I have a domain name similar to a financial company and every month or two someone sends an email to me instead of their broker. Sometimes I respond, but often I delete it without bothering to read the email.
Lots of the Nikon Coolpix cameras come with wifi and claim to connect to your smartphone/tablet. Haven't used one so I don't know how well it works, but look at the S5200, S6500, or S9500.
There's a whole lot of variables in play and I don't think we'll know until people really start using this. Intel's first viersion of AVX didn't extend all SSE instructions to 256 bits, I don't know if AMD's does so you might give up performance in some workloads there.
I think for desktop use this will be a real win since you rarely run two applications that both use floating point.
Don't you just hate it when Microsoft takes the high road on security and raises some valid points. We've been through this scenario a bunch of times where some class of programs that used to only be used by local programs became accessible on the web and suddenly there is a rash of exploits (jpeg and pdf come to mind), I'd rather not go through it again.
That said, I think Microsoft laid out the problems with enough specificity that they could be addressed.
Quite apropos that the headline showed up in my rss reader as "China Starts Censoring Phone Calls Mid Sent..." I had to open the story to see if it was intentional.
In the linked case, the short story wasn't renewed, but the longer compilation (with a different title) was. Since the compilation was copyrighted within 2 years of the short story, its renewal extended the copyright of the short story as well, so the first half isn't in the public domain, neither is the short story.
Copyright is complex, PG made an error, admitted it, and pulled the story.
I'd much rather use SIP, but I have had a lot of trouble with SIP to SIP calls when using different VOIP programs. I have had almost no luck with video over SIP, skype video works. This app doesn't have video so I probably won't use it much.
It doesn't look like it can do video, that's too bad. You can also have only one account active (so you can't have both a work and a personal account).
It takes over 10MB installed and can't be installed on the SD card.
Other than that, it looks good.
By pen he means a real pen, that you dip in ink then use for calligraphy, not a ball point or roller ball pen. Given that, "practically no-one" probably refers to "practically no-one" and not "everyone"
[1] On November 13, 1998, this Court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's copyright infringement claim on the alternative grounds that the allegedly infringed works -- color transparencies of paintings which themselves are in the public domain -- were not original and therefore not permissible subjects of valid copyright and, in any case, were not infringed. [n1] It applied United Kingdom law in determining whether plaintiff's transparencies were copyrightable. [n2] The Court noted, however, that it would have reached the same result under United States law. [n3]
For your book example you say
Example: Say there is a text from a book written in the 1800's that is out of copyright in the US. I want to publish a copy of it, say, for a Kindle or even a discount-book print copy.
I have to find a printing of the source material that is out of copyright already. I need to have a physical book to get the text from that is over 75 years old (or whatever the appropriate copyright term is for that physical book).
I *can't* take a reprinting from 20 years ago and base it on that because *that* book IS copyrighted, even if the source material isn't.
You are wrong again. Facsimile editions (which preserve the layout) don't get a copyright. Even new printings (same words, new layout) don't get a new copyright on the words (they layout may or may not). New text, like new introductions or authors bios do. That doesn't mean publishers don't claim copyright, but it may mean they are invalid. Take a look at the Project Gutenberg FAQ
If all you are doing is laying down asphalt maybe it will go that quickly. After you have a few layers on a main road it takes longer because
1) you can't shut the road down completely 2) you can only work at night 3) you have to mill off the old layers first 4) you have to clean off the pavement right before laying asphalt 5) you have to put some sort of black goo down so the new asphalt sticks to the old 6) Whoever is doing the contracting seems to wait for random amounts of time between stages. 7) you do it in 5 mile chunks.
Near where I live there is a major interstate and it can take a month to re-pave, driving over the grooved pavement makes a lot of noise and the transitions from the grooved to old asphalt mean your car goes up a couple of inches.
I suspect 6 and 7 have more to do with bureaucracy/lowest bidder/political considerations than to technical reasons.
The child tax credit, like most other credits and deductions phase out as your income gets higher, so you shouldn't ever actually lose money. The way they phase out can get complicated, if your interested, IRS Publication 972 details how the phase-out happens.
IRA contribution limits also phase out in a similar way
Outside of Raleigh, NC they had a bumper crop this year. easily 2 to 4 times the normal level. Enough that it came up in casual conversation a number of times.
In MD, the maple trees produced a lot more seeds than normal this year.
But the only reason archaeologists already know that stuff is because society wanted to preserve it, and did so, successfully.
The more general rule is scientists want to find out what they don't already know. Which, in the case of archaeologists means the stuff society didn't think was important enough to preserve.
Unlocking the phone is easy, the two buttons are right next to each other. Furthermore, if two keypresses are too many, just slide the phone open, that unlocks it (and answers the phone if it is ringing). It is small and comfortable to hold and is reasonably light.
They predictive typing works suprisingly well, it is even supposed to keep track of what you have typed in the past to help it in the future, and if it gets it wrong, it shows you options and you can use the scroll wheel to pick the right one, no need to do the multi-tap tango. This is one area where it does much better than I expected.
One of the main reasons for me getting this phone was the wifi, so I could surf at home/work without needing a data plan. It is pretty good, auto-connecting when I open the phone. There is also no need to go to the start menu for common functions such as checking email or text messages, or even opening the web browser. The web browser itself does a poor job on many sites (such as slashdot) I think it is the css though and not technically the browser. Scrolling down is also a bit slow.
I have only briefly tried out the camera and video, but saving a picture isn't as intuitive as I would like, and after you take a video, you have to update your library before it shows up in media player. I don't have the my-faves (no friends, don't need it), The keypad does type in numbers when you are over a number field (if the phone knows it is a number field) Most of the two-button combos (like menu-1 to delete a text message) are pretty easy to do without thinking after you have used the phone for a couple of hours. You can get the speaker phone by pushing the green talk key, no menu needed.
There are some things I don't like about the phone. Even at highest volume it is hard to hear people talk (speaker phone is plenty loud, it just when you are holding it to your ear. It should auto format phone numbers (particularly since the - isn't on the keyboard, you have to select it from the symbol screen). Scrolling the web browser is too slow. It doesn't have a standard round jack for the headphone/mic
The real reason you haven't seen a color version yet, and aren't likely to anytime soon, is that e-paper is currently a strictly on/off display. It does not do grayscales at all.
According to the Guardian article: The display is based on tiny 40-micron diameter microcapsules, which contain dozens of oppositely charged black and white particles suspended in an oil solution. Electromagnetic fields dictate whether black, white or a combination of both are drawn to the surface of each capsule to render the desired shades
So it does do grayscale. Maybe in a few years they will figure out how to do color.
It sounds like an interesting product, hopefully there will be a way to download independently developed content and they won't lock you in to just using their library of 'approved' vendors.
He states that "newspaper ads delivered 4.8% of new hires" but "employers filled fewer than 1.5% of their jobs through CareerBuilder?" So he is comparing all newspapers to just one jobsite. If you compare all newspapers (4.8%) to just the three jobsites listed (5.6%) you see that going online is better than looking through the newspaper. And there are a bunch more online job resources that he didn't give percentages from. This still pales in comparison to using your social networks, but why wouldn't you do all three?

Lets see, there is Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. That is quite a selection of precious metals available.

Oh the memories. I remember that top review when it was on slashdot.

Under US Law, which you say is "actually the same thing" as UK law in this regards, you are quite entirely wrong.

I agree.
If you were using Mosaic it must have been 1993 or later.
Funny thing though, I remember saying pretty much exactly the same thing in 1994. (Although I was looking at serving GIS related files at the time)

You should check how much energy the light timer uses, it is quite possibly more than the parasitic load of the chargers.
Cheap light timers can use 2 or 3 watts, unloaded chargers usually are a lot less than a watt.

Every one says that about their specialty
Advertising: Don't cut it, that's what brings the money in.
Support: Don't cut it, it's cheaper to keep a customer than get a new one
IT: Don't cut it, it improves productivity so you can cut elsewhere
R&D: Don't cut it or we won't be competitive tomorrow
HR: Don't cut it, now more than ever we need to attract and retain the best talent.
