Just plugin a thin USB or bluetooth keyboard and the problem is solved. Next question, please.
That completely defeats the purpose of having a single portable device that you can carry with you. Next thing, you'll be telling me I have to carry a keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers, ethernet cable, portable optical drive, usb hard drive and a power cord. This is one of those things that is supposed to "just work".
Perhaps also to work as an effective, if limited, white list. Not only will it tell you what emails are "important" but it would certainly be an easy to way to keep a small-sized good-guy mailing list.
Actually... they do "magically propagate" when flaws are found in things like Windows SAMBA sharing or Apache's web server (or any server program that you run for that matter.)
They've used Thinkpads at RPI for some time and they are great machines. The school, however, does not require you to keep the default OS/software package. You simply find yourself in trouble when your assignment requires MatLab and you don't have it installed anymore - though generally you can just borrow a friend's.
There is nothing wrong with suggesting a laptop with a good support track record, lots of academic/scientific software available, and and wide user base. As long as they don't punish people for reconfiguring their machines (which I highly doubt they will.)
Not that I support censorship in any way, but do not the cell companies have very tight control over their networks, and thus the data flow over them? What's to prevent them from disallowing certain data (i.e. known viruses) from flowing to their customers?
<sarcasm>I mean honestly, can't they just check the evil bit?</sarcasm>
Palms have had this for awhile have they not? Not handwriting recognition - you could, say, drag the pen from top to bottom and the backlight would come on.
Sigh... First, read the last part of the sentence - "that I know of". I didn't say they didn't exist. Second, I said "much over" 40. I just sort of made a round number up based on the last time I heard high mpg touted. I don't really consider 45 to be significantly over 40.
One interesting thing about these goals is that we do not currently have even a solid hint of an idea as to how to solve them.
While the Personal Spacecraft challenge was indeed a monumental feat, it was largely an engineering challenge. Humans have already sent themselves into space many times. The technology was there; humans have a fair understanding of chemical rocketry and aerodynamics.
These new challenges are in a different league. No one has yet decoded that much human DNA that quickly. No one has made a [practical] vehicle that runs much above the 40 mpg mark (that I know of).
These challenges represent not just break throughs in engineering, but in the fundamental knowledge that underpins them.
You may still be in luck. Lockheed Martin largely touts itself as a Systems Integrator. Depending on the contract, they make few software products themselves. Instead, they turn to Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software for most of their solutions. Their main role is to allow multiple vendors (archival systems, viewing systems, email systems, and other related technolgogies) work together. They work to sell a complete solution, top to bottom, composed of products from companies like yours.
I hope not. Not for fear of linux viruses one way or the other, but because of browser (http header) spoofing. There's no sure fire way of knowing someone's browser and os. You need a plugin or extension that provides authentication (a feature I'm sure these AV services provide.)
Correct, the lichens can only last 15 days, but this part is key: "the most complex form of life now known to have survived prolonged exposure to space." It doesn't mean that the lichens are the capsule of inter-planetary life. It implies that there may very well be some forms of life capable of long-term space exposure. This is a single terrestrial lichen. There are plenty of reasons to believe that there exist other, more extremophile like organisms that can surpass the lichen in logevity.

If someone wants to believe in ID, by all means, that is your choice. However, the reason the scientific community is reticent to "merge" the two is that their is no scientific fact or observation supporting ID. It is a tautology, stating that there' must be a Designer because the world can't exist without one. That's just bad science.
ajax simply is a reference to the fact that messages are passed directly back and forth between the webpage and the server without changing pages. yes, it is dhtml in some light, but simply calling it dhtml does not explicitly reference the fact that xml messages are being passed back and forth. this is what the term ajax is highlighting.
Javascript is a language. AJAX (or whatever the hell you choose to call it) is a method - a way of using javascript, xml, and asynchrous server/client message passing to create dynamic webpages. AJAX is not just Javascript. They can't really be compared at all. It's like trying to say that painting is just a brush or driving is just a car.
Sure. I'm not actually commenting on AJAX. I do believe it has its time and place, not that it is a universal solution. I was just pointing out that the parent poster was being asinine.
"AJAX" is a retarded and non-sensical name made up by a consulting company who wanted to make themselves sound important. I can't believe you people are falling for it.
And what would your rather we call it? And what magical consulting company is this? If they've done such a good job making themselves sound important then certainly you must be able to come up with their name off the top of your head. (oh wait, you didn't include their name in your post:P)
No one is "falling" for anything. It's a name that works for a useful technology.

That's just it. Because it's pay-per-email, trying to spam using this service will, in theory, be cost-prohibitive.

Ok, true, a worm. That doesn't change the fact that an infection is possible and that av software works to quarantine it.

What on earth did they lie about? They screwed up and they're trying to tell you how to fix it. This is not a commercial vs. oss debate - sheesh!

Didn't we see Apple patent this sort of thing recently? Can anyone describe how this patent may or may not apply to the above demo?

You didn't read his whole post. He wants advice on how best you'd like it fixed.

Right. You'll note that if you look at the inside of the supposed TP roll, it's not your standard brown paper tube (nor does it resemble one at all.)

Does that highlight the difference for you?
