I sat in an 'interactive' classroom for five year olds. Basically a 'smartboard' which was a projector and touchscreen.
When it was 'story time', the teacher presented the story similarly to any Powerpoint presentation. Except after every page, rather than moving on, the children would have to approach the board and 'find' various elements, singing birds, growing flowers etc.
I was thinking that the kids in China could have read six books in the time it took this class to get through one. It was totally unclear what value the technology added, besides briefly wowing parents who grew up with chalkboards (and will be able to spell better than most of these kids, thanks again to technology).
In Australia, a set of new maps for most consumer GPS units is more than the cost of a (cheap) new unit. If you have a dash-mounted system, forget it.
I don't know if that's a global issue or the 'Australia tax', but I'll support any system which is up to date and doesn't cost me a stupid amount of money to remain current.
Whilst I bow in front of your 31337 hax0r skillz, you are wrong about locks.
BAD locks (cheap, easily defeated) are only good to keep honest people out. That does not mean all locks are easily defeated. ANY system badly implemented would suck. I would happily race a well hardened Windows system against a badly installed *nix setup (albeit the latter is probably a bit safer straight out of the box).
The market for stolen phones could be destroyed immediately if carriers blacklisted ESNs and IMEI numbers (the unique serial number embedded in GSM phones).
But they won't, as they make money regardless of who is holding the phone.
These blacklists could be international just as easily as any other roaming agreement.
The bill, dubbed the Genetic Information Privacy Act, would require an individual's written consent for the collection, analysis, retention, and sharing of his or her genetic information
Apple do the same shit. And because it's hard to remember the newest incarnation of the password, I end up resetting it which contributes further to the problem.
Good day and compliments. This post will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine the future and continued existence of the entire members of my family.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, the wife of the late head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria who died on the 8th of June 1998.
I have developed an amazing password storage website and wish to bestow it upon you.
I love having the password on my monitor. However I didn't like the appearance of all those Post-it notes stuck to it. So instead I changed all my passwords to "Samsung".

Yep. Well.. Not a lot of sympathy for French people either, so it's all good...
Why, this could be bigger than the Dvorak keyboard!
Yeah. Because it's hard to watch the video, read the text and write comments all at the same time...
They are *asking* you to 'recycle' them. Not telling you.
Take 'em home.
Turn off the wireless (engage airport mode).
Yes, I know the jury is still out, but if you're kid's playing with your phone you ain't receiving emails or calls anyway.
Needs a donut fryer.

So there may be hope for the Occupy movement after all!
It can also mean "a computer under the developer's bed".
Just as well he doesn't play Rugby!
Also, it's his "arse" that you will be suing.

Second-hand does not mean stolen.
Why would the Israeli army be so against D&D? They claim that those who participate in the game, "are detached from reality and susceptible to influence."
If a person admits to playing D&D to the army they are automatically placed in low security clearance and are sent to a psychologist

Can't wait to see Altavista's entry into the mobile browser market.
Once upon a time someone would have had to walk across the hospital room to pull the plug. Now....

This just made sex a whole lot more complicated.
I look forward to the royalty cheques, but where have you used it?

Since when is coprophage rare? This is the Internet.
Correct.
This guy is such a douchebag and I can't wait until he gets an MRI.
No real surprise. He recommends it because he designed it.
