First Light Images - they are superb, but are there always so many artifacts in the beginning? Is there some calibration procedure still waiting to be performed?

If I own your machine, is it hard for me to install drivers back? Is it hard for me to hide the fact of installation? Is it hard for me to access hardware directly if I'm really after you? This is a good example of advice giving false sense of security. If their other advices are really like this your country is in a big big trouble.
Just as an example in the computer class of my university they tried to deny us access to floppy drives by clearing FDD type in BIOS and setting the BIOS password. This didn't hold for one month.
Sometimes students are just given a piece of equipment and either have to produce expected results or prove it's dead. And proving this thing is not functional can require more knowledge and confidence than students usually have. As a result, machines are found from time to time broken for years upon inspection despite students managed to successfully finish their lab work on them every week until last.
There ought to be someone to call first. My cellphone only exists in order to specify it's number in forms. At least charging it seems completely optional.
Man, with all your eggs in one basket like that, if your tech bag is lost, you're lost.
Wrong analogy - eggs are identical objects, iPod and cellphone aren't. If you lost your cellphone iPod will hardly replace it. Then, it only means you will look after this bag really really careful. Based on my experience I'd say it's much easier to look after one object than after dozen. It also greatly simplifies decisions like 'Can I leave this bag unattended for just 1 minute?'.
on both sides exactly fitting the stuff like cellphones and iPods these days, I can see no problem here. But have you considered swapping iPod+cellphone for mp3-capable cellphone, or iPod+cellphone+laptop for communicator?
When I first asked my dad many many years ago why do we have to write our own function for snow-free character output when there's one provided by DOS I had no prejudice against Microsoft.
You don't need any energy to glide, so you just climb (however slow) some high cliff and wait for someone looking tasty enough to take a walk down there. You only need to take off from land if someone wants to taste you, but with 18 meter wingspan you don't have many natural enemies.
The problem with 3G here in Japan now is that really bandwidth-hungry applications drain your day traffic limit in minutes, not even hours, while with a packet charge same happens with your wallet. Therefore everybody has a 3G phone but no one actually use its 3G capabilities. I think this is a serious problem should be solved before moving on, otherwise 4G will only do it in seconds and that's all.
Any MS Word ships with only one version of Equation Editor; it was 1.0 in Word 2, 2.0 in Word 6, and probably 3.0 or higher now. It means you cannot edit your old equations after switching to a newer version. Therefore most of those who tried to use Word for writing scientific papers left Word after version 6 came out, now only biologists and like still use it because they don't need no bloody math.
I thought it's well known now that at some point Intel simply became unable to mass-produce Celerons crappy enough not to run on higher clockspeeds, but they was still a market for low grade processors, so they decided to remark higher models - this is Celeron 300A. No wonder most of them could run 600 MHz because they were 600 MHz processors actually.
It's very nice of you to have had a REASON for nuking a city. Now if you ask old Japanese people they will bring a lot of reasons they went to war, for instance they completely depended (and still depend) on imports for living but there blocked by US and supplies were running low (personally I don't know what were up that time really, but I know many people had open doubts they could win the war with US still they started it).
Anyway don't you think people should ask themselves, and better do it beforehand, if it is absolutely NECESSARY to do things like these, not if there are any reasons.
Many fluorescent lamps already glow long enough in the dark to be annoying. And there are already emergency lights anywhere where terrorists (or natural disaster) can disrupt services, and presumably their batteries last longer, and they are controllable.
Well probably still a nice idea by itself, unlike using terrorist attack for the marketing.
All of you forget that you can be much more than 100% efficient in heating as proved by inverter air conditioners. So just 100% efficient heating is actually a huge waste of energy.
Cannot say for sure - time will tell, - but if you want to develop for Symbian UIQ you have to choose between Borland and Codewarrior, and people say Borland is a joke even despite it's free. This is quite a market, and it's only growing, and there's no Microsoft there. Probably it's already wider than Apple market was for them.
On the other hand, Visual Studio works for me, although completely unofficially. Been too lazy to install another IDE:)
1949 in fact. But funny part is that it was most certainly driven by the progress in radioelectronics, since radioactivity was discovered by Marie Curie long time before in 1898.
There is a shift, currently, to move all the fundamental constants (most importantly the kilogram) to be based on natural phenomena instead of, for example, a block of platinum-iridium sitting in a vault in France. The definition of a meter is already based on the speed of light.
So you just made speed of light absolute. Now all you need to fix the kilogram is to make Plank's constant absolute. Rest of the constants are bogus anyway.
Due to some technical glitches currently you can choose between the return trip or the landing, but we are working on making both options available simultaneously...
I watched live coverage on the BBC until the tank separation, it looks like everything went smoothly, and they have more cameras than F1 now. Probably all these delays were just one big media trick.
This is a very common mistake. On the front-page of some IBM's web-site Earth rotated in the wrong direction as well (although site was in no way topography-related). Defect was opened. Solution? "In the next version the Earth will not rotate."
I also saw it in the TV news heading (but not on NBC, it was Russian channel). Probably designers do it wrong in 50% of cases.
Not hanging Mozilla for me, but I hate embedded pdf's anyways. There's a key in Mozilla for Windows' about:config with a minimum version of acrobat plugin to search (type 'acrobat' in the search field because I don't have no windows around here to check it for you now). Type some large value there (i.e. 10), remove acrobat's dll from mozilla's plugins directory and voilà you can view pdf's with your favorite external pdf viewer. Should work with Firefox as well.

Newly hired management team is probably taking it more serious, who can blame them?

You don't have milliseconds this way, but with a program smart enough you can collect them over time.

Huh?
