Are you willing to pay a subscription fee for all content?
Funny, I already pay a subscription fee for my cable TV. And yet there's still commercials.
If all else fails, they could just go back to program sponsorship like the old days... "Tonight's episode of 24 is brought to you by Gillette!" or "Tonight's episode of The Bachelor is brought to you by Trojan Condoms!"
We detect the presence of black holes at galactic centers by observing the stars whirling around said galactic center at high rates of speed, right? All those stars whirling around have mass, therefore, gravity. Other stars moving around, maybe not as near to the galactic center, also have gravity. All this movement and such may attract, due to gravitational pull, a cloud of gas somewhere nearby. Slowly it gets pulled by the stars' gravity, until it gets into the gravitational pull of the black hole. Quasar'd!
I've used it on an N810 with the built-in GPS, before mine arrived through the post. Its quite usable.
I agree with your sentiments about the 770->800 transition. I bought a 770 not too long after they came out, and still used it up until I bought the 810 in December 2007. I wasn't very happy with Nokia for basically abandoning the 770 so soon. Which is why I didn't buy the 800. I just couldn't pass up the slide-out keyboard on the 810. Very handy!
You know, debris clouds of explosions or collisions can, and do, radiate in 3 dimensions. Maybe going to the moon is a little far fetched, but I could imagine that debris generated moving into other orbital planes.
How about instead of arguing with each other over who is less corrupt, why don't people realize that republicans and democrats ARE BOTH AMERICAN!!! YOU ARE ON THE SAME TEAM!!!
You're right! Both parties are equally corrupt and are on the same team! And that team is the "Screw the American Citizen" team.
I suck at guitar, but I happened to be at a guitar store that had one of the VGs with a friend who's a pretty good player. He noodled around with it, and after a while put it back on the rack and said "We're leaving." I asked him why once we were outside, and he said it was because if we didn't leave immediately, he was going to start talking price with the salesman.
I'd say that's a pretty good endorsement right there. It really did sound good, especially in 12-string mode. The major problem is that the salesman said they have a hard time keeping fresh batteries in them at the store. They just wear down too quick.
They may as well be different companies for all practical purposes.
I may not be the only one, but they should be separate companies. That way there's no pressure from the media division onto the tech division to build in some crap DRM or other "protection" technology, and we'll go back to getting cool products from Sony.
Why not start with violation of oath, and have them kicked out of office? I mean, the oath they take says something about "upholding the Constitution", right? Then we can move on to other things like treason. Get them out of office first.
Sadly, few press outlets covered our grand opening. Looking back I suspect there were probably many contributing factors.
I did a search for anything here on the/. and, other than this article, nothing came up. I guess that not even/. wanted to cover a new (and rather interesting) online music store.
To make matters worse they resort to legal nasty grams and censorship to try and suppress the evidence of their incompetence which makes them look all the more the fool.
Wait, who are you talking about here? The RIAA or MediaDefender?
It's often a meaner existence for programmers who work for non-software companies like financial or logistics firms--they're viewed as a "cost," not a revenue stream.
Sadly, its like that at my current job. Would you like to stage a coup at my employers?
All 2001 jokes aside... seriously. When can I purchase a DAVE? Either from Seagate or from whatever branding company contract they have set up. Jeeze, I want some awesome bluetooth storage for my Nokia 770! I can store lots of music and video and stuff, perfect for when I travel. I did some searching and couldn't find anything related for sale... Stop showing it off and start selling it!
Just sell it to me already! I can't even get one of those BluOnyx things yet either.
Hopefully, somebody will respond by saying "Hey, you can buy one here" and I can go on with being modded down.
The article did say he'd been doing the same thing for 3 months before the theft occurred. It's not like that was the one and only night he took the tapes home in that manner.
That may be so, but I was mainly making a generic comment about most of the "stolen laptop" or "lost laptop" stories we see here on Slashdot. It seems that the one time somebody takes home a laptop with sensitive data on it, it gets stolen.
Who the hell would send an intern out with backup tapes anyway? Makes no sense. Is that their offsite storage procedure? Send the tapes home with an intern, and hope he brings 'em back? Reading the PDF report, that turns out to be exactly what their procedure was...They even had it in their disaster plan, which makes me think it was more disaster and less plan. What the hell? Does the state of Ohio have so few buildings that they have to send the tapes home with people?
Part of me always thinks some of these stories are really fishy...
I mean, he tells the intern to take the tapes home, but bring them back tomorrow. Which is pretty stupid in its own right, but let's throw a little conspiracy angle in. The consultant sells the data on the tapes, but he just can't hand it over, so he tells an intern to take these tapes home and bring them back tomorrow. Tapes get stolen, consultant's deal goes off, the buyer gets his data, and it becomes an everyday incident of "My car got broken into and everything was taken!"
People take laptops home for one night and it gets stolen, and it just so happens to have a million people's information on it. Over and over. I realize that things need to be encrypted, but still... the conspiracy angle dictates that not encrypting the data in these cases is the goal.
Why the focus on track forecast errors in landfalling situations, when QuikSCAT was widely known to be used in intensity forecasting and for tropical cyclones too far at sea to be accessed by the Hurricane Hunters?
The two longest-lived storms during the test period were Fabian and Isabel, storms that spent the majority of their lifetimes far away from land. Since the quality of the observing network increases close to land, particulary when reconnaissance data from the Hurricane Hunters is available, it is reasonable to conclude that the impact of the QuikSCAT data for storms within 72 hours of landfall would be less than for the sample as a whole.
(emphasis mine)
The satellite is mainly used when low pressure areas are forming out in the Atlantic. Reading forecasts will say something along the lines of "satellite data has indicated that surface wind speeds are above 35mph, so we're calling this Tropical Storm Bob". As a storm gets closer to land, forecasters get access to more (and better) data through Doppler radar, Hurricane Hunters, etc.

We'll see where it goes from here.
If you use one of the Nokia internet tablets, try Maemo Mapper.

The delay gives me that much more time to actually find a store around here that has a Wii in stock.

What kind of shitty pub is BYOB? Somebody needs to invent Interbeer.
And pardon me while I grammar nazi a bit, but it seems you should have said "We're like a pub..."

That brings me back... I actually do remember when Suck was cool. I was very sad when they closed up shop.

From what I can read, this phone won't have 3G either.
That's all well and good, but it would violate my patent for "Method for Use of Appendages to Communicate Methods and Ideas".
I've worded it so broadly, it even covers posting comments to
Stevie Ray Vaughan was also self-taught on the guitar.
Food for thought.

A pretty good idea, but will the patent office see it that way?
