Err, ATI does publish specs and they even submitted patches to the XFree team. Guess what? The asshats at XFree rejected the patches from ATI. XFree didn't want to be bothered by any third party developers.
ATI does put drivers, but they are at the same stage as ATI was several years ago with Windows drivers. Not terribly good.
If you just want an organizer you could go for a VR3 and get good battery life. Forget the expansion cards though. And devolepment is static.
The other option is a Sharp Zaurus, but forget long battery life. The newer models are better, but well out of your price range.
Or you could try finding and IPAQ- iPAQ H3100, H3600,H3700,H3800,H3900,H5400, and H5500 series. Or SIEMENS Simpad: CL4, SL4, SLC, T-Sinus, GMate YopY, M&N Ramses. Still same problem with battery and usually less choices on expansion cards.
Basically you need a device that runs GPE or Opie, or comes with Qtopia.
There are many ways to anonymize the connection via proxies or public access.
The Local community college library has a bunch of computers and no logging of who uses them. The Public Library logs who uses the computers, but is not exactly meticulosu on saving the records.
Journalistic priveledge has excellent precedent in the US. So Apple really does not have a case. The only thing they base a suit on is violation of a contract. They don't have a contract with Nick. Trying to subpeona his sources is not going to fly with a judge.
It doesn't matter what harm such news might cause Apple. For them to behave in such a manner is unethical. It is the same if someone broke your nose because you said they were ugly.
But he is not doing anything illegal. the person providing info may be violating an NDA but that is still not criminal just a contract tort. Apple is on pretty shaky legal ground not having a contract with Nick.
Well, yes and no. It is not certain if Apple has a legal right to force this information. This is not a criminal issue nor a safety issue but a civil tort issue.
No contract exists between Nick and Apple so no contract has been violated. Apple will have to prove that somehow Nick is obligated to assist Apple in tracking the informant.
Then Apple will have to prove that Nick know or still has access to information on who the informant is. Nick very proably does not have knowledge of Real Names nor is he likely to keep logs of his contacts.
Provided all this the court could order Nick to cough up the info. Nick could still refuse but then face a "contempt of court" charge.
The best that Apple could reasonably hope for here is that Think Secret is shut down or required to keep logs fro Apple's perusal.
With this PR bombshell, the best Apple can do is sign a closed settlement with Nick where they pay him off to go away.
Except that RIAA is not receiving money prior to any lawsuits.
Presumably Nick is buying Apple stuff and if nothing else providing free advertising. Nick is not stealing Apple hardware nor is committing copyright infringement, at least not in regard to the website (he is a student so...).
What article were you reading? I saw one thing about remote workers "telecommuting" using telerobots (remoted controlled machines like what gets used now in some remote controled surgeries) and replacing local workers.
There are some schools of thought that think that homo sapiens sapiens was simply more aggressive than homo neanderthalis (or is that homo sapiens neanderthalis?).
The question is, did our ancestors outcompete the neanderthals or did we wage war?
At least tech support does not try to sell product, but often they still have to do stupid things like address by first name. I hate when that gets done to me. I don't know you from Adam, so call me by my last nmae or use "sir". "Sir" is considered too impersonal by quality coaches though.
And if you are stupid to discuss major crimes, you will get reported.
I work in a call center, and when we had long hold times, we would get calls where the customers were doing any number of things. Very common to hear snores, but occaisionally you would get other nocturnal activities. The worse was when they took the phone into the bathroom.
If it is a live recording maybe, but if it an automatic then no. Besides, the implied response is that if you do not consent then you will end the call.
Real hard to find when it is the I'm feeling lucky search. FragDolls are a bit overhyped in the gamer community. Take a group of quite attractive twenty-somethings taht play online games, and have a gamer geeks fantasy. Of course one look and thier website and thier email address "Fragdolls at ubisoft dot com" and it comes across as highly commercialized.
A clan is a group of online friends who game together. Some of the more notable clans play together in game tournaments. If you have ever seen someone's name with "{FD}" after the name, it is an indication that they are in a clan.
Many clans are based around FPS like CS, though MMORPG's have them too.
I am not talking about max resolution, which varies from 1280x1024 up to 1600x1200, but the highest resolution that will display clearly.
It is the rare 17" that can have a pixel density that is high enough to display 1280x1024 with no blurriness.
I have a Relisys 17" monitor that has a max resolution of 1600x1200, but can only display withour blurriness up 1152x864.
A lot of recent 17" monitors had only a max res of 1280x1024. Running at 1600x1200 is nice theory but only those with 21" displays are likely to do so.
Well most 17" crt monitors can only display well up to 1024x768. Most LCD panels top at 1280x1024. While some monitor can display higher resolution, for it ot have the pixel density to do it well, it is gonna cost a bundle.
Human skin has a threshold of greater than 15v so at 20v you will feel a shock. If you are not feeling the shock then it is not high enough to do damage.
If humidity is high enough, static discharge is virtually impossible.
A regular 6800 sometimes requires 2 molex connectors. Now building a SLI 6800 would need 4 molex connectors and probably need a 400w+ Power Supply just to provide the needed amps. That is a lot of power going to a single pcb card. It would be difficult to dissipate that much heat. Plus you might need special bracing just to support the card from the weight of hefty heatsinks you will need.
Get a rubber keyboard. The only local store that I see carry them is CompUSA, but lots of places online have them.
Fan filters would be a must. Probably a good idea to use duct tape to cover any other ventilation. Either an older computer or something cheap and low power like a Via C3.
that is not it. RTFA. If you open a file instead of save it, someone else can read the file from the temp $DIR. Pretty minor, but if you are concerned just save the file first, instead of use the open feature (which was aded because pople clamored for it even though it was considered a mild risk).
Dude, Read, at least one linked article says that they are all fixed in the latest version.
Now it is actually still a problem with the download spoofing, but it is more of an annoyance. With the way the download manger parses urls, it is possible to misrepresent where something is being downloaded. If you can't trust the site then don't download. There will be "..." in the middle of the url for the file you are downloading so it is not like the url spoofs in IE. So you have a warning something may be fishy.
That is not the problem, it is an issue with how files are stored in/tmp, and most likely specificaly how it passes thes files off to a third program. The work around would be to save the file instead of open.
But the first link shows that they are all fixed with the latest releases so not an issue.

Of course this is completely secure from malicious software on the host machine.
Why? Why should he have to go through the trouble of losing over half his crop because Monsanto release gengineered crops into the wild?

Weatherfox/ForecastFox works pretty well as an extension in Firefox.
