Linus is 40, In ohter words, in the first 20 year of his life mobile phones only lived as very bulky carphones, and for a long time after that the calling cost were quite pricy. Only the last 10 year or so mobiles phones became main-stream. Some people still live with the believe you have to be reachable all the time. This may be hard to grasp for generation now that grew up with mobile phones.
SUpposed you got a mail from bill gates asking for a phone from your company because your phone factory has made a phone running windows mobile on it. What would you do?
== PS, Google is a member of the linux foundation which is the current employer of linus. So in a way google already paid for the phone.
woudl the online version of vegas look like a one big Amusement park how vegas looks on the outside, where people loose a lot of money or like a lot of web 1.0 pages where it is all bout blinking lights, different colors and greens.
"Not in the US. And the banks like it that way, so it will never change."
Banks are loosing a lot of goodwill recently because of some economic problems that are caused by banks risctaking. Changes in the rules might become possible because of this. In the EU transfers between EU countries there are rules about banking fees (transfer are essentially free) after banks failed to regulate it themself. See Wire Transfer
This is not really surprising if you are aware what a real coma is. There is a lot of states between fully consciousness and complete unconsciousness. In movies, and in soaps you switch between those states in a surprise wake-up. In reality this is much more complex.
Saying that it is a feature, not a bug, still makes it unexpected behavior. And yes, the prius still uses a very old Cruise control design, gving no feedback until you feel teh acceleration. (at least in the Prius 2008, not sure about the 2010 executive model)
He did say (in my link) he could break. But from experience on a 2008 prius i can say that cruiscrontrol can seem to act strange because it gives no feedback until you feel it accelerates. I liked the cruise control on a renault more: it displays the speed you set into cruise control to and gave feedback more feedback. (And it has speed limiter option, useful to protect against 4 km/u too fast speeding tickicts)
By the way, the prius 2010 executive/tech (most expenisve model) has a rader controlled cruise control to match the speed of car in front of you. I wonder if this has something to do with it.
woz said he could reproduce safely.. I bet it is the same isssue as : This poster op
"I can nudge my cruise control speed lever and my speed barely goes up, say from 80 to 81.I nudge at again and again, up to 83. Then I nudge it again and the car takes off, no speed limit. Nudging the cruise speed control lever down has no effect until I've done it about 10 times or more. By then my Prius is doing 97. It's scary because it's so wrong and so out of your normal control. I tested this over and over the night I observed it."
If you use windows 16 bit code is like using linux 2.0 or 0.99 binaries. There could be bugs there,but 16 bit code is supposed to be froma an era you had fulle control over the hardware anyway.
VGA was not that holy ever. It has its share of problems too. -Took a long way to standardize supported resolutions.. above 640x480. -DCC (autodetect display capabilities) took even long.
In the netherlands you move arround fastest in a city on a bike. But it better be an old bike, it will be stolen someday. (~750.000 stolen bikes per year, on 15 million people).
Yes it is, but key management and trust is part of the solution and not very simple. You need some kind of authority to centrally manage the keys. improper key management will only give a false sense of security.
DRM is the real problem. A book can be read with scanners. To a PC you can connect special braille readers. TO a kindle you can connect notthing by the DRM design.
The wii has 512 Mb of flash internal. You can put data on a SD, but it will first be copied to the internal memory.
internet channel is 222blocks x 128k = 28MB. There are romours that nintento put a cap of 40MByte on downloadable games. You can seay create a player in that space.
The main reason for this is the market. You cannot put a link in a store to buy, you want it in a box. It is however possible to install a channal from a disk (e.g. mario kart), but this obvious was a step too much for the people who thought this up.
xray != wifi. xray is ionizing radiation. wifi not. Completely wrong anology. I am not saying microware radion is harmless, just that the effect of xray can and should not be compared to microwave radiation (wifi).
Given enough microwave radiation you can cook someone to death, however this is easier if you cut him up before to fit him in the microwave oven.
It is not a technical problem. There are already diesel cars with a start/stop mechanism. There are small cars with small diesel engines. The real problem is price. Diesel engines are a little bit more expensive. Hybrid components make it even more expensive. Nothing a little bit of subsidy can not solve.
That and the fact that most producers are trying to catch up to Toyota that already is in its third generation of hybrid cars.
to be more exact. 19 millions of an idea. The question is if larry will buy an other 200 million yacht or buy the top 20 postgres dev to let them make the next generation of database.
If the password matching was done in hardware it would have been visible that the disk was tampered with. You would have to replace the program that is in dedicated hardware to send the "open" key to the disk. That is much harder to do, even if it had the same vulnerability.
FIPS-140 2 does not require much resitance to hardware tampering, only that it is visible that it is tampered with. But then how many people loop up the "140-2" spec (even if it is in a link in the article) and just think it is ok to trust a laboratory. I cannot even find out what labatory F*cked up by looking at the sandisk web.
Since these AV monopolies are untrustworthy, why would they not have proactively created these "scan and burn" sites? Best to to gather signatures is to get them directly from the source in these scan services.
If a write fails you are lucky if you get a popup. It can happen that you just get a
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\D"in the event log but never get a popup. Data will be lost, and even the entire disk might be corrupted.
Als NTFS often fails the "unplug this device"because certain unplug calls are not implmented for NTFS under XP.
However, since you need large file support NTFS is still the best option if you need to go cross platform. And the disk repair software is most advanced on windows anyway, just because it is most used. So even if windows cannot repeair the disk with chkdsk (happened to me), tools like getdataback will still be able to retreive most data from it.

Anyway, better diagnosis is needed to prevent accidents like Brain scan finds man was not in a coma--23 years later and other possible improvements in brain damage treatment.

Normally they would use salt for roads. Salt cannot be removed either by filtration. I think ammonia get filtered by active coal, but salt not?
anyway, the beer they make will taste worse with fertilizer thatn with salt.

Statistics...
All locks just provide a delay for someone stealing. a 40 euro lock on a 100 euro bike is quite effective.
But on a 1000 euro electric bike.... well like a said, you cannot park it on the street.
Or at least such a cannon would give a unexpected meaning to the saying "if it is too loud you are too old". You might even stop aging.

Besides that , what is wrong with super 8 film?

PS "Yes but" is the same as "no unless"
Please stop walking around. Messing with the earth rotation is really not a smart idea. ;)

The LA Times report also claims that the marketing costs of Modern Warfare 2 hit close to $200 million - a staggering figure for a video game marketing campaign.
Now choose your professions. Marketing of coding. ;)
They will be there
