Either that, or make them fill out an almost unreadable captcha and make them wait at least 2 minutes before each delete, to make them prove that they actually took the time to read the full name of the file they're deleting (instead of using a stupid bot to do it).
No, she probably went to jail because of the warranty. That's how most counterfeiters get caught these days. The unit stops working as it should, or the unit is dead on arrival. Someone calls Cisco support, expecting to get the warranty and the service they paid for, only to be told their device is a fake, and therefore is not going to be replaced/serviced.
Then someone calls this lady (since she's the one who originally sold you the device), you end up corresponding with ten different people all bearing different names, but instead, you're only talking to the same lady who's giving you the run around (using her ten different identities), until a couple of weeks later, the email messages you send to her company bounce back to you as the domain is no longer valid, and the phone number you call for support answers with an error message as it has gotten disconnected with no forwarding number given.
Aside from the Law degree he got from Yale, which could prove he's an elitist (but at least not a complete idiot). He also graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science degree.
So at least, he comes from a technical background if nothing else, so it's not all bad.
I do. Reading most Manga/Comic Books just doesn't work for me on E-ink.
For me, the battery of a tablet is not as critical as the battery of my phone. Besides, it's not like I'm reading twelve hours a day, and even if I were, I can still read it just fine plugged in. And it's not like my tablet would be far from an electrical outlet even if it didn't need charging. I just do not use my tablet the same way I use my phone (I don't even have my notifications turned on - on my tablet).
My only complaint with this one is the size. It's hard to read something on a smaller 7" display once you've gotten used to a 10.1" tablet. So my guess, only first-time tablet owners will gravitate toward 7" displays. No one will ever purchase a 7" display a second time, if they're buying a tablet only for reading-purposes.
No, we're talking about the Galaxy Tab 7", not the Galaxy Tab 10.1". The Galaxy Tab 7" really predates the injunction. The 7.1" was cool when it first came out, but it is really a dinosaur compared to the Honeycomb Galaxy Tab 10.1". I don't see anyone buying an 7.1" right now unless it gets upgraded soon, both its hardware and its software.
It only does remote uninstalls in case of active malware (that got installed through the Market). Just to be safe thought, if I were you, I'd root my phone and backup the app with Titanium Backup (their free version is enough).
I don't ever expect Google to turn themselves into Amazon, it would be a stupid PR move on their part, but if there is ever a court order ordering them to do a mass remote uninstall, I don't expect them to refuse such an order.
Microsoft? After all, Microsoft is regular advertiser with the New York Times and Microsoft Kinect's product is the one being plugged. At the very least, I suspect that all the hardware used was donated to them for free (not to mention the free labor from the unpaid intern that put this whole thing together).
Yeah, but with a computer/TV screen instead of a mirror, then I wouldn't see any reason to ever get up from the throne (except to get the occasional food item or beer can, and even that could be easily rectified by placing a mini-fridge on top of the bathtub).
If this is your first time presenting to this class, keep it super simple. For instance, put up the picture of a dinosaur and make it growl/shake. And just use the time to make a connection with the kids. If you want to teach them something useful, talk to the teacher about a follow up session, and take a look at the following materials for inspiration: http://csunplugged.org/.
Genetically engineered BBQ'd unicorn ribs sound like a cool idea!!!! but forget it about it happening in the US. May be Mexico or Singapore, just not in the US. The US just has too many environmentalists and too many conservative Christians.
At a minimum the cell signal is triangulated to get your location. "to provide better service" meh.
Not in this case, this particular data set is being kept away from the carriers, and was only being sent to Microsoft Servers.
If you don't like it, don't use 'em.
Or we could just sue for them lying to us. Personally, I don't mind them collecting the data. It's the lying about it that bothers me. And if you live in the US, and don't like other people suing, you could just move away.
Why the moon? or a space elevator? If the asteroid is small enough, crash it on the earth instead. Just pick your entry angle wisely, you don't want it burning it all up before it hits the ground.
This could also be a very bad deal for any 3rd party developer who wants to make a music application, or a music-related app, on Blackberry. Will RIM decide to one day block your app because it could tangentially compete with their app?
Inflation? My local daily newspaper used be a quarter, now it's one dollar. And don't get me started on postage rates, postage-dependent subscriptions keep on getting squeezed every single time there is an unplanned US Postage hike.
Of course, they're always surprised that CTRL-Z won't make an email they just sent come back.
There is a gmail labs extension for that! I'm actually surprised that more people don't make use of that.
Just enable it (assuming you have gmail or gmail premier) and it delays the email being sent for a few seconds, allowing you to undo the sending. For the couple of times I used it, this feature has been a godsend for me. And I don't know if it's linked to the Ctrl-Z shortcut, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were, gmail/Google tries to link the shortcuts to everything.
While I'm at it, another useful gmail labs extension is the "Did you forget attachment" extension. Based on the keywords you use in your email, it will ask you to confirm whether you forgot to include the attachment, or not. It actually works very well. I don't ever remember getting a false positive from it.
And not to sound like a complete Google fan-boy, Google Chrome's browser still has one major flaw regarding undos (compared to Firefox). Chrome has yet to fully duplicate the Firefox now-default behavior of never being able to accidentally lose the content you posted to a forum because of a server session expiration problem. I realize that there is a Chrome extension for that, but it's so freaking security-conscious, it's a hassle to use with its required password and a hassle to install on my different computers for myself and all my different users (unlike most other Chrome extensions or Firefox extensions).
Without affirmative action, the number of new black lawyers would increase by 8.8 percent because students would attend law schools that fit their preparation, leading to better grades and better jobs.
I wonder if this is also because the proportion of women, disabled people, and other ethnic minorities, targeted by Affirmative Action as a whole vastly surpasses the number of African Americans targeted by Affirmative Action.
1. Do you require a Google account in order to use/initialize your Android phone?
As a user in the US, I can only speak about the Original Droid (which is the only phone I don't mind factory resetting to see what happens).
To initialize the phone, no. To use the phone, no. To use Google Maps, no (although, I still get the message login failed, the message is not intrusive in the least, and I can still use Google Maps).
To use the Market, yes (although, I can still install apps through the web if I tick a check-box in the settings).
If so, that would seem to present some difficulties for Kenya, or is that not required for certain countries?
So Kenyans would be able to use the phone, yes, but would they be able to use the Market? That, I don't know.
2. Is the Google account locked into the phone, so that only that one user can (reasonably) use it? I mean, you can't have a scenario where different people can "log" into an Android phone, can you?
On any Android phone, you can have multiple accounts, and the applications themselves allow you to easily switch between accounts. That being said, if you share your phone with your family, don't expect your data to be inaccessible from your other family members. That's not how the phone os was designed. As far as my experience is concerned, the phone doesn't require you to re-login with a password when switching account.
With GSM phones (which is what the rest of the World has), this is actually better. In some villages in India for instance, every villager has their own SIM card and they just rent the cell phone to put the SIM card in. And the SIM card contains all your contacts, call/sms logs, network account, and carrier account information.
The only problem is that the SIM cards of today contain very little memory in them. And if villagers are sharing the same phone, but not the same sim card, they could still accidentally share private data with other users of the same phone through its internal memory or through its SD card.
The only difference between you and a libertarian is that you think a foreigner from another continent far away, is smart enough, virtuous enough, and has enough information to fix a country he's never even been to and really knows nothing about.
It's because present leadership in the Defence Department is trying to fit the round peg of cyberspace into the square hole of meat space.
Did you guys notice how the guy spelled "Defence"?
Dollars to donuts, the author is Australian. Not only the toilet flushes backwards over there, but their round pegs behave just like our square pegs, and their square holes behave just like our round holes.
I'm just not sure the US government be should listening to Australians on this issue. The last I heard. The Australian government has not only been waging Cyber War on its very own people but it has also been losing pretty consistently.
Slashdot Mirror
I would really like someone to hold them to that.
Either that, or make them fill out an almost unreadable captcha and make them wait at least 2 minutes before each delete, to make them prove that they actually took the time to read the full name of the file they're deleting (instead of using a stupid bot to do it).
I guess the moral of the story is that she should move to New Zealand the next time she does this. She'll probably get a lighter sentence.

I don't understand your comment. If the dollar is being devalued, then shouldn't the project end up becoming cheaper for us?
It's not a true "opt-out" unless the mall cops grab your groin or strip search you.

Are you talking about their electronic version?
If so, I'm guessing you don't have a good smart phone/plan and must be away from your desktop most of the day.
Are there any backscatter detectors? Or should I just assume that every black van on the road is there to irradiate me?
