Did you see her picture? That's professionally done promotional photo, not a candid by some hack ABC photog.
Because it's in sepia tone means that it's professional? BTW, she looks terrible in that picture, so if that really is a professionally done promo photo she must be god-awful in person. I won't comment on how she is going to end up doing after this (who knows), but I know I sure as hell wouldn't hire her.
and probably a few marriage proposals out of the deal.
Well of course she will, Scott Peterson has gotten marriage proposals (you know the guy who murdered his pregnant wife). Moreover, considering her financial situation (or moreover that of her father), I'm sure some guys would love to hop on that gravy train; doesn't mean that's a good thing for her.
I've been wanting to do this same thing with one of these Ambient Orbs.
They have a pretty complete spectrum range and can also pulse at varying speeds. I figured it could be cool (and useful) having color represent server health and pulsing equal load. The only problem is you have to transmit your info to ambient, who then transmits it to your orb 15-20 minutes later; I would prefer a more immediate local solution that didn't involve me transmitting somewhat sensitive information.
I know I know, I can make one myself, but who has the time?

Oh, well I stand corrected, if an AC says it must be true. I'll believe it when I see it, and if RIM settles and pays NTP for 1 cent we'll all know how full of shit you are.

Because they don't have one, simple as that, it's a bluff and a poor one at that. This is an attempt to frighten NTP, to get them to say "Oh we better take their offer right away, otherwise they'll work around our patents and we won't get ANYTHING!"
If RIM really had it, they would implement it immediately - this case is hurting them terribly.
The creator has said it's done, fox has said it's done, it has underperformed time and time again. And if you think there is any chance of a studio "surrendering" the rights to a show you know even less about the entertainmant industry than I do.
Here's an idea, how about the normal Office viewers saw the hilarious Christmas episode ("Yankee Swap!"), then saw all their family and friends around the holidays and told them how funny the show is and how they have to watch it, and then ratings increased.
Is that really less likely than what they are suggesting?
Of COURSE they are less likely to download music sharing software, most of them lack the know-how, the ipod demo is not techies. If you don't believe me look at the vast number of them who have trouble using iTunes, a mind-numbingly simple program. Don't misunderstand me, however, that does not at all mean their iPods are not chocked full of stolen mp3s, they are, they just didn't download them or load them themselves - their kid did it for them, their brother or sister, their tech savy co-worker, their friend from Poly-Sci or 3rd period History.
On the other hand, other mp3 players offer things like Ogg Vorbis support. Do you think that most iPod users would have any clue what Ogg Vorbis even is (and yes i know most of the ones reading this will, but this is slashdot, do you think most iPod users even know what slashdot is) ? Similarly audiophiles avoid them, they notice things like apples continued refusal to put up SNR and THD specs. Let's face it, the general public doesn't really know what mp3 is, they just know it means "latest R. Kelly hit!"
They are stealing music left, right, center. They just don't know enough to know how to do it themselves.
This is not useful untill/unless it is connected to a computer. With a connection to a laptop it would kick arse, but WiMAX or similar is probably more suited to that market. There is just no use for that much data on a phone.
Well good thing it DOES connect to a computer then. Phone connects to computer via USB cable (in the not-so-distant future you'll be able to use bluetooth instead of USB) - the computer treats it like a modem. As for WiMAX, that's great and all, but WiMAX coverage is currently almost nil, but high speed 3G networks are quickly covering most major cities in the US and have already been implemented in most of Europe.
Finally, the screens of some of these phones are easily as good as the video ipod screens, and at 3.6 Mbps you can stream full quality video to them (hi res, 30 fps, clean) - be it live TV or canned video. Get yourself a nice pair of bluetooth headphones and I don't see a reason to ever buy an ipod again. Don't bother spending lots of time downloading videos and loading up your ipod, just stream it on the fly to your phone. Once home "high-speed" access gets upload rates out of the kB and into the MB, you can stream directly from your home collection, which means say goodbye to pay for play, AND your phone won't need the latest and greatest tiny hd, which means it will cost a fraction of self-contained units that do need them like ipods.
The only caveat I see on the horizon for this is the cell companies themselves. They are the only ones who can ruin this in my opinion. They have to keep the costs down, way down from where they are now with packet data costs on most plans. People have to be able to pay a reasonable flat fee per month and be able to watch video freely in addition to their calls without "going over" their plan and getting reamed.
I frequently use fake contact information for domains that are for personal use. If I don't wish my name, address, and phone number to be publicly available why should I have to? The registrar knows who I am (I had to pay with a valid credit card), so it's not like Uncle Sam couldn't get the info on me if they need it, I just don't see the reason to put it out in the world and encourage unwanted solicitors and/or spam.
Just a few more days/weeks until 1.51 comes out, then I'll be all over it. By then all the 3rd party extension writers should have caught up and fixed any compatibility problems.
It's obvious that a rootkit exists on the CD. It's quite likely that Sony purchased the DRM from First4Internet. It's not obvious that Sony asked First4Internet to include a rootkit in the product that was delivered to Sony.
This is not a rootkit hidden in a DRM product, the rootkit *IS* the DRM product. There is no way sony did not know about this.
GSM and CDMA (and CDMA2000) all rely on precise synchronization between towers, this is done using GPS. Without it, you're going to start having cell problems real quick.
UMTS (WCDMA) networks would not be affected however, they specifically designed UMTS to not need that synchronization because they didn't want to have their communication infrastructure dependent on a US controlled system like GPS.
Yes, this is the heart of the problem. I would never even consider switching until they offer support for TDM plugins (DirectX plugin support would also be nice). There is no way I'm giving up Waves or TC Native.
If I had any mod points I'd mod you up; that show is goddamn terrible.
They cancelled Carnivale (an original and interesting show) and brought us that Lisa Kudrow nightmare (already cancelled) and Rome (to be cancelled any minute now).
The public health risk of resurrecting the virus is minimal, U.S. health officials said. People around the world developed immunity to the deadly 1918 virus after the pandemic, and a certain degree of immunity is believed to persist today. Also, in previous research, scientists concluded that modern antiviral medicines are effective against Spanish flu-like viruses.
Hope I didn't rain on your FUD, but I'm sure most of it won't get through your tinfoil hat.
Ya, i like where this is going. Set up your clicker to listen to the other clickers around you, then answer with the majority, or the same as the really smart guy you know, or some weighted mix thereof.
But really, even ignoring all that stuff, it seems like a bad idea for any kind of testing anyway, too easy to cheat off your neighbor just by looking.
A failed drive is not worth the effort to try to get stuff off of. I had a drive fail on a computer that was nonimportant. I had a recovery program run a WEEK trying to get stuff of it. It did, mostly.
Hard drives are cheap. What is more expensive, the time you spent fucking around trying to get something off a failed drive, or buying a backup drive. For me, the answer is simple.
Go back to with your P133 server or whatever you do....
"Go back to with" ?
And you're responding to me because? I didn't have a hd fail, I didn't try to recover any data, I don't have a P133 server. I never said I had any of those things nor did I ever give an opinion on any of them. Is this an argument you're having with yourself? Seriously jackass, wtf are you talking about?
Did everyone on slashdot fail reading comprehension?
Oh, thats a good reason. Your drive fails and you blame the filesystem. Smart you are. NOT.
Good at reading you are. NOT.
He said the drive failed, but he could still read raw data off of it, and the Reiserfs recovery tools to extract the files didn't work properly.
Get a RAID. Mirror it or RAID5 it.
He told you right off the bat it was non-crucial data for home use. Maybe you're made of money, but why would most people want to spend the money on two (or more) drives to protect non-crucial data. Considering that you're comparing it to your business it seems like you just weren't even paying attention.
