Case and Dock incompatibility -- solution

iPad Review

· Score: 1
As some of you know you can't put the iPad on its Dock if it's in its protective case, which sucks, especially if the salesperson at the Apple Store told you the exact opposite.
Do you know of any hotel that DOESN'T have a telephone, and if so, how would we call them to make a reservation ?
There are sometimes instances where some fields MUST be filled in, otherwise the whole record becomes worthless.
A dummy phone number won't let you make a reservation. Actually, a blank field indicates that a record is incomplete. A field containing garbage, is also incomplete, except you cant detect it programmatically, at least not as easily as looking for blank fields.
Better than the Chevy 2.8L transverse V6 I suppose. The section of the shop manual for replacing spark plugs starts with: "Unbolt the dogbone and engine mounts and rotate the engine forward". Yes, to replace the sparkplugs you're supposed to unbolt the fucking engine from the car.
Sounds like a well designed vehicle. That's that "Chevy" company that you're talking about? I'd be interested in investing in it.
> Now, you can get feeds for any of Google's news areas...
Actually, that's not true. Some localized content isn't available, such as the Canadian French version, which uses different news sources as the US english version.
I'm guessing that the localized versions are running on a different set of servers and they just haven't been updated yet with the new back end software.
There is enough food for everyone. The problem is not the size of the turkey.
The problem is that as long as you subsidize farmers to make too many turkeys and then dump them on the international markets, third world farmers won't be able to compete with these prices.
You'll just end up with a bunch of farmers making too much food, a good portion of it being wasted, and a good portion of earth's population not being able to compete with them.
It's called protectionism and it's what's preventing the world from being fed properly.
And replace the word turkey in what I said with wheat and corn.
Wouldn't all the calcium spread on Quebec roads in the winter damage the whell-motor? Anybody who's seen the undercarriage of a five year old car in Quebec will immediately understand my question.
Let's hope all the critical parts are made of corrosion-free materials. Including the fasteners.
How does one change a flat tire on the wheel-motor? Seems the whell would be pretty heavy?
Also, it seems a bad idea to put all the critical drivetrain in the wheel while all the streets of Montreal (where the head office of Hydro-Quebec resides) are filled with potholes.
IMHO, these problems are more fundamental than the power source and the aesthetics of the vehicle.
Also, aren't large Li-Ion batteries dangerous, as they might explode if overheated? A cell phone battery is quite small, but for a car, that would be very dangerous, no?
My Virtual Model Inc. has set the standard for online apparel shopping. Two core technologies - the My Virtual Model(TM) Dressing Room and My Virtual Model(TM) Fit - enable consumers to 'try on' clothes on the Internet. 2002 saw the introduction of a third product, My Virtual Model(TM) Imail. This innovative marketing tool offers a unique, fun and simple interactive My Virtual Model(TM) Dressing Room integrated in an e-mail.
For merchants, deploying My Virtual Model(TM) technology improves bottom-line profitability by increasing revenues while cutting costs. Shoppers using My Virtual Model(TM) solutions spend more, buy more and return far fewer items - resulting directly in reduced shipping and handling costs.
My Virtual Model Inc. was co-founded by Louise Guay, Ph.D., and Jean-Francois St-Arnaud. In 1990, the two entrepreneurs joined forces to build one of Canada's leading multimedia agencies, Public Technologies Multimedia Inc. (PTM). The first release of My Virtual Model(TM) technology in 1997 was a major breakthrough in online customer service. In 2000, PTM became My Virtual Model Inc., in recognition of the company's focus on the online apparel shopping market.
Or, while we're at it, that "French" toast was invented by a Mr. French of Albany NY.
I seriously doubt that an american invented roasting a piece of bread over fire. That was invented waaaaaaaaay before. Oh wait, you're right, I just checked and mr. French does hold a patent on that..
Putting several hundred megs of video online and then posting it on slashdot has never been a good idea.
Well, its a better idea than spending your tuition money on 4000 rubber balls.
A while back, in the days of the first accelerated video cards, I do recall a manufacturer having specific code in the accelerator to outperform the competition in very precise tests (i.e. blit a precice character string on the screen) whereas you printed another string, results were different, much slower. The card was designed specifically to achieve very high performances (for the time) when running a specific benchmark.
Now, I don't remember the manufacturer nor the model, nor the benchmark.
I'm pretty sure review units are tested more thouroughly than regular off the shelf units. I'd be surprised if the defect % would be the same...
The protocols used on the web were not designed to deal with hordes of incomptetent and/or malicious users. They were designed for collaboration. It's clear that the net is getting worst and worst every day. I say it's time for new protocols:
The most urgent, IMHO, are e-mail and usenet with built-in encryption and authentication.
Some areas of the net could remain gray areas, to preserve certain anarchic qualities that we appreciate about the net, but they should be bandwidth limited to preserve quality of service for the new better protocols.
One wonders what percentage of backbone bandwidth is gobbled up by spam, advertising, worms and other unsollicited traffic. Anybody have a figure on this? If I''d have to guess, I'd go with a 30 to 50% crap factor (excluding this post)
Ok, I won't. I didn't see that miniseries, although I believe it's about Arrow Aerospace. Anyways, it's beside the point.
You don't get it. Do you realize that every dollar that you put in military spendings is actually a subsidy for american jobs? You build your own planes. You build your own tanks as well as your own missiles and guns, you export these same weapons everywhere in the world: IRAQ, IRAN, Israel, many african countries, etc. Oh yeah, we buy some of those too. That money stays in the US. If you go out and spend it on other shit like fuel from the middle-east for your SUV (money which ultimately goes to saoudian terrorists), well that's your problem.
Fact of the matter is that any given government decides how to spend its money. If you decide to spend it on weapons, that's your choice. By the way, your army, in terms of power, is as big as all the other armies of the world. Isn't that overkill?
All I'm saying is that the US is going to have tough times in the next few decades. Do the calculations, I'm not even sure you can affort to pay the interest on it. This year's deficit is mainly due to the war in Iraq. Now, you chose to go there without the rest of the world, you fu*ked up and cleaning that mess up is going to be very costly. Don't tell me that was necessary, Iraq clearly never had WoMD. Hell, they can't even reach Israel and it's pretty obvious the would have did it if they could have (they failed miserably).
I have no problem with my parliment. You should be worried about yours though.

2012? I'd say she'd have better luck trying out for 90210.
Older employees are more likely to forget their passwords, hence locking themselves out of the network.

They have to figure out how to make an closed environment that can sustain three adults eating chichen vindaloo for 10 days.

A Montreal based company has been doing this for years.

And the Michael Jackson story is important because...
Important: IRAQ blunder, Crumbling economy, Civil rights and liberties, China.
Not important: MJ, vi vs emacs.
Entertaining, hopefully: SWIII.
When it was first thought of, the theory of relativity was just a 'crazy idea'.
So was the Segway.
