Same as you and I plan on keeping it for awhile. Though Samsung has discontinued this model and replaced it with a smaller one. Which sucks becuase my flip part piece is having problems and I've just given up and started to only use the hands free ear piece..... The things you have to do;)
I have Sprint PSC and love it. It worked great in Seattle and now works great in Boston.
That said everyone I know complains about Sprint's coverage and has sworn them off, something I couldn't figure out. Then this summer a bunch of use started to do a phone comparison. And you know what, almost everywhere I had a few bars while they were dropping to roaming.
Then we realize that my older (and slightly larger) Samsung must have a more powerful antenna. All my friends super cool $300 migit phones made a signal strength vs. size tradoff.
So don't complain if you cant get signal in doors. You should have bought a larger phone....
Funny how whenever something like this happens in the US, every Canadian and EU citizen laughs and yells how that could never ever in a million years happen where they live. Individual rights trump everything else outside of the US.
This isnt' a troll, but those "books make up of a collection of some unfinished notes" generally are unreadable. Silmarillion is the only book I've ever quit in the middle of.....
What if IBM becomes the only utility and charges way more than it should - there's no competition so Company A can't shop around. Along this same vien, if Company A is smart enough, they'll never enter into a utility agreement with IBM if they can generate their own computing cycles and be sure that they'll always be there, versus putting all their eggs in one basket.
If they do charge way more than its worth, then why would an organization opt to use IBMs utility. In that case they'd just continue to go about buying software/hardware as they do today.
This is a great concept. If you guys actually read the (many) articles on Sam's speach, you'd see its nothing like timesharing either.
The concept IBM is going for is to treat IT as another utility. Instead of some small company having to keep an expensive IT staff and maintain their own computers/network/storage, IBM says that it will do this for you. IBM will essentially replace the IT department and let some organization concentrate on running their own business.
The cost saving of such a model (if successful) are quite substancial and will save everyone money in the end.
I think IBM is on the right track with this and they are the only company really positioned to do so.
I agree, but the real problem is not the troll comments like this but the blatent miss infomation article descriptions where it doesn't even seem that the poster read the article.
/. screaming that everything must be some evil corporation just dilutes the real issues.
Making false headers illegal will help a lot in filtering spam, if all marketing emails must start with the subject "ADV:....." I'd never see another piece of spam again.....
Yes, temperature does effect switching time, although not nearly as much as voltage for sub-micron channels. Lower temperature translates into slightly faster switching times. But if you really wanted to speed up a path, a slightly higher voltage will perform the job better. Also, in the field its easier to have control over voltage than temperature.
As a result of this, one of the newer hardware design ideas it to provide multiple voltage levels within a chip. Higher performace logic is driven by a larger voltage difference than logic where performance is not as much of a concern.
I think the main reason why Tivo hasn't taken off is that most people still haven't seen it in use. Me and my brother bought our parents one for xmas. When we first hooked it up they didn't like the idea of another layer over regular TV.
Needless to say when I came back two weeks later there were several season passes hooked up and many shows recorded. (Including some sex in the city which bothered me;) )
If my parents could get to the point where they couldn't remember how to watch TV without it then its not hard to use or understand.....
Why didn't you just get at TivoNet card? Last time I checked they were around $55, its been so long since I've used my Tivo modem I don't even know if it still works.....
What about the mods for PlayStation 2? I haven't heard anything on the divx front, but now that linux is up and about on that platform there must be someone working on a divx playstation 2 app. Anyone out there know of anything like this?
But by stating that Europe has a high level of awareness (implicitly stating that America is the opposite) you are stating an opinion which others obviously disagree with. So why are you getting so annoyed when others speak what they think?
I did not read the book so my comments are sololy based upon the reviewer's interpretation.
Recently I read An Elegant Universe by Brian Greene which (in my opinion) the best string theory for the masses book released to date. Brian Greene starts with about 4 chapters on basic physics, followed by about 4 chapters on the basic mathmatics (without the actual equations) of string theory. The last 4 chapters describe many, some a little too much for my taste), consequences of the science.
From the review, you can draw some parallels between Stephen's cellular automations and multi-dimentional strings. By Stephen's view strings are nothing more than complex versions of the cellular automation model, primarily because string theory's strings interact by a set of 'rules'. Which is valid to a point.
However instead of stopping there, string theory is the attempt to describe the basic mathmatics which in turn describe the basic behavior of the basic elements of the universe. Yes, from there very complete behavior is also evident. It seems the peice Stephen missed is that in the real universe is _might_ also be possible to describe simple mathmatic rules which yeild his cellular automations.
I had my domain registered with Verisign for about 4 years and in that time I learned what a crappy company they are. I would get bills from them without warning for around $4 for ramdom "services" which I never signed up for. Worst of all it was impossible to get someone on the phone to correct problems. No joke, twice I've been on hold with them for 1+ hours only to be disconnected.
The final straw for me was when I received a mailing from them advertising discount renewal rates. The only thing was that they were bogus. After spending lots of time on their website and email customer service, I releaized it wasn't going to happen.
So I switched to directnic. They're cheap, and the FAQ pages do an excelent job of explaining the domain transfew process which was a concern. So some other place out and get Verisign off of you back too.:)
It was stated that there are at least 10 other small companies being sued by this "company" and in the same situation. Do you know who they are? If so I'd suggest contacting them and seeing if they are interested in a group class action lawsuit for extortion.
It seems that your case is very strong and at least some of the other organizations will recognize this as well. Banding together with the other companies will 1) Reduce your legal fees 2) Strengthen your case 3) Give all of you more negotiating power with PanID.
This release will probably do more to promote open source software than most people think. Up until now not having a solid suit of MS Office applications on Linux was the real barrier to most users and/or forced people maintain a Windows installation. As much as I dislike the MS machine, they do create great applications. But with OpenOffice I think it will be much easier for people to make the switch off of Windows.
Yes the STL has fast implementations of vectors, maps, etc. however it isn't as fast as you'd think. In my opinion the STL just isn't slow.
An alternative is the LEDA suite of tools. Not only is it a faster implementation of the STL but many useful graph functions are built in. I know its not free, but they give out free licenses to students and anyone working in a research environment.
Damn, didn't even consider that. Oh well, if they sue me they sue me, there isn't too much for them to take from me though (besides no future betas....)

Then two years ago peopled started to send me email greeting cards through some sight. Now I get loads of spam...
and I have more money than your poor forign ass

Where is this happening again?

So from this line of reasoning...
Since I've never run for any government position, I can't comment/complain about it.

Except for the fact that the Europeans are seriously cracking down on immigration and are atively trying to fight cheap labor in Africa.
But by stating that Europe has a high level of awareness (implicitly stating that America is the opposite) you are stating an opinion which others obviously disagree with. So why are you getting so annoyed when others speak what they think?
You're ruinning it for us ;)
