A phones UI can handle more functions than a pager without added complexity. But a phone can not handle typing notes faster than a PDA with a keyboard or stylus. So pager to phone is easy, but PDA to phone is hard.
These devices will not successfully merge. There are two distinct camps. PDA camp. Cellphone camp. For me the merger is in Treos and Blackberry's. However, you can see there are TONS more cellphones from everywhere that hardly meet the UI of a PDA.
So I recognize the cellphone folks that consider PDA an afterthought. I hope they recognize us PDA folks that have phones just for emergencies and perhaps text messaging.
I agree with most of that. Even if Dean was not electable that is not the democrats fault. He was a solid Democrat. Its a shame when the democrats recognize that they can not get elected behaving like democrats. And then decide the best way to get elected is to quit being so democrat like.
In the end nobody respects a fence rider. They would have lost but with dignity. Of course it would not have been as close, so I could be completely wrong.
But what is clear to me is they removed Dean and inserted Kerry. Something that I think disappointed their grass roots folks.
Some are funny that way. They want Jews to Control Israel to usher in the end-times, but turn and oppose the mark of the beast. Can't have it both ways.
You sure? Perhaps RIM got 'rights' in this settlement and the company that sued RIM will go one to sue others having "sold its first license" to RIM. Perhaps RIM only agreed to settle if NTP agreed to sue somebody else.
I and a lot of people that manage our schedules with a PDA don't have time or patience to do the same with a UI limited 'smart' phone. I also do not want a mini-laptop. I want a reliable handspring Treo. But because there is more money in smart phones due to the payment scheme, everyone is abandoning the PDA.
Once you add a phone onto a PDA the PDA companies flip the fuck out and start trying to get subscription money by acting like its a phone.
Its not so much that Palm offers Smart phones. Its that Palm does not push back against the idea of PDA being a phone accessory as opposed to a phone being a PDA accessory. Its not in their interest to be second fiddle, but they dont seem to get it.
I went from Palm to Treo to BlackBerry. Which is from Stylus for everything to Stylus for selection and keyb for rest, to keyboard and thumbwheel. Each was a step down in user interaction. A smart phone would be yet another step down. Palm leadership is incompetent.
Well the govt starts programs then pays their buddies newly created company to provide a service. As opposed to the government providing the service itself. All in the name of 'smaller government.'
Well, selling of the company comes with the territory.
PDA, MP3, cellphone are all fine with me. The camera would get me banned from many worksites. Companies don't make it easy to find a phone without a "camera."
I think you are off a bit on Kerry. He always stated how he would do things right. The problem is, this was a *response* to bush mistakes. So in effect, his whole choice of issues was based on Bush's choice of issues. Which shows a lack of initiative and a lack of leadership.
Its the Dems fault for shoving Kerry down our throats. They were all too happy to kick Dean out. Kerry was no where near winning the nomination when they kicked Dean out.
In the first sentence, it's clear that the emphasis is on "five thousand years", as the author intended. In the second it is not clear where the emphasis is. Is it on the "truely new story", "no one's", "written". Is the entire sentence meant to be taken as exclamatory?
But this is attempting to add value to something that has none. In this case, what difference does it make where he puts his emphasis? The sentence still carries the exact same meaning. "Like" is just an extra word that does tell me how he means to say the sentence verbally, but it does not convey any more information.
He attempts to use a speaking technique for writing. It does not work. At best its awkward.
I disagree. There will be as many "Tier 1" ISPs as the people need. The only reason there are a few now is because we only require a few. This is all besides the point.
When congress starts legislating your network architecture is meaningless. If your worried about invasion of privacy you should address it with your vote as well as your intelligence. If you can explain the issue perhaps you will get more votes. Its tough to fight the force of the media, but its not impossible.
I think its rather stupid on Netflix part. Those passionate users are likely passionate advocates as well. This is what happens when bean-counters run the ship.
I can only guess they are non-union in NY. Getting fired for something like that around here would cause a lot of trouble.
Though when Kwame first got into office he did fire a round of people because they took an extra long lunch and stuff like that. Then proceeded to do stuff like that himself...
I guess the favor goes both ways. While the mayor is popular he may get away with that, but while he is not he will face lots of trouble. Damn shame since the union should be behind employees regardless of the popularity of the mayor.
No its much worse. If they are *advertising* with adware they already don't care that people know it. How they hell is the ad going to work and you not know its adware?
Its just more publicity. Are they going to read the ad as well? File this in the bonehead category. Furthermore, as a republican run organization they need to do the republican thing. Money.
Me too, but my governments already running on money we borrowed from the Chinese and Japanese. We should consider such things before we spend it all...
Well my company always has a list of hotels in the area we can use and we can choose which one. Naturally I choose the one with free internet access. Afterall, its my company, its my money.
I doubt that. If pixar players leave after the buyout Disney CEO will be in hot water. Disney animation has sucked royally and produced flops lately while Pixar is flying high. Certainly not because of their equipment but their personnel.
Normally I agree that after mergers the main company managers try to kick out the other companies since they want to keep their jobs and it cause poor internal culture. But in this case I think the disney management is soo poor performing and Pixar was so good and everybody knows it, it will be hard for them to do that.
Besides, if they do, expect to see a new animation company created by the former leaders of Pixar and watch all the old employees leave for that company...
I couldnt agree more. Also Nader was not the Green Party Candidate IIRC. The Official candidate was someone else I cant remember.
Technically though the democrats are not spineless, just slow. The Republicans always beat them to the punch, so it makes the democrats always look like they are following. Plus they are too cowardly to disagree and stand behind that. Howard Dean was not, and actually Al Gore was not scared either. Recall how the Democratic party essentially froze both of them out.
Well I was taken to jail once, and still told I wasn not under arrest. I was detained for questioning. I think that line of thinking comes from the TV. You can see the TV as a testbed for violating all sorts of laws.
We love our cop shows where the cops 'get tough' smacking the guy around the room and whatnot. For some reason we must think the cops done like them too. There is a particularly agregious cop show on FX I think it is where the guy is always beeting up 'criminals.'
Looks like BS to me. Only time police can search your car is if they were in 'hot' persuit of you. Otherwise they must request.
The fact that he requested permission shows that he understood he needed it. Im not a lawyer but I am surprised that they told you what they did. He can not just walk into your house, thats laughable.
On the other hand I recall an incident where a car crashed into a tree on my front lawn. Myself and a friend went to the door when we hard the bang. We saw the reflection of lights flashing. Then an officer jogged up to the car. Then he ran toward my front door, so we stood back, opened it and let him in. We assumed he wanted to use the phone or something, instead he grabs my friend who has his coat on still, from out of my house. The story goes on. Stupid ass court appointed attoruneys advised him to plead guilty to auto theft, lol...
One time the state police stopped my car after we picked up friend from the airport. My cousin was hanging out the back window, so I guess thats what you get. They asked could they search the car, and I said no. They searched anyway. Didint find any of whatever they were looking for, gave us a ticked for some BS. They did not show up to court, but still it wasted my time.
Police will do any damn thing, but its not always legal.
Creationism vs. Evolution. This is a false question as these two ideas do not conflict with one another. Only the 'extremist' seek to make it an issue. And I use that term loosly since I don't believe the extremist truly believe the BS they spout. At least not the ones on the top.
I'm a highly educated, non-atheist. I think there is room for both. I could expound on why I think certain folks keep trying to start a fight, but...

The AC/OP/TP is correct. This technique's code would be remarkably easy to record by a third party.
I sure hope its not the sequence of knocks thats pattented. We have had the code knock for a very very long time.
PDA, MP3, cellphone are all fine with me. The camera would get me banned from many worksites. Companies don't make it easy to find a phone without a "camera."

Perhaps consumer safety on its surface. But underneath this has to have a terrible effect on the environment.

Why not link it by its publisher.
