you have to give LaTeX a little help though. when you have a period that doesn't end a sentence, use a ``tie'', like this: Dr.~Zahradka. Then LaTeX knows not to break the line there, and also not to put extra space, like at the end of a sentence.
I have a 3G iPad. I'd purchased the limited data plan, thinking I'd just add on the unlimited when i needed it. As soon as I saw this story, I jumped on my iPad, ordered the unlimited plan, and it told me once i used up the last 55mb of my 250mb for this month, it would switch me to the unlimited plan. I drove in to work with the map app running the whole way, that burned through 45mb, and as soon as i got into the office, I hit flickr.com and starting loading up as many images as I could. I was able to burn through that last 10mb in about 20 minutes. Now I'm officially on the unlimited data plan; hopefully I'll be grandfathered in. This is a great opportunity for another carrier to offer a competing iPad data plan!
the real reason they're dropping it is because everyone simply remembers where all the built-in cameras are; you just have to drop your speed to an indicated 76mph just before the cameras. (the speed limit is 65, the cameras only fire at 11mph over or more, and speedometers always read higher than you are really going).
and when they park a mobile camera ford escape, they put out a sign, saying "photo speed enforcement ahead", so you just have to pay attention for the signs, which if you're speeding, you better be paying attention anyway!
the cameras all made a bunch of money at first, then income dropped off a cliff after everyone learned the system.
I kind of agree with both parties here; 1. shouldn't just let a thug get away with it, but 2. don't want to get killed in the process.
where I live, it's legal to carry a gun, as long as it's not concealed (you can get a permit to conceal too).
I would think the best thing to do would simply be to wear a gun while tracking down the iphone. I'd imagine that simply having it visible are going to tilt the odds way in favor of the thug either running away, or just handing over the iphone.
basically, once you're armed, you have the capability to handle escalation if it occurs, but until the thug escalates, you are simply tracking him down and politely asking for you iphone back.
note, I didn't say pull the gun out. the only time you draw a gun is if you intend to kill with it; the only time you should be trying to kill someone is if a reasonable person would consider there to be no other recourse; i.e., if he's threatening you with words, don't kill him. if he's swinging a baseball bat at you, rushing you with a knife, or brandishing a gun, then kill him.
back when itunes first came out, I bought some songs. for various reasons, I got tired of dealing with the DRM, and I recently went through them all and re-encoded them without drm (burned to cd, re-imported). I will never buy another piece of music encoded with DRM.
in the blog, he provides a list of some of the software that the school makes available. but what he actually says is "Other open source software on both images include audacity and lame, and other Free Software such as Google Earth, iTunes, Adobe and many plug-ins."
Great, except for the part that Adobe, Google Earth, and most especially iTunes, are anything BUT Free Software. If he had said "free software" it would have been ok, but he deliberately went out of his way to capitalize it like the Free Software Foundation does. I'm pretty sure Adobe has produced absolutely no Free Software (Free as in Freedom, not free as in purchase price). and iTunes is certainly not Free; source is not available, and all the metadata for the iTunes library is locked in a proprietary, binary blob.
it's just shocking that this big-time supposed Free Software advocate doesn't even know how to spell free software!
and don't forget z.'s twin sisters: z- to put the current line at the bottom of the screen, and z ENTER to put the current line at the top of the screen.
you said: dL to delete to the bottom of the visible screen. you can also do d followed by any cursor movement and the text the cursor would have moved over will be deleted. dw, dW, de, dE, d'b, dG, d$, d^, those are all handy.
C is a shortcut for c$. c is like d, in that you can follow it with any cursor movement command, for example cw, cW, ce, cE, cG, cL, c}, c'b, cj, whatever.
you may be sensing a pattern here. lots of vim commands actually will operate over any cursor movement range specified.
or even simpler, in command mode, just hit ! then do any cursor movement. then it will give you a prompt to type the shell command. the stuff that the cursor would have moved over is then filtered through the shell command.
this works for cursor movements like }, 5j, 'b, G, anything you can dream up.
seems to me their are fewer things that differentiate the macbook from the macbook pro now: screen resolution, processor speed (which is a questionable difference, the cpu is still limited by the bus speed, and even the macbook has a really fast processor now), video chipset, and the card slot. so now presence of firewire is one more differentiating factor.
the only software I buy (and the only non-free software I use) is Mac OS X, and I'm actually a major version behind on that, so I can honestly say I haven't paid money for software in years, and all the software I use is legally licensed. I put all the money I saved into buying a motorcycle, and the money I save on gas (55mpg v. 19mpg in my car) I'll use to pay down all my debt I accumulated before I grew up:)
I hate biometrics! I feel like it encourages stupid criminals to cut off fingers and rip out eyeballs. "oh, your laptop has a fingerprint reader? better take your finger with me too then!", or "oh, your bank vault requires a retina scan? I'll be needing your eyeball then". why encourage someone to steal body parts?!
ya, poetic justice would also be if kdawson were an english major in college right now, and got kicked out of school for inappropriate use of the phrase "poetic justice".
so say if dell started shipping laptops with 4 gb of ram, would a stock ubuntu (32 bit) kernel use all 4gb? or would dell have to tweak something? gee, I wish I had 4gb!

June 7 is the date they will end the unlimited plan, so there are a few more days to get grandfathered in.

isn't this sort of like putting ketchup on chocolate cake?
1. ideas don't make you rich, doing something with the idea does. it's all in the execution and the marketing.
2. if you can't even spell "vette", I don't hold out much hope for your execution skills.
I can't read either form of archaic Greek, you insensitive clod!

I don't even bother with visual mode.

the poeple it doesn't work at all for any more got a new sim card, then it worked.
true; I'm lucky that my workflow doesn't require photoshop. my best friend needs it though, and he is constantly whining about the U.S. price :)
