A quick google came up with the following website: http://www.ruggednotebooks.com/
They have notebooks with sealed keyboards, low reflectivity (especially greate for the desert conditions:) ).
Unfortunately, software is base-2. Hence now we are going to have the following interesting things in documentation:
Max File Size: 2.199023255552 TB.... As the storage will always be in words, double words, etc. which are based on base-2. It does not make sense to me to use KiB and kB, etc as it will not reduce the confusion with the average user.
Oh this makes me sooooo grumpy. FFS, who does the International System of Units think they are. 1024 does equal 1 kilobyte... always has been. That's what I was taught in school. If I had answered 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte, it would of been zero marks.
According to the Oxford Dictionary: noun Computing a unit of memory or data equal to 1,024 bytes.
According to Websters Dictionary: A unit of information equal to 1024 bytes.
According to Cambridge Dictionary: a unit of measurement of computer memory consisting of 1024 bytes
According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kilobyte:
Unless your site is specifically targeting iPhone users, this is a generally bad idea. Sure, design your site that if it is an iPhone browsing it, then it looks pretty on it. However most users still browser the net using traditional browsers.
Proper business and design processes make good secure websites.
LCD is way better than CRT sure. I work on a LCD all day, and have noticed a huge difference in eye strain. My e-ink however gives me the same feel as reading a book. Personal preference maybe... also the battery life on my Kindle is awesome.... no LCD is going to come close to it for some time. And trust me, when you are travelling that makes a huge difference.
This is exactly the frustration I have with my Kindle. While everyone is happily reading their paperbacks, I have to sit staring at the back of the seat in front of me, waiting for the restrictions to be lifted.
If users are worried about their DNS requests being logged.... as could be the case, they should use an OpenDNS server, or non local server. In the case with Iran, etc.. simply point, your DNS to something offshore.
I agree with the point you are making, if a government wants to censor content, or violate your privacy they can intercept the TCP traffic. Leaving offshore VPNs as the only solution to those not wanting to be monitored.
regexp ?!?!?!..... try running that one through PERL:P
Should be more like:
while (my $line = <$dodgypost>) {
$line =~ s/dept/debt/i;
print $fixedpost $line;
}
After the latest update, the Kindle2 has native PDF support. It seems to work quit well. The formatting is pretty good, it seems to have some problems with certain images though. The only major annoyance, is the fact that you cannot change the PDF font size.
This feature has come in handy, as I now print all my documents to PDF and stick them on my Kindle.
Actually I can see a HUGE market for this in South Africa... with the power outages we had last year, this would be way better than having a generator running. Less noise and air pollution.... where do I sign up?
Hey.... heres one RIAA went into cahoots with the bankers to create the current recession... people stopped spending money on PC games and fell back on "cheap" entertainment, movies!
Actually, robust memory handling is not that difficult to achieve, as long as you write concise modular code. It is really not that difficult to think to yourself, what is the scope of the memory or object you are allocating. But in the hands of the in-experienced or sloppy coder... they can unleash the most horrendous leak riddled code possible.
That's exactly what religion DOES.... speculate on the parts you cannot see:P
Therefore, is religion a science that does not yet exist, or is it science that is impossible?
I agree... I am a complete dinosaur(31). I sometimes feel that tech has distanced us from our communities(not the online version). When last did you take the time to go round to your neighbour and have a drink, or invite them round. And being contactable always... well that just sucks.
My cellphone, only gets charged now, when I really need it...
Now if I could only break my/. and stumble addictions, I might actually get a life:)
Very simple... Install a mini nuclear reactor in your garage... compress the air from "emission" free power source... and there you go.
You didn't say it had to meet all the tree hugger requirements:P....

Actually make Pi = 4. As Pi r square!

Letting all the users of slashdot access my friends ... I see trouble in future :P

So until the guardians of the English language change
Ahhh young grasshopper ... you have much to learn about the world.
Of course you can write exploit free code ... see example below:
... anyway, thats all the Anonymous Cowards understand about coding anyway :)
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}
Well
Use wget :P

my $quality = 100;
my $initial_project_time = length($piece_of_string) / ($count_programmers);
my $real_project_time = ($initial_project_time + ($scope_creep_time * $count_non_it_business_staff)) * $3.14;
if ($slave_driving_boss eq "yes") {
$real_project_time = $real_project_time / 2.5;
$quality = 60;
$bugs = random;
}
And thats why PERL was created ...highlighting taken care of :)
And don't forget the cheapest of the lot, as in Pen and Paper games, like tic tac toe, hang-man, etc. :P

Yes ... nice rebly. I accebt, that I was outsmarted. I am now debressed, and will no longer write such rebulsive code. :)
