I've set up blogs for a couple of people (including myself), and RSS feeds for providing other forms of information. One thing I've noticed was that once the RSS feed was created, there would be an increase in bandwith consumed, that was disporportionate to the increase in subscribers. Far too many people have their aggregators set to fetch far too often. The increase in web based aggregators has helped since then the feed is cached and reused by many people.
They should be more like appliances. Internally they should be self healing. And externally they should be more like my TiVO that has just sit there and run 24/7 for years. No Ionic Breeze necessary.
For 90+% of the population computers should be more like appliances, that just sit there and work. Not enough effort has been made by the hardware or software manufactures towards this end.
I don't think anyone should expect Git to go out and win the SCM war, and be the one tool to version them all. It is a specific tool, made for a specific group of people, who have very specific needs. Regardless of how one feels about McVoy, I think he got it right when he said that Linus solved the 5% of the problem he needed solving. So Git may get some traction with other highly distributed, patch heavy projects. In the mean time there are plenty of options for the 99% of the rest of us

USB devices are not peers. There is a USB host and a USB client. It takes far less hardware (thus cost) to be a USB client. This was part of it's advantage over firewire in getting adopted (lower cost and hardware complexity). As far as I know the PSP can only act as a USB client. Thus it cannot use arbitrary USB peripherals.

but this is just an IRC proxy page. It is neat and cool, but it is no different than any other page I might visit via the browser redirect trick. It would be much more exciting if someone had actually written an IRC client that ran on the PSP
Yes and it is annoying and tedious every single year. And my point is just as valid every year as well. I have this vague hope that one year the powers that be will figure this out. They will pepper a day of legitimate news with one or two AF posts that are genuinely funny.

Because the only way you can innovate and try and make better is by getting out there and trying risky things and learning from your mistakes. I applaud any company willing go out and try these things.
I know a couple of pro (and semi-pro) photographers, and most of them own a 300D (the Digital Rebel) as well. Why? For backup, or to have a cheaper camera to go out with. The 300D is attractive for this because it is compatible with their L-Series lenses.
I decided to get a 300D on their reccomendation when I decided to get more serious about photography. It was the cheapest, easist way to get into the Canon lens system.
But SQL is SQL and apart form the usual database specific extensions, it is standard. So applications built on top of SQL compliant database engines should port with ease.
Every RDBMS out there has their own extentions to the SQL language, and none of them implement the entire SQL-99 spec. So every system is both a subset and a superset of the standard. Robust dtatabase applications end up tailoring their SQL to the paticular database system they are using, and porting away can be a non-trivial task.
But not all forms of music are cundusive to live performance. Dance music, for example, is really intended to be played in clubs, so pay-by-live-performance may not work for them.
batteries are a known quantum in the world of travel security. scanners are designed to know what they are and how they're used.
contrary to popular belief, batteries do not look like explosive devices.
No but the CostCo tube of AAA is was carrying did look enough like a clip that my luggage had to be opened and searched when I was travening back from the Philippines...
Actually I think they average person's recollection of Napster was "that had something to do with music, right?" Which is why Roxio bought the name. If you are going to launch a music service then coming out of the gate with a name that people will recognise is a good plan.
I've owned both Palms and PocketPCs. I can say that both platforms are YMMV. I've had to reset my Palm far more than I ever have had to do with my PocketPC.
I think it's great that that Sprint and AT&T are allowing any developer to provide content, but it's not always the case. In the work I'm doing I have to navigate a maze of different options depanding if the carrier is a Walled Garden or not.
The issue here may be if the prices were general knowlege or not. If they were leaked prior to publication, then that might fall under the relm of copyright violation.
If the prices were published, then I have trouble seeing how it could constitute a violation
The chips placed in pets do not have GPS. They are passive transmitters that use the energy from the reader to broadcast back a simple ID. The range of the largest reader we have at the shelter I volunteer at is less than a foot.
That being caid chipping your pets is a "Good Thing" and is one of the most effective things you can do to help ensure you will recover your pet if it gets lost.

And as in TFA, you'll buy it legally from here on out?

What do you mean? It has a 66Mhz ARM9 and a 33MHz ARM7. It has 4 Meg of RAM. That should be more than enough to host a browser.

True however framing bits are still required by most.
Actually you need to divide by 10 bits not 8. You still need the start and stop framing bits. So:
1,000,000 / 10 = 100,000
100,000/1024 = 97.65
Still not bad...

Thats why it has a SD slot. Add as much storage as you like.
it will count as 4 4x burners...

Yeah, but unless you've got a really long phone cord you can't use your ISP while sitting in trafffic, etc...
