The first few flights rode up on Balls 8, but they've long since acquired and modified an L-1011 that serves as their current launch platform. More here.
According to Wikipedia, the company that became Cadillac was reorganized from the remains of the Henry Ford Company, which in turn had been reorganized from an even earlier venture known as the Detroit Automobile Company.
He didn't even do that, though he's frequently given credit (for both). The first man to use an assembly-line to build cars was Ransom E. Olds (of Oldsmobile fame) who built the Curved Dash in 1901.
Nice to see there's someone else here who knows that...was about to post the same thing, but now I don't have to do that.
Having come to the iPhone from a Treo 650 (which ran Palm OS 5.something), I'd have to disagree with that assessment. There are some quirks where Palm OS comes out ahead (why can't I assign a category to a new contact (or change the category selection) on the iPhone, but have to sync and make the assignment later in Address Book? Likewise with calendar events and iCal), but I kinda like having a nearly desktop-strength web browser instead of the woefully underpowered Blazer.
I've used Twinkle in the past...it's easy to get set up on Gentoo, at least. Nowadays, though, I normally use an ATA (more specifically, a Grandstream HT286) to connect my cordless phones to Gizmo. They're fairly cheap and don't need a computer operating in order to work.
Monoculturing any living tissue will require antibiotics of some sort. I really doubt that one can have a 100% clean factory environment for these, unless you have robots and robots to fix the robots ad-infinitum.
Breweries do a pretty good job of maintaining a clean environment for the yeast to do its job, and they've never needed robots for that purpose.
I beg to differ. Access have a viable solution if you care about your datas: Use access as a front-end to a MsSQL back-end. You have then all the power of Access as a RAD tool with the integrity of a real database.
You're stuck with VBA, though, and you need to deploy Access to every desktop that needs to use your app...hope you have a fat wallet. Knock together a webapp and you don't have to deploy anything to the desktop, except maybe a shortcut to launch it in the browser of your choice. You could even build a desktop app somewhat quickly around.NET and deploy that at zero marginal cost (the.NET Framework is free-as-in-beer, and some version of it is included with recent versions of Windows anyway). More importantly, you have access to better languages this way (I've gravitated toward C#, as it had the lowest learning curve for someone coming from a C/C++ background).
You also have a potential migration path away from Windows. The stuff I do at work is deployed to IIS,.NET Framework, and SQL Server running on Windows Server 2003, but my personal website is deployed to Apache, Mono, and MySQL running on Linux. Both are put together within Visual Studio 2008, but there are also alternatives to that (but I haven't looked into them much as VS is actually a pretty nice development environment). I'd like to see you try to do something similar with Access...you might be able to migrate your database from SQL Server to MySQL (or PostgreSQL or whatever), but you're still going to have a ton of Windows desktops running Access connecting to it.
Obama was given the award because he's been trying to build bridges and strengthen diplomatic ties between nations that have been estranged...
...at the expense of solid relationships with our long-term allies. Considering with whom our interests as a country more closely align, do you think this is a good trade? I don't. I think he has a particularly deep hate for the Brits out of some misplaced loyalty to the Kenyan baby-daddy who spawned him, but he's giving the rest of our allies the finger to varying degrees as well.
One of these cells may leave a nasty burn or blind you, but it's not going to kill you.
It's usually considered better to wound your enemy than to kill him. This isn't out of any concern for his welfare, but for the consideration that a wounded enemy ties up more enemy personnel: his buddies at first, followed by medics when they can get to him. While they're looking after him, they're not shooting at you. If you kill him outright, they can keep on shooting at you.
Its their technology, and I think.NET is a windows only thing.
Hmm...don't tell my website.NET apps only run on Windows, or it might spaz out and crash.:-)
(Development work is done on Visual Studio 2008, tested against whatever version of the.NET Framework is current (that'd be 3.5 SP1 at this time). It's deployed to a Linux VPS running Apache 2.2 and Mono 2.4. I don't currently have any database-driven code (some older parts of my site that do talk to databases were written with PHP and I haven't gotten around to rewriting them), but I made sure I could get both.NET Framework and Mono talking to MySQL...easiest way to do that was ODBC/unixODBC, as MySQL's.NET connector didn't play well with Mono last time I tried it. There was a little bit of code that needed to be #ifdef'd to deal with slight differences in behavior between.NET Framework and Mono, but I think that only comes up once or twice in my entire website.)
Or you can buy the Motorola Milestone from Europe or Canada. However, you may be stuck on 3G data(AT&T might be the right frequency, but I know T-mobile isn't).
On a recent trip to Canada, my iPhone 3G was getting 3G service from Rogers. (I paid for an international data plan first, so AT&T didn't butt-rape me on data roaming charges.) Whatever phones work with Rogers should therefore work down here with AT&T...from what I understand, they either have or had an Android phone (G1?) that would be suitable for usage here.
The last thing I want to do while on a plane is hear the person beside me yakking away.
VoIP apps are usually blocked for that reason (among others...they might want to bend you over on airphone service, but this is one case where a restriction works out well for everybody).
I guess you missed that part of your own post where you mentioned you have to jailbreak it?
As I said, jailbreaking by itself doesn't make your phone vulnerable. Apple might push that spin, but it's false.
Is there an SSH app out there?
There are several SSH clients available through the App Store. I have TouchTerm; it's fairly nice. If you jailbreak, you can install OpenSSH to get both a (command-line, accessible on the phone through MobileTerminal) client and server. SBSettings can start/stop the server once it's installed.
Jailbreaking also exposes the phone to vulnerabilities
Jailbreaking by itself doesn't do that. If you install sshd (which first requires jailbreaking) and don't bother to secure it, you have only yourself to blame if you get pwned. This applies to any system, not just the iPhone...every time I get a new Gentoo install up and running, for instance, I have to disable root logins and password logins.
This makes the truly unlimited plan on AT&T look much better by comparison. I may not be able to tether, but the plan truly is unlimited. No 5GB limit.
Jailbreaking is easy, and PDANet is cheap. My iPhone is tethered right now; I'm posting this through it.
Recording content in Myth is a direct relation to Sony v. Betamax
In more recent years at Sony, the left hand might not know what the right hand is doing, but I don't think they had this problem back in the '80s. You meant Sony v. Universal, which is colloquially known as the "Betamax case" or "Betamax decision."
How about James O'Keefe and Hanna Giles (the ACORN undercover videos)?
...or, going back a few more years, where did the story regarding fabricated Texas ANG memos used by Dan Rather and 60 Minutes to try to throw the 2004 election break? Not only did you hear about that in the blogs first, but it involved malfeasance that calls into question the credibility of the MSM.
CFL fail miserably when using X10 controllers. They seem to have some current pulse that occurs after turnoff that makes the X10 controller think you are trying to turn the light back on using the local switch. Press X10 off -- click -- light off -- click -- light on! Press off again -- click off -- click on! It's like a video game, how many times do you have to press "off" to get them to stay off, and how short can you get the 'on' times to be?
They usually work by passing the signal through the filament in the bulb. The problem here is that CFLs don't have a filament.
Sometime back around 2000 or so, I modified some X10 light switches to work with fluorescent lights. IIRC, the modification involved a bit of rewiring and the addition of a resistor. This sounds about like what I did. The modified switches worked reliably every time.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the entire world is being fucked by this here "recession".
Some countries seem to be handling it better than others, though. I just saw something earlier today about tens of thousands of new jobs each in Australia and Canada. Compare that to this...another 570k jobs down the drain. The order-of-magnitude difference is no doubt a function of our much larger population, but the difference in sign should be troubling to anybody. I wonder what the Aussies and Canucks are doing differently. I suspect they passed on the idea of having the government try to spend its way out of recession.
(Never mind all of the x86/AMD64 boxen I've pieced together over the years. The only computers I've bought that did have Windows preloaded on them were my two HP notebooks.)
I will be driving across America this coming spring (I-90, I-5, I-10, and I-95).
Those numbers suggest that you're traveling around it, not through it.:-) Still, you're probably going to hit lots of places I've never been (and a few that I have), and I've lived here nearly all my life (two years each in England and Germany back in the '80s). It sounds like fun...wish I had the time for a trip like that, as I'm guessing what you're planning would probably take at least 3-4 weeks to cover.
