Has been around for a long time, and stuff. Transit route finder sites aren't anything new or unique. The fun thing about google's stuff is that its user friendly and works with one query, not 50 boxes to fill in.:)
Yeah, target has them for $5 off (25% off) per tub this week, we grabbed three. Quatro, Duplo, and original LEGO.:)
Look here
We ended up with all limited edition 50th anniversary tubs, too!
Hell, my wife was very surprised that they've just about singled out boys for LEGO sets now -- girl oriented LEGO sets no longer exist. She grew up on this stuff and now she can't buy them for her niece. We wont give our niece the sets we've got since uh, we need them for our kids! (hopefully in the future)
LEGO needs to get rid of this insane brand-everything-with-something (Harry Potter, STAR WARS, FERRARI, etc) and get back to the basics. Include both genders. Give a stupid amount (20~) ways to put the blocks together in each set.
The current Vikings and other things are not a replacement for the original Castle gear, that stuff wasn't so gender-oriented, either (and I'm guessing it was what my wife was expecting).
Well, many universities have labs full of these machines. I've replaced over 40 motherboards so far. Imagine that with overnight shipping and return shipping costs, too. Not cheap!
The fun part is that you don't even know who makes the SRB, Alliant Techsystems. They've got a huge amount of lobbying, it sounds, into this project of using the shuttle boosters and apollo-style capsules.
They probally don't mind whats attached, as long as its their rockets.
... that I bought a Nikon Coolpix 5700 rather than a sony or a minolta! Yay!
My DV cam is on the list though, grmbl. Hopefully they fix it if/when it breaks. Haven't used it in like, oh, six months, so no idea if its working or not, either.
Just look at Ubuntu. It is an evolution of Desktop Linux, is closely tracking Gnome, and is defiantely not trying to be a Windows-Work-A-Like.
Hardware support (Totally Rad Laptop Support!) is also greatly improved.
For someone who actually works with Desktop Linux every day in a reasonably large (~300 computer) installation, it has improved hands down. Applications are getting better and third parties
332.4 Subd. 5a. [CRIME OF ELECTRONIC USE OF FALSE PRETENSE TO 332.5 OBTAIN IDENTITY.] (a) A person who, with intent to obtain the 332.6 identity of another, uses a false pretense in an e-mail to 332.7 another person or in a Web page, electronic communication, 332.8 advertisement, or any other communication on the Internet, is 332.9 guilty of a crime. 332.10 (b) Whoever commits such offense may be sentenced to 332.11 imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a 332.12 fine of not more than $10,000, or both. 332.13 (c) In a prosecution under this subdivision, it is not a 332.14 defense that: 332.15 (1) the person committing the offense did not obtain the 332.16 identity of another; 332.17 (2) the person committing the offense did not use the 332.18 identity; or 332.19 (3) the offense did not result in financial loss or any 332.20 other loss to any person. 332.21 [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective August 1, 2005, 332.22 and applies to crimes committed on or after that date.
Properly designed articulated busses do help a bit for capacity (I ride one every day). However, having the wheels exposed/not doesn't really matter -- the ride is still crap when the side of the road we ride on (we can ride the shoulders in traffic) is bumpy. Some articulated busses have poor dampener systems and can cause the bus to say violently from side to side.
An immediate short term fix is to design and upgrade roads with dedicated reversable right of way for busses, carpools, and motorcycles. Perhaps sell excess capacity if it is underused, but don't allow single riders in if there are too many busses or if it will impact their trip time. I'll agree, it sucks for people who can't take the bus or don't have the money for the lane, but we need people who are willing to vote in a governor who will allow for a gas tax increase to build wider roads and improve transit in general. Until then there is a good chance, at least in MN, that roads will follow this model if they are even built at all.
Another huge plus is comfortable seating -- some of the articulated MetroTransit busses in Minneapolis have nicer seats with like ~4in padding for the tush. They also have high backed seats. Makes it far more comfortable for a 30 minute ride.
Downside: when bus service improves through a far improved ride and reasonable trip times the busses fill up. It takes more people to drive busses than it does with rail service (nearly 2:1 or worse, depending on how the rail service is designed. 2:1 for our light rail vs. bus, way better (like 5:1 or more) for services like BART which can haul a ton of people) so scalability when people decide to start using it is very hard due to cost. Sometimes they do scale it up, and then run out of money because of cost of living raises or healthcare costs. Cuts happen, a fare increase, and people are right back on the roads.
Super-long busses (ie: two articulations, perhaps 4-wheel steering and dgps/computer steering augmentation?) on dedicated roadway may have the ability to match some rail services, but I've not heard of such a project yet.
Yeah, they don't work with linux, but the Windows support is good and its powered off of USB.
I've also had them make copies of photos that had supposed 'protection' against copying (ie: watermark that would show up when scanned). Never saw the watermark, must be that the led-based tech in the canon product foils that method.:)
Uh. You have to have a userspace shim to do wpa, its not something thats going to be implemented in the kernel, per se.
Now, the integration of a standard WPA interface in kernel drivers is happening, at least. Next you'll see something like NetworkManager support WPA via wpa_supplicant and then you'll forget you even had these arguments.
If more vendors actually had support for Linux, you'd not have to use ndiswrapper, though. Intel sure as heck has been throwing enough support at Linux compared to Airgo (I'm guessing thats the belikin card you have). Having to use ndiswrapper just means you're buying hardware from companies that are not supporting open source, and thats definately not a Linux problem.
The problem I have is that we need 5c to be able to easily record off of cable boxes. (or cablecard) Both of those restrict us away from like MythTV and force people to use 'set top boxes'. So yeah, 2 500gb disks and a comptuer may be far less than $2k, but hey, you can't actually record with anything else!
Yeah, nationwide EDGE (slowly rolling out in markets, its here in the Twin Cities and all of the Minnesota roaming) for $30 bucks. You keep on wasting that extra $50/mo!
[I'm talking about standalone pcmcia card service, unlimited use. Yes, I know EV-DO is better, but its going to take a long time for coast to coast. By that time we're going to see Flash-OFDM deployed in major cities, anyhow]
Well, we use 120VAC, rather. 100VAC-230VAC AC-DC adaptors are common with equipment these days, however. You may want to look for equipment that comes with such an adaptor instead of trying to step it down. Heck, even my cell phone came with one that can do 100-230.
Also, how much is farebox revenue covering costs? 30%-50%?
Over the past few years our state has had issues with transit because the politicans moved it to an unstable funding source to 'reform' property taxes.
Lastly, your second link illustrates that the government continually punts the healthcare issue to other people (ie: taxpayers in this case). Every time this happens I think we need to be very pissed off that our leaders can't figure out a way to push down these costs for all users of healthcare. Education has much of the same problem from what I hear. Less money for kids because healthcare costs are up.
Very good, it works great with Ubuntu and Debian as long as you can deal with setting up some things by hand (ie: editing/etc/default/bluez-utils and some files in/etc/bluetooth/)
You'll also need to setup HIDD and after the drivers and bluez-util init script has been ran just run "hidd --connect ".
For bluetooth keyboards you'll need another keyboard around to type a pin in. then type the pin into your new bluetooth keyboard to pair it.
It takes me about 5 minutes at worst these days to get a new bluetooth install going. Be sure to enable encryption and authentication in hcid.conf, too.

Far more accessable -- we all have cell phones, but we don't all have ipods.

Plus, ours has possible prison time and is a criminal offense, not a civil one.
Obviously the 'normal' laws apply if they are caught stealing or committing fraud, in addition.
We've had an anti-phishing law since August 1st.

Palm OS has had IP for a long time. I used a IIIe to get on the net with CDPD and no special drivers.
:) The zire/tungsten line had all the advancements.
PalmOS can also multithread -- it defiantely does with PocketTunes! It sounds like an application problem.
The clock in 5.2.8 had an alarm clock feature in the 'standard' clock.
I think people knock palm from these Treo devices.
Mitsumi gold cd's are the only way to go. We buy 500-packs of them. Way more durable *and* they last way longer.
Yeah, I've got a LiDE 35 which is still waiting for decent support.
Yeah, they don't work with linux, but the Windows support is good and its powered off of USB.

Nothing like fake markets with controlled entry!

If you have DVI with HDCP you'll be fine. I've got a 1.5 year old tv with DVI/HDCP, yours probally has it too.
Still, HDCP sucks for consumers, as it means you have to have the 'right' hardware to view things.
Well, we use 120VAC, rather. 100VAC-230VAC AC-DC adaptors are common with equipment these days, however. You may want to look for equipment that comes with such an adaptor instead of trying to step it down. Heck, even my cell phone came with one that can do 100-230.
Didn't Borland Visual C++ have autocompletion first?
