The problem is that we have lots of people trying to make money off it, which just won't work.
Unfortunately, it is illegal to ignore the fiducial duty of a company. It pretty much goes without saying that running a public service is going to be loss making (all those rural community routes, etc), which effectively makes it illegal (as a private company) to run a service that has 'public service' as its number one motto. Instead, it has to obey the fiducial duty, and maximise profit for those involved.
Private company... public service... never in a million years is it going to work:-(
It's an Americanism. M-W will of course have it in their dictionary, as they are an American company. If you ask the OED, then you'll find it as a North American term for "burgle". Instead of everyone criticizing each other, maybe we should _all_ learn to check a variety of sources before making such statements.
It's no secret that our current government wants to force motorists off the road, either through excessive use of tax, or any other congestion 'saving' scheme that involves more money on our part. For this reason, I don't believe these devices will be used to turn our lights green on approach, but rather to red instead. It's a sad state of affairs, and unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about it.
I wouldn't exactly call them expensive. I got my bluetoothed, mp3/ogg playing, photo taking, web browsing, email reading/sending, note taking, handwriting recognising, etc SonyEricsson P800 for the princely sum of £30 last year. It wasn't a dodgy shop, just a deal with a contract on Orange.
Admittedly, I'd be screwed if I lost it. But that's what backups are for. If it decides to go walkies, then sync all my contacts from the PC to a spare phone and off I go again.
Over here in Shitty Britain, the water board wanted to amend the EU regulations, and tax us for any natural water that we had access to. In effect, they wanted to tax the fscking rain that fell out the sky and had the misfortune to land in a bucket that was then used by us.
Dunno how far it got, but thankfully we're still not being taxed for our water usage (other than the flat rate for our supply) unlike England.
The Hindenburgs main problem was the chemicals used on the skin of the vessel. Don't be a fscking alarmist. If you're going to write a Slashdot article you could at least make an attempt at a decent job.
I visited these dudes a few years ago, when down at my friends employers and visiting their cuppliers (Armari). Got loads of pictures of the Cray T3d right here. Wonderful machine, wonderfully kept.
Dans machine wasn't quite (apparently) 'the first off the production line - Edinburgh uni (where this T3D came from) wanted one that could be upgraded without a lot of hassle. Cray could only offer them this one, which was their testbed unit, wired for a full complement of processors, but not fully populated. That's why it's innards are absolutely stuffed full of wires. Each wire is also a specific length, to ensure that the length of time it takes for electricity to flow down the wire is accurately accounted for in terms of clock ticks. The power switch that the author wished he'd taken a picture of is here
I loved Dans demo of the differing weight of cooling liquids. He had a milk bottle full of water, weighing a kilo or so, and then an identical bottle weighing about 3 kilos. The plumbing for the liquid cooling was done by a bottling plant systems manufacturer in Daytona if memory serves, and the metal braided hoses that are used in it are of the same type used in Formula One and Nascar cars. Wicked stuff:-)
You're probably wanting the 'RunAs' feature. On most apps, you can hold down shift and right click on the app. The contex tmenu will then have a RunAs option. You can either run as a local user, or as a domain user by prefixing the username with domain/ ie, domainname/username
You can also run this from the command line, simple as runas \user domain/user app.exe
Yeah, Windows sucks but sometimes we have to make do with what we've got.
Or, alternatively, a component in the TV failed roughly one year after he got the TV, which then caused it to emit the signal. Things _do_ fail y'know...
Went down to visit a friend a week or so ago, rented a car for the 3 days for a measly £60 ($100) and ended up with a shiny 2.2l Vauxhaul Vectra. Quiet spot on the motorway and wound it up from the regular cruising speed of 90mph to 135mph. I'm used to doing 120, but this thing was insane. It was still pressing us into the seat when I chickened out at 135mph. All that for £60... well worth it:-)
Most of my network runs Debian, so worms and viruses aren't too much of an issue. There is a Debian firewall up and running at the network edge, and all incoming mail is filtered by the mail server running spamassassin, clamav and exim for any viruses, thus protecting any Windows machines that collect mail from it. If needed, at home, AVG provides runtime virus protection for the Windows machines, and Norton AV Corp provides it at work. One day clamwin will support on-access scanning, which means I'll probably switch to that for home use.
When we visited the MSH visitor centers, one of the geologists from the days of original eruption was giving a talk about MSH. He describe how one day a about a year after the eruption had settled, a seismograph started going wild. A quick helicopter trip to the sight showed a moose using the seismograph housing as a scratching post. For all we know this could be blamed on the local wildlife settling in:-)
_America_ thinks it's got a tough time with broadband?! You guys are sitting there with your 3-8Meg ADSL/Cable for a pitiful amount of cash per month, and we're sitting on our wonderful 512k/sec 'broadband' connections for the equivalent of around $35 a month... Makes you wonder really:-(
Slashdot Mirror
Knowing Microsoft, I'm sure they're open 7/24... 7 hours a day, 24 days a month...
I'm sure it was a 'joke' - Where are the wearables?
Whereable, wearable... Play on words, etc

Because in our current sad state of affairs... it's all we've got :-/
He doesn't need his thumbs anyway.
Isn't his brain in one of them?
You may be interested in Bossogg, as it appears to have a lot of the functions that you're after.
Cos it's News for Nerds...
You complaining to me? I think you'll find that I'm on the same side of the Atlantic as you...

Unfortunately, as of December 5th, Google Groups Beta is back and you can't get to the original (wonderful) Google Groups anymore.
Wasn't the same said of the 'new interface' when Google bought Dejanews...?

Do you perhaps mean "facetious" :-)
The 1750's are about 15k each.
Remind me not to use your supplier... From dell.com a 1750 starts at $949...

Agreed. I especially like how they rotate a battery pack in order to lift one wing out the water and use it as an antenna :-)

That'll be where Planetary Protection comes into play.
