We all know people who drive cars and we all know people who have been in accidents.
We also all know people who own and use iphones, not as many but enough that if this was in any way frequent we would know about it. Maybe it does explode sometimes but what at what point does it become a threat? How does it compare to other similar smartphones?
You would think that the secure part would be the scanner where only REAL biometrics can be input(fingerprint from a finger, not a printed paper) and matches to "public key" biometrics on file.
I don't have any personal experience with it but from what I hear it seems trivial for both an individual or a company to simply declare bankruptcy and start over from an almost clean slate.
I think the real problem is not with having too many different way to pay for something. The problem is the lack of consequences to people who live on credit.
I'm not saying that banks should be allowed to send out goons to break your legs but it definitely should not be so easy to declare bankruptcy and banks should do their part by being more strict with credit cards and limits.
Unless I was unable to find a laptop that does what I need to do with a computer I don't see why I would go with a desktop. The price/performance difference is not what it used to be.
I could almost get away with using just my phone and a bigger screen and full size keyboard since most of what I do is ssh,email and web.
Those 100+ years train has a lot of maintenance done on them. Broken computer parts don't get repaired; they get replaced.
I think anything that can last 3-5 years 95% of the time should be sufficient. Hard drives are almost there but they still fail and most people don't do frequent backups.
Or maybe just the idea around like they will do with the 2010 plug-in hybrid Prius. You charge the car from the home electricity and can drive some 40-60km on a charge. If you ever need to go further there is a gas engine to recharge the batteries. Best of both worlds.
I'm thinking that hybrid technology will change substantially over the next years and this will probably mean that all those hybrids will take a sharp drop in resale value.
I expect hybrids to become almost obsolete once we see the first plug-in hybrids on the market. Especially in places where electricity is cheap.

This is why I'm staying with firefox for now. But faster page load and isolated threads for JAVA/javascript content really would be nice to have.
It's the old engineers vs management debate on who gets to make the decision. Seeing as both cost and speed are on the engineer's side I don't see why management would be against.
oh wait I know
Because it will make them look like they have been wasting time and money and they would rather waste even more money while looking like they are not.
I'm an Oracle DBA and have direct access to all that data, No backdoors needed, no auditing of what I look at.
I have had some investigation done on me when I was first hired but that was AFTER they agreed to hire me and no fingerprints were involved. They just looked in the databases of the provincial and federal agencies to make sure I was not a criminal.
Or any other protocol. As long as I can take a show I recorded on my PVR and send it to the computer to burn it on DVD. I don't want to buy a standalone DVD burner just for the shows I want to keep.

Is this a serious publication with an unfortunate name or a journal that promotes creationism?
Very close to what I was thinking. Perfectionists choose not to multitask.

Is this the same as a pelletier effect? I hate fans and definitely would pay a premium to get rid of them.

Why not use income taxes for services that apply to everyone like education and health?
I agree that other things like road maintenance should be taxed on products like gas.
I am Canadian so taxing the income is just normal to me.
I was hoping for it and it is finally there but just on the 2.4ghz version. IF I had to buy a laptop today that would be it. Or a cheaper MB air.
"38 percent said it had a "negative impact""
What about the other 62%? Was it all good impact?

Ideally yes but is'nt stopping everything a too radical solution to the problem of poor planning?
This is already how it mostly works in Canada(not step 4). I think it is a good step but it is not a perfect solution.

For most personal users one DVD will fit everything they need. If they have a big photo collection maybe re-burn all DVDs yearly.
I used to backup to CDROM. Now I back up to DVD. I'm sure something else will come out in the future.
You are thinking of the wrong concept. The 23K years event is the "preseance des equinoxes". No idea what it's called in english.

The Audis werent that bad because it was part of the story. The shoes were definitely a distraction.
Maybe they could have done some more QA on the ground. Why fix when you can prevent?
Really. Let's test this. Try hitting Ctrl-Esc-E to open explorer...
Does'nt work. You need the windows key to do it in one step. The original poster was right.
