They have wireless monitors(power cord required, of course). But it is a wireless implementation of the USB->monitor dongle, so you only get to pick two of [FPS, resolution, color depth], plus it is over $100 for just the adapters.
Maybe I'm just a Luddite, but half the appeal of learning from a book (especially for a subject like math) was the ability to quickly flip between half a dozen pages to get to the right charts, reference sheets, and examples, and being able to scribble my illegible notes in the margins. I guess you could do it with an iPad with bookmarks and annotations, but I can't imagine it being anywhere near as natural or as easy as you can with a regular old textbook.
I'd rather have an electronic book with a notebook feature that lets you clip out sections and arrange them right next to each other so you don't have to flip at all. Plus a clickable index, "jump to page X", bookmarks, and searching.
That'd beat the hell out of dog ears and page flipping.
Switching from drilling fluid to seawater is more like using a 5% component instead of a 1% component. Fine if the situation isn't marginal, but it'll fail when things go wrong.
Secondly, an "open" platform allows more things to be done with it. Say some company is willing to sell me a netbook with a detachable keyboard (or a tablet with a clip-on keyboard that swivels), I would be more inclined to purchase that over a traditional netbook
But the only way to achieve that is to cut out half the work force so labor prices go up.
We can't force women back in the home because "they've got rights", but, while I'm sure lots of the guys would love to be house husbands, women won't let men "be lazy".
I don't know any other way to arbitrarily reduce the workforce. Although I suppose we could develop some crippling/disfiguring but non-lethal disease with a 40% infection rate.
The problem is that mandating open access makes those governments less secure.
Right now people use blackberries because they perceive them to be secure, so it is easier for a government to hand RIM a warrant and get data. If governments force RIM to give them full access all the time, everyone will perceive blackberries to be insecure and start using other methods that governments will be unable to control.
Actually, there is an acknowledged problem that "American interests" (i.e., US-registered corporations) own and operate a large fraction of the world's international cables, and almost all of the intercontinental cables. So it's easy for the US government to think of at least the "Internet backbone" as US property.
The Internet might be a better place if this problem were fixed.
You're not suggesting that we let foreign-owned cables connect here? That would be literally letting them establish a beachhead upon our soil!
Are you a {terror,commun,islam,morning m,union}ist?
Considering how weak the signal is, I would think you could plop a transmitter next to the monitoring device fool it into thinking you are sitting at home.
Ah, here's an article on hijacking trucks with GPS/onstar equipment.
Not necessarily: in a recent BJS study, the rate of inmate-on-inmate abuse among female inmates was more than twice as high as that reported by male inmates.
Not a whole lot of women in jail for brutal murderous rape, usually just the pedo kind.
It's an amazing feature my power company provides. That alternating sag/surge/sag/surge really shows management why they can't slash my power conditioner/UPS budget.
It is possible to check for the presence of steganographic messages in images, although not necessarily read them. For example, if you store it in the least significant bit, it will have the wrong amount of randomness(too much if you encrypted, too little if you did not).
And if they suspect you, they'll run your images through it, plus ask you if the pictures themselves contain hidden meaning(e.g. beach scene=safe, mountains=danger).
I have a pair of industrial Lexmark wide carriage printers that only cost 40 bucks for a cartridge that last for 40k triple carbonless sheets($2k for the printer, though). Actually came with the circuit layout, diagnostic procedures, and replacement instructions for every piece, including those that need soldering.
Alas, $700 for a motherboard, which I found out after a storm found its way through the onboard serial port. Went for a a $900 refurb instead, as I might be switching to laser in the near future. The carbonless paper is not cheap.
She'll probably also have to prove she does the majority of her blogging elsewhere as well. On the plus side, she should see about claiming her computer and office space as a business expense.
It'd be better if the halves overlapped, but it will probably work. I use an aluminum cigarette case and my card doesn't work, even when the case is in physical(although not electrical) contact with the reader.
Not speed bumps, just grind in some rumble strips. Even better if you can tune them to curse in the local language when you exceed the speed limit. Or play cookie-monster-metal.
Baen is awesome. While they are a little heavy on the war-fic, they make you want to buy hardback because they often include a CD with 20 or 30 other books on it, sometimes entire series.
Not true, I've got some old SF paperbacks with cigarette ads stuck right in the middle of important scenes.
Since they are on thicker stock and in color, you can tell when the monster appears or somebody is about to get betrayed, so I call them "foreshadowing". Because the writers usually didn't use any.

Because lots of people link to experts-exchange. Usually with a "scroll all the way down or fake your redirect" disclaimer.
Odds are he'd survive claiming he was parodying WtP, but George Lucas will sue him into the ground.

So there aren't many curb lanes or exit-only lanes where you are?

Are GPS transmissions signed, cryptographically?

Crap, let me try again. *crack* @#$@#%
Whole new security system just because I went on one date. *sigh*
Since the variation is minute on the seasonal level, I'd imagine the daily variation would be even smaller.
In my county, you need a license to hold a garage sale(it's $10). And if you hold more than 1/quarter, then you need to collect sales tax.
