Nokia's 770 platform is only just starting. The 770 is available for retail sale, but not really intended for the general public.
I guess other people have mentioned it's weird to say something is for sale but not intended for the general public. I mean, if you had to go to some special website or a fringe store and give a secret password, maybe I'd understand, but a quick look shows that it's on the shelves at 4 of the 5 CompUSA stores near where I live. A friend notes that it's also on the shelves at Fry's.
If a product isn't intended for the general public, maybe they should, like, make it harder for the general public to get. All they've done on that front is make it cost $400 (which I must admit is pretty effective to keep me away).
Except, no, it's not at all using Google's storage to move/wipe a machine. TFA is about a "software upgrade to Google Desktop" and the personal data that's referred to here is data *about* all of the files on your drive, not the files themselves. Plus, it also includes "documents, e-mails, instant messages and an assortment of other information," so you can see where there's privacy concerns. The idea is that you use Google Desktop Search to find these files, emails, IMs, etc on your machine.
But you might be at work, and it would be useful to be able to search your home machine to see if those things are there instead. Instead of a P2P connection between your computers, Google uses its servers to host the search data from each computer, allowing you to search that cache online and get your results.
Google keeping this cache online for up to 30 days after your last use. The privacy concern, obviously, is that this cache is going to have info about what files are on your PC plus it'll have text from your private emails, documents, and instant messages.
This has nothing to do with temporary storage of your data in order to move or wipe your machine.
It's not uncommon for people with a lot of book-smarts not to know how to pronounce words they've only ever seen written down. This doesn't necessarily mean that they were exposed to the terms anywhere near the time that they were on TV. They could have read a whole book about Buddy Featherstonehaugh but not known how to pronounce his last name.
According to this story and countless others, the tapings occurred in February. The next tapings are scheduled for August.
If Ken didn't lose by the end of his season, then he could be back for those tapings. I assume the current season will continue airing even during these tapings, and while Jeopardy has been extremely good at keeping the length of the streak under wraps, I imagine if KJ shows up in August, we're going to hear about it from somebody.
The first thing I learned to program with in Windows was WinBatch. It's great for learning concepts like variable and loops and such, plus you can easily make fun little scripts to open and close programs, move windows around the screen, or make little applications to do repetitive tasks.
The basic language costs about a hundred bucks. The compiler is a bit more expensive, but if she's using it on her own she shouldn't really need it.
Not to make a habit of responding to clueless ACs or anything, but if you'd RTFA or even TF post, they are specifically described as 'large reddish brown spots that flash in the middle of the picture, usually placed in a light area'.
The reel change signals in a film appear at approximately 20-minute intervals and are in the upper right corner of the screen. It wouldn't be a very effective signal to the projectionist if they moved them around randomly.
Those reel change markers are largely superfluous nowadays, anyway, since there are big-ass projectors that multiplexes use where you can splice all the reels together into one giant reel and just let that play.
iTunes files can be played on up to three authorized Macintosh computers, according to this. I figure if the seller has only one computer, he could conceivably authorize the buyer's Mac to read the file, too.
Someone with iTunes, let me know if that's not how it works. Do you have to pre-authorize the computers with iTMS before you even download it for that to work?
Also, as you can see in the article, if they have older versions of the iTunes software, he could stream it to the buyer, as well.
I dunno if that works well for math/science, but lots of English and philosophy courses require you to read quite large passages from the textbook before every session.
Hell, I had a Brit Lit class where the prof expected us to have read the first textbook chapter on the first *day*.
If you can't sell a song over seven minutes on its own, and you can't sell an album without offering the individual tracks, how the hell am I going to buy Tales From Topographic Oceans?
Sheesh, I can only get one song off Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
As I recall, Bittorrent was used to distribute Red Hat ISOs publically on the day they were supposed to only be available to paid subscribers. So, I have my doubts that Red Hat was involved or happy about the distribution.
On the other hand, that's not to say it'd be a bad option for Red Hat or anyone else to look into for ISOs and updates in the future.
Actually, you've got something backwards. It was Caldera that bought SCO's intellectual property and trademarks, not SCO that bought Caldera. Check here and look at SCO history:
Caldera, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Ransom Love and Bryan Sparks. In 1998, Caldera Systems, Inc. was created to develop Linux-based business solutions. In 2001, Caldera Systems, Inc. acquired the assets of the Server Software Division and Professional Services Division of The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO), forming a new company, Caldera International, Inc. In 2002, Caldera changed its name to The SCO Group (Nasdaq: SCOX).

This is pretty similar to the "Why don't you cache sites before you link to them?" question from the FAQ, and I imagine the answer for this is going to be largely the same.

Wait, wait, wait.
At what point do you expect an *American* programmer to enter into it?
I work for EDS and I've got a Linux box on my desk, if that counts.
Oh, that's not what you meant? Well never mind.

Geez, Steve, where's the love?

Well, they do use torturous sentences like this:
"Basically, that was a nightmare," he says, sounding as genuinely disturbed as a horror movie fan spooked by a scary flick.
which is pretty close.

"I can't believe my girlfriend left me," he said, sounding as genuinely broken as a stick that'd had a hundred pound rock dropped on it.
