Are there any other VW owners that have a problem with this picture.
I tried installing my iPod the same way, but I quickly found that it wouldn't rest in the ashtray location while leaning back. There isn't enough clearance of the A/C controls. In the picture, you can clearly see that the iPod leans BACK (away from the vehicle driver).
Did he do some voodoo here, or is it possible to install an iPod this high in the ashtray and have it lean back (instead of forward, which was my solution)?
Can the installer post a picture of the iPod actually docked in that iPod slot (or email me how you did it!)?
If they insist on abusing the law, perhaps the file sharers should give them a taste of their own medicine.
By making a user "buy" a song from some provider, the user can lawfully affirm that they purchased the music and they had no reason to believe otherwise. Now the definition of "buy" can vary greatly from site to site, and if some server agreed that a user could download the media in exchange for the promise of payment (a contract). The user wouldn't really be liable, I believe. However, I am not a Lawyer, and I don't portend to be one.
If these top-level servers/providers turned over rapidly enough, the legal system wouldn't really be useful as a quashing system.
Just my.02 cents.
DISCLAIMER: I download all of my music legally from iTunes. However, I enjoy providing out-of-the-box solutions; particularly when they protect peoples' rights.
I wonder why they're requiring all AP's to be registered.
Is there a reason that all of the new techology runs on higher 2.4Ghz spectrum and not lower frequencies? Is there a correlation or is it just how things have worked out?
If there's a correlation, it could be the FCC pre-empting wi-fi regulation by laying down the rules before future technology is adopted.
It's the government afterall, so the FCC would likely know about new technology long before we consumers would.
What if the next-gen WiFi devices, etc. are designed or forced to operate in this new spectrum; and thusly, regulated/registered?
It's the biggest city in the Southeast. The Southeast is known for a lower cost-of-living. For the most part, you get the benefits of big city life (Theatre's, Amusements, Concerts, etc) for less than you'd get in places like L.A., NY, or Chicago. The pay is pretty good (relatively), yet your average daily expenses will be lower (ex. a Gallon of Milk won't cost you an arm and a leg).
It's a big with a warm/Southern feel and suprisingly, there is a significant amount of very intelligent people around here. Granted, it's no San. Fran., but it's probably your best compromise (the beach is only 2 hours away, if you're into [legal] watersports).
Most people don't know about Firefox. I'm using the term "most" generically, and I'm not implying that Firefox isn't growing rabidly. I am, however, saying that Joe Q. Public doesn't know about it, and unless it's spoon-fed to him, he won't get it.
Look at the bright side, at least it's helping the web by moving Joe Shithead over to [a] Firefox based browser.
Also, per your sig: I tend to think Echelon prefers words like: DOD, Zarquawi, Arlington, Blacksburg, Cheyenne, Twinkle and Turquoise, PDB, POTUS and [insert your own expletive here].
Did he work something out with his wife so she could keep hers?
Seriously, I've heard of women keeping Maiden names, but not men. I doubt it's a Maiden name thing, but I'm just curious how he got a hyphenated last name.
Because there is no market for them...

Sure, there are 'bleeding-edge' early adopters of the technology; but that doesn't necessarily mean that your average Joe Q. Shithead is going to need one. Hell, even PDA's are only used by a small percentage of the populous.
There is going to have to be a catalyst to lead to wearable computing for the masses.
Even as great of a product as the Newton was, it was premature to market. The same thing is happening with the Wearables. Something needs to happen to make people need/want a wearable. Until that happens, expect them to remain on the fringe.

You don't think it would sell for more than $2,000? There are some very wealthy BSD fanatics out there.
Now I'm very curious as to just how much it would sell for.
I wonder if they had pipelineing enabled in FF

I doubt they had pipelineing enabled on FireFox.
These days, I take tests like these with a grain of salt. Particularly after the Gartner groups speed tests of Windows vs. Linux. They tweaked the hell out of a Windows machine, and used a stock Linux install and claimed Windows was faster.
When called on it, they conceded.
I have a feeling something similar is happening here.
I intentionally used a small sample size to illustrate my point.
Given almost _any_ question/sample size I can rationalize any (if not all) of the provided answers. Most likely, I'll be able to rationalize multiple answers, and therein lies the problem when it comes time to circle an answer (or two, or three, or all).
As I said, I firmly believe that a person can be too intelligent for his/her own good - overthinking can be as detrimental (if not more so) than not thinking at all.
Also, if you're going to imply that I'm calling you dumb, which I never did, try not to misspell your name, "CosmeticLobotomy", whilst doing it; dumbass.

It's still a great install though.

(Yeah, one hour drives (or more) are LOCAL in LA).
Man, I thought Louisiana was a pretty laid back state, too. I guess I won't be moving there any time soon.

For what it's worth, I meant "big city" in the above post.
I also think that "there is a significant amount" is grammatically correct. Please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
