New cell phones do have one saving grace, Bluetooth. There are several models on the market now that you can connect to a bluetooth PDA, and with a company like cingular you can have wireless internet for $4 a month, it just deducts from your wireless minutes.
GPS devices with Bluetooth are pretty sick too . ..
Electronic Supercharger? Sounds like something the rice-boys cooked up. An Electronic Supercharger(currently available) can only push 1.5PSI over regular, not enough to make a significant difference.
Just how would the supercharger allow the engine to run off hydrogen anyways?
But think what you could do if all your clothing had RFID tags. You could have a sensor that queries what is currently in your closet, what is in the drawers, what is in the hamper. No searching for things, no wondering.
Extend this out to food items, if you had rfid tags in the packaging of all your food items, your refridgerator and pantry could make the grocery list itself. I've seen many conversations on/. about this, and rfid tags seems like a simple way to do it.
So do what stow does. symlink everything from [appname]/bin into bin, suddenly it all works, and it doesn't even require user intervention, because the system could do it while installing the package(part of the package manager, i imagine).
If a program needs its own directory, it creates a ${PREFIX}/share/programname. It stores all data files in that location normally. The executable file, librarys and configuration files all have a specific place, but you dont need to know where your executables and binaries are(as an average user).
As for configuration files, i wish they were *all*/etc/programname/, so whenever i wanted to check program config files, i can just look at/etc, and find the apropriate folder, instead of trying to guess what the program called its config files.
The "Less than $10" is coming from the fact that it costs like, $9.95 to "add a receiver" to your current directtv bill. So for another $10 you can get an extra access cards.
On a side note, if you want to save money on directtv just split it with a few friends. We split a dishnetworks bill for pretty much everything they have across 3 different residences, which saves alot of money.
The trick is that the price of current DSL is based on the *average* user. They will have to change their contracts to show it, but what they want to punish(so to speak) are the people using 10x the bandwidth of every other customer. The price of the service is tailored to the average consumer not your power user, and the company cant afford to support the needs of the power user with the normal pricing.
It works this way basicaly:
Company buys OC3 -- 155Mb/s bandwidth
sells DSL, average download speeds of ~100Kb/sec, that only takes 1550 customers using their full bandwidth to use up, but your normal consumer will only fill this for small times when downloading large stuff . . . not that often . . . maybee 1% of the day at most.
Your power user uses that 100Kb/sec all day long, say 70%(downloading iso's while at work or sleeing, etc.) . . . that one person is using 70x more bandwidth than more than 90% of the other people. Should all the people using less bandwidth pay more to support the power users, or should the power users pay more to support themselves? From the consumer standpoint(the average consumer) it makes way more sense and makes most consumers happier to see that they arn't all paying to support that couple % that use their resources increidbly more than others.

If you read the entire post, understand it, and can get past the spelling/grammer you are an amazing person, because i cant make it all the way through reading just to check!
You can get that . . . i pay 150$/mo for 768k SDSL (768k both ways). also get 4 static ip's . . .
I used to get ADSL at 1.5Mbit up, 512k down, for 100$, but switched to sdsl because on adsl when the uploading gets near cap it *really* added to the latency. With the new line thats never a problem
I get my service from speakeasy.net, dont remember who the ADSL was from . . . was quite awhile ago.
Problem is your not compiling the same thing. To get a real comparison you would have to compile the with their.config file. At a minimum you would have to make sure you are compiling all the same drivers they are.
My VAX 4100 . . . its an older VAX machine . . . maybe it works now but when i first got it ~1.5 years ago they had supported a few things in the vax 4000 catagory, but not the 100. If the 4100 is finaly supported i'm sure they will mentions others in the vax line that dont:P
Your entire post has made no sense. You have yet to explain what exactly goes wrong, and why you cant upgrade the standard librarys. If any upgrading was done to your standard librarys those would be the upgrades that are done anyways.
The only upgrades this X install will do are packages built directly from the X source. Everything else is pulled from the woody dist.
Yes, thats right, its not going to randomly upgrade packages because it has "paradoxical dependencies", its going to upgrade everything that would have been upgraded if you ran "apt-get upgrade" anyways.
Please stop spreading FUD, or at least give a reason why these things are bad.
One more point: maintainers dont control which portion of the libs are installed in the new one and whatnot . . . I dont know how dpkg works internaly, but basicaly it wipes out the old package, and write over *ALL* the old files with files from the new package. Anything else would be non-sensical. To get your old stuff back just re-install the old package. this will wipe out the new package, and install the old one
if you have 160GB of wav files, why dont you use one of the multitude of lossless compression algorithems out there? If you prefer cross platform, open source, FLAC is what you want. If your windows only, programs like Monkeys Audio and RKAU provide slightly more compressed results. These all seem to vary from the.5 to.75 compression area, turning that 160G into more like 110G.
make no mistake, 'freedom', 'democracy' and 'rights' are talked about on television and sold at the mega-mall. When you vacation in florida, all the waiters are white (people you directly interact with), the bussboys, yard-workers, chamber-maids, etc are all cuban and black. The funny thing is its less of a race issue than it is a justified class issue - America needs to work on its systemic class issues before it should start (literally) selling its way of life abroad.
I find it interesting that all the waiters in florida are white. I live in california, which i would say probably has a similar proportion of mexicans to "whites", as florida has cubans to "whites"
The interesting thing is that i work as a waiter, and i can tell you that here it doesn't matter what color you are, the bosses dont care about that. The difference between the waiters, the bus boys, and the cooks here are that the waiters speak english. The bus boys barely know enough english for me to tell them what table to clean up. When it comes to the cooks only the head cook and maybee one or two others speak english, and whenever you need a special order you have to find them.
I dont beleive that its a "justified class issue", we have plenty of mexiacans working as waiters too. The difference is they speak english. The only class here is the "people who grew up knowing english," and those that grew up in mexico, or in a mexican part of california and never learned english(and from talking to them with the little mexican i know, most of them could care less to learn it.)
Can you run that same configuration utility AFTER you install, so you can easily modify your available resolutions if you say, get a new monitor, or just decide you want different resolutions available?
In responce to point B, you obviously dont know much about school districts. In my hometown (~250,000 people, central california) there were 3 school districts. 15 minutes south there were another 2. half an hour to the north there were at least 7. This being california a drive of 30 minutes is almost nothing for a commute:P
Hell, over summer i had an IT job were i would commute ~40miles, in 2 hours 3 days a week . . .
Actually, i saw an interesting thing before for finding that key. Never really thought about it so i dont know all the little intricate parts, but basicaly it works like this:
almost EVERY first screen in a movie is completely black.
the movie is encoded with a very specific algorithem.
So you know what you start with, you know what you end with, and you know the algorithem . . . now you brute force:P supposedly it doesn't take very long, since CSS is such a simple thing.
Its not easy to break even as an ISP, especialy if the people are getting CHEAP big bandwidth. The reason it runs ok is because most people arn't using that bandwidth all the time. Think about it, if a company payed for T3's (i dunno what the going rate is . . . 3k$/mo? thats a completely uneducated guess). thats 45Mbits of bandwidth, if everyone is alwatys using half their bandwidth thats only 120 customers on a T3 line. at 40$/mo they are only making 1800 on that T3 line. Thats hardly enough to pay the network engineer that makes it keep going, much less the entire support staff, and the money sucking black hole, umm i mean management . . .

While incredibly evil, i would think your best bet to allow different groups of people different kinds of permissions would be seperate directory structures with huge ammounts of hard-linking. Probably rather evil, but its a suggestion:P
Because of the name. Take Thielen and do some quick searches on the net for it. You can pull up a half dozen "homepages" for people with the name thielen, all white, and a page of some guy doing geneology i beleive says its from the netherlands, but i dont completely understand the language(i know a little germnan, and this is close but not quite).
their 500M dollar payment . . yes. Would this be the one that during standard price times, would have been *LESS* than 15c on the dollar? BC Hydro still made more than expected from this endevour.
According to one of the tech people i know at transmeta, they sell plenty of stuff in japan(currently there are 6 laptops released), but the companies arn't releasing them to the USA yet.
All i want to know is . . . why cant i have one?:P

Right . . . wine provides the API, but dreamcast winCE games are written for a totaly different processor:P
And we all know that RH == linux, and the businesses behind linux are the only way to rate linux, because all the people that do the actual work mean nothing.
a. Company X pays BountyQuest money to put this up
b. BountyQuest advertises $10,000 for finding prior art
c. you get 10,000, bountyquest gets whats left(prob more than 10,000), and company X gets a chance at invalidating some patent.
So, whats wrong with some company noticing that lots of companys want certain patents somehow done away with, some people want the entire patent system reformed, and just connecting the two for a piece of the pie? Seems like a decent hting to me . . .
