    Agreed. When people at my office type their passwords around me, I even make a point out of turning my back and looking the other way. I can access everything they can without their password, I don't need them thinking I can do it as them too.

    How do you work the USB keys? is there a commercial product that can do this? I would like to have much the same setup, but have never heard of something like this. I also have passwords in an envelope sitting with management. I even printed a completely black page to surround the passwords inside the envelope.

    My thought as well. How long after it enters the atmosphere, but before it breaks up will there be. Is it possible that it could end up "floating" on the atmosphere and not actually break up, that would be some great pictures. Though I am sure that is very unlikely. The most likely occurrence I see is that as the craft enters enough of the atmosphere to be called an atmosphere all the sensors would be ripped off from the deceleration and we would cease to receive signal from it.

  4. Re:Who gets to decide what the iPad is? on History Repeats Itself — Mac & the iPad · · Score: 1

    As for working to prevent people from using it beyond 'approved' uses, it's because your purchased is subsidized by the App Store lock-in. They sell it cheaper because they make money off of you through the App Store (and from AT&T for the iPhone). Note video game consoles, which are often sold for a loss. If you wanted to get away from this model, be prepared to pay more.

    I don't think it's immoral to subsidize the price through the lock-down. I also don't think Apple is wrong not to release a more expensive unlocked (and therefor unsubsidized) version. I can understand the reason to want it, but not the moral imperitive to make it mandatory.

    You really think that this device is subsidized? I can't imagine where you think it should cost more then $499 for the base unit to be manufactured, and the base software written. This is more expensive then I can buy a fully functional laptop for, are you saying a laptop is subsidized?

    There are precisely 2 lunar points that have effectively 24/7 line-of-sight to the Earth - each pole.

    Did you perhaps mean the Sun rather then the Earth? Roughly half of the moon always has line of site to the earth.

  11. Officers on Cells on "Phone In One Hand, Ticket In the Other" · · Score: 1

    How many officers have you seen chatting on their cell phone? I know every officer I see driving around is on their phone. Maybe they need to start fining all these reckless police officers before it becomes a problem.

    So yeah, when the officer pulling you over sets down his phone to give you a ticket, what do you say?

    Personally, I have handsfree built into the car and have not had an issue.

    Actually, from experience it is rather difficult to find a 16:10 24" screen, most of them are 16:9 which really pissed me off buying my second monitor. You have to get a high(er) end screen to get the 16:10.

    That was the older version of the hardware. They just released a new unit along with an upgrade for the older unit that utilizes a fan. The old unit used an ATI video card which could not handle 1080i, the new one uses a nVidia chipset which can.

    Unlimited = Unlimited. They can't put a cap when they say unlimited. Mt MiFi is limited, and the cap is clearly visible on my Verizon.net account, but the smartphone is really unlimited.

    To say unlimited on the plan, then to have it different in the fine print would be false advertising. Not that Comcrap didn't do that, but it is still false advertising to put unlimited and do something else.

    The problem I have though is that not one of these comments even talks about what I was saying, just a bad figure in it. The guy was quoting a recent report where it was shown that we have more actual traffic then any other country in the world. Does it really matter if we have 2X the number of people or 1000X the number of people? This site has a chart that illistrates it quite well, it is the second chart, they had to seperate commercial, edu, gov, and residential to get a figure even close http://educate-yourself.org/cn/EYalexastats20mar10.shtml

    I may not agree with what he was saying, but I believe what it was is that "The US has more internet users on high speed networks then any other country." Which would be close to accurate. By percentage, we could be behind, but the percentage of people isn't a very good figure when you are looking at it from his perspective, it is more of a usage and raw numbers to him. In that I can see us beating even China. The next line is:

    Seidenberg: Yes. Verizon has put more fiber in from Boston to Washington than all the Western European countries combined. All. We have—if you look at smart phones—not us, Apple, Google—they have exploded this market in the US. Ask any European if they're not somewhat envious of the advancements of smartphone technology in the US. So it just seems to me this is just not even close.

    He is saying that we have more capacity and usage then even Japan, which wouldn't surprise me as we have about 100X the number of people.

    From the US, I lived in New Mexico for fifth grade, and it was essentially the same thing. The girls had a separate class from the boys, the boys were taught what the different parts were, how they worked and such.

    Actually, the fuel efficiency depends on the car. I drive a Camry SE 4 cyl with a MT, it gets the exact same gas mileage as the AT version. Both have 5 gears, which is usually where you get the extra mileage on a MT.
