What if an American was arrested in China for giving a presentation? CNN would bring us constant coverage, complete with special graphics and a musical theme.
I always assumed it was because of a sort of heat exchange loop. The hot air rises, goes out the gap at the top, and cold air blows the curtain in at the bottom.
I've used a Psion Series 3a for years. I've tried (and own) a Series 5, a WinCE palmtop, and a Palm IIIc. None of them were as easy to use and reliable as the Psion Series 3. 512k goes a long way on those machines.
I often wished someone would buy out that OS (SIBO?) and run with it like Symbian did with Epoc. Update it to run on newer processors, support Compact Flash, add a TCP/IP stack, etc. Build me a palmtop with that OS and a metal version of the Series 3 case and I'd even pay over $500 for it.
Actually, where I work it's used as a supplement to e-mail and phone calls, particularly for offsite people, especially those that are offsite. Sure beats the price of an international call and it's quicker than e-mail. Plus, while you're chatting with your boss, you can go take a leak without him knowing you were gone. (Or for the sickos out there, do other stuff.)
Both of my previous companies had nightmares where their source code repositories were corrupted. (In one case the disk filled up, not sure about the cause of the other). Hours and hours of downtime, lost code, and lost confidence in the repository were pretty painful hits.
I've never seen a sysadmin look as sick as when the guy on the support line told him (on speakerphone in front of the VP-Operations) that he wasn't going to be able to recover the code database and would have to restore from the previous backup.
So what repository software was this? Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.
Microsoft just doesn't code with a mission-critical mindset.
RealProducer (the real one, not the free "Basic" version) includes an editor that lets you crop media files, merge two files and a few other basic things. It currently lists for $149 on their web site.
Yahoo! started offering a similar service several weeks ago (Yahoo! Buzz Index). Since they use Google, I suspect this is just Google's search data reformatted. I've watched it for a couple weeks now and seems semi-random.
Yahoo! News also keeps track of the most e-mailed, most viewed, etc. stories and photos. I'm not sure this URL will work for everyone, but it's http://news.yahoo.com/h/mt/?u. To me this is more interesting than the Buzz Index. The most-emailed stories are usually News of the Weird stuff or Darwin Award nominees. The most e-mailed pictures are usually either the latest Brittany Spears/Jennifer Lopez cleavage shot, some cute fuzzy animals, or George W. looking at the Polish first lady's cleavage.
I liked the "mythology" episodes that advanced the store and some of the standalone episodes. What I didn't like was how the grand plot kept twisting in ways that made no sense. It really made me wish that someone had mapped out a five-year plot for the show. I also got sick of seeing two "mythology" episodes that built up to something, then some crappy standalone episode the next week.
If there is a mistake, well, you should have used the Preview button!
Yes I should have.
Yahoo's mail does let you set up filters. They aren't too sophisticated, but if you have a short (<15) list of email addresses you want to receive mail from, they can handle it.
I bought it at a flea market from a dealer, along with a disk drive, which I was told was needed to make the sale legal.
Like you said, you bought an OEM copy. The reason it was cheap is that the OEM (aka the redneck selling Win98 from the back of his station wagon) has agreed to provide the support. Go chase him down.
Mini mags are disgustingly heavy. Get a plastic LED light. By the way, somewhere I read a study that said C cells had the best energy:weight ratio. That doesn't help much when almost everything takes AA cells though, unless you duct tape together an external C cell battery pack for your Palm.
...no simulator can really account for the weirdness of humans and other various calamaties.
Yes they can. They just need to code it. Wargames have done some of this for decades.
Special ops guys train this way ("ok, what happens if this breaks", "ok, what happens if half the team breaks their legs landing", "what happens if the chopper isn't there in time?", etc.)
They can't simulate the unexpected, but that's why it's unexpected.
The Logitech Cyberman 2 (http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/cyber2.cfm is ok. I've got one and used it a few times. But for me it doesn't work any better than the plain old Quake style mouse-look movement. 4 keys to move and a mouse (or trackball in my case) to look up and down and rotate. Works better than any expensive controller.
The F.C.C. always has a hard-on to catch these guys.
Not really. In my area, three pirate stations were raided all on the same day a few years ago. One operated from a very well-known location and got a lot of publicity. Heck, that station even had it's own remote truck, complete with the hydraulic mast. They were rumored to be cutting into the listener base of a local rock station. The FCC doesn't have the resources or desire to chase down every AM/FM pirate, especially ones that don't generate a lot of complaints.
Mobitex is generally a worse deal than CDPD. If local cell companies have it, CDPD is 19.2, usually priced as unlimited, uses TCP/IP, and has a larger number of base stations (located on regular cell towers). Mobitex tends to have only a few towers in a town (located much higher though), have worse coverage, and uses something other than TCP/IP (though you can add TCP/IP on top of it).

How scriptable is Photoshop?
Pretty scriptable.
You can even (at least on 6.0 for Windows) generate a.exe from an Action (think macro) that you can use from a shell. I haven't explored all the options with it, but it looks pretty strong.

Just put one of those stickers on the driver's side of your car. "Warning, this car under audio/video surveillance."
Whoopdee f-ing do. If this is the sole concession they have to make to win "The Browser War", they'll take it. Heck, any company would take that deal.
Can I get Internet Explorer added to my Add/Remove Programs menu? That way I might be able to roll back to a prior version that worked.

I've used thier opt-out link a couple of times, but still get the popup ads for X10.
Same here. I opted out two days ago and I get the pop-under at least twice a day. Same browser, same cookie set, same IP. What's up with that?

What's next for the Vásquez family? A wireless internet connection so they can further change their lives by watching the Big Brother 2 live feeds?

If you're going to rerun the same story every day this week, Tampa has much better uses for cameras.
Ok, I give up. Where'd you find a SCSI keyboard, monitor or mouse?
