Why Nokia Is Toast
·
· Score: 1
I had a Nokia 6650 which I loved, the things I actually did were easy to find and do; basicaly I talked, took a few photographs, used the timer, alarm and calender; if i did the SMS texting I'd be a dead-center typical user. That phone fell out of my pocket and got rained on before I found it, and was replaced with a 6350, I hate that phone, everything is hard to find or you, the worst change is your address book is one big monolithic list, rather than the hierarcial listing you could build in the former. All of the changes are purely software, Nokia just doesn't get it.
I support this as a customer too. It is annoying as hell when you buy a coffee and there are no seats... purely because 15 people have setup their mobile offices on all of the tables.
If you want to work (or read for an hour), go to your office or the library. There will be less distractions and you will work faster.
If you think it's rude and annoying that people camp out at a table for hours during a standing-room only rush, then simply reciprocate and be rude and annoying in return and sit down with them and ask if anyone was sitting in the vacant seat!
I can see your points if we were talking about places like Denny's and most Truck-Stop restaurants that have free refills on your coffee, but most cafès charge per cup. One in our town not only charges per cup, but has free WiFi on the premises, book shelves full of used books to read and trade, and has open mic nights for folk-music and poetry readings. Their sweets pot customer-wise is middle-aged college students knocking out some homework over a good cup of coffee after school while unmolested by the family. Seems to me that these Cafès banning e-readers are trying to take a very contrarian and anti-establishment orientated clientèle and force them into some stereotypical behaviors and it would be easier to be herding cats.
Our network at work kept going down at irregular intervals and with no readily apparent reason. Finally it went down and stayed down, so I had to figure it out. I was auditing all of the connections to the network switch and patchblock to insure every every device that we thought was where it was really was there. Then I stumbled across the problem the cable from the router to the internet to the network switch had a loose cable and the router could transmit to the network but not recieve so it went along and DOSed the network every time the cable jiggled wrong. Now consider if a home-grade router/NAT box can bring a 100BaseTX to it's knees what could a government-grade router do to the internet backbone?
They do control pitch to regulate the RPM, they also have electronic breaking through the alternator and even mechanical brakes; yet thing break, wear out or ice jams up a critical part and you have a runaway wind-turbine that either throws a blade and self-destructs or catches on fire and self-desturcts. The other thing no one talks about is if it take a hefty subsidy to make the installation economically attractive, how likely are they to replace a broken wind-mill without one? If Fly-By_Nite Wind Energy has sucked up all the easy money through tax-break and subsidies and then goes through a planned bankruptcy , who pays to remove all those wind-turbines?
Many companies have come and gone, been bought, or gone belly-up. Some of the hundreds of turbines not spinning have been derelict now for decades. There is no law in Kern County that requires removal of broken or abandoned wind turbines, and as a result, the Tehachapi Pass area is an eerie mix of healthy, active wind farms and a wind turbine graveyard/junkyard. 10 Amazingly-Abandoned Renewable Energy Plants
Maybe they don't explode like atomic bombs but tower can and do fail catastrophically, blades and ice from the blades can separate and be thrown 500 m, but the biggest problem with windmills is they just aren't any good for making electricity. On a good day your lucky to get 30% of the data-plate output, and when you really need the electricity either the windmill is becalmed or there is so much wind it's feathered and out of service. On a lot of the windmills when they are becalmed, they draw electricity to run the electronics and rotate the blades so the shifts don't warp from bing in one position too long!
Well one thing that USA can do that NASA can't is tell Thiocol to build the SRBs in one piece at a plant close enough to ship by barge or kiss their contract goodbye.
In order to close the place, the people incarcerated there have to be moved somewhere else, so let's send them home. Well the problem is, that "home" doesn't want them, they are people without a countries. What do you want to do, just put them on a ship so no Country will let them off instead of Gitmo?
Seems that photographer is probably missing a lot of royalties on that photo. The photograph is copyright-able because it is the result of a creative process, another photograph can also photograph the same object and copyright his image as well.
A blogger that I follow, Michael Yon has quite a problem with people stealing his work, even people who should know better such as Michael Moore (yes the movie producer Michael Moore and I've seen the theft of rights with my own eyes) has stolen his work. In one thread a poster recommended a reverse search engine Tineye, to find photographic copyright violators on the web. You just upload an image or the URL of an online image and TinEye searches its web repository for copies or near copies of the image, Now an average Joe can keep tabs on who and for what his or her photograph are being used for, and if desired put a stop to there illegal use.
Another point is not everyone can be vaccinated due to age and or allergies so they have to skip vaccination involuntarily. When others skip the vaccinations due to personal superstitions and increases the likely hood that the involuntarily unvaccination will come into contact with the pathogen
Wakefield was doing everything the conspiracy theorists usually ascribe to the immoral, illicit and illegal activities of "Big Pharma". Actually breaking up the MMR into 3 separate individual immunizations would do nothing but increase the profits of big pharma and the administering physicians.
Here let me make it easy for you that Scumbag Wakefield makes no claims, he was the only, among numerous Authors in a paper that did not retract his Authorship and was subsequently found to have endangered children and had his license to practice medicine revoked. That Paper was retracted by the publication "The Lancet", an action that is almost unprecedented. Therefore Wakefield has made no claims because his research paper was retracted by the publisher and disavowed by all but one of its authors and the research methods resulted in charges of “dishonest”, “irresponsible”, “contrary to the clinical interests of this child” "Other proven charges included nine of mistreating developmentally challenged children: causing invasive “high-risk” research to be carried out without ethical approval and against their best clinical interests.", "Wakefield caused three children to undergo lumbar punctures without clinical reason." and " "callous disregard” for the “distress and pain” of children"> Wakefield is a fucking whore, he was on the payroll of an attorney prior to, during and after his "research" that was engaged in litigation against the vaccine manufacturer that Wakefield found to be "harming" the GI tracts of the children in the study, the vast majority were referred to his by the attorney paying him for the research.
The whole time this was going on Wakefield was patenting a "safe" vaccine, that didn't cause chronic measles infections of the intestines or "Autistic Enteritis" as he called it, which would be pretty easy because there is no correlation between Autism and chronic measles infections of the intestines.
... frak just has a more aggressive sound than the 'uh' fuck has.
Then you're not saying it correctly; build up a little explosive pressure in your lungs and bring it up from you diaphragm then let it fly. Any questions, go ask Gunny Ermey, he can make "Oh poor baby" sound aggressive.
Until budget time comes around, the country is up to it's eyeballs in debt, teetering on the edge of a depression, fighting a long term war in Afghanistan and a long term reconstruction in Iraq and Mexico our southern land boarder neighbor is degenerating into a chaos of drug-lord hooliganism and Human trafficking, now these two asswipes think protecting the profits of the entertainment industry is an effective use of agency resources . I think they are going to be in for a big fucking surprise.
While NASA's Getaway Special program was canceled following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster on February 1, 2003; a few were very DIYish such as Project POSTAR that orbited an experiment designed by the Boy Scouts.
The original common name was 90 mile per hour tape, most peoples first contact was in Viet Nam where the canvas roofs on military trucks often had small rips and holes patched by the tape. The foil backed tape, we called missile tape, we used it to protect the leading edges of the elevons on our missile, but I don't think this usage was widespread.
There have been alternatives to the traditional DNS hierarchy, numerous Alternative DNS roots have come and gone. I'm sure if you frequent some of the dodgier back alleys of the internet you'll come across some underground DNS servers pointing to services trying to avoid the light of official scrutiny. I'm actually running my own DNS server on the computer I'm running on now, it would be trivial to run a personal TLD for what ever reason.
It really is pretty bogus that the US has such control over non-.us domains.
This is a pretty good reason to argue for the removal of ALL US hosted servers from root zone files.
Well a lot of that stems from
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), was the world's first operational packet switching network and the core network of a set that came to compose the global Internet. The network was created by a small research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense. ARPANET
As a result of that and the development of the DNS system the.gov and.mil gTLD refer to exclusively US government and military organizations; the definition of.com,.net and.org as global is a recent development and considering how territorial government bureaucrats are rather surprising.
The pain didn't bother me as much as the itching stinging gritty sensation, like having a bad sunburn for 3 fucking months! Well it might have lasted for longer but a visiting MD. told me about benadryl.
I'm like that I'd much rather watch and know when something is going to hurt and to be surprised by pain, put me out or let me watch. I was also a burn patient, I lit my right hand on fire and the article is right, the pain from the burn is less than the pain from being treated. They had me on so much morphine that I had to remember to breath and it still hurt more than anything else being deroofed. Luckily my burns were not severe enough to require skin grafting, but looked bad enough for the local hospital to transfer me to the regional burn center, where they knew what they were doing.
Wikipedia implies windows doesn't have UUCP without Cigwin installed, but that's all water under the bridge, seems the Egyptian Government is MIA from what I've seen on the news tonight.

There's a website that I tried once and can't remember where your thrown into one on one chat with random strangers.
