Lately I've just gone to thrift stores and bought them for $5 a piece. So far I've fount at least 1 for every 3 shops I've gone to. Kinda sad, one that does rehab work had a huge pile of old or dead equipment stacked behind the building and rained on. At the top of the heap there was a IBM Personal Computer/AT. Someone had seen fit to go at it with a baseball bat.
Man, either I've been here too long or the community is getting smaller. I can remember the last time Intel dropped support for something and Lord Ender said virtually the exact same thing.
Meanwhile you can measure the generations by counting the number of adapters and dongles coming out of my Modem M.
Really? The last time I checked perceived value holds a lot weight than any real measure of value. I could have a magic box that spits out gold bars and shoot dollar bills from my fingers, but if investors think I'm worthless, well I had better save those gold bars.
I heard that Chris Foresman said OS X is an old nasty grandma and that he is gonna hit up some Objective C when you are away over the weekend. Then he said, People who have a MacBook want an iPad. Yep, he was talking about you, said you were too poor to afford an iPad. I'll bet he also said he can kick your ass. Probably live chattin' about that right now.
This is all about benefits. When you are 18-25 and working on Summer of Code, the last thing on your mind are thoughts of retirement or your perspiration drug plan. The sad part is that we completely buy it. I was at a conference some weeks ago and roughly half of the speakers kept pushing this (though suspiciously all of these people were in either community organization or management roles, not one programmer or engineer had a thing to say about it). 30 is treated like the new 90.
While I think that idea is inevitable and even responsible, it also seems like a serious vulnerability. I don't want someone getting in and turning my washer, dryer, stove, AC on while I am away, let alone my neighbor's constantly open wrt54g with a default password of "admin".
If we think planes crashing into buildings are scary how about massive rolling black outs at 8:01 AM every morning.
a. Open. So long as you have a voter registration card.
b. Vic Rawl. As Greene didn't campaign, Rawl didn't see a point in campaigning against his opponent and instead focused on face time with locals, churches, etc. You see J. Random Candidate on the ballot all the time; often just some someone disgruntled or looking for a legal way to blow a large questionable wad of cash.
c. For that I can't help but wonder why Susan Gaddy, Jim DeMints Republican opponent didn't have similar luck and only walked away with 17%. Was it just because Jim was higher on the list then she was?
d. That is the most mind boggling part of all of this. A drinking buddy of mine tried to run for state rep about 10 years ago and he managed to make it to a run-off. He received a call from the democratic chairman telling him that even if they received 99% of the vote he wasn't going to get through, he simply wasn't their man. Thanks for playing, good day. Perhaps they don't have protections to prevent this for federal office, that is my only guess.
1. He has yet to make any jobs for us.
2. I can't help but think it is all BS to make sure that he drops out of the race at the right moment.
3. Unless your district is really, really dirt poor and exclusively black, Democrats here are pretty weak. It is enough to keep Jim Clyburn in office, but that is about it. For everything else the map is pretty well set to make sure that Republicans have a majority. In other words Dems are losers who often never bother trying. Hell, in this state Democratic candidates don't even mention that they are Democrats when they run. They are simply "candidates" and they often run on a moderate Republican platform because anything else is immediately associated with socialism in the voter's mind.
4. This has happened before. Perhaps not with Tea Party folks, but here it is nothing new here.
5. Either way it is pointless. DeMint will win. He always does.
Because this state is filled with jr wannabe Lee Atwaters. Just looks for the young twenty-something jack-asses who are wearing long sleeve indigo shirts and bow ties in 110 degree heat and you will probably find someone with Aspirations of screwing up a democratic presidential campaign at some point in the future.
I had the same problem. It was "open source crap". So I did the natural thing. I installed it on the prettiest employee's desktop and within a week of her lauding this "Audacity thing" there were official requests to install it on any desktop that had to manipulate audio. We would be on Asterisk by now if she hadn't left.
Doesn't matter. In two weeks everyone will forget any and all previous work done on video chat or we will at least hear that video chat wasn't "really" done until Apple added recognition for sign language.
The last time I check someone else owned the rights to Molly Millions, not Gibson (ie. Johnny Mnemonic's female protagonist an aptly named, "Jane"). Seems like a bad foot to start on.
The part that disheartens me most is that the opposition has already framed this as "Government takeover of the Internet" and because of that they will probably win out.
This is true and it goes a bit further. Teachers who stood up to their bullies, often see bullied students as "problem students", sometimes going as far as punishing the student for being a disruption. After a while, the problem student, despite being a good kid, will begin to feel that he or she not only deserves to be bullied, but accepts that it is somehow the "right" thing. In the end, if they fight back, the teacher finally has their chance to axe the disruption and the pecking order will get to return to its natural state.
I've always wondered if these teachers secretly hope the quiet kid turns out to be a serial killer, just to quell their conscience at night.
In their defense, I hadn't even heard of OBDII until today (not much of a car person, it has always been a means of getting to work), along with a whole bunch of other (interesting) items in these threads. Knowing where to start with a subject can make all of the difference (a bit like trying to get a MSCSE cert and never knowing that there were error codes).

The summary or TFA?
You are right, they are first class corporate citizens.

Then again Time Warner is still kicking.
$150,000/song? Why not all of the money on the planet Earth or anything of value in solar system? That sounds like a more reasonable sum.

The only real news about it was the update to iOS4.
For proprietary codecs.

They don't want the warranty to expire.
Do they pay taxes?
You'd probably disappear in gigahertz if you tried to implement something like this.
It is the involuntary contribution of DNA samples that they really want to crack down on.

We all want SS2, for anything.
