As for looking "absolutely horrible", I suggest you try it before you bash it. I've been using a 37" 1920x1080 LCD as my primary monitor for years and it's freakin' awesome. Hooks up via DVI (with HDCP support). I sit back about 3' from the display and I love it. In fact, I can lean waaaaaay back in my chair and still read the text without the slightest bit of eye strain. And games look great.
So what you're saying is that a company, fingerworks, that apple owns, invented the pinch gesture, and that apple owns the patent on it having bought that company? What's the problem there?
Because patents should expire, and the pinch gesture was "invented" in the early 80's.
Or they're using another company's wire account. The money is legit, they just didn't have the right to send it. When the actual company sues you for the money, you're extra screwed with legal fees.
That almost happened at my company, a salesguy was all excited because some sucker wanted to pay double to get the merch shipped to Australia, if only we'd pay his shipping agent, and it "couldn't bounce because it was a wire transfer, not a check".
Fortunately, the guy used the same address repeatedly and the first result on Google was somebody complaining about it.
It's called a lien sale. You have to fill out some forms, offer to return it to the owner for a fee, and then offer it for public auction. If the owner doesn't want it and nobody bids on it at the auction, you get the right to retitle it.
This doesn't apply to junked or salvage vehicles, that's usually easier, and may vary depending on your region. Not a lawyer, yadda yadda.
Not that I'm aware of, but you can buy hookworm to treat your asthma or other autoimmune disorders. Costs a few grand, or you can always get it from the source.
You just blew my mind. I've had a Nintendo DS for several years without this ability... in fact, I don't even thing there's a way to store data of that size on my DS. What on earth are you talking about?
It's been around since 2006 man... ANCIENT HISTORY.
Really? You had a DSi 2-3 years before they were released?
Oh, please tell me that it involved feeding one of those animals to the other and and thus horrifying chatroulette users in a way that won't put you on an offender list.
su changes to another (priveleged, presumably) user and requires that user's password
sudo merely allows you elevated privileges based on your own account and does not require sharing a password. Changes made are still logged as being done by you, ownership doesn't change, etc. It is less of a security risk than su since you don't have to share the password of a priveleged account.
Or, you can get some TSA employee having a really bad day who is pissed of that (s)he now has to deal with you and it will could forever and be a pain in the ass.
I like the bit where the report admits the Board members did indeed have knowledge of the tracking, but were too ignorant to realize what that meant, and that any who may have realized that it took pictures thought that it only would take a picture once.
And because they were ignorant, they didn't think to ask "if you can take one picture, why can't you take more pictures" and "what keeps anybody from doing this whenever they wanted".
They did, however, think to ask "can we disable tracking for certain laptops?", which is telling, considering that 5 of the 9 Board members have children in the program. Were they concerned somebody might be spying on their kids, or were they just worried because they intended to "lose" the laptops.
Especially considering the email that said they thought it was like watching "a little LMSD soap opera,". While the statement could have been taken out of context("testing this is cool, this is like 'a little LMSD soap opera'"), it kind of implies they looked at something.
I'm going to feel just a little bit sad for the owners of those million iPads when they drop the price and kick out the next version in 6 months. They'll be outraged, but Jobs will just say "hey, at least it wasn't 2 months this time!"
Who needs to carry the cards around? You can make RFID spoofers with an ATtiny85 chip, plant one in every class, and then charge students to add their IDs to the broadcast.
Or get fancy and use an ATmega or Propeller along with a wireless chip or an ethernet board. Then you wouldn't even need to show up to program the chip.

I suppose you could backform from malapropism(the act) to malapropist(the person committing the act).
The original committer of these acts was Mrs. Malaprop, but people seem to use "malaprop" as the noun for the specific mistake instead of the person.
Yup, odds are most of those are spam, but I note that portemanteau gets about 400,000 hits, as does neologism.
Malaprop gets 150,000 and malapropism only gets 76,000
Malamanteau is already more referenced than one of its parts.
It depends, do you count a rocket loaded with raw materials, a database of DNA encodings, and a DNA encoder to be "manned".
Sure, the first batch of kids will be raised by robots, but it gets the job done.
Unfortunately, if you ask how many planets were there in 1995, it just gives you the same answer.

On a DSi, not a DS. And not mp3s

I've been getting the same thing but "oops, I misdialed your extension instead of $whomever. Could you just transfer me?"
Considering my extension is the same digit 3 times, I can't see how they possibly misdialed.

Well, until you fail a climbing check. Nothing like hearing that crunching noise and then feeling the acid seep out.
Always put points into Open Lock.
Literally!
So you only get to use it for a bit over 5.68 hours?

To say nothing of the $90 billion in liabilities they have.

It depends, has Netcraft confirmed it?
