The design isn't bad, compared with little rectangular motel-tv remotes that are designed to be so unattractive and unresponsive you won't steal them.
The first thing I did with mine was transfer its functions to my Sony RMV-L900, which is well balanced, has a rubber grip all around the edge, puts the important stuff right where it should be, and is fully reprogrammable if you don't think so.
If only it'd been designed after TiVo was invented, so I wouldn't have to repurpose the otherwise laughably unnecessary "MD" selector button to be the "TiVo" avatar.
Sunset provisions on a few laws are a good idea. But in general they suck down an enormous amount of legislative resources as the sunset date approaches, and result in coverage gaps and opportunistic political leveraging.
Want a law repealed or changed? Get off your sorry ass and do the work that the other people did to get it passed in the first place. Whining about it on Slashdot won't result in so much as a keystroke in the statehouse.
...to defeat this I add a few more of the 70 chemicals and nobody's the wiser......ain't it great when you can point out the security holes from a thousand miles away ten years before the technology manifests...
To get around the possibility of mistaken identity, the system can show pictures (security camera pictures if nothing else) of the named customer.
Would also be useful in validating that the RFID belongs to the person carrying it.
Instead of an expensive biometric analysis system, you use the human operator as a pattern matching device to ensure security.
Birds, stones, little feathered bodies everywhere.

Who do you think will establish more long-term relationships at a high-end clothier- the salesperson with this palm thingy who does the in-person version of "let me pull up your records", or the salesperson who turns around, recognizes an important customer, and says, "Ah, Mr. Jones! Good to see you again. How did the alterations work on your dinner jacket?"
But with the gadget behind the false front of his desk, the clerk can read
Customer entering: B. F. Jones Last purchase: Alterations to dinner jacket 1/29/04 $84.59+tax Total purchases: $9,259 Status: Platinum/All Courtesy to be Afforded
and take it from there, even if it's his first day on the job.
It's telling that someone modded a unique posting of personal experience as "redundant."
It's telling me the pro-Asslon community is willing to corrupt political systems to pretend their favorite product is superior to that produced by The Evil Empire.
Face it. Intel is worth the difference in price because of reliability and the lack of bullshit in their marketing.
I own an AMD 64-bit "3000+" microprocessor-based computer, and an Intel 32-bit 2200MHz computer, and the difference between them is that the Intel is faster.

ESR has always been a self-serving, mendacious, and disconnected.
Now, if Sun ever does EOL Java and free the source, Eric will claim credit for it.
It's nice to see it has the sense to stop and smell the roses* instead of blindly rowing to the corporate drum.

You'd prefer AOL to keep being the provider of first resort?
It's easier to figure out you don't have a disease online than to be convinced you have one.
Too late.
It's the original spam.
Everyone is into it.
It's so pervasive that
you don't even notice any more.
But some people are predictably taking artistic advantage
and some are merely advancing the art predictably
Maybe it'd be more obvious
if you could sell the old ones on eBay.

This is the sort of thing Niklaus Wirth was on about 40 years ago.
Of course containerism is weak. It's the result of the application of weak programmers to the rich feature set of modern computing architectures.
Tell you what. If you're too dumb to write good code, get a job flipping burgers (or "programming" in java) and stay the pecuniary fuck out of my way.
Just a few more technological advances, and your notebook will page your crack dealer when your blood levels start to dip.

This entire thread is merely proof that AMD lovers can't take the heat.
Winona Ryder's Lawyer: Your honor, my client wasn't stealing, she just thought stores worked that way.
You're the anonymous coward who can't buy computers just to see if they're any good. You're the worthless shiteater.
I have no plans to change heatsinks on this thing.
Here, dumbfuck, peel the numbers off your sorry face.
Changing a heatsink won't stress a chip unless you use peanut butter for the thermal goop.
Athlons have issues. Deal with it.
I suspect you're full of crap. I'm typing on the machine right now, and it's labelled "3000+" but the specs and the system info reports 1800 MHz.
So stop believing what Jerry and Hector feed you. You're being conned, and enjoying it.

Call what you want. I have both systems, and the P4-2200 beats the A64-"3000+".
I attribute it to the fact--the FACT--that the clock speed of the "3000+" is actually 1800 MHz.
I've also never actually seen a benchmark website where the Athlons beat the Pentiums by as much as Athlon fans claim. Nor the other way around.
You don't have to buy Celeron if you don't want to. People want to because AMD can't deliver reliability.
Bashing always gets me.
