Isn't this the flight that flew right into a huge huge storm that was obscured on their radar by a smaller storm which was safe enough to fly through. As soon as the larger storm was in view, it was too late to change course and fly around it. I heard the most likely case is extreme icing of the sensors that monitor airflow, causing autopilot to disengage as the plane no longer knew its own speed. Without any way to know the current speed, the plane lost altitude and crashed, due to a small window of safe speeds that don't result in altitude loss.
So my only choices for smartphone development are Objective C or Java? Seems like a lose-lose situation to me. Why can't I use native C or C++ on either of them?
Windows 98 (but not 95 or 95 OSR2) has this feature in the system Help (winhelp.exe). I have every old version of Windows in VMware, in their default install state with auto-revert. Just load a fresh Win98 install, press F1, and go to the Search tab. Whatever you search for is highlighted in blue in the help topic that appears on the right side. The Options button at the top can disable this if you select "Highlighting Off" and you can turn it back on by selecting "Highlighting On" winhelp.exe is dated May 11, 1998. Must be prior art.

I've seen that on cheap PS/2 keyboards too. It's really annoying when you can't even type a 3 letter word like TWO without it coming out as WTO every single time. At first I thought I was crazy, but it's very reproducible if you type fast.

Or be a gamer. I've had similar issues on cheap keyboards, even PS/2 ones though. Try to hold up+left to walk forward while strafing left and then press Ctrl to duck and shift to disable run so you sneak slower. Oh wait, you can't because that's too many keys down at once and now your computer stopped to issue a PC speaker BEEP!! and lag your game for a second or two.

Unfortunately, in many BIOSes, you need to use a PS/2 keyboard to even get into the BIOS to change that setting. They've probably fixed that on newer motherboards, but I don't know. I still use PS/2 keyboards exclusively.
I bet it happens with SGU too. SG-1 and SGA would both still be watchable shows with likable and funny characters, but they cancel those to put up a boring, slow, drama instead. On that note, one of the few other shows I DVR, Storm Chasers, has turned into a drama as well. I'm sick of watching the chasers bitch about the other chasers and have little interviews like a reality show. Just show the tornadoes and talk about the cool science and vehicles!
I have two EarthLED bulbs, a ZetaLux and EvoLux. They were not as cheap as I'd like, but the problem was that the ZetaLux is too long (5.5") and the EvoLux has a fan that is already quite noisy when the light is on, after only 1 year of use. Only the EvoLux has the Sh model that is the normal 4.5" height like all the regular bulbs and CFLs, so it can at least fit into common fixtures, but the fan sucks.
I also have a Oznium.com X5 that is apparently no longer for sale. It's pretty dim, maybe a 40W replacement at best, but it was only 4" tall and cheaper than the EarthLEDs.
The new ZetaLux 2 line looks interesting. They were not available last year and might actually be what I'm looking for. Size is 4.2", price is $35 for the Pro. 550 lumens might be bright enough. No fan making noise. I'll have to order one and see. Price could be lower and 550 lumens could be higher, but it's an improvement on the old models.
GE needs to team up with Cree and retrofit their factory for making the next generation LED bulbs.
Yes! They need to think of the future, past CFLs, and start working on cheap LEDs asap.
Anybody know where I can get good 800-1000 lumen LED bulbs, that fit in regular A19 socket with 4" clearance (too many are 5" or more tall, and don't fit in many fixtures), and don't have a fan and heatsink? I'd love to start buying them, even for $20-$30 each, but everything I find is like 300 lumens, 5" tall, or has a fan that gets noisy after a year of use.
Can I get these things at Home Depot or Autozone instead? Define "very fine grit": 400, 600, steel wool? Does wet sanding mean using a sponge sand paper instead of flat?
I have no idea what Samsung coats their LNS4696D with.
Watch out for glossy "piano finish" surfaces like found around many newer TVs, monitors, and laptops. Goo Gone will actually smear the glossy surface as well as remove any gunk, leaving you with basically melted plastic that hardens into dull rough matte plastic after a short while.
My 46" LCD looks great after I removed some stupid sticker from the side of it::rolls eyes::
Not to mention no consumer protection at all.
I just now mailed off a check for $1200 for Comcast to drop a wire from the road to my house on the outskirts of GR. Why so much? Because the existing cable line is on the other side of the street, and I'm more than 150' from the road. This doesn't include actual service installation or a single month of service. It is just to feed the cable closer to my house.
I still use some OLD version of ICQ on Windows 7, because I never found another client that behaves as nicely. All the 3rd party stuff I've tried either failed to connect to the ICQ servers or failed basic features like file transfer or the ability to communicate with AIM screen-names from an ICQ account. Also, this ICQ client still has no ads and never pops up a chat screen overtop of anything else I'm doing. I frickin hate it when those other clients steal window focus even when you're typing in an unrelated program. All IM programs should blink patiently in the tray!
I've always figured that the nature of making software available for download on a website based in the US means that if somebody from Cuba downloads it, they are essentially coming to the US and getting the software, then importing it back to Cuba themselves. It may be a subtle difference with software, but with physical objects, the difference between export and import is pretty obvious.
Yes, you can always look it as one person is exporting and the other is importing in any given transaction and pretend there is no difference, but take an example of selling a weapon to somebody. If I sell a weapon to somebody in the US and that is a legal transaction, but that person then takes the weapon back to a country that it is illegal to do so under US law, then that person is guilty of trying to import the weapon to a restricted country. Assume I had no knowledge they were going to do as such after the sale of course. If a person in Cuba orders a weapon from me and I ship it to them, I would be guilty of breaking an export law then, as I was the one pushing the weapon to them.
So I guess what I'm saying is that the nature of the internet and software downloads equates pretty much all downloads from webservers to the case of a person coming to the US, buying the software, then taking it back with them to Cuba. It never in the past equated to me shipping software to Cuba, so I don't think it was ever illegal (for me) in the past for Cubans to download my software.
From a technical aspect - How?
And is it 100% correct in what it does and does not skip, or just 99% correct?
I was not aware of any specific flag in streams that marks content vs commercial.
You know what's better than "zoom" and having to move several zoomed windows side by side and not overlap them too much? A tabbed and paned interface with drag bars between each workspace where you can add or remove panes by dragging tabs into new or existing areas, and a button to zoom, or autosize, the pane to content. Who needs to see random strips of the desktop between each open window? Who needs to waste all this space on the borders of the windows?
And what about a tabbed and paned interface loses the ability to see two windows side by side? You can easily have 3 windows maximized at once, with different panes and drag bars between them for resizing the 3 workspaces. I'm just talking about getting rid of the window borders and crap you don't need in order to work with multiple windows at once.
No, only 22" widescreen, but you obviously missed the point about dragging the tabs to create panes, or workspaces, where by you still get to see 2, 3, or however many windows side by side or tiled in a grid. You just lose the cruft around the window frames and the ability to see 3 pixels of the desktop between your windows because you didn't drag them exactly to be side by side.

Seems like STARTTLS would solve this problem. I know that STARTTLS is preferred for pop3/imap/smtp over using the pop3s/imaps/smtps ports.
I was thinking more like Volcano in New York or something equally as stupid.

It was more than just Dell having capacitor issues left and right.
How does it interact with 802.11a/n(5GHz)?
I'm guessing, as poorly as 2.4GHz cordless phones and bluetooth devices interact with 802.11b/g wireless?
