No, not everyone will buy iPods. Instead, it will open up the market for adapters for other devices to iPod dock connectors, possibly with translating command signals.
It costs more money to include either an extra ROM or a bigger ROM that can contain restore code. That will cost Company A's product to cost more than Company B's product that does not include that code.
A good example of this is the Netgear WRT54G series. The newer versions use a 4MB ROM and a proprietary OS (VxWorks) instead of the old 8MB ROM and Linux OS. They wouldn't have made that switch unless they saved money, even factoring in license costs for the proprietary OS.
You'd be wrong. These are much simpler (think "Choose Your Own Adventure", as another poster noted). Mainly these are about the art and characters and the story and not wandering around solving puzzles like in the SCUMM games.
I have a feeling that this is so that people won't feel like they're paying $600 for a game system if they're actually only shelling out $400 for the system when they paid a $200 deposit 6 months earlier. It's a little trick, sort of like promising rebates, to get people to feel like they're paying less.
This is news, how? This guy would be fired if he said something like, "Sony is in trouble. We really have to get our act together or we will lose lots of market share to Nintendo and Microsoft. BlueRay really worries me too." Reporters ask the questions they do because they know the answers that they will get, but because they need person A to say it so they can quote them in their article or record it on audio or video for their program.
"The average cost of residential electricity was 9.86/kWh in the U.S. in March 2006."
The fee charged by Cow Power is 4 cents per kilowatt hour. That makes the price almost, but not quite, 40% higher. The 4 cents also does NOT go to the farmers. That goes to Cow Power. The farmers presumably get market price for the electricity, minus a commission for Cow Power, presumably. Chances are, after the capital expenditures (cost of generators and methane collection equipment) and maintainence costs, they won't make any money on this either. Cow Power are presumably the only ones who would make money on this deal, since they seem to just be brokers for the selling of this power.
I subscribed to get access to the full archives of user's posts. That was to search the past posts of another user I got into a flame war with. It took me about an hour or so, but I found enough information in his old posts to really seriously burn the guy. That was the best $5 I ever spent! Thanks Slashdot! Now I set my ad-free page views to 0 though so I keep my subscriber status without paying extra.
Unfortunately, even if you can read Japanese, most of the sellers on Rakuten auctions will not ship overseas. Almost all the auctions say: "gaikoku hassou: nihonkokunai gentei" (overseas shipping: limited to inside Japan).
Thus, they can be a useful tool. Lie detectors aren't black or white type machines but they can give hints. For example, if someone is questioned about a large number of things, and he gets nervous when answering certain questions, that might be a good place to start investigating. And no one would ever use a single source of information for that kind of thing, so that isn't an issue.
Why would it need to be effective? If you could use this thing to trick the suspected terrorist into revealing information, isn't that an effective use of the system? The ACLU seems to want the world to know that the technology doesn't work. All that will do is make interrogation of suspects less effective.
No, no. That's not the point. The OP was saying that the teacher IS a pedophile. With filtering, he just can't download CP. But without filtering, he CAN download it. Then he gets caught and (hopefully) loses his job and/or goes to jail. So it's better to have no filtering so that the pervs can be caught red-handed.
Use the easiest and most up-to-date distro you can. I personally use Fedora Core 5 for cross-development, but RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Ubuntu or whatever is probably fine. You'll need to add (or build) your own cross-compilers and debuggers. Nothing comes with those tools out of the box. And generally for every target, there is generally a preferred toolchain and set of libraries. buildroot (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) is very handy for building cross-toolchains, by the way.
Things that you'll want to install:
minicom (a serial terminal emulator program)
tftp server (for embedded systems to boot over the network)
telnet (for things that don't include ssh)
cross-toolchains (*-gcc) and cross-debuggers (*-gdb), you'll have to build these yourself, probably.
Then whatever development environment you want. I personally like using Eclipse with the C/C++ environment, since I don't need to manage makefiles or build scripts by hand and it can target native compiles as well as cross-compiling.
The "shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre" analogy was used to stop the distribution of flyers opposing the draft during World War I. The decision was that the flyers were illegal because they interfered with military operations (illegal under the Espionage Act of 1917).
I find depriving a student of his 1st ammendment rights or his education not in his "best interest."
He's not being deprived of his right to free speech, he's learning an important lesson about being responsible for his public statements. He has a right to say what he wants; they have a right to kick him out. No one is depriving either of them of either right. It's like how I have the right to post this and you have the right to call me an idiot and some other guy has the right to mod me "Overrated". Maybe it would be nicer if they just let this kid stay in school and maybe it would be nicer if people modded me "Insightful", but it's not a violation of anyone's rights.
They never wanted to bleed him dry. They wanted to bleed Apple dry (or at least feed off of the fat cow). In their type of class-action suit, they win and Apple pays $10 per iPod nano sold. Of that, the lawyers a lot of money covering their fat salaries and bonuses and the members of the class get a check in the mail for whatever's left. That's the way they do it.
Of course, they screwed up when they filed a class action suit without an actual member of the class signed in on the lawsuit. You actually have to have that. It's pretty important. So he was in a very good position. They needed him to continue. He could have negotiated with them for a percentage of the winnings, I bet. But instead, he screwed up and hired other representation and brought action against them. Nothing good will come of this for him now. And you know, his lawsuit actually is frivilous. They're not going to "go away" now that they have a pending lawsuit against them. That's the last thing they'd do. What an idiot.
So the guy brought a lawsuit against a law firm and he's suprised at the serious response he got. That's like trying to pet a tiger and being suprised when you get bitten.
The ticket agents (scalpers) have networks of people (smurfs) who buy tickets for them to the desriable shows. When ticketmaster limits sales to 2 tickets per address, they don't really affect the ticket agents because the agents each have dozens of smurfs buying tickets. That's why popular shows sell out within 5 minutes of going online on ticketmaster.com. I can see what the idea is here. If the ticket agents had to compete with the fans on the same level, then the advantage would go to the fans. Currently, the ticket agents are gaming the system to get the best tickets for themselves and then mark them up at a high price to the fans. If fans could buy tickets at the price the ticket agents would pay, it would put the ticket agents out of business.
Of course, I'd rather see a real competitor to TicketMaster.

...thanks OLPC. Soon we'll have a million new scammers online. Great.

Do video game stores generally provide a public outlet into which customers may plug a PSP in order to upgrade their firmware?
If you asked nicely, the store would probably let you use an outlet for 2 minutes.
I still haven't figured out which games are worth playing on PSP... other than SNES roms, that is.
In Soviet Russia YOU fix old TV's.
Uh, wait.

You can't sit a child in a classroom and expect him to learn things he needs to succeed in society.
According to this page (found via google for "cost of electricity").
http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/cost.html
"The average cost of residential electricity was 9.86/kWh in the U.S. in March 2006."

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Which is the easiest thing to do.
Checking everyone is also the most expensive, time consuming, and annoying method.
Uhmm i'm currently and happily using the Amrerican dropouts' latest offering to view this and type my reply... :)

Yeah, buy American!

Didn't I already play episode 1? Does that mean that HL2 was "Episode 0"?
