True. But a few pencils and a deck of index cards is only a few bucks. If the Palm is worth that difference, then great. But if not, then go with the simple solution.
Only problem is that it looks like PalmOS/Garnet is basically EOL. And it's also not a sure thing that Palm will be coming out with any new PDA-sized computers (like the TX) with an updated OS, but will either just keep making expensive smartphones, or weird crap like the Foleo.
Youtube/Google doesn't take ownership of it, but the TOS do say that by uploading you are giving them permission to use your video for their own purposes -- e.g. putting it in a compilation. Don't know if they can relicense it to VH1 for their show though, haven't figured that out from the language yet.
Wait, is anyone actually planning on trying to implement this thing other than MS?
The entire point is so that MS can put the words "standard file format" and "XML" in the list of features, and help sell to governments and the like. This "standardization" has no other purpose, it's just a big distraction.
Nobody uses satellite broadband because it's not that much faster than cable, but costs significantly more (both upfront and monthly). And the latency and upstream bandwidth suck.
But the wonderful thing about him is that, as a libertarian, he believes that the federal government has no role in deciding these issues. Except for, like,.. abortion. Oh well, I still haven't decided if he pushes that so as to be more attractive to the socially conservative Republican base or if it's a really important issue to him.
You can approach about a million by retirement age if you can save a few thousand every month at about a 6% savings interest rate. That's pretty easy. You can have several million by saving more or waiting longer or getting a better return somewhere other than a bank account.
UPnP kind of sucks anyway. Maybe this will get people to move to MDNS-SD, which is simple, straightforward, has several implementations (both open source and not).
Armies are for killing the enemy, not for making new friends, not for keeping peace. If only we were able to actually identify, find, and isolate this enemy... That's the problem.
Too bad you can't recall or revoke an SSN and get another one. If we're going to have a federal ID number, might as well replace this poor de facto key with a real system that allows the issuing agency to record a lost number as invalid, and regenerate you a new one from some privately held source key (that's actually kept secure).
In theory you're correct, we can use GM to make better crop organisms. But Mosanto et al aren't selling seeds based on the inherant quality of the crop (the output), instead they're one component in a complete Mosanto system. You buy pesticide-resistant GM seeds so you can spray Mosanto's pesticide on them. Same business strategy as Microsoft, more or less...
And under current agricultural practices, farmers need to do this kind of thing to compete.
If you use a water sprayer to irrigate your land, is it your responsibility to make sure the water doesn't go onto my land ? Yes, actually, if that water is causing me significant harm (i.e. is full of chemicals or waste).
That sort of sounds like generally accepted software engineering best practices. But that's just in general, and it's not really how Linux works. Linux would suffer if they tried to suddenly and arbitrarily impose such practices that conflict with current practices.
It's true that 802.11 connections are unreliable, yet people often try to treat them like they are with complex, coupled network services. Unfortunately, there isn't any other wireless standard that's as commonplace and cheap and relatively easy to set up as 802.11 yet.
"...an ex-husband who lied about a missing car that he moved [1] to tried to make it less likely to be found, the evidence of a "washed" [2] crime scene in the car, and evidence of both his and his ex-wife's blood mixed together at his house."
Based on the article, those are both speculations that you filled in.

"So how would you design a seamless interface between sensors and actuators to the high-level code?"
That's probably the easiest problem you will have in the whole project. Why are you asking about it?
This is also Wal-Mart's explicit policy (if you look around the store you should find it posted somewhere). Probably plenty of other large stores too.
I have no idea if it's legal or not.

Get a Palm TX.

Microsoft Research has been working on graphics for a long time... and folks who work there have made some key contributions to the field.

I always use CSS files by reference when the stylesheet is shared by multiple pages. You know, caching and stuff...

This post has nothing to do with GCC and GPLv3, it's pretty much off topic. Why has it been moderated up?
Well, if everyone else collected stamps, but you didn't, then you might feel the need to defend your decision when challenged.
Well, if everyone else collected stamps, but you didn't they'd probably coin a word to describe you.
That sort of sounds like generally accepted software engineering best practices. But that's just in general, and it's not really how Linux works. Linux would suffer if they tried to suddenly and arbitrarily impose such practices that conflict with current practices.
Anyway there is at least one book about Linux device drivers: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdrive3

That's a rather fascist attitude.
