Personally I prefer using command line FTP to download Firefox on windows machines. That way I never have to use Internet Explorer. On Linux I just urpmi (or whatever your distro uses) to get firefox.
Obviously if the parents are present, the doctor should get the consent of the parent before operating. However, in the absence of the parent, shouldn't the doctor have the right to try and save the child's life? What if they can't even obtain the identity of said child? Wouldn't good Samaritan laws protect the doctor in case the child died on the table, and the parents tried to sue? If the choices are, let the kid die, or operate, and give the kid a chance to live. I hope most doctors would choose the later.
But you can send a Fax from your computer. In which case, there is no original. Actually, you can send a fax from your computer, to another fax which receives the fax and saves it as a file which you can choose to print out later. So, what's the difference between sending a fax, and sending an email with a PDF attachment of the document? After each was printed out, and assuming you scanned at the correct resolution, would anybody notice the difference?
I'm a young guy, but my professors told me stories of how they would have to actually look at a network map and route the emails themselves if there wasn't a direct link between the two endpoints. So yes, while email has existed since the 60's it didn't come into wide use until the 90s.
300 K? That seems pretty low. This slashdot commenting page, when saved to disk, with all it's content, takes up about 500 KB. You probably meant 300 MB. Which I personally find a bit large. But it still only comes in around 9GB. I'm surprise that it's not a feature in more routers to tell you how much bandwidth is being used by each MAC address that connects to the network. I think it would be a really nice feature.
I'm on Rogers in Ottawa, Canada and that's exactly how they handle it. They offer rates as low as $25 per month for 256 kbps/2GB cap all the way up to $100 a month for 18 mbps/90 GB cap. It's really a better way to do it. Personally, I have the 1 mbit/60 GB cap myself, for under $35. It's fast enough for most stuff on the web, and even movies can be downloaded in 5-6 hours if I'm maxing out my connection. Linux distros take a day or two, but I only download those twice a year. I like the idea that you get to choose a plan, and pay less if you actually use less. If you use more, you should be paying more.
I've often wondered about that. If you inspect the empty space on your hard disk, it doesn't look very random at all. You'll find old pieces of files and other interesting things. To the trained eye it looks anything but random. I would argue that having completely random looking data on your hard disk, either in files, or in the empty space, constitutes probable cause for encrypted data. Sure you could argue that your MySecretFiles.tc file is just random data, but I don't think it would hold up in court.
That's why you need real 2 factor authentication. Something you know, and something you have works well. So that even if somebody peeks over your shoulder (or into your brain), to figure out the password, they still don't have access.
I doubt it. First article I could find says that board game sales are around $800 million (2006). The Wii sold roughly 14 million units in it's first year. At an extremely low estimate of $100 a unit for Nintendo's revenue, that would be 1.4 billion in revenue. That doesn't even count how much they made off the games themselves, or accessories.
Most of the mice I've seen come with a "driver disk". They come with a little program to let you configure what buttons 3,4,5,6,... do. All the mice work fine in Linux.
I still think that BluRay is a much better implementation than any online distribution methods for movies currently available. It would be nice if you could just download the movie, and play it on any computer, or burn it to a DVD, but I haven't seen an online method that gives you this. Currently the downloads cost the same or more than the DVDs, and don't have extra content. They can't be burned to DVD, and can only be played on a select list of DRM enabled programs. If you want to watch them on your TV, you have to buy a box that only works with that specific service, or run a wire from your computer to the TV. As nice as it would be to have the ideal digital distribution system in place, the current offerings aren't anywhere close to ideal. It doesn't even seem like they are trying. As far as HD video goes, the best offering is BluRay.
I think the method of preparation has a lot to do with which foods we like. Anybody who says they don't like tofu just hasn't had it prepared well. Same goes for a lot of other foods that people say they don't like. There are some foods that I've just never liked. But they are quite rare.
Except the 2 sentences repeated in the picture doesn't use every letter. It's missing Z,X,V,W,Q,J,B,K,P, and Y. So out of 26 letters, it only uses 16. Probably would have been better to go with Lorem Ipsum.
I don't really get it either. People send more messages on facebook now then they do emails. So now when I got check my email, I find out that I have a message from so-and-so, and then I have to go to facebook to actually read the message. Personally I see it waning in popularity. It was cool at first, but now it's kind of old news. I mostly only go on there if I get a message from someone else, which seems to becoming quite a bit less frequent. I'm sure it's still alive and kicking, but I really don't see what all the fuss is about. It used to be nice, because it was like myspace, except without the ugly pages. Now that all the apps have flooded in, The sites look just as ugly as myspace, except that you can't add any personal flare.
Which might be great if you never have a graphic designer working on the design, while you work on the actual functionality of the system. If you don't code the HTML by hand, you won't be able to get it to look like the designer wants it. And it won't be the designer's fault. In ASP.Net you can write an entire web app without writing a single line of HTML. You can almost write an app (for various definitions of app) without writing a single line of code. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Same with the DDR pads. While they aren't quite as cool as the ones on the arcade machine, they also don't cost thousands of dollars. I've used them on occasion, and they work pretty good. Even for people who are serious about DDR. Maybe if you're one of those tournament DDR players these things don't cut it. But for how use, they do the job just fine.
My brother had the NES Advantage. He beat Blades of Steel in Pro mode with his feet. It helps that with turbo mode you win every face off, but I think it's was quite a feat (no pun intended).
I had a set of those as a kid. I seem to remember it being a lot of fun. The problem was that I only had a small set, and it was quite limited what I could do with it. I find that to be the biggest problem with any of these construction toys. They get really expensive. I was just at Toys 'R us this weekend, looking at legos for the kids, and it was $20 for a (roughly) 10 inch x 10 inch flat floor-type piece. I think that's kind of the reason I got into computers. Once you had the initial computer (which was expensive at the time), you had everything you needed.
$100 an hour for a LAMP developer? Developers are getting paid way too much these days. $100 an hour = 3500 a week for a 35 hour week. That's $182,000 a year. I don't know many developers who make that much money. I also don't know too many who only work 35 hours a week.

When you only have 2 candidates, and it's winner take all, what's the point of voting? Especially when neither candidate is very good.
If all that counts is units sold, they should start to manufacture toilet paper.

I bet that if you cooked it right, and didn't tell people what it was, that most people would think it tasted just fine.
Even though it's taught in schools, I bet most high schoolers would start talking about the other this if you asked them about banana republics.

And the Wii, which can't even play DVD, is outselling both of them. I think Nintendo was smart to stay out of this race.

That's pretty sad. Standard music notation was part of the standard school curriculum for us.
