I have a nervous disposition to clocks (usually because I get up late). I like mobile phone masts, but hate clocks. they are an eyesore, and raise my stress levels and body temperature. As I am a member of this minority group I feel that our needs are not being met. This blatent discrimination will be taken up with the european court of human rights very shortly.
We can't predict the weather tomorrow afternoon, but we know what's going to happen in 20 billion years. Tell me another one.
I live in England. Without going to the window I can tell you its raining now, it was raining yesterday, it will be raining tommorow, and it will be raining when the big crunch comes.
Plus, I've seen too much media coverage about Russian technology in action. Think submarines, chernobyls, satellites, space stations, political ideologies.
It pains me, chernobyl, a bit like 3 mile island really. space station? Lasted way beyond its original life span, certainly longer then skylab. satelites? Happens all the time. Didnt Arriane explode on lift off once? Political ideologies? I'm not a fan of corporate "democracy" either to be honest. Oh, 1986 had that little Challanger thing. If we are talking space based accidents that kind of trumps anything from russia in the last 20 years.
IMO the franchise has been coasting on nostalgia for years, god only knows how long it will last, though.
I stopped downloading enterprise episodes a few months ago. Still watch stargate sg1, and have all the dvd's, but trek does seem to be slowing down even for a big fan (not nerdy gimp) like myself.
heres my http bot in "isorox language" 1) read get line into A 2) int b = sum of ascii code of each character in A 3) if (b % 2) output "Hello, World!" 4) else output "Goodbye, Cruel World!"
OK, its a crap bot, but does this mean that slashdot is now in breach of the patent?
GPS doesn't work indoors and the most common place to lose a child is a large department store or mall. So, it doesn't do you any good there.
However you know they are confined to the mall (which empties and closes at night), otherwise you get a signal.
Finally, battery life. How long will this thing run before recharges? If it doesn't last long then you can just wrap some tinfoil around the thing to block the GPS signal and wait for the battery to die.
Howabout the same technology that works your watch from arm movement/heat/electricity or however.

My first time I got stumped. Everything looked fine, but the monitor wouldnt work. Unplugged all the cards and everything.
Turned out the CMOS clear jumper (usually near the battery), was set to clear. Took me an hour to figure that one out.

And that it doesn't require rebooting the machine.
You're saying you need to reboot with linux, but you dont need to reboot with windows??
