If you love your Treo you should emasculate the little bastard. http://www.treoantenna.com/shop/ All the women love my stumpy antenna these days. All right no woman has noticed, not even my wife. She's got he god damn hollier than thou E61 with its Wifi and VoIP and... um never mind.
I love my Treo. The Palm OS itself sucks but there are so many apps for it that I cannot see appearing on Windows or Linux anytime soon. e.g. Tide charts and Bridge OC. Palm should stop being a bitch to the cell phone providers and add skype and wifi to these things. You can hack your treo to accept the SD wifi card so its clear Palm left it out just as a mea cupla to the motherfuckers.
Just one more reason to literally skin all the cats. (The other reasons being a. their horrible effects on song birds b. the fact that they are fucking annoying and lash out at you when you pet them, c. if there were no more my wife couldn't ask for one.) Which makes me think... hmm the bees and dying, the birds are dying, and there seems to be way fucking too many fucking humans around doing way too many really bad things. I wonder if they are related?
I know its nonsense, I was kidding. Then again one bad Blizzard employee could makes some duckets on the side.
As to the IRS they could report the income. No fan boy is going to take time off killing furblogs to really disect the statement of cash flows to determine where all the money Blizzard is making is directly coming from. Speaking of money they must be making a shitload! Jesus, digital crack what a concept!
When I was playing WoW I thought that some grinding did get old. If part of Wow wasn't intensely stupid then SouthPark couldn't have owned it so badly and danced over the corpse. Really 60 percent for me was grinding 25 was lookimg for a group and 15 was having a great time working a difficult instance.
Then again I was grinding all the time because everyone in my clan was l60 but me. I would have been fine letting someone else or an AI make me some gold, which is worth real money to some people, while I slept. That's the rub, time is money and glidebot saves or makes you money. This pisses off the people who have no jobs or wifes/gf's who kill boars in the forrest.
Blizzard is probably the biggest gold merchants on the web (pretending to be chinese and using shady sites) and want to prevent competition. It would be easy to pretend to be shady and would gernerate HUGE revenue.
Ethernet has always confused me. Ok... here's the plan: eveyone talk at a random time, if you interupt someone wait a random time and start talking again! Wow what a concept.
My solution to the motherfucking SUV's is an easy 2 part solution. They are "commerrcial vehicles" exempt fromm taxes used to move children right? Make the motherfucking soccer moms get a god damn comerical drivers license for one thing, and charge a weight mile tax just like semis. Double the tax if they put studded tires on the thing.
Just becasue you are right about some points doesn't make him wrong. He is right about barrier to entry, I am not driving a Tesla right now nor will I be anytime soon. Becasue you can cite one example doesn't effect his point.
You are right about the 20 years idea but wrong becasue it requires a MAJOR change in the business model and its not going to happen without alot of blood. Fucking Ford couldn't even finish adopting target costing in their managerial accounting and now their fucked. If you think GM will throw away what has supported them just because it IS a good idea you're crazy. Detriot is RUN on the concept that it is easier and cheaper to buy a congressman than to update thier business systems.
About "If you radically change your manufacturing process to produce a better car, you lose your investment in the current equipment" and "I don't know where you're getting that idea, but it's wrong." It is true that recovring capital costs is important to business. Once they have been depricated maybe it will matter less but some companies use machines that are over a hundred years old. How can you imagine that the plant manager isn't going to shit bricks if you tell him your going to tear out the fucking walls on a dream?
"The smog laws in America are almost pointless when you consider it's GLOBAL warming and India/Mexico are basically shitting into the atmosphere. If they can make this work... awesome."
BULLSHIT!
25% of carbon emission are from the US according to the www.eia.doe.gov and I think that's a lowball estimate. India and Mexico may produce more carbon and soot per crap-mo-bile engine but there is so much less industrial output that their total aggragate output pales in compairison. What Mexico and India are doing is making WAY too many human beings. They need to stop "fucking" replicating at an unsustianable rate. Condoms could solve global warming, hunger, poverty, and war just fine if used they were used at the correct rate for long enough. Too many people are our TOTAL and complete cause to most planetary problems. Put a bacteria in a petri dish and wait a few days you'll see the problem. Humans are basically killing thier host by unsustaiinable growth. If we had 250 million people on earth the way we had for most of our history we could all burn what ever we wanted to, shit whereever we wanted to and drive personal locomotives around all day long and it wouldn't make a lick of difference. Ahhh but here's the problem, we can't. AIDS failed us, Ebola failed us, the Plauge failed us, so we are all going to drown in our own shit if we don't wake up.
"Companies that can't maintain a profit need to save money somehow, and long term investments become out of the question."
No companies that can't maintain a profit need to go out of business they way the market gods intend. Currently we have a situation where it is cheaper to buy a congressman than to fix your business model. E.g. Municipal Wifi and Sip VoIP phones like the Nokia e61 basically render mobile phone companies obsolete, so what to they do? Try and change the law to make municipal Wifi illegal.
I always thought they should just make an iPod with a screen on one whole face and put the click wheel on the back of the device. But hey they didn't ask me so what ever...
My main complaint is that they have closed the device to 3rd party software. No SkyPe or Gizmo project? Um great what's the point of WiFi then? I mean browsing porn on your fun is fun for all of 3 minutes.
I am currently in the middle east and my wife's Nokia e61 with WiFi and SIP VoIP is fantastic. She can also use SkyPe through Fring. Basically when you are in a WiFi area free calls to other users and $.01 international roaming. No our other home is Portland, OR. which has municipal WiFi so when we are at home we can be free of cell phone companies too. Can't beat that with the whole LAPD.
As to competition any device that can take a 4 GB SD card is a possible killer, and with the introduction of Bluetooth headphones the look and feel of the device becomes less important. It can really be just a block of possessing power and memory in your pocket.
If Apple wants it fly they need to open the device to 3rd party apps, full stop. A small touch screen OSX machine that you can't add software to is so intellectually offensive that it hurts.
I have to agree becasue private equity looks for money and AMD has never had any. Even when they were making better chips than Intel they couldn't turn it into real money and no one with real money is interested in bragging rights or over-clocking.
So if its debt load is so bad is there a way to let it go bankrupt then pick the bones for it's IP?
BTW what hair are we talking about? I never saw non of them there no underwear shots. Are we talking bald in the naughty place? Becasue if we are I think it might have been GM wax made by killer bees and applied by a nice Fillipino woman supporting her 3 kids back in the islands.
Or is it Leto II and the "Golden Path," the idea that you have to spread humanity so far and wide that no event can cause our extinction.
To do so he became the biggest bastard ever to live and kept humanity totally enslaved for many thousands of years. He waited until AI could navigate as well as humans in FTL ships, and for ships that were invisible then let himself be killed. Once his grip was released BOOM! There goes the neighborhood.
Close but not quite. You still need a phone company. Never POTS is a utility, Wifi is not even close to being a utility. 911 calls are a good thing to have on a battery backedup physical network. Also you need the ISP for the people to provide their own cloud. To get rid of the ISP you need to run fiber over the fence to your neighbor over and over again till you have your own broadband physical network with a cloud floating over the top of it, meshed hopefully.
I quit when I coughed up a little black and bloodly chunk of my lung during a date, the thing got her right between the eyes. It was then that I knew it would be no more smoky treats for me. Just kidding!
So you get an LED lightbox. They have them & they work. Really all you need is 10,000 lux to stimulate the SCN and start seritonin production. It doesn't matter what the spectrum is once you pass the threshold. You might be able to achive the results with lower lux a la the blue LED light box that costco sells but I don't know if it works.
The funny thing is the three major conduit channels run past my house. Level 3, Qwest's classic train conduits, and one put in my US West before Qwest. Water water everywhere...
My point is bandwidth is like money, you can't have too much for all practical purposes. Like money most people would have no idea what to do with anything more than one logarithmic step up. You can burn up a big pipe sending crap back and forth but for the ability to browse the web without having to walk away and wait for a page to load 200 k is not so bad. I once had the misfortune of using a Mac with a win modem. There was a noticeable lag between typing in a url and it echoing on the screen. That's beyond pain.
As to having bandwidth my high school had the first internet connection in the country and I have been blessed with fast connections through academia and work ever since. Believe me you can live with a smaller pipe when you have to. Right now I live in the Middle East and have to go to a US site that doesn't have a country wide firewall, download the updates and sneaker net them home to my PC. "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with magnetic media hurtling down the highway" or round the roundabout in this case.
All I am saying is before you pull you cock out of your pants and say I have an OC48 sized penis bla bla bla, go and try and use the web with a 28.8 modem for 1 hour and tell me that 200 is slow.
72k per pots line so I can talk and still have 1.7 lines open for data. That's broad enough for me. But then I live at the end of a pots line strung in the 1920's and they laugh when I ask for voice mail. Basically anyone who says 200 k is slow is an asshole or living in a fantasy world. If you aren't downloading othe people's movies or video games 200 k is ok. No don't get me wrong not OK for a business but that's not what this thread is about.
This is why you never light 3 cigs. on one match. Strike the match the sniper looks up, light the first he slights in, light the second he take a bead, light the third and you have a little red dot on the face of our target.
