It seems like this would be pretty easy for Apple to prevent. They know this is coming, and they control the servers that would initiate the remote wipes. If they suddenly saw 250 million requests for remotely wiping devices, why would they actually carry those out?
From the USB standard, section 7.2.1 (emphasis mine):
A unit load is defined to be 100mA. The number of unit loads a device can
draw is an absolute maximum, not an average over time. A device may be either low-power at one unit
load or high-power, consuming up to five unit loads. All devices default to low-power. The transition to
high-power is under software control. It is the responsibility of software to ensure adequate power is
available before allowing devices to consume high-power.
The Freescale chip in question is an ARM -- the i.MX31 (this driver is actually for the power management companion IC). Freescale does not and never has made low power x86 chips. In fact, being the spin-off of Motorola's semiconductor division and the home of the 68K processor line, they would probably find that suggestion offensive!
Who says people over 65 don't use the internet, you insensitive clod? People over 65 invented the internet. No, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Al Gore just turned 60 this year.
And the PS3 isn't as loud as the 360 so your movie watching experience won't have as much fan noise. This is a point that most people don't think of. I have both a PS3 and an XBox360/HD-DVD addon, and they both sound like someone is operating a leaf blower in the room when trying to watch a movie, although the PS3 does have a slight edge in this department.
As the summary itself said, this rule only applies to checked luggage, so unless you were planning on running a cord to the cargo hold to use your spare battery you should have no problems.
It doesn't require the USER to turn on "standards mode", it is done by the DOCTYPE specified by the web page itself. This is nothing new, the current versions of IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. do the same thing.
If Apple opened the iPhone to any carrier and passed off that special feature set, AT&T would likely be everyone's last carrier choice so who needs who?
Yes, but AT&T has a four year exclusive, so unless Apple wants to wait 3 1/2 years for this scenario to play out, the do have an interest in keeping AT&T happy for the time being.
Perhaps you should have read the article, which answers this very question.
It doesn't look like this is going to wind up in any kind of litigation, and for that I am thankful. If I can die someday without having sued or been sued, then I will die happy. This ends just as I had hoped it would: with the clip back up and, I like to think, with Viacom and me getting to shake hands and move on and wishing each other well. I'll certainly harbor no hard feelings toward Viacom for the past two weeks.
Not true, states will issue an ID card that looks like a driver's license and is good for all of these purposes, except that it is not valid for driving. In Minnesota, a driver's license costs $22.25 and an ID card costs $16.25. I have friends that don't drive and have never had a problem in any of the above situations with their ID cards. Well, everything except renting a car -- I can see why they would want a valid driver's license in that case!
The review I read of this HTC device complained, "it soon became smugged and a little greasy", exactly why Smartphone users dont like to touch their screens but use a stylus instead. I dont want to clean the screen 3 times daily.
The real problem with greasy smartphone screens comes not from touching them with your finger instead of a stylus, but holding them against your head to talk on them.
Mine does, but only if the controller is plugged in before I shut down the 360. The 360 stays powered up (the fan continues to run, but the light on the front is off and there is no video output) until the controller is fully charged, at which time it shuts down completely.
No, not really. The license to transmit on GSM frequencies may be more tightly controlled than that to transmit on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, but any device that transmits on any frequency, licensed or unlicensed, is classified by the FCC as an "intentional radiator" and must go thorugh the same testing & approval procedure before it can be shipped.
(unless they continually broke it intentionally, and were specifically devoting engineering efforts to artificially "breaking" Windows on only Mac OS X versions of Parallels and VMWare products
Kind of like how Apple "breaks" Mac OS X so it won't run under Parallels or VMWare?
Here's the scenario: You are the TA for a CS course. You have 700 NASM programs to grade. What do you do? Compile them and see if they run and return the expected results. Well by doing that, I just compromised your entire account. From the comfort of my own home.
Bad example -- if the TA assembles and runs the programs without looking at the source, you don't need a bug in the assembler -- a perfectly legal source file could just compile into a program that compromises the account.
But, we should get receipts showing how we voted for our own records.
No, we shouldn't. This would cause more problems that it would solve. Being able to prove to someone who you voted for would make it possible for them to buy your vote. Right now, you could take their money and then still vote for someone else, since no one will know who you vote for. This makes it much more difficult to conduct this kind of fraud.

You mean, like the original Mac from 1984?

That doesn't make any sense. The quote was "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run."

Actually, to be perfectly accurate, they will get an extra pip at 2005-12-31 23:59:60.
Well, here's one sample written by Bill for which the source code is available.
Actually, Intel did own Alpha at the end.m l
