And how are you supposed to induce current without voltage?
If the voltage were kept below that ofthe battery it would drawthe current from the battery...kind of why your alternator puts out 14 volts to charge the 12 volt battery in your car.
King George tried to implement the Broadcast flag? Wow I never knew that...glad it didn't happen back then as I wouldn't have had time to pick up a broadcast flag ignoring hdtv card!
becuase the original comment was comparing monopolist practices - google vs microsoft.
so it is a perfectly valid comment to indicate that in that instance Microsoft is NOT forcing him to use windows - his company is. different story completely.
You have a 'right' to nothing. They may have an obligation based on the contract to provide you with patches if that's what the agreement says.
More likely the agreement says that you are accepting the software as-is, and that they are not liable for any loss you may experience through the use of the software.
I know these were probably rhetorical questions, but allow me to answer anyways...
I'm going to the gym for an hour - I'm expecting a call, but can't delay my workout, and can't stand to listen to the drivel they play on the gym's stereo...I could bring two devices with me, or one...I'd prefer one. In this case if the phone was charged it would easily last the hour, I could get away with one device with me, and have solved my phonecall and music problem.
The only problem I have with an integrated phone and MP3 player is battery life, and there are a multitude of situations like the one above where it would not be an issue. A 20 minute walk/bus/subway into work would be another case I can think of offhand that this would be ideal for.
As for your camera phone example - your daughter BOUGHT the phone - that's all the phone manufacturer cares about...as far as they are concerned, whatever they did, they did it right.
Oh boo hoo hoo, so you had the pay to move out of your own pocket? How outrageous. Seriously though, since when do employers pay you to move? For people in the real world rather than an dotcom-bubble, you have to pay it all up front and you DON'T get reimbursed afterwards. What a spoilt fucking baby.
You're kidding right? You'd take a job far away without getting relocation compensation? It'd have to be a killer job for me to move to a new location without comp...
Firefox growth is driven mainly by the way Microsoft keeps tripping over its own feet when responding to security issues.
So they were right - the first 10% is easy! Waht could be easier than Microsoft Security issues? Wonder what the betting line in Vegas would be on security issues in Microsoft software??
but I'd think the judge would be rather upset if one of the parties could have taken simple, reasonable, steps, that would have a good chance of the suit being dropped before hogging the court's time.
So exactly how reasonable is it to expect a dead person to fax their own death certificate? There are two parties involved - the RIAA and the deceased. One of the parties is going to have a hard time taking any steps. The RIAA is quite fortunate that the daughter interceded in such a way - that probably saved them a lot of money.
no way man - sports rocks on MythTV - especially Boxing...especially if you can keep from knowing the outcome - i'm watching the Aussie Open right now - Hewitt and Roddick - I have no idea who wins, and no waiting for commercials while they change ends. And I can immediately watch the finals when they are done!
Motorcycle racing and billiards (not that billiards are ever shown live) are also great for that. I'm not a us football or baseball fan, but I'm sure those would be great as well as there seems to be a LOT of downtime in those sports. Perhaps starting it a 1/2 hour or an hour late and approaching realtime as the games finishes would be a good compromise.
Just make sure you have you're compression settings set appropriately, as the little ball can be hard to follow if you compress too much.
Nope - they are absolutely free to do as they choose - in this case those chose to break a contract without providing a satisfactory reason (or so the news article says)
In theory, there is nothing to prevent someone from combining all of these elements to produce a hardened OS that is impervious to both physical and logical attacks, both locally and remotely.
Well actually, in theory it is impossible to make an OS that is impervious to both physical and logical attacks, both locally and remotely. Best you can do it make it unfeasible to penetrate - ie take longer to get to the information you want to hide than matters - who cares if someone can decrypt your algorithm if it takes them 4 billion years...
speaking from experience, you don't want to be using your ipod mini while doing yardwork and then fall into your pool...they are about as waterproof as you'd expect them to be:(
I'd much rather destroyed a $4 fm radio, given the choice that is...

or when it breaks buy one from one of the many companies that will be selling cards that ignore the broadcast flag in Canada....

1) record show at work
2) export via nuvexport
3) put resultant file on cd and take home.
4) Profit!
but it does suck that this isn't truly cross-platform.
Does OSX support Firefox (or Firefox support OSX)? Google Maps works on my Firefox browser on XP.

good point - it's a good thing IBM didn't have another solid version of unix, then they wouldn't have backed linux either...

How do you (or microsoft) know there is no tool to exploit it?
Perhaps I have one - perhaps I've been reading all your sensitive documents.
If I don't have one today, perhaps I'll have one tomorrow. Then will it be high priority?
Something about closing the barn door after the horse has escaped comes to mind here.
I haven't read the docs, but I would doubt that most people know that when they encrypt things the sys admin can freely peruse their encrypted docs.
So when that CFO is encrypting sensitive financial data and thinks that it is safe...guess what..it ain't.
Nope - they are absolutely free to do as they choose - in this case those chose to break a contract without providing a satisfactory reason (or so the news article says)
you paranoid americans....
Jeez I'd like to install linux, but I'm worried I won't be able to browse the web like I used to - oh Netscape? Really? OK, I'll give it a go!
"Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
so he's saying he hasn't done that - what's wrong with that?
it has a dvi out connector...my tv has a dvi in connector...so apparently it's already set up for a TV (depending on your TV).

Other than that does it get much easier than http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=2011
on that note, everyone who doesn't have a will wanted me to have all their money and valuable possessions. Why _not_ let me have them???
If you need me, I'll be patiently waiting for the fortunes to trickle in.
because Bush has the ability to stifle China's economy if they don't do what he says?
