for the most part, but social engineering always works. Our mail almost always comes within an hour timeframe. It wouldn't take much for someone to sit on my porch and smoke a cigarette until the mail comes. The mailman would gladly hand it to someone who looked like they lived there. You then avoid the messing with a mailbox charge and the clank of incoming mail. We have a mailbox on the porch- not a street box- I imagine it would be easier to steal from a street box- though 'more' illegal.
Not all. I have a standard, regional, plan from US Cellular (www.uscc.com) and incoming messages are free. I'd freak out having an email address available for SMS otherwise. Someday, some spammer or jerk would get me a billion dollar phone bill in about 45 seconds.
don't be- no withdrawals- I was trying to be nice and add additional thought.
I still think the system is something that will waste taxpayer dollars and agency resources. Additionally, regardless of how many checks and balances are in place at the start, the system (a massive waste of resources and money) will be abused. An inefficient system can still yield positive results, but at what cost and how long will it be before those results are abused.
As president of General Motors, it is my responsibility to inform GM owners that as a direct result of the declining image of our company, all GM vehicles must be removed from the road as they represent the image of GM and serve to tarnish it further. All designs are copyright by GM, and as such, we reserve the right to recall all vehicles. Therfore, I hereby do revoke usage rights of all GM vehicles and properties on behalf of the shareholders and the board of directors. If you have a driveable GM vehicle in your possesion, you are required immediately to drive it over the nearest bridge or into the nearest cement wall at a speed of no less than 60 miles per hour in order to ensure destruction. Note that we are not responsible for lost wages or medical expenses. Thank you for your mandatory, but appreciated, compliance. Together, we can mitigate the damage to the company's image.
I'm nobody special- but admittedly am a little big-brother phobic in this day and age-- things just seem to be going the wrong direction and I am at least a little careful about new tools that may speed up the slide to an orwellian world, especially when we're supposed to pay for this 'privilege'.
There are almost always to check any new tool, what I fear is a few years down the road when the checks get removed in the interest of 'emergencies' or expediency.
A long time ago, they required a working miniature of everything and kept them all in a warehouse. There's a guy buying up all of them and has a museum.
I'd say the FBI having to do that kind of a check would count as a false positive and a waste of resources. The phones will cost us, the FBI's time will cost us and we'll get one real hit in 10,000,000 if we're lucky. Great plan!
There -are- other, legal, sources of radiation, especially in the scientific community. This is a horrible idea that passes the costs on to the end user for no benefit and oodles of false positives. What could go wrong?
The almighty buck. One less prong in the cable plug, one less wire in the cable, less real estate in the laptop recepticle, and I hate to suggest it, but possibly they like the increased probability that youll need a replacement power jack since it is less sturdy from having one less pin.
best idea i've seen. I could care less if people can buy votes- i'd rather have the accountability/adutiability- we can always prosecute a candidate or organization that is buying votes and have real proof.
I don't want my car running either necessarily. I'd be happy with a custom or realtime os that doesn't do plug and play, or anything it doesn't need to be doing or supporting. It all depends on whether you count some of the real-time unixes as linux.

how did you determine how much video memory was in use? is there a generic tool for that?
At first my mind went to the Muppet Show thing mahna mahna.. same word sounds.
I guess they didn't want to call it Jails?

"the NPD Group this afternoon reinforced that sales results from a single week do not necessarily indicate a trend"
true, but the format is on its way out. People have been waiting for a sign of which way to go, and now they have it. The rumor is out.

Last I looked, it was $450 if you only wanted ONE OLED key and still $1500ish if you wanted all of the OLEDs.

Do peltiers still suffer from occasional reversals where the sides flip cooling/heating?

wasn't the virgin story covered here some time ago?
from the original post:
* Allow pickup of groceries or other goods without you being present
so yes, i did make that assumption, but you do have a valid point.
