I code more efficiently if I can print out a copy of what I'm working on
I do this on occasion too, usually when I want to compare several similar chunks of code to extract common functionality. But when I do this, I want to take notes, next to the relevant code chunks, on the paper. Doesn't seem like this tech will work well in that scenario.
Find the network that is best in your area first, then pick a phone.
There is certainly merit to this suggestion, but also be aware that the phone hardware does have a significant effect on effective signal strength, and especially on the quality of the audio during a call. For me, at least one past phone upgrade provided an immediately noticeable improvement on signal strength due (I assume) to a more receptive antenna. Other phone upgrades have improved consistency and clarity of audio.
Virtual PC still runs without the processor extensions. But it's a complete OS in a sandbox window, just like before. You have to boot the virtual pc from scratch, including POST and OS initialization. Programs running inside Virtual PC appear inside the sandbox window.
To my understanding, the new XP Mode does not use the sandbox window; the virtualized program is in a top-level window that appears on the main taskbar. This mode is what requires the processor extensions.
Virtual PC and XP Mode are two separate downloads -- though I believe that Virtual PC is a prerequisite for the XP Mode package.
there has to be the star in the center, and there have to be bonus squares in certain spots
Not necessarily.
I'm not sure whether the rules explicitly mention a star; if they do, it serves only as a reference to the center square. You could play scrabble on a board with a different symbol, or no symbol at all. Its inclusion just makes it easier to determine where you can play the first word.
You could play a (boring) game of Scrabble on a board with no special squares -- the rules are the same, they just don't all apply to the board you're using. Literati on Yahoo Games uses a board with special squares in different spots./pedantic
Most likely they check on both ends. The client check allows the UI to update properly but the server check actually determines whether you can perform the action.
I liked the sfx on Two-face as well, and I especially liked the context for it - being burned down one side, rather than the cheesy acid-bath/file folder bit from Tommy Lee-Jones's Two-Face. But I found the lip movement very distracting: it was completely obvious that they filmed Eckhart straight and burned his lips off in post-production. They should have given him some sort of appliance to elongate his fricative consonants and make his good lips move as if his bad lips were actually burned out.
Insofar as when he said "you can only save one, make your choice" sure. But not insofar as when he switched the addresses of the warehouses where Dent and Dawes were being held. So I see no reason to believe that he meant it when he said "your detonator will blow up the other boat."
No, that was actually the Scarecrow. Batman unmasks him and it's Cillian Murphy underneath. My feeling is that they put Scarecrow in this movie to close up the loose end from Batman Begins where he rides off into the shadows, and to put him in Arkham for the next movie.
I'm hoping that in the next movie they take some cues from The Crow. Imagine if they used outtakes from this movie and dark shadowy sequences to keep Ledger's Joker around as a minor but ominous character.
They never learned that Joker gives bad info. My favorite part was that neither ferry exploded and you didn't get to see that the criminals' detonator actually triggered the bomb on the criminals' boat and the citizens' detonator triggered the bomb on the citizens' boat.
Lets see, my ISP offers 'free' email, pop3, imap, and webmail access. They offer 'free' access to a reasonable number of usenet groups, and offer a small and fairly limited but entirely usable web hosting package, with tools to make it easy to setup multiple small websites, upload and share photos, and so on.
Is it really 'free'? Of course not, its bundled in with my internet access so I'm paying for it.
Yeah my ISP provides all those things too. All the ISPs I've used have. My hosting provider provides them too. I get these services as part of a bundle I pay for. Well, two bundles, since the web hosting package offered by my ISP does not fulfill my needs.
But you know what? I don't use them. I haven't used my ISP's mail since I lived on campus back in college. Before I got there, I did not use my dialup ISP's email service. Two reasons: a) email address lock-in; b) the interface sucks.
Nowadays I've solved the lock-in problem by paying for a domain and the sucky interface problem by having my MX records send all mail to a gmail account, The free-to-join, invasive, ad-supported gmail service works way better than any webmail, IMAP, or POP3 client I've found.
Sounds a lot like email, and that's worked out just fine. Lots of people using it. In fact, I can send messages to...
True. And I use email as a default medium for communication too. I've sent maybe 5 messages with Facebook's message service - to people for whom I don't have email addresses. I've had one IM conversation with Facebook's IM interface - with someone whose IM ID I don't know.
I'm arguing against accepting facebook lock-in, becoming a product, and selling your information in exchange for a features.
Lock-in? Hardly. I'm also on MySpace. I also use email. I also use IM -- Pidgin, so I don't get locked in to a specific IM service. I also use usenet, web forums, feedback forms, web chat, on and on. Different tools for different tasks. Facebook excels at the task of clustering my friends and exposing information about them.
My information costs me nothing to give away. My money costs me money to give away. I'd rather pay for services using a currency that copies on write than one with a 1:1 opportunity cost. Not that I share everything, obviously. Some information will cost to give away - my SSN for example. But most everything about me - my relationship status, my mood, my hobbies - I gain value by giving this information freely.
Its a fallacy that the only way we can have services like social networking or instant messaging is via accepting ridiculous lock-in, and closed standards.
IM is a service that started with ridiculous lock-in and closed standards. I still used it then. Eventually a service will arise to tie together your Facebook and Myspace networks just like Trillian or Pidgin did for IM.

I would consider a social networking product if one existed where I was the customer not the product.
Sure, that's a nice idea. But of course then you're paying for it, and most likely so must all your friends and family if they want to share its best features with you. I think a social network built on that model would not grow large. It might fill a niche, but it would have nowhere near the utility of a free-to-join network that promotes sharing information.
What makes a social networking site really great can't happen unless there are a lot of people using it. The policies, shininess, and penetration of Facebook allow amazing results in short time frames. I've been on Facebook I think less than a year. I don't visit the site often, yet in that time I have regained contact with friends last seen during high school, played games with coworkers, learned about worthwhile charitable causes, hosted memes, and grown closer to people after learning about mutual interests that might not have come to light during normal conversation.
Consider an acquaintance of mine, a person I met several years ago. We've previously exchanged pleasantries and gotten along well at the odd party or the around the neighborhood where I work, but never held a conversation about any Deep Topics or connected much more broadly than Shared Entertainment Experiences and Goofy Jokes. About two weeks ago our Facebook networks connected. Tonight I received an invitation to a philosophical roundtable discussion at a library across town. The topic promises to present new ideas and address questions and gaps in my web of understanding. A doorway opens to become better friends with good people. What a serendipitous opportunity! Maybe I would have heard about this event through another medium in a Facebookless world. I doubt it. I don't check the library's events calendar.
I know that Facebook consumes as much information about me as they can stuff into their considerable data hole. So I make sure to only provide information that I don't mind sharing to all and sundry. I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know in meat space. I hesitate to register with apps because I know they get access to everything. I wish Facebook would uncheck their permission boxes by default. But every such border is a barrier to information flow, and networks like Facebook thrive and grow, both in size and utility, on the free flow of information.

No doubt, anyone seeking any kind of support has had representatives make wild claims about how long until something will happen.

If insurers were oracles...
The idea is to spread the risk around, hedge your bets.
Their solution is "boycott artists on major labels". Don't buy them new, don't buy them used, don't listen to them.
No pirating necessary.
On my last vacation, all of us, in our mid- to late-twenties, spent hours staring up at the night sky.
Pretty much until we were staring up at the morning sky...

Not to mention lips, teeth, tongues and nipples? And what's so perverse about the spleen or femur?
You're weird.
Did you seriously just self-censor 'piss'? Ye gods, what do you do when you encounter real swears?
This bit is funny though. Nice use of theme.
Not necessarily.

I really liked the homage near the end, where Batman actually saves the Joker and trusses him up rather than allowing him to fall to his death.
I liked the sfx on Two-face as well, and I especially liked the context for it - being burned down one side, rather than the cheesy acid-bath/file folder bit from Tommy Lee-Jones's Two-Face.

Also, what closed standards?
