I have the mio c320, unlocking which was a breeze. for around 200$ you can get the ones equipped with traffic. Mio is however just one brand, but due to excellent community built around unlocking, its one of the easiest to hack. I suggest you head over to gpspassion.com forums to check it out.
What is needed is a close button on the last tab. Currently 3.5 has no close button on the last tab. In Firefox 3, all you had to do was click on the close tab button, and the last tab would become blank page.
I had the same annoying thing. Suppose I wanted to be on a blank page, I had to open a blank tab and close the last tab, till I discovered ctrl+W. It will close the last tab and make it blank
Of course "change job", "14 hours a day too much" etc., etc., are coming in, but in these times it can be difficult. From your schedule, since you need sleep, you will have to fit exercise in your work schedule. Basically, you need one 20 minute break, and another 2 breaks of 10 minutes each. Can you extract that much time out of your job? If yes, do this first 10 minutes break, do 3-4 minutes brisk walk followed by mild jog. Later after an hour or so do 5 minutes of fast walk, light jog. and then run properly for 10 minutes and then spend 5 minutes to cool down.
with 2 minutes for stretching. You should be able to do 2 miles in this time. Your last 10 minutes should be stretching and some stuff like situps and pushups.
Getting away from your desk for these ultra short breaks will refresh you.
When you get home, just try to sqeeze out 15 minutes, and jog in those 15 minutes.
Or maybe you never go out taking pictures in remote locations. Most DSLRS will give you around 300 pics max if you use stuff like long exposure, and even less if you are in to live view. So what if you are on a day long shooting session in a remote location. You run back to your hotel to charge battery? Or you just pop in a new one?
Suppose you play music in your car, and are in a traffic jam with windows rolled down.Do you have to pay royalty for public performance? Ringing phone is the same thing. I don't think its going to stand up in court. Just because somebody can hear what you play does not mean its public performance. However if you booked an auditorium, hooked your phone to the mic and let it ring, it would be public performance. What next, if you play music in your house, and somebody passing by the window can hear it, you need to pay royalty?
thats discontinued. That said Luxury range starts with Toyota Corolla price range(20,000$) Eco cars start at 4000$, and ultra ECO is 2000$ Nano. Middle class owns a 10-12K car with upper middle class owning 20K $ cars. The richer folks spend 30K$ on their cars, and industrialists can be seen driving 60,000$ cars like the BMW 3 series. Some super rick blokes own cars costing 200,000$ also.
PS: My post has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion, I was just education you about cars and prices in India.
There was a time America used to peddle stuff all over the world and insist on free trade. Now Third world countries are peddling their labor and insisting on free trade. Karma, what goes around, comes around!
Get a dirt cheap obsolete laptop. This will connect you to the college network. Install their application on it. Then just enable internet connection sharing, and connect your good laptop. Simple!

I work in the EDA field now, and first 4 years of my career were spent in Design Verification.
Based on what I see, VHDL is mostly on its way out. Most new innovations in design tools center around verilog. Due it its being more "free" as opposed to the super strict VHDL, its gaining popularity in the last bastions of VHDL, the european universities. Nowadays all big design companies use Verilog almost exclusively, with only legacy blocks in VHDL.
So Verilog is the way to go, and also easier to learn. However beware, if you come from a software background, you will have difficulty adjusting to the "time" concept of logic programming languages. So brush up the design basics first, how to blocking/non-blocking statements work, and how does an "event" driven language work.
Yes. That is planned http://www.eetimes.com/news/design/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=P42FF0JL3N524QSNDLPSKH0CJUNN2JVN?articleID=199905165 Till Galileo comes online, the system will work on standard GPS, after which it will work on both systems. Radio complexity increase is not much, and I expect single chip SoC to come up for the same soon, however software/firmware complexity may be the real killer here.
There are so many diseases here like cholera/typhoid/TB.... that the swine flu will have to get in line to infect It will be well over a 100 years before it gets a chance to clear the waiting list.
I have a mio GPS, and the charger is a standard USB port. This means every time I connect it to my comp, it gets charged. any time I can't find a charger, all I need is a USB cable.
The downside is that companies cannot charge 50$ for a charger that costs 1$ to make. I know you can order chargers from dealextreme etc., for 5$ a piece, but frankly speaking a large percentage of the users won't go that route. Besides that there is also an issue of "warranty FUD".
So if it takes a legislation to do it, well so be it. However I sincerely hope that they do not come out with some new standard called Universal cell phone port. USB is cheap, easily available, and almost everybody has a USB cable lying somewhere!
Okay, if you wanted broadband in a village, I would understand. But how would distance affect a densly populated downtown area. Densly populated area in US are no better off than sparsly populated areas

I work in the VLSI field. Over the years I have seen chips from 60nm to 45nm and down to 22nm in the current state. Why did tech shrink? Because you could do the same function for lesser silicon, i.e. lesser cost. From 60nm-45nm etc., the reductions were substantial. But around 22nm, if tech is reduced(technology is there), the cost benefit is zilch. So you may have a chip 10% smaller, doing the same thing, but it will consume almost same power and cost more. So moore's law will actually be broken by 2010,unless something really out of the box is invented. As of the current state of affairs, the focus in on 2 things. 1. Optimization of architechture 2. Reduction of power. The shrinking phenomena is a thing of the past. The newer chips will be slightly faster but consume less power and will cost less, thats all, no more hyper speed jumps for now. The party was good while it lasted, now with the current economic state, R&D funding is not what it used to be, so innovation will also suffer for some time
Sensationalist headlines read nice, don't they. Actually they had photographs of military base on their laptop, areas which had prominently displayed "Photography prohibited"
I tried that game actually, but within 2 minutes had an uncontrollable urge to eat chicken. I spent next 2 ours trying to catch a wild chicken, and was successfull, and then I ate it after removing the internals and the skin etc.,
REally good initiative. If I had not played this game I would have eaten chicken and added lots of calories. 2 hours workout along with chicken helped me burn some of them.
