Lies. A single tea partier holding a sign referencing "tea BAGGING" is not the same thing as that person labeling the GROUP "teabaggers". If you have any credible proof that any tea partier referred to themselves as "teabaggers" I'd love to see it. If you were to say that tea partiers used the word teabag first in any context related to their group then you *might* have a case... although I am pretty sure I can troll the internet and find some earlier example of someone on the left derisively referring to them as such.
Oh...and exactly what services do they want more of? Unless of course you are referring to the government actually doing its job of protecting the borders....
That isn't how I read the article... the trojans were infecting a central maintenance computer back at maintenance headquarters and would have absolutely no idea of the flap status during the take-off. The issues are completely unrelated. While it is interesting that such an important computer (saftey-wise) was so infected, from the wikipedia article and the accident investigation report, it doesn't seem that maintenance had anything to do with the crash at all. This is a simple case of pilot error. The pilot and co-pilot did not complete their take-off checklists having omitted placing the flaps in the take-off position. This is backed up by the voice recorder (they could be heard skipping over this step) and from the data recorders which record the positions of all the control surfaces. The ongoing lawsuits in spain likely have more to do with finding more people to sue than actually accepting what really happened that tragic day.
so you don't have an android phone but perceive the android market to be "fragmented"... interesting... I have found precisely one app that hasn't worked on my phone (a flashlight app that was designed for the Motorola Droid to power on the camera LED Flash and use it as a flashlight). I had no reason to think it would work on my Incredible but decided to try it anyway... it didn't work... big deal. Of the 60 or so other apps I have installed, every one worked on my phone and I doubt they were all designed to work on the Incredible which had been only out a few weeks...
Which I think is the really interesting (but buried) story in all of this... no one seems bothered that Apple has admitted that they (accidentally?) had a software "bug" that overstated the reception strength and that this has been in place since the beginning. If your car was fudging your mpg favorably or your thermostat was falsifying its readings to show you that it was cooling the house better than you thought...wouldn't you be pissed? I can't believe more people aren't as outraged by the "software glitch" as they are about the antenna [lack of] design.
costing Apple and their shareholders millions of dollars
BS... if your house goes up in value 50% and then drops 5% you haven't "lost" anything. The only real losers are anyone who happened to buy stock in the last 3 days.
Concur that the whole lifecycle as well as all dependencies need to be checked here... for example, using an all-electric car in West Virginia actually increases your carbon footprint something like 2-3x over using a conventional gasoline automobile (because nearly 100% of WV's electricity is generated by coal).
linky
if your advisor could derive Maxwell's equations from F=ma I'd be awfully impressed... now if you mean F=ma as a metonym for "first principles" then maybe...
Well, based on my experience with open source projects,... I imagine you'll generate a lot of interest, the blueprints will look great but in the end, you'll end up with a shody foundation and maybe some framework done but your workforce will abandon you before you put up the drywall...
I don't believe the Droid Incredible is being phased out... Verizon is certainly ramping up a huge ad campaign behind the Droid X and is indeed offering to let people who have purchased a Droid Inc but are still waiting for it to be delivered to switch their order to a Droid X (HTC isn't coming close to keeping up with demand).
Umm.... if you recall from the iPhone4 prototype fiasco, at least one was enclosed in a iPhone3g enclosure which obviously wouldn't have had this problem as it had a different antenna design.

That's CONGRESSWOMAN Blinky to YOU! oblig link
No joke... I'll bet recently their competitors' phones have been in these labs more than the iPhone 4g (to "prove" that they have similar problems)
try an HTC Incredible...
to summarize: simple phones for simple people.

Maybe MS just wants to find out if there are any major design flaws before releasing it to the public... say... like an antenna design flaw... booyaa!

...or... you could just buy some steal wool....
WRONG... the DROID trademark has nothing to do with Motorola, it covers VERIZON's branding of any ANDROID phone (including those made by HTC)

Shouldn't that be 640,000 kills?
Right...like when apple invented the GUI, mouse, tablet computer, touch screen, mp3 player ... oh wait...
double bullshit. Yes,... you can talk about TOPICS covered in graduate physics but not at a graduate LEVEL.

I think we are operating on different definitions of the word "independent"

How'd this get modded as troll? You may not agree with it but come on... that is an informative post.
What is a dropped call anyway? (Disclaimer: I'm a verizon customer)
That's tough to swallow...
