I think you mean second generation photo frames. The first generation had superior DPI, didn't use any power and was a lot cheaper. It was also often made of wood.
I have immense library available to me on my computer, including my laptop, why would I bother listening to internet radio?
Because internet radio still has songs you don't have, and you might even discover new music you'll like. Pandora is really good with that. Half of the artists I listen to now I've discovered through Pandora. I also like the fact that I don't need to hand pick the songs or albums I want to listen, but instead just tune to a radio that plays the kind of music I'm in the mood for.
I bought Mass Effect 3 and you wouldn't believe all the hoops I had to jump through just to play the game. One of them was as silly as downloading the game files from the EA server even if I had them on the DVDs I had bought. The Origin client was a beta version, and when I contacted EA support to ask for a stable, they said they don't have one. I also asked if I could play the game if Origin network is shut down. The answer was that it's a new network and it's constantly expanding, so I shouldn't worry about it shutting down.
OK, so earlier Amazon was cheaper than local stores, because you didn't have to pay the local sales tax you'd need to pay if you bought from your local store. They seem to be switching to a scheme where they can deliver stuff to you quicker, but the prices are higher because of the tax. Sure they might kill some of the local competition, but it shouldn't affect the prices that much. All you need is some other company that ships from another state and thus can compete with the price - keeping it low.
So wouldn't this be the easiest way to poison their database on you. Just subscribe to some mailing lists or arrange for some random mail sent to your @facebook address... Can you adjust it so that you don`t get any notifications of new mail?
"But the root of all these evils is the love of money, and there are some who have desired it and have erred from the faith and have brought themselves many miniseries."
So you're all set up if you just like money and limited-run TV shows?
It gets even better than that. I have installed Kubuntu to a USB stick. I've booted about ten different computers from it and had them work perfectly. Or at least I haven't come across any problems. Even the wireless connections on laptops have worked fine. I'd like to see someone try that with windows.
The main problem right now is that each kernel must be specific to the device, since each one is wired differently and there aren't any standards (in use) for enumerating the various chips available (e.g. bluetooth, GPU, etc.).
This is actually a huge problem for installing alternative OSs. Most of the drivers are closed source, and there is no incentive for the manufacturers to release or open them. It's actually the other way round. Manufacturers benefit more by keeping other OSs out, so for that to happen, there would have to be some sort of paradigm shift in the market.
Meg Whitman said in an interview with The Verge that they are planning on making more tablets later. We'll see how that pans out, but it might give webOS a bit more traction.
Also the open sourcing webOS might open the door for the Dalvik VM and running Android applications on webOS. That would make things interesting.
The preferred phone is Pre 3. I have one and it's... well... nice. Really nice. Not the superphone of my dreams, but really nice, and it's open. The webOS is marvelous, but there are a lot of kinks and small unpolished bits that are kind of annoying in the long run. I'm hoping opensourcing the OS will help fix those. The hardware isn't as good as I've been used to with Nokia phones, but it's nice never the less. The best points are the hardware keyboard and excellent design. The round shapes make it a unique piece of tech, and it fits in the pocket like no other, because everything's rounded. And did I mention it's open. People have been writing patches for years to improve the built in functionalities in all sorts of cool ways, so you get to customise it the way you like. OK now this is starting to sound like a pitch. I better stop.
Actually the text changes depending on your language, so it doesn't matter. The variable name is the key. btnG for normal search, btnI for I feel lucky.
It's a valid point, but on the other hand you can't routinely try breaking into random houses or cars with little chance of getting caught, and then use them undetected for your personal gains. Your crappy lock will do unless someone from your neighbourhood personally targets your house. With computer security there is a constant global crime spree trying all the locks all the time. This is why I think that computer security needs to be handled with extra care.
Combining this with google's I'm feeling lucky search is quite powerful. A lot of times you know where you want to go, but don't remember the exact URL. If you have gg as I'm feeling lucky shortcut, just write gg company name or gg site name and there you go.
It's quite sad really. I'm not a scientist, but I've learned enough of our universe to know, that there are plenty of places for a god to hide. We have all this dark matter and energy we're not really sure about, and the whole quantum mechanics stuff seems close to magical and has a lot to do with probabilities. We don't even know how gravity works. Oh and then there are the dimensions that may exist even though we don't seem to be able to observe them.
Now an entity that has control of these things would be pretty close to god in my book, so doing science and learning new stuff doesn't mean you have to accept that there's no god. Besides - no matter how much we learn, every answer brings more mysteries to solve, so it's not like you're ever going to know everything and prove that god doesn't exist.
This only works as long as they are using the original data. I don't know what the standard operating procedure is, but you'd think that the first thing the investigator does is make an image of the drive to make sure he/she doesn't accidentally anything. It would then be also trivial to restore the old keys and ask for the real password.

You know there was an alternative, right? I switched to WebOS after N800 and bought a Pre 3. HP blew that the next day. Still loving the phone though.
This is a good way to scare off potential small contributors. I'm not going to agree to perhaps need to travel to Finland so I can submit a fifty line bugfix, how 'bout you?
It's about a 15 minute bus drive to Nokia HQ from where I live, so...
So if using this connection gives $600M advantage a year over those that aren't using it, everyone will simply start using it. That way nobody will have the advantage and it's back to square one - only everyone be paying extra for the faster connection.
Why settle with just revoking the certificates? I may be wrong with this, but if the certificates are stolen and revoked, people shouldn't bump into them any longer unless they are used by the criminals. Instead of just saying "Hey, this cert isn't valid" why not put out a big warning that someone is doing nasty things on your connection right now.

I thought nuking from the orbit was the only way. I guess I'd better try this first next time...
