I wouldn't want someone to be watching me in real-time, but I'd be ok with a snapshot of my property every few years - especially given the potential advantages.
What about sites that host browser extensions/add-ons/plug-ins? Opera, Chrome and Firefox all have extensions that will do this right from the YouTube page with a single click.
We seem to be going in circles with music. Own a phonograph, stream from radio, own an 8 track/cassette/CD, stream from TV (MTV or countless other music channels), own mp3's, stream from the Net
Given a modest botnet of around 3000 hosts, this could be cracked in about a day.
However, note that between the 21 PCs, there were 252 cores - an average of 12 cores per PC, so these desktop PCs were at least reasonably high-end even if still consumer technology.
I took microbiology as an elective in college, probably one of the more fun courses I took outside of my major. Nothing says fun like making E coli change color or using bacteria to draw pictures in petri dishes. The fact that it was an elective took a bit of the stress off - there's no doubt I had more fun than anyone else in the class (I was the only one there who didn't require it, the rest were bio majors. I was also one of only two A's in the class of ~40 students).
In other news, cancer has decided that the enemy of its enemy is its friend and has thus teamed up with FunnyJunk. The resulting entity has not yet been named, but FunCancer is currently favored.
Was replacing them every four years, as per insurance eligibility. Now that insurance no longer covers them, going to try to stretch them to six years. Over time, there's degradation in both quality and volume in spite of cleaning them, not to mention the plastic/rubber components tend to get brittle over time (think of all the skin oil and sweat that will get on them over the course of several summers)
1) I never said the summary was a good comparison 2) The summary's use of those devices was for the point that they get cheaper over time. My pointing out the smartphone was a bad example was pointed entirely at the battery usage side of things. The two examples were comparing completely different things.
I'm in the oft-overlooked group of people who are deaf enough that hearing aids substantially improve my quality of life, but not so deaf that I can't function at all without them. I'd kill for a sub-$1000 pair of hearing aids.... even if they weren't as high of a quality. If anything, they'd make great backups to my current ones. I've had issues with every pair of hearing aids I've owned in the past 19 years that required anywhere from 3 days to two weeks to send to the factory to service. It'd be a great improvement to have an extra "cheap" pair to use in the meantime.
The batteries are relatively cheap. I spend less than $50 a year on batteries (L and R ears) and average 50 hours a week wearing them (granted, much less than most people). I spend more on flashlight batteries than on hearing aid batteries. My hearing aids even have wireless capabilities, so if I push a button on one, they both change programs.
A cell phone (especially a smartphone) is a pretty crappy comparison because it uses a ton more power for its size/weight than a hearing aid. Heat dissipation really isn't a problem with a hearing aid because the power demand for something that simple is so low anyway.
My hearing aids were covered by my father's insurance (he works for the state, so great insurance) until I turned 21. Now I'm trying to figure out how to pay for my next pair because none of my employers since then have even had partial coverage for hearing aids. It's one of the frustrating gaps in most employer-offered insurances. My current pair were $4000, which includes cleaning every six months (not sure for how many years).
I will say that hearing aid technology has improved at an impressive rate over the past 19 years that I've been wearing them, and costs of a low to mid-end hearing aid is about the same as it was in 1994 when I got my first pair, but inflation has gone up quite a bit since then - not to mention they're more comfortable and durable than ever.
What he's saying is that if the app is built for 2.2 or later, the vendor may still market it in the store as compatible with all versions. So it will still show up and allow you to purchase/download it even if you're running 2.1. It's nothing to do with the API, it's all about vendors not taking advantage of the market's ability to not sell to incompatible OS versions.
I used the word foreign TLDs because most people are familiar with their own country's TLD... so I was singling out country-specific TLDs that exclude your own country. And what do we generally call countries other than our own? That's right, foreign. The examples I gave (Canada, Australia, Poland, Russia and China) will generally include at least four, if not five, foreign countries for almost everybody reading the post.
Most of the browsers allow searching in the address bar. I prefer Opera's approach (which may be used by others now) in which it assumes anything in a dns format is a URL. So if you put "apple.com" it will take you to apple. If you want to search something that happens to be in dns format, then you have to put g before it (or whatever other shortcut you may use for a search provider.... g will do a Google search. This way "g vb.net" will not try to take you to a website called vb.net but instead will search for it. I find it preferable to the alternative of having two separate bars for addresses and searches.
That aside, the people I was referring to put the URL in the search box on Google's main page, not in the browser's search box. Drives me crazy every time my mother does it.
The way I understand it is that Torvalds came up with the kernel (which is what's being recognized here), but RMS created many of the other tools that turn Linux from a kernel into a full fledged operating system. Without both of them, Linux probably wouldn't have been successful.
Removing TLDs would create more problems - aside from the fact that they're all being used. If you only have three TLDs, then you'll start having to remember names like applenonottheiosguystherecordlabel.com or app-l3.com. That's going to become a lot harder to remember than is it www.apple.com or apple.com when most sites will allow you to put in either of them. There's a limited number of second level domains available for any TLD before you start having to use very long strings of gibberish, which defeats one of the main purposes of DNS - being human readable.
I haven't supported any iOS devices in the past 7 months, but before that I was supporting around 30 iPhones and iPads. iOS updates frequently broke apps or even OS functions like 3G and wifi.
I count about 305 on Schindler's list, including a couple of eastern characters. All of them are donuts.co email addresses, so it looks like one of the previous posters may be on to something with him simply representing a large number of companies.

As a press release its almost the perfect opposite of science.
So, what you're saying is that Fujitsu used..... magic!

Given the choice between having a proprietary option and having no options, I'll take the option to have proprietary software available every time.

Considering WWF rebranded to WWE about 7 years ago, I don't think that will be a problem. Although panda wrestling would be awesome.
