Considering that human languages follow rules that are as convoluted and transient as Calvin-ball I'd say they do an admirable job. Machine translation is really an amazing challenge.
Tom's of Maine makes a strawberry flavored kid's toothpaste. It was a little weird using a non-minty toothpaste. You could also try making your own toothpaste and giving it whatever flavor you like.
Adding support for these extra bands costs something. Either higher price, heavier, bigger, or some other feature was left out to accommodate the extra radio hardware. There are entirely legitimate reasons for HTC and Google to leave this feature out.
I got one too and I love it. I'm not at all surprised about the low sales so far though, there's been no marketing. I'm guessing they wanted to start slow to work out the kinks and once it hits Verizon they'll probably step up the marketing and it will take off.
Same deal here. I had that crappy T-Zones plan for my old RAZR which I barely used, but now that I got a Nexus One I'm suddenly glad I had it for all these years!
Good point, Pascal strings are more secure. But on the other hand the lack of protected memory and multiuser security model are less secure. I guess advantage may still be with the pascal strings, but I'm not sure.
The reason specifically mentioned in the article for Mac OS 9 being more secure was the lack of remote (or local) shell access which is what I was thinking of as a major liability for end users, at least for me.
I have an anecdote too. I got an H1N1 vaccine from my doctor and I didn't get swine flue. Therefore 100% of people I know for sure to have been vaccinated did not get sick.
1. Might work, might not. No guarantees. 2. Might work, might not. It's a good suggestion but only works at intersections without sensors under the pavement. I've been at red lights that never go green until you pull up close enough to be detected. 3 & 4. Might work, might not. Just because some times are more likely to have unsafe drivers on the road does not mean you are guaranteed to be safe from them at other times. Also, not driving is not a solution to safe driving. Well it is, but it's not always practical.
Basically, the previous posters assertion that failure to avoid an accident is always your fault is absurd. You can be a safer driver, but no matter what you do driving will never be 100% safe.
The brakes should be sufficient most of the time, as long as the brakes take priority over the accelerator when they are both engaged. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for these Toyotas.
According to this page they aren't targeting blackberry at all. They say that it's a problem that the platform is based on Java, which seems strange to me since they are working on an Android version and that is also a java based platform.
Between galaxies in a few months??? I dare say you're presuming a bit much there. Just for reference, the nearest galaxy is 2.5 million light-years away.
His guess was that the broadcasts would last for 10,000 years. So yeah, he was thinking the radio emissions would last as long as the civilization was capable of producing them.
Reading the wikipedia page further, it seems like his understanding of L is that it represented how long a technological society would be capable of broadcasting into space. So it seems like he didn't actually consider that as technology advanced civilizations would significantly reduce the amount of stray emissions. As a result his guess for L was around 10000, a few orders of magnitude off it would seem.

The URL would be t-mobile.com.

That's true, but its security comes from its limitations. Doesn't really explain why anyone would want to run Firefox on it though.
Wow, I can't believe there are people still using Mac OS 9. It was better than Windows 98, but that's about all it has going for it these days.

Do you put up with some bruising when with no air bag you would have walked away uninjured, for the possibility that it will save your life?
Yes, obviously. Is that a trick question?
Both, but the effect is the same either way.
Only for the first week or so. After a short while without getting impaled the spike would just fade into the background.

No, they did try cutting he ignition. They just didn't know that cutting the ignition required holding the power button down for 3 seconds.
That doesn't mean it isn't.
The break pedal being down at the same time should be a good clue.
The brakes should be sufficient most of the time, as long as the brakes take priority over the accelerator when they are both engaged. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for these Toyotas.
What does it matter what the default is? Put your preferred scale in your .bcrc file and be done with it.

You're right, but 25,000 light-years is still not going to be traversable in months.

The last factor in the equation is L, the length of time a civilization broadcasts radio waves into space.
