The N900 is a limited success *despite* Nokia's best effort, just like the "NIT"'s before it. I mean come on, the firmware has bugs that are 2 generations old and still stewing. Development for the device is a joke since it was ( last I checked ) still basically tied to running debian or ubuntu on your development system unless you wanted to use Python.
I have developed for the N810 and was sponsored by Nokia to the first Maemo conference. What I saw and heard lead me to the conclusion that it was a dead-end without partners. MeeGo *might* change my view if they can finally bring a mainstream success to the table without the continued alienation of their development community.
I think what GP was trying to say is what if the malware has altered the the reported amount of memory in the system and is now hiding in the chunk that neither the bios nor the OS believes exists?
How about hiding in any number of IO mapped chunks of memory like the BIOS or Video Ram?
"You do realize that in the US more children get sick from the polio vaccine than from the actual disease."
That is hard considering US use of the Oral Polio Vaccine was discontinued in 2004 and even then it was not recommended unless the patient in question was at risk because it's known to carry a tiny risk. IVP has been the recommended way to receive the vaccination which has no significant risk except as an egg allergen.
Illegal as hell under FCC rules since this would would be an unlicensed device intentionally disrupting a licensed service. At least that's my reading, the device might as well be a DoS for legitimate users within the range of the device.
This is especially true with US "Security Theater" since the line for security is usually the longest in the airport. I have personally been in lines that are 1.5 hours long with hundreds of travelers and those lines are becoming ever more common with each new security measure they tack on.
In the UK possession of a firearm is a crime. He found a shotgun, held on to it for 24 hours, called the police but didn't tell them what he was bringing in, took public transportation with a loaded shotgun, showed up at the station, and plonked an illegal weapon on the front desk. He was an idiot and he will probably face some jail time for his ineptitude. He should have left the crime scene undisturbed and called the police. The UK police have dealt with other situations and even had citizens take possession of firearms when they were in dangerous locations ( playground ) and there were no charges in those cases.
Agreed this is a nebulous and arbitrary change to an existing contract. It very well may have been "user damage" but Apple was using a crappy BS excuses like OSHA and biohazard.
I have seen this herd mentality before in stores when I was turned down for dust in my LCD panel of my MBP because of it's *obviously* environmental. I asked several time because this was a pre-unibody model. The LCD is factory sealed and the techs and managers agreed that that was true, but still insisted that it was user damage. The unit was in otherwise pristine condition.
So I don't trust everything Apple has to say about warranty work. I plan on using a 3rd party Apple repair center in the future since they are more than happy to do the work and bill Apple.
The subpoena was for traffic and that would cover both the readers, commenter, and journalists reading and posting on that day. Besides being overbroad on it's face the gag order is clearly unconstitutional. Even if it didn't have the gag and was more specific 1st amendment privilege could be used to defend the "doe's" against the unreasonable release of their stored information unless they targeted non-protected speech.
CfC was a failure because it was approximately 15% efficient ( Rebates $4/k vehicle, actual cost to the govt $24k/vehicle ). For every dollar that was used in rebates, another 7 was overhead and other services that did not improve the economy. It was a huge cash giveaway with little, if any, long term positive benefit for the economy.
This is good science. It gives experimental research a direction to look in. If they find the same result it will validate this computer model, if they still can not the computer model needs to be thrown out or reworked. There will always be differences between theory and experiment, this is probably just one of those cases.
It may not matter though, with the number of people that can not differentiate between theory and reality this may stop terahertz scanning dead since people are dumb and panicky when it comes to crap like this. People still think WiFi or cell phones can give you cancer. Better yet, most people can't even tell you the difference between a tumor and cancer and use the terms interchangeably.
It is also postal policy to clean up after a breakdown in machinery. This often requires them to piece the mail back together and put it into a new pouch for mailing and readdress it. Often times the content of the original mail is visible. This is no different than the trusted administrator needing to directly examine the occasional mailbox to fix a disruption in service.
Open access is just a short term solution at best, a sham at worst; as long as the media conglomerates own and operate the "last mile" infrastructure they will always have a competitive advantage in delivering services. Open access works best in those other counties because the delivery system is often owned by the govt or a non-profit, not someone who is competing with others to provide service.
A hardware X-Ray "circuit breaker" that would physically trip the power to the CT scanner if levels are exceeded? Not a bad idea. I would also require a monthly/quarterly test of the equipment by intentionally running it slightly over it's rated threshold.

Bad summary. 1B gals/year is quotes in the article.
Maybe thats just me.

The N8 that will ship soon is slightly different hardware wise, and vastly improved software wise.
Color me skeptical; what are the chances this is not another overpriced "flagship" POS from Nokia?

School is reporting that it's a "phone home" feature activated for suspected stolen or missing laptops. This kid and his parents are full of it.
All three of you presume she is human to begin with.

In different parts of the country, like Florida, they have traffic lights in a horizontal orientation.

$200 and should drive a 22" monitor no problems, can't confirm PXE bootable, but with 160GB HD it should be easy enough to load up a netboot stack.
Not really.

Disgusting is not a legal reason to void a legal contract.

Not necessarily. "Pre-eisting condition" means ANYTHING in your hisotry that may make you at higher risk.
Were you raped and put on anti-virals just in case, no coverage for the pre-existing condition of 'possible aids'.
Had some interesting test run in the past few years, no coverage for the unknown chance you pose.
Need glasses, no or higher coverage for your pre-existing eye condition of eye problems.
Diabetic, you are out of luck for your needed supplies.
Pre-existing condition is currently used as a blanket denial for anything they decide, in their own discretion, might pose a risk to their profits.

Right, because providing police for free protective services ( police ) increases crime. Providing better fire protection encourages fires.
Universal Health Care is a profit loosing scenario, that is a fact. The market can not provide a solution to a problem that is not profitable.

So make companies "buy in" to patent protection. Default is 2 years and for 5 million/year they can buy up to another 8 years of protection.

Moron, the iPhone has a built in flash block ( aka, it doesn't support flash ).

There is argument, but it's still an order of magnitude higher than this tripe.
