Doesn't it let you use it 2-letters to a key in portrait mode?
I downloaded an HTC keyboard for my G1, and it was an option in the settings.
It's really nice to tap-out a quick SMS that why, using only one hand.
For real typing I live the G1 keyboard. unlike most others, it is not a grid (diagonals like a normal keyboard), and there is a good mount of key separation.
I really wish something like an updated G1 existed (more RAM and CPU), but it doesn't.
Where I work we have a medium format scan back we use (it is essentially a 100 mega-pixel camera that scans across over about 15 minutes to get an image).
We are in Wilmington, DE, which is a fairly small city. I know there is a similar device in DC, which is not too far. We went to the Library of congress and actually scanned maps there as a test before purchasing it.
It actually allows for some interesting capture as one can adjust the lighting in different ways to get details a flatbed may not (we replaced a 2'x3' flatbed with it).
It could probably do the 1.5m one in two scans, and most smaller ones in one scan.
Look around your area for a place that offers art-reproduction for the service.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies, much less to render them necessary.
I love the combined of all windows in the taskbar. It was one of the compelling things about KDE a decade ago.
And with 15 explorer windows, 7 acrobat windows, 4 word documents, a custom work app, and power point all open for work, I am thankful to click on a group, and then the window title.
Though this is XP, maybe the effed it up in 7.
PS, I love your sig. nothing like driving in the third world to feel good about highway taxes.
I really like being able to set-up a hotspot in a conference room where IT are a bunch of pricks (ok overworked, and dealing with crazy mandates).
over the last year i've definitely made some people happy at multi-company meetings with the ability to get them all access to e-mail with no fuss. This is on a G1 (that I did root).
Don't know what the article is about, but I really like that I can just set-up a wifi network in 3 seconds, not sure if the iPhone does that either.
Analytics uses flash and not SVG for its charts (if memory serves correctly).
Also the google PDF viewer is the most pleasant use of flash ever. And considering the flash plugin is lighter and less heavy than the acrobat plugin, a great way to reduce annoying adobeness in ones browser.
And 10% is from my ass, and a minimum. Probably makes more sense at around 15% or 20%. Very high profits are the result of an artificial situation in the market (generally in the form of intellectual property protected by the government resulting in higher prices for the consumer).
The margin for the S&P 500 as a whole appears to be around 6%
The problem I have, is that companies are allowed to use my tax dollars to rape others on price with absolutely no consequence (and I am not saying a cap, simply a reduction on profits beyond a certain point).
I am not anti intellectual property, but when it is used to make profits in extreme excess of a natural market I believe it is problematic. Your entitled to your opinion too, but I don't think it is as cut and dry as you think it is.
The energy industry BTW is the exact opposite of what I mean.
I really don't think profit taxes are a bad thing, especially if there were some large non-refundable credit on them (like hypothetically 10% of gross). Generally huge profits come from screwing the consumer with a monopoly protected by the government (patents).
The entire value of a patent (for the patenter) is that you are able to over-charge for a product, as other people won't be able to use the technology. This value is charged to all customers of products using a given patent, driving up cost. If a company drives the cost up too much using the government as its enforcer, then it would be fairly reasonable in my mind to give the government some extra money to cover the cost.
Any waitperson I've talked to says they don't get paid more for being nice and attentive either.
They do the best when slightly frazzled. Empathy is a better motivator for a tip than good service apparently.
Also, unless you work somewhere with a pay table that determines your salary, the quality of your work almost certainly is part of how your pay is determined.
There was a report on NPR about it a while back, and you pretty much captured the issue.
Also, these people watch the missile they launch until impact, in many ways it is more up-close and personal than flying a bomber.
That with the complete disconnect from surroundings (Killing people than going to the soccer game), is creating a new situation, that the full mental impact is not fully understood yet. But the drone pilots are being watched, and the military is aware that it is new, and the ways to help are likely to be somewhat different.
non-sexual nude images are generally not considered CP (in the US anyway). This is at least according to what various sites were saying when the teen sexting thing was news a while back.
Graphic cartoons, could count and it would not be a contradiction. To be clear, I don't think people imagining things and then writing/drawing them is CP, but it does not make it inherently true that airport scanners are.
My biggest complaint with OS X is the lack of consistency.
As they take away the "F" keys, shortcuts in design applications get taken away by the OS. The hide the dock shortcut took-over a shortcut in Quark.
Your comment highlights this with "Depending on the revision of MBP". F9 is part of the expose shortcuts, except it's not. I think F8 is the desktop wall, except also not.
Fair enough, but I still prefer the orange theme of Feisty over the blue of Windows, or the grey of OSX (though 10.5 is a nice grey theme, as is KDE 4.2).
Not a troll, I am curious. I find compiz fantastic, stable, and fast. The KDE4 compositing (haven't used since 4.2 or 4.3 I think) to be slow (in FPS), and crashy.
Sure KDE has widgets, but they are also slow, and with compositing would sometimes crash, causing it to reload into non-composited WM. The folder widget scrolls VERY slowly, destroying the benefit of such a system.
The features in KDE are nice, but just not smooth yet.
And, no k3b, as the gnome equivalent gains ground.

There has to be somewhere that does this.

I call it a point of redundancy, as I can work with a failed touchscreen, or a failed keyboard.
Well Adam Smith would say:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies, much less to render them necessary.
Why would they eliminate patents?
Yeah, this is impossible:

Though I assume they mean it in a way I won't search right now, as I'm in a public building using their internet.

What I find stupid, is the moving of the window "action" buttons.
What I find funny is how low Novell's name has fallen (Nortel and Norton both being the subject of posts).
If you haven't re-upped since last October, call them.
They will let you break contract for free, and go to one of the cheaper no contract plans ($20 less/month). then buy a Nexus one full price.
If you have signed a contract since last October, then too bad...

Google does good stuff with flash.

Hasn't ARM been doing this for ages?
I swear I read a review of the netwinder appliance, and that it the review mentioned it a cheap way to start hacking with a VLIW architecture.
This was many years ago, and it was essentially an office file-server appliance.
really?
because the report I heard was of a car that couldn't be put into neutral, AND that did not have keys.
oh, and the push-button that starts it does not turn it off with a simple push.
who said a cap on profits?
And 10% is from my ass, and a minimum. Probably makes more sense at around 15% or 20%. Very high profits are the result of an artificial situation in the market (generally in the form of intellectual property protected by the government resulting in higher prices for the consumer).

10% of gross as an allowance as a minimum I would say.
In fact the margins at Exxon are quite low, probably because they do not have a monopoly, and are selling a true commodity.

the words "whenever possible" come into play I would imagine.

not true.
non-sexual nude images are generally not considered CP (in the US anyway). This is at least according to what various sites were saying when the teen sexting thing was news a while back.
Graphic cartoons, could count and it would not be a contradiction. To be clear, I don't think people imagining things and then writing/drawing them is CP, but it does not make it inherently true that airport scanners are.
Yeah, you can.
But it sure makes me appreciate windows where there is a special key (command) for global shortcuts, and apps can do as they please.
And I don't find moving OS shortcuts, even with pictograms a good solution personally, as shortcuts are about muscle memory.
My biggest complaint with OS X is the lack of consistency.
As they take away the "F" keys, shortcuts in design applications get taken away by the OS. The hide the dock shortcut took-over a shortcut in Quark.
Your comment highlights this with "Depending on the revision of MBP". F9 is part of the expose shortcuts, except it's not. I think F8 is the desktop wall, except also not.
Or, in the case of TF2 at least, comical piles of death.
Fair enough, but I still prefer the orange theme of Feisty over the blue of Windows, or the grey of OSX (though 10.5 is a nice grey theme, as is KDE 4.2).
Where is GNOME really letting down?
Not a troll, I am curious. I find compiz fantastic, stable, and fast. The KDE4 compositing (haven't used since 4.2 or 4.3 I think) to be slow (in FPS), and crashy.
Sure KDE has widgets, but they are also slow, and with compositing would sometimes crash, causing it to reload into non-composited WM. The folder widget scrolls VERY slowly, destroying the benefit of such a system.

And, no k3b, as the gnome equivalent gains ground.
