is necessary (which has possible values zero and one) since the times he has rooted for Real is no longer zero. Therefore he is has now rooted for Real one time. On the subject of correlation vs causation, he did not specify that this article is the impetus but it can be reasonably inferred.

The real question will be: would you rather buy Moblin or Maemo?

Maybe a vm for each app would be easier? That's what I do for my web server and it makes updating/fixing stuff a lot easier.

Tell me where these towns are so that I don't end up with my backyard there

How could my workplace require what I use on my own computers, especially at home? Personal property shouldn't be used for work anyway!
Everything they do makes me feel less safe

Whups, March 2008 not 2009
