The Space Elevator Will Mean: Less Parking, Weird Ribbon Thing, Constant Loud Whirring Noise, Increased Space Elevator Truck Traffic. Developers have submitted plans to build a massive space elevator in Williamsburg! This monstrosity, completely out of context with existing development in the neighborhood, will be accessible only to the wealthy, forcing thousands of average Williamsburgers from their homes and live-work spaces! Jobs the elevator will generate (operators, repairmen, astronauts) are certain to go to non-residents! Don't sit idly by and let this elevator cast its impossibly long, cold, and very narrow shadow over our homes! CALL 311 AND TELL THEM 'I JUST DON'T NEED THIS SPACE ELEVATOR!'
No, he is right on subject. The logical conclusion based on the four possibilities you provided was that you believe it an absurd assumption that the universe was not created by an intelligent being. His use of God is interchangeable with "intelligent entity", in which you clearly believe.
Having a full browser on a phone is compelling for corporate users. It expands possibilities for intranet applications, as well as just using the full web when necessary. I have a Blackberry Pearl, which is a fantastic device, but beyond reading content on web sites, it's not much use on the web, just like every other smart phone. Being able to fill out web forms and use drop downs, etc., is major for the corporate road warrior. All Apple needs to do is match what Blackberry has done in Exchange integration and it's a corporate home run. As for it being too expensive, the Razr was $500 at introduction and it flew of the shelves. To reiterate, the browser is the iPhone's killer app and should not be underestimated.
That will save on battery life and improve image quality, but I wouldn't expect that to improve data transfer. That is, unless the h.264 files are much smaller than the equivalent Flash files. They could be, but it depends on the image quality.
I have my Blackberry Pearl set up as a bluetooth modem for my Macbook Pro and it is on AT&T's EDGE network in NYC. A two minute youtube video takes about four minutes to load, so you can start watching at about the halfway mark.
If we just ask the terrorists where they will be staying and what their plans are, we will have no difficulties thwarting their plans. These are pious folk - they wouldn't lie.
The supreme court would smack this down hard. There are already parental controls for those who need them. I think the tiers of "decency" are a good idea as a marketing idea for cable companies, but it shouldn't be mandated by the state.
Agreed. My ancestors used to put on skirts, paint themselves blue, and attack Roman patrols. If tried doing that and attacking some Italian tourists, I suspect there would be no legal protection for my culture.

I installed Safari on XP under Parallels and compared it in coherence mode to the native Mac OS version. From a rendering perspective, right down to the font rendering and subpixel antialiasing, they are utterly identical.

The previous post said that the ideas demonstrated had only been conceived, not implemented. My point was that that is not true. The part where they interface with wireless devices may be new, however.

That was pretty much a perfect post.

iPhone is EDGE (for this year, at least), thus the relevant comment I made about streaming YouTube over EDGE.

Appointments don't always turn out how the appointer expected. Read up on Nixon's Supreme Court.
No, me. I say fisting is indecent. At least without a LOT of Vaseline. Ok, maybe not indecent, but damn uncomfortable

I'll bite. Google or YouTube Jeff Han.
Jeff Han might disagree.

He doesn't need a rubber. His cock is made of solid brushed aluminum.
Thank you - better said than I could have.
I can't believe coders are buying into Dvorak. Haven't we had enough of his intentionally inflamitory punditry?
Excuse me, the Internet is a series of tubes, not pipes.

Well, at least the people in this 48% lack the intelligence to reach positions of power and influence. Oh, wait a minute....
