I'd say that PDA's and phones have quite a large overlap.
My list of phone numbers is in my PDA. If I want to call someone, I have to copy it to a phone.
Whilst on the call, I might want to book an appointment, so my diary application is needed. If the remote end could send a set of DTMF's or 1200 baud modem tones, and offer me the appointment, that would be great.
Finally, internet access over the phone would be very useful. Connect to a website to find out what's playing at the movies tonight.
Obviously entering or viewing data while using a voice phone isn't terribly easy, but with a decent design, it's not required.
This is one reason why a genuine 'audience' is going to be lower than the raw logs. Local traffic and robots aren't real traffic. I could increase the raw hits on a site to almost any level, simply by throwing a few htdig processes at it. Wouldn't mean anything though.
The ratings have been falling in direct coorelation to the increase of inclusion of "sports" such as syncronized swimming, where there is no objective standard, and instead a judge has to decide if they like what the performers are doing. Of course, the American judge never likes what the Russians are doing, and the Russian judge never likes what the Americans are doing. It's become a big game of politics, and it stinks.
Now obviously a coorelation is not a cause, but it's just one example of how the modern Olympics is no longer about how well people can run, jump throw things etc, and instead it's become a huge commerical jingoistic bribrary ridden folly.
Go back to the focus being on the athletes. Limit it to real sports that the winner can be objectivly measured. Make them the best adults in their fields. No more 14 year old kids with eating disorders too scared of their coaches to quit. Get rid of the national anthems in the medals, the national team coloured tracksuits and the country names in the scoreboards. If Michael Johnson or Alexei Nemov win it's not because they're American or Russian, it's because they are Michael Johnson or Alexei Nemov.
I still want to know how watermarked formats are expected to work.
I walk into a record store, plonk down $20 in green folding stuff, and get a shiny new CD.
I can then convert that to MP3 and no-one can tell who did it. They can tell it came from disc #1485175. They might be able to tell the store that disc was sold from, but they can't tell who bought it.
The biggest section of the CD buying public is teenage girls, who don't have credit cards, so you cannot limit purchasers to those who have credit cards.
I dunno about direct cause, but the fact that Netscape haven't done any substantial changes to their browser in over 2 years, nearly 3, is almost certainly contributing to Netscape's decline. The reason for the lack of new versions? Because all their developers are working on Mozilla.
No single ignition source of the fire was conclusively identified.
The Command Module contained many types and classes of combustible material in areas contiguous to possible ignition sources.
Coolant leakage at solder joints has been a chronic problem.
The coolant is both corrosive and combustible.
Deficiencies in design, manufacture, installation, rework and quality control existed in the electrical wiring.
These deficiencies created an unnecessarily hazardous condition and their continuation would imperil any future Apollo operations.
The Command Module Environmental Control System design provides a pure oxygen atmosphere.
This atmosphere presents severe fire hazards if the amount and location of combustibles in the Command Module are not restricted and controlled.
The only mention I can find of velcro in the whole report is when velcro straps burn, but this is some 15 seconds after the start of the fire, so they're obviously not the cause.
Some have lots of room within the ball compartment, so if gravity isn't pulling the ball to the hole, the ball falls (or floats) away. Other designs have a tight ball compartment, so they're not affected.
(Hope this message isn't filtered as pr0n, with all this talk of tight balls)
The way to win is wait until it's in hardware, THEN hack it.
If DVD's & CSS were just software, then no-one would care that it was hacked. Hundreds of games have had their protection broken, and no-one has ever been sued over that. However, in order to put a new version of protection code means replacing all the existing players, either meaning an expensive recall, or pissing off the existing customers, and no-one is prepared to make either move.
when you look at a piece of code you either know from a set of very simple rules what it does,
The simple rule for perl is that a sub without an argument operates on $_ unless otherwise specified. Therefore, as given in the example, "chomp" operates on $_, while "chomp $thing" operates on $thing. Some subs do not operate on scalars, and others require more than one argument, so these subs must be called with the appropriate paramaters, however is is very natural in programming. You know that 'rename' requires two paramaters, so you have to supply them both.
At least, if you don't like this behaviour, you can get C like required paramters by simply adding in the parameter on each sub call, "chomp $_" is identical to "chomp". My least favourite disfeature of python, it's syntaxly important indentation is impossible to avoid.
That's assuming that you use your credit card etc.
I buy stuff using cash. Even in the bookstore where I usually buy 3 - 4 books a week, where the clerks recognize me, and ask me how my injury is healing, I don't get the discount card which would save me 10% every time.
If you want to have privacy, you have to protect it.
I must have missed one, however, that sounds like an interesting exploration of short person culture, rather than an explotation of his height. Seinfeld did explore other aspects of culture, for example Jerry's discomfort at his (Jewish) dentist making Jewish jokes.
In particular, in 1979 it wasn't possible to place a controller inside a R2D2 sized body. Therefore, it had to be radio controlled. However, interference meant that it was not reliable enough to do much more than scoot around from place enough.
Most of the shots with a 2 wheel mode R2D2 in the earlier films are using a model, while most of the 3 wheel mode shots are with Baker inside.
There are SOME good roles for short people. I don't recall any particular use of Danny Woodburn's height playing Micky Abbott on Seinfeld. He was just one of Kramer's friends.
If he was the one pulling the strings, he was the leader. Most countries in the world don't have democratically elected leaders, including quite large & prosperous ones.
What happens if someone pays cash. That means that they can't trace it back. As a large number of CD's are bought by people who are too young to get a credit card, I can't see them insisting that you pay with one.
I see no reason why micropayments would be compulsary even if they were available. Pay per view has not killed non-ppv tv, because the TV stations realize that even if people are prepared to pay $30 for a sports event, or $5 for a movie, they're not prepared to pay even $0.25 for friends.
I'm sure that if micropayments were available in a generally accepted way, then only those sites which would benefit from them would adopt them, and other sites would remain on either free or subscription basis.
I don't see how it's any different to us making species go extinct in the first place. We already effectivly decided (En mass, not individuall) to eradicate the passenger pidgeon, dodo and others. There are other species which have gone extinct because we carelessly upset their enviroment, and we're apparently doing the same to other species, including the great apes, and other species, including Bison & birds of prey, have come back from the brink of extinction by our deliberate actions to protect them.

In general, the longer series go on, the worse the movies get. Look at the IMDB's Bottom 100 and see how many have 2, 3 4 or more in the title.

Of course, 1 & 2, and to a certain extent 3, should be followed for ALL projects, outsourced or handled in house.

The judge in the Bernstein case was right, code is speech. If it's not, how else could you sing it?
