You'd like to have a PDA with good double precision (64bit) floating point performance then, which most do not have. But an AMD Geode - as used in the OLPC project - could fit the description.
What are we to do between work and sleep, what are we to do? I have no problem with conversing with strangers on slashdot, totally wasting my well measured time in this world.
I was not referring to Bjørk nor Kidman when I said proper job (and nor were you.) But it is my firm belief that both of those guys would raise an eyebrow when you say it is a very desirable way of living to be an actress/actor
You mean they could be good role models like in: "I couldn't get a proper job despite my academic education(s) but hey, who can complain when you get millions for jumping up and down like a monkey?"
Go ahead, please! Rip out those unused parts that nobody uses anyway.
And by the way - since I would want this as a silent Linux box - you can rip out the Blueray as well and scrap that useless nVidia card. If you then unbundle the sixAxis also, then...
The 1900 leap year bug presented in Lotus123 etc could easily be fixed upon saving the spreadsheet to XML and - if you really feel this is productive - reintroduced when saving back to one of the legacy formats. The argument against this scheme would be that a theoretical spreadsheet which corrects the bug internally would be broken. Thats fine with me, I really do not like the idea of broken spreadsheets being circulated indefinately. Somebody used the wrong tool at the time and will now have to pay up for that. Or stick with the binary format that still works and will keep on doing that.
That Lotus never thought of spreadsheets dealing with dates beyond the nearest economic horizons, need not to be any of our concerns. To the contrary, an ISO standard should instead stick to well known established sane standards. Leap year bugs, Y2K issues and what have you, simply does not meet that specification.
I mean really, you expect just everyone to know how to use the technology completely?
Well, we do require drivers licenses and such without too many people making a fuzz about that. If you can't handle the tech (or afford somebody to install it,) then this is obviously not for you.
However, all a person then needs to commit fraud is to capture these scans and feed it back to the software...
And how would this be any different from capturing your pin-codes and feeding them back to the application? I for one already have a build-in scanner (my eyes) as well as fingers that will do just that.
The difference here is that Apple is selling with a healthy profit, increasing their financial position for each item sold and delivered, whereas this alledged scammer would go bust the very moment he tried to deliver the promised goods. So, unless he is a complete idiot, he won't do that.
Please understand this: The numbers simply do not add up!
"1&2. How could you lower the price so much compared to the price of 3000 SEK that you mentioned in http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.100914 ? 1000 SEK is quite a bit lower. Why did you change the idea from not selling directly to customers as you staded in http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.100914
1&2) It is true that we went out in the first article on IDG.se telling that the price for the end consumer would be around 3000 SEK. That is because the companies we were discussing with wanted to have a big profit on each laptop sold to the end consumer. Since we at Medison believe it is better to offer a laptop so that everyone can afford to buy a laptop, we decided to offer our Medison Celebrity to a very good price where we have very, very low margin so that everyone can buy a laptop rather than giving too high profits to other companies and have less computers sold to the end consumers."
So the involved companies would just suddenly agree on not making any or have an extremely small margin?

"3. Why is this last change and sell-start rushed is such a way? I.E companys started in just a few days, contracts created in so such short notice that most of the companies you mention on your site doesn't know anything about you?
3) There has not been any 'rush', but actually has been carefully planned over some time. Any kind of registration of company name or domain does not show wether a strategy is planned or not in a company. This kind of information can instead be done on purpose to not reveal to competitors what is going on. But then again, Medison has no obligations to answer what its strategy is and therefore any kind of interpretations made by people outside the company."
I would call it either a rush or a failure that the companies listed on your website dodn't know anything about you at first. Which one do you prefer?

"4. Why is your company adress sharing the exact same address as several hundred others?
4) Medison is registered, as many other companies both in UK, USA or any other European country on an address shared by many companies. This is quite normal. Let me give you an example. In a high sky scrape building with 41 floors, all of the people living there have the same address. We do not see our common shared addres as something strange, but rather normal."
I wasn't asking about why A company would have it like that. I was asking why YOUR company had it like this. Let me ask the question in another way: Would I correctly assume that your address stated on your site is just a forward or P.O Box like address, and that you don't really have any office in UK at all? If that is the case, do you have any office at all, and what would the visiting address be?

"5. Why do a serious company use a hotmail adress to register their domain? Why is the phone number in the same registration going to some random person in Malmö and not the registrar?
5) In USA it is VERY common that business people use a hotmail address or yahoo address together with their business e-mail addresses. It is common to do so as an insurance to not miss any important e-mails in case a mail server would crash. Since the companies offering Domain names have no rules that say a person or a company cannot use a hotmail address when they register, then we don't see what relevance your questions has. If the domain company has not updated their client
As opposed to say putting the artists in a soundproof room, and the recording and PC gear in a control room.
Having the artist and microphones away from any noise source is of course a prerequisite. But if you believe that sound engineers can do their jobs properly in the control room while constantly being disturbed by noisy fans and hard drives, you would be terribly mistaken.
No faphil, I do not recall the "Vodka Bottle Murder" incident:-D
More important is your claim that the monument was known to be relocated and not to "magically disappear", a claim which is in line with what also was reported here on my side of the Baltic.
communists, drunkards, desecrators of graves, and enemies of the state. The two first arguments here are very minor, really. Visiting grandpa's grave, giving a toast to "the party" as well as to grandpa isn't an offence, but rather a tradition, what you would expect (nomatter if you are "red" or "white")
Your last argument, that they are likely to be "enemies of the state" is new to me though, but perhaps not that far fetched. I will look into that, and try to figure out how much of this is fear and how much is fact.
Max, thankyou for your report, as seen from Ukraina. Mine was as seen from Stockholm, which is also a distance away from the place of the actual events.
The Beeb didn't get this on their radar before long after "Johnny come Lately" woke up... A fair and honest report from a russian inhabitant of Tallinn would be most welcome. Anyone?
The summary says that Estonia wanted to "remove Soviet monuments", which is an excaggeration. The monument in question was moved to a less prominent place, which is kind of understandable since the Soviet era of Estonia isn't regarded much higher than, say the Nazi occupation of places like Denmark or The Netherlands...
The important thing to remember here is that the monument is still visible for those who wish to pay their respect to their ancestors. The monument is not, and never was, removed.
Muslim Arabs simply do not belong in the Holy Land.
Your argumentation is a bit on the vague side here. Let me try and help You out with a quote from Mark Twains great American novel "Tom Sawyer abroad", where Tom explains the self evident truths of this world to his somewhat perplexed companion, Huckleberry Finn:
...
I thought he must be losing his mind. But no, he was in real earnest, and went right on, perfectly ca'm.
"A crusade is a war to recover the Holy Land from the paynim."
"Which Holy Land?"
"Why, the Holy Land -- there ain't but one."
"What do we want of it?"
"Why, can't you understand? It's in the hands of the paynim, and it's our duty to take it away from them."
"How did we come to let them git hold of it?"
"We didn't come to let them git hold of it. They always had it."
"Why, Tom, then it must belong to them, don't it?"
"Why of course it does. Who said it didn't?"
I studied over it, but couldn't seem to git at the right of it, no way. I says:
"It's too many for me, Tom Sawyer. If I had a farm and it was mine, and another person wanted it, would it be right for him to --"
"Oh, shucks! you don't know enough to come in when it rains, Huck Finn. It ain't a farm, it's entirely different. You see, it's like this. They own the land, just the mere land, and that's all they DO own; but it was our folks, our Jews and Christians, that made it holy, and so they haven't any business to be there defiling it. It's a shame, and we ought not to stand it a minute. We ought to march against them and take it away from them."
"Why, it does seem to me it's the most mixed-up thing I ever see! Now, if I had a farm and another person --"
hardware that they won't be able to manufacture any cheaper than US companies do. Please... Companies in the USA do not produce any cheap computers, Chinese companies do!
