They didn't have to fend them off for ever. Germany was over stretched and undersupplied (it’s a tiny country that was crippled by WW1) they needed to win the whole lot quick hence Blitzkrieg the lightning attack. Nazis had to win before the 11th hour, Russia just had to wait it out (easier said then done). The war was essentially over when the 'German war machine' ground to a halt in Stalingrad.
I agree with everything except the cows bit. When the first microwave radio transmitters were built, radio presenters used to stand infront of the dish to warm up on cold days. It didn't bother them conciously but it was microwaving their kidneys.
Because you would need 5000000000000000000000000 = 5x10^24, 200 watt solar panels to get the same power, at least twice as many and so many batteries if you want to make it continuous like this set up. Wind is fine if you have an even bigger energy storage solution to deal with the upper and lower extremes of wind speed. Nuclear has the problem of a finite fuel source. and before you say "we don't need that much power" I say "shut up" playing with that kind of power makes all kind of magical things possible, artificial gravity; as much as you want clean water; sky scrapper farms; mass creation m=e/c^2; interplanetary conquest.
First of all European vacations are stressful enough without having a moody wife holding out for an ipad, so it could be safer to just “yes dear” her. Alternatively for the money you could get each of your kids a cheap netbook (maybe a ds for the youngest). Load it up with as many flash games, emulators, 90’s games, diary programs, mp3s, eBooks and video you want, which is all cheap if not free if you do a bit of surfing (put itunes on there if you want). Its more ‘crazy powerful’ than an ipad; each kid would have their own screen (I’m sure that’ll stop a few fights); with the money you save from not buying each of your apps you could get 8 cell batteries as well. If you want the internet get her an iphone (or better an android phone then you could tether all the netbooks) it does all the same stuff, its smaller and lighter when you’re seeing the sights and it’s got a camera. It’s a pity your not going at the end of the year the Notion Ink Adam is twice the ipad at half the price.
I like it. I see an apple sticker I think fantastic another person I don’t have to deal with IT questions from. That’s Mr Jobs job now. He will most likely just tell them "no" or "hold it differently" or "that'll be $360 more dollars" but that turtle neck stops all the complaining I used to have to put up with. If only there was a way for apple to be more restrictive I’m sure Steve thought it was idiot proof but I’m still getting stupid questions. Was the iphone 4 webcam built to only allow iphans to talk to iphans, or to protect the rest of us from video calls from them?
I haven't used (or heard of) this app, but what does it do if you try to change the volume of your music or phone call when also trying to take a picture?
I didn't think iphans could do two things at once. Isn't that why you guys don't get proper multitasking?
You haven’t used or heard of it because you are an end user, you have no say thus you have no need for that information. Sure they are trying to protect the customers from the confusion you have now. But what’s the worst that could happen? The song is a bit loud for the 10 seconds it takes to shoot a pic (that’s if the user can’t figure out how to change to the music player), or when you answer a phone call it closes/freezes the camera app. For the record even if you couldn't take photos while talking on the phone, a hardware button for the shutter is far superior to an onscreen circle.
The first iphone fucking sucks compared to the latest model. It comes down to advancement in technology as well as competition. If apple had never made the iphone we would still have devices getting smaller and faster, but we might have less fart apps. Say what you will about the old windows mobile machines but even though they are 10 years old they still do a lot of stuff an iphone can’t do now.
Hey, all I want is a 9 inch (or higher pad) with the ipad's battery life, a USB port, and a non-locked down OS (preferrably linux, but I'll take a Windows variant); all the other specs I can live with.
Notion ink adam, is that and more. Its operating system is android, but you could put ubuntu on it.
A lot of people said travelling to the moon was impossible as well. Just because you would never be able to find a way to create a bubble of space time around a space ship to enable ftl travel, doesn’t mean some one else won’t.
I work for a company that provides a meter, and logging service. For a single phase house load we would use an EDMI mark 10. You'll need an electrician to install it, but it has all the logging abilities and is quite accurate (+-.05%). Alternatively you can get a multimeter for your computer and hook it up to a CT (current transformer) which you clip around the main line coming into the house (no bare contacts no electrician) the current in the wire induces a current in the ct; (a lot of multimeter cards have a logging ability) and if you log those currents at intervals, and multiply those by the fairly constant voltage (240/110V). You’ll have watts over time. You can tell a lot about a person when you know when and how much electricity they use (for example when they use the washing machine, when they get up, when they have a roast dinner). I understand this story is from a few days ago, but hope it still helps.
I think you'll find it doesn't happen when some one mentions an ipad. Its when some one tells them the ipad is the bees knees and can replace all netbooks. Then they feel obliged to point out all the reasons it doesn't suit them. Its a natural reaction to the amount of hype apple products spew.
Really, thats how it is determined is it? i'm a dyslexic autistic and i can get their and there confused. It doesn't matter that i could code you under the table, nup it comes down to grammar. I'll take from your silence on the rest of my comment as agreement.
Good lord did you just compare the ipad to color TV. The day apple actually improves a product like that (and not just re-sell other peoples hardware at inflated prices with more restrictions) is the day I buy apple. Somehow I don't think the large amount of money it costs to get apple is at risk (not unless they got woz back).
I’m not really sure what geek even means anymore. It used to mean circus performer who did weird acts. But it defiantly doesn’t describe the millions of girls addicted to face book apps; grandmothers who need something dead simple; and middle age men who never really liked computers, but now all his mates at the golf club have one. However, I’m pretty sure all geeks are impressed with top of the line performance, compatibility, and customisation. When apple starts doing things like good ol wozzie then maybe they will go after the geeks till then it’s the wannabes, who are a lot less picky and more loyal than the tech minded elitists (they will just buy apple instead of comparing the competitions specs). (There are a few geeks with iphones its just not there target audience).
Wouldn’t it be nice if an i-phan didn't blow a gasket when you told them that the i-whatever doesn’t suit you for x,y,z reason. Or worse when you’re not even talking about his i-precious and he still leaps to its rescue (insecure much). Tablets are a fad because as consumers we want bigger screens on smaller devices. Plenty of people will use tablets for a while but, heads up display glasses, bendable/scrunchable displays, holograms, and brain computer interfaces are the future. I don’t want apple any were near my brain but I’m sure they will rush some one else’s product to market.
Ah yes reasonable suspicion. What constitutes reasonable suspicion I ask? Is it that the cops can see drugs, money and guns in the car (yes)? Is it that you took to long to pull over (obviously you were disposing of evidence)? How about if you get a little pissed off at a 65 in a 60 zone ticket (obviously your on meth)? How about if your too relaxed about getting a ‘move on’ order from an officer (obviously a stoner)? No offence but I would rather an educated, intelligent person that is an expert on the law make these decisions. Not some guy that got into the police force by qualifying for the ‘life experience’ clause (20 years of taxi driving); who then has to make a decision in the heat of the moment, possibly with adrenalin in his system (which decrease the already average IQ by half), and it’s the end of his shift so a search would mean overtime. The worst part about your comment is you freely admit its bad in NSW but you don’t care because it hasn’t happened to you yet. What happens when reasonable suspicion is because you visited a certain website, or because of how much you download?

Nothing spurs innovation like trying to kill the other guy.
or if some one is trying to kill you.
It’s fine when you’re fighting cave men. But any one with satellites can see you.

Would be nice if you could just string a cable from orbit to the ground, wouldn't it? Another reason to start working on that space elevator.
It would have to be a space elevator a million miles tall that still rotated with the earth some how (The sail is a million miles away).

Come on, Nintendo does not own the name Mario
kinda like how apple shouldn't own the letter i or the word pod.
I haven't used (or heard of) this app, but what does it do if you try to change the volume of your music or phone call when also trying to take a picture?

I’ve got hope for quantum entanglement communication. Twist one electron and its partner twists the same way.

Until a screen tech is perfected for both situations, there will be instances where each has it's weaknesses.
pixel qi.
Except when you set up a desktop in the park, all the picnickers get pissed about the sound and fumes the generator is making.

That propaganda is only suitable to a certain type of individual.

you can shave everything.
