ITMs is not the same price as CD's its a different unit. A CD contains multiple songs. If you count the total it would be same price as CD. You cant do that to a Movie. That would work for DVD's with full seasons of a TV programme maybe. Where you can download one episode at the fraction of the cost of the entire DVD. But it cant be done to movies.
setup an asterisk@home box at home. Let her install a softphone instead of skype. you can do all sorts of funky routing you want on ur home gateway and She can call whoever she wants using your landline as a gateway.
even that wouldnt work..u could just snip the coil and tap into it...the coil is the last place the signal has to be before it becomes sound. And no way u can do anything to it without making it play noise.
Looks like we are for ever indebted to Oliver Lodge for this.
This is incorrect. You can get a prepaid sim without proof of residence or any such thing. You just need to register it in your name within 10 days with the service provider for which you have to provide an ID (for sake of law enforcement they claim) or they will de-activate it.
Well the Issue is Yahoo and MSN have already announced that they would be makking interoprability between each other soon. So if one of them crosses over the other one will too. However if the whole IM world comes together they would have to conform on features or u could not use some features with others. I mean things like smileys and animated messages (audibles in yahoo, other things in other clients) That would still make people stick to other clients. If it comes to any client signing onto any network..Imagine signing onto gtalk with a Y! client. That would certainly be the day
Thats not a big problem at all...u just need 2 or 3 different sourses...combine the feeds using a noise canceling averaging algorithm and u can easliy remove the markings and get a clean print.
another option is to use the same amount of opaqueness and put a block covering up the text making it just a rectangular block. No need for 2 feeds in this one...just a good algo...
Besides people really dont mind having blocked out patches on video so much... a lot of people download even telesync versions of movies which are missing parts of the screen...
Teachers even in college tend to print you the electronic assignment submissions in order to grade and comment them and to have something to return to the students. So this point is moot.
This should be an interesting experiment. I have had computers for years and I use them extensively to learn things but I have found that they are no match for good old books. Books are so much convenient to use. I think it is unwise to completely eliminate the books from clasrooms. It would be great to augment the books with online resources. But replacing them completely seems to be a dumb move.
...when we invent replicators and then we reach the state where the ammasing of wealth is no more the driving force. Everyone will work to better themselves and mankind... and then we will go where no one has gone before:D (sorry i thot everyone could use a little star trek)
I bet thats not the standard Gnome Interface which comes out of the box and you had to take some efforts to set it up that way. U can change windows too to such a simpler interface if u invest the time to do all the things required for it.
I mean yeah its cool to blog and be heard...But how is this different from years ago when everyone had their own website on geocities and said things there???
Yes its easy and more accessible and everyone's doing it...but its basically still the same old thing...
Say someone downloads 25 songs this month. And you have the whim to listen to one more. I don't think they would want to pay Rhapsody for it. You will end up going to the P2P where its free all the time. Don't these people get it...Everything for free != 25 for free...
A drop in CS Majors does not necessarily mean there will be a drop in the supply of IT professionals. Although I am a CS Major a lot of IT professionals i know are not. They are people who despite being in a variety of majors have ended up being IT professionals.
Also if you ask any of your out sourced IT professionals (the consultants from INDIA etc) most of them are not CS majors. Most were some engineering (other than cs) majors who couldn't find employment in their own majors or were simply wanted to make more money and were trained by their company as IT ppl.
Be informed my friend... when i say chemicals they are not active chemicals... and for your kind information everything in the medicine world comes from some form of chemicals. for more info read this
And as for me still carrying my (two year old)inhaler...it does not expire for another 3 years... and you only know the value of such things when u suffer from chronic illness.
enough people in the world already believe in rubbish like psychics, spirits, acupuncture, homeopathy and so on, is this just going to make the situation worse?
Homeopathy is not a blind belief. It is a science as much as as aluopathic medicine is. Homeopathy uses symptoms even subtle ones to diagnose diseases (much like Alopathy or regular medicine). And the medicines given are not some voodo but infact chemicals and extracts of plants and animals (in essence chemicals). The medicine is usually administered either as liquid or as sugar pills soaked in the liquid.
Homeopathy has been used in may parts of the world as alternative medicine.
Only thing about homeopathy is that it takes an extended period of time for it to heal than a quick fix which antibiotics give you. But the homeopathic healing is much more durable and can cure chronic troubles.
I personally have taken homeopathic medicine for my asthama and even though i carry my inhaler with me i havn't had to use it in the last 2 years.

I have done this with T-mobile successfully on more than one occasion. So keep ur Cingular crap to urself.
