Reminds me a bit of Swype though watching the video, it seems like it would be slower than Swype.
I'll probably try it out though. My anticipation is that I would need to learn the positions of all the letters to know how many sectors to cover for each. Counting them on the fly would really slow it down. And then there would be those words I'd hate because they involved lots of swirls. Like how we hated people with 9s in their phone numbers during the days of rotary phones.
Yeah- it's fitting. I'm playing a game on my phone, watching the baseball play-offs and trying to post at the same time. But I still feel better having vented.
It's not the first photo of a human. This was on boing boing a couple days ago. Probably digg, reddit, and who knows where else too. There is a dageurreotype by Daguerre from 1838 with a person in it.
It's o.k. to be a couple days behind on this stuff, but dang, to still be repeating this that were shown to be incorrect a while back is sad.
It's become a cruel joke on the XDA forums for the Vibrant. Waiting on 2.2 which has been coming any minute now ever since it came out. I don't want to even think about how long it is before I'll see 2.3
I don't think you need the SDK - just connect to a pc with usb, and copy the file over and then install on the phone with a file browser. I find it easier to install with the sdk as I can do it from a shell, but most people would probably be more comfortable taking the other route.
It covers up to 90k a year, but it's worth checking on where you are going. Some countries will require you to pay their income tax while you are a resident. That could end up being quite a bit higher than the US taxes I think. And if I'm not mistaken the 90k exemption is just on income tax not some of the other things like social security - so the US will still be getting a piece. I'm no accountant but that's my rough understanding.
I'd guess that it varies from place to place, but when I participated in sports in highschool, I payed for it. I never took gym/phys. ed. classes - they were a total waste of time and I had more important stuff to study. But I'd argue I learned a lot of important lessons on the track and cross country teams. On my own time and dime. Not sure how anyone could have a problem with that.
I have friends now with kids involved in sports at their schools and they shell out quite a bit to do it. My niece plays in her highschool band and also has to come up with a lot of cash.
That's the way I had it when I was in Chiang Mai and Bangkok this spring. Absolutely delicious. Going back in the fall and looking forward to that and many other great foods.
I tried to watch it from here in Orlando, but too many clouds were in the way. Went back inside and watched the feed - very impressive.
As a kid I dreamed that I might one day visit the moon, or maybe even mars. That's not going to happen, but hopefully somebody will get it all worked out in time for my grand-kids maybe.
You need to try sticky rice with mango - my mouth started watering as soon as I saw the title for this story just thinking about it. Sticky rice is for a lot more than sushi.
I'd been under the impression that other issues at the Cape had pushed it further back and I'd miss it. If they can hit either of these dates I'll be able to watch it.
The last Atlas launch I got to watch was very impressive. Not quite like a shuttle launch but still cool.
Good times. A privateer gorby, some cloaked ships towing in victims. So much fun. I remember picking up copies of Computer Shopper to get phone numbers for local bbs's that hosted games and even a meet up with other players from one of them. I think it was the first PC game I played with human opponents.
It's been a while and like I said, I work for a larger org, so I didn't have to look at it too long to know it wasn't for us. I'd have to go back and check it out. But once someone is into the kind of software the original post mentions I think they are using a feature set that may go beyond what CiviCRM offers. I'm on the CiviCRM mailing list and keep watching them but to my knowledge there is still a certain point where there's a lack of good FOSS solutions.
To be fair, when I joined the organization I work for I was on the DBA team, taking care of an Oracle RAC environment on AIX for our Peoplesoft systems. I haven't done a lot of work with the smaller stuff - I'm used to things that are considered enterprise level.
I work for a large non-profit. We use Peoplesoft with Goldmine and we are moving to Siebel for the donations/fund development systems I think. I'm out of that side now. Outside the US for our smaller offices we use home grown stuff.
I'm curious if there are too many people here with hands on with both these packages, it seems a pretty niche type thing to have worked with either. But maybe I'm wrong.
There's a desktop CRM solution - TntMPD that has been extended out to support larger endeavors. It's Free as in Beer - not FOSS though. I use it, (I raise the funds that cover the cost of my employment myself) and I couldn't imagine life without it. So I thought I'd throw that out there for anyone that might be interested in the general topic. I wouldn't use if it for an organization system, but it works very nicely to extend data out to the people doing the actual fund development. We don't do central fund raising so we've got thousands of people doing that.
I wonder what it would take to tweak a FOSS solution to fit this need. It would be fun and just looking at the pricing on the two options you've linked, I would think it could be profitable to build and support it.

so we should start coding in Chinese?
Seems easier to spell words with a small set of symbols than to learn a new symbol for every item in a huge set of terms.
You're mistaken there. I was watching CSI and visible-light microscopy-level zooming is nothing.

I thought we just resolved this in the last story. Vint Cerf invented it and the lawsuits are his fault.
If you can set up your own SyncML server, then there are clients for pretty much all the major phone platforms.
Google is of course your friend. You could start by looking at stuff like Synthesis AG, SyncEvolution and Funambol.
Oh - then it's this you'll be wanting.
your browser doesn't have that?

I still have mine

That's why it would make a good project to fork and build into something designed for this use.
I would think it would make a good base to build on.
I understand that there isn't a great FOSS solution out there right now - but I think the pieces are out there to build one. That's all I'm saying.
