8) If your Application is determined (for any reason or no reason at all, in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for Amazon Web Services, we may suspend your access to Amazon Web Services or terminate this Agreement at any time, without notice.
I am not sure I see the point of using a storage service that has the right to unilaterally terminate my agreement and thus, presumably, destroy anything I have stored.
The parent's point was that any given application cannot take advantage of the multiple CPU's. It is a given that if you are running mulitple applications, each of these would take advantage of each CPU.
What is the point of Virtualisation?
In fact, if you need Virtualisation to make use of mutliple CPU's/cores are you not loosing a tangible chunk of performance (not to mention a significant chunk of memory) running multiple OS instances?
You are correct that Canada has a tax on _AUDIO_ CD-R media. It is for this reason that said media is either not availlable or shelfware while we happilly buy non-audio CD-R media which, coincidentally, works really well in audio media players:-)
I'd have to say I support the hate speech thing because, you know, I think it promotes hate... but that's just me.
I think if you RTFA you will see that they essentially faked photographs/data of 9 out of the 11 colonies by using the donor cells and the 2 colonies they did actually produce.
Might it not be a solution to the integrity problem for Wikipedia to simply provide both a controlled version and an uncontrolled version?
I mean, the principal Wikipedia contributors could have the right to mark articles as "controlled". By default when a user read articles on wikipedia he or she would see the controlled versions of articles but could always switch to the latest version (which could still be edited by anyone) if he or she so prefered.
Panasonic is showing this at CeBit. It is being marketed, primarilly, as a point to point solution for IP HDTV.
Although security is a still of some concern in this context it is certainly less of an issue if your neghbour can snoop a copy of whatever it is your watching... unless your Paris Hilton that is and your watching a home movie.
I am having a hard time deciphering you rant but I guess you are saying that the mouse is the problem?
I know this is Slashdot and all, but before you make a "this is so obviously X I cannot understand why this story is here" rant you may want to consider actually reading the article and watching the video.
If you did you would have noticed that that he is comparing an LCD and a CRT, hooked up at the same time, using exactly the same mouse, and the LCD is significantly slower.
If the mouse were the problem it would be a problem on both his LCD and his CRT.
If you watch the video you will note that he actually has both monitors hooked up at the same time showing the difference so I am tempted to think the mouse is not the issue.
The value of pervasive connectiveity, IMO, is that it permits you to do work at times when circumstances require you to be away from your desktop. The only way I stay atop my 300 email a week inbox and still stay productive is by using my laptop in cabs, on planes, even in the subway. I recently decided to invest in a PDA because it will permit me to at least read my email when I not able use a laptop (like when I am waiting in an airplane boarding queue, when the flight is taxing, while waiting for a cab/bus/subway and even while my wife is in some womens clothing store).
The point is mutlitasking can sometimes be usefull and efficient provided it is done at times where you are performing a task that involves litmited stimuli and pervesive connectivity will only assist that.

Multitasking at the right time is usefull.

Do you not think that by creating too many "STANDARDS" you will stifle a great deal of inovation?
The functionality of Linux has evolved rapidly partly because of a darwinian "best code wins" approach. Standards would mean that would be developers would be limited in the functionality they developed.
You could design the grid "participant" software such that it would only use the idle resources of your device.
So your network bandwidth and CPU resources would be 100% yours when you needed them but when your device was partially or fully idle the resources of your device would be made availlable to other users and devices.
Personally, security issues not withstanding, I would have no problem with someone making use of my idle resources as long as when I needed them they would be availlable to me instantly.
The hack in question does not permit you to stream to the AE unless you have access to the network on which the AE resides. If you did gain access to that network in some way you could still engage in the "abuse" you mention through iTunes without this hack.
The point of the hack is to permit you to stream music from programs other than iTunes to an AE you have access to and not to hijack AE's.
Well, if you actually read the article, you will find that the reason why they want to put this tax in place is because they do, in fact, already tax other devices which use the radio spectrum.
The tax would be applied per device (at the POS) and not based on usage.
... however I don't think we'll be abolishing #s entirely. After all you have to put the # in your address book to begin with in order to dial by name in the phone book...
I think the point of the article was that phone numbers will be replaced with domain names so you could, say, enter a URL, which which would suffice to call you girlfriend.
You would have to remember you girlfiends URL, but presumably this would be easier then her number.
If you have access to a US address - which you can get through a mail forwarding services if you do not know anyone living there - you can switch your Canadian credit card to that US address.
This will allow you to buy stuff from iTunes US, while living in Canada.
It also works for many other vendors that do not want to deal with Canadian addresses.
If you put it in the instrument cluster you would need a new BWM, or a very expensive retrofit, to go with your iPod. This way, you can retrofit an existing BMW at relativelly low cost.
Also, you would need a different component for each iPod form factor which would be very expensive to change once the iPod Micro (tm) (or whatever) is released.
Well, I travel a great deal on business and I would love to show my wife the occasional interesting thing I see. I will not carry a camera though because I have enough stuff to carry and worry about.
A camera phone, on the other hand, would work nicely as it would not add to my carrying weight.
So I am personally in the market for a decent camera phone.
The phone you reference is from Japan which has had superior phone technology for many years. It is fair to say a phone that comes out in Japan today will take at least two years to have a US/European competitor.
Nokia is not so much behind the times but, much as every other vendor, is is behind Japanese phone technology.

The ArtPix product is $195 for a 5" screen.
...
The pacific digital product is $495 for a 10.5" screen.
A judicious use of eBay and some time could propably get you a 15" product for about $500.00. Seem like a decent deal to me
