My presumption is that it adds features that people have been clamoring for, and it's a great way to dangle a treat in front of people with the older devices in order to get them to buy new ones. Thus, increasing Apple's sales.
I am suggesting that because many systems/programs/processes treat whitespace as arbitrarily reformattable content, problems can be encountered. Once the whitespace is messed up, it is difficult to put it back together again because there are no other contextual hints.
Slashdot's code tag is just one example. I've also seen Outlook chew up whitespace.
Curly braces or functional equivalents are essentially unambiguous in any context and are almost never treated arbitrarily like whitespace is.
Now try making that determination during a tense situation in the 0.25 seconds or so when the profile of whatever that guy was carrying looked somewhat like a camera with a long lens, but the rest of the time could have easily been seen as an RPG.
Aside from that, I am pretty sure I saw one AK-47, and the guy right next to him possibly had a tripod being carried with the legs extended.
The simple fact is, under the situation you have to make a determination, and the determination that is going to be made is whatever will keep your side safer. Simple as that.
Man, when I was in Basic Training we had to use KOI-18 paper tape readers to key our COMSEC gear.
They didn't tell us about any of the cool new stuff like the CYZ-10. Thankfully when I got permanently stationed we had the CYZ-10s, as I had to maintain keys on two radios and a GPS unit.
Since we love car analogies... if you are standing inside your house naked in front of a window with no blinds, curtains, or the like, did I violate your privacy when I drove by and happened to see you?
Maybe you should have thought about that before broadcasting an identifiable signal off of your property?
Under the vast majority of circumstances, if I know the MAC address of your WiFi signal, it's because I am within range and already know where you live. Running random MACs through the system does shit bit of good because it just returns random locations (and they aren't 100% accurate anyway).
The only area of concern I can think of is if you are trying to get away from someone by moving, and you set up the same wireless router at your new location.

I know of at least one place where there is a 120-mile positional error using Skyhook. It's been that way for over a year.

Yep, same as the iPod touch does. Unfortunately, Skyhook does not update very often. A wireless router I moved from one city to another well over a year ago still shows up in the old location.
Sales tax punishes poor people. Rich people can easily afford it. So unless you have some sort of sliding scale sales tax based on income, and I don't know how you would accomplish that, then it's not the right way to go.
I meant *everyone* who goes to the ER with obviously non life-threatening situations, including insured people, uninsured people, rich people, poor people, legal residents, illegal residents, etc.
And if you're confused as to how treating illegal immigrants will fail to bankrupt us, it's the same as with poor people: They already are receiving treatment, but at the ER, not at a regular doctor.
Yep, and they should be fined for each time they go to the emergency room for an obviously non-life-threatening situation.
There are people out there that insist on going to see a doctor basically every time they sneeze. Constant overuse of the emergency room should have consequences.

Oh yeah?
What ISP owns 17.0.0.0/8? In fact, how does any ISP know what other ISP is allowed to advertise that prefix or a subnet of it?
If you are going to fundamentally rework SMTP, wouldn't it be better to just develop a new protocol instead?
Well, I disagree with your presumption.

True enough.
That's not quite what I meant.

I'm liking that VX-7 from the specs. Think that's what I want for an HT.
Probably 6/2/70.
Which is precisely why using whitespace as syntax is a bad idea.
Now I am in the market for a new radio. Tri-band VHF, maybe.
Anyone have recommendations for a base, mobile, and/or handheld?
bah. Meant to say:

Rebates or prebates, as someone indeed figured out already.
ahh, a fellow Oregonian.
It's a bit more... rubbery, I guess. Hard to describe it but it's a bit more stretchy and seems to transmit friction a little better.
Try polyisoprene.
Oh, come on... do I really have to put [joke] tags or smiley faces on that to convey that it's supposed to be a humorous comment?

Let me be the first to welcome the U.K. to the 1950s!
I am going to start a group named TERRA
Terrestrial Earthlings for the Reduction of Retarded Acronyms.
Nazis! Hitler!
There, that should stop it.
