So long as your executors can reach atleast your email, they should be able to gain access to anything else.
This is probably the most sensible piece of advice so far in the discussion. For anything important, they have procedures in place and there will probably be physical evidence. For everything where I have paper billing there is something, be it my actual credit card, or the fact that the light work in my house. For stuff like Facebook, if someone has access to your email, they can just get a password reset.
And lets not forget that often remote access leads to some work time being mixed in with personal time.
I would get a lot less done if I could't remote into work or clients in the evening to check on something which was being actioned in a different timezone.
Possibly not need, but if it is there why restrict it more than really necessary for someone with experience
Turn off traction control?
On the track? Also in a some older or less advanced traction control systems it can be a good idea to turn it of in the snow sometimes, or if you have fitted a space saver wheel. In my European Focus a few years ago it would not go above 25mph with a space saver wheel and the TC on.
And turn the stereo up to 11
Really, why not, we are talking about people who should be responsible enough to turn the stereo down when needed, busy junction, driving past a school etc.
IMHO, not having SIM locks would be in Nokia's best interest, because if I were to jump from, say, T-Mobile to AT&T, or move to the frosty north and use Rogers, I could still continue to use my Nokia phone.
Or you could look at it another way and if you are 'forced' to get a new phone if you want to switch carriers then I reckon Nokia will gladly sell you 2 or 3 phone as opposed to 1!
Is there an easy-to-use hardware device which will accept one of these 3G cards
and act like a WiFi accesspoint, for a mobile WiFi solution?
I've been looking for one, but with mixed results.
These do exist, but I can't remember who makes them. I spent a while in Switzerland with me from the UK, a guy from Germany and a Swiss guy all working at a client, we used the Swiss 3G card and a device which does exactly as you describe and it worked really well. I'll come back if it occurs to me later today
Wireless hotspots or I rent another 3G card. It would seem that Telcos the world over are set on using any kind or roaming and data especially to fund a larger private jet for their execs. Calls I can kind of get, but the cost of providing data access abroad must oly be a fraction more than in the home country of the user it should just be ensuring that the billing and access authoriation infra is in place.
Wireless can work pretty well, I used to use iPass which worked in every country I went to, no idea how much that cost though as I was not picking up the tab.
I concur, this makes a massive difference. I work mainly in Europe and sometimes in Africa and when there is a language barrier to work with face time can reduce a meeting to about 1/4 of the time taken if you can whiteboard etc. Also I think that there is an inherent value in meeting face to face the people on your project once in a while, just stuff like office banter, grabing a beer after work.
On the other side, fly sucks, both in terms of environmental cost and just the fact it is a pain and puts you away from home. But I wouldn't stop for a moment, I just want to do whatever makes sense to get stuff done.
... and because of lack of demand still couldn't produce a decent return on investment
That is debatable, BA used Concorde to get corperate accounts by agreeing to a certain number of upgrades to it, these are the people who ar booking flexible business class tickets and so generate huge profits for the airline. Of course it is very difficult to put a quantive figure on how much of an effect this had
This is pretty much the situation for me, I work as a consultant, so have time on the bench in between projects. I'm not about to bust a gut on admin, reading up on things and generally playing with our technology to find something new we can do with it. So I will pitch up at either 7 or 10 to avoid the traffic and leave about 6 hours later. This makes up for all that time I spend on planes and in airport going to clients, working late or early to get stuff done etc. Plus when I am at home I have my laptop on VPN for standard working hours so i still respond to email and MSN.
At the end of the day, it depends on the trust between you and your employer. I give a load extra to them when needed, so I take it easy when there is no harm in it.
You should have got your university priorities right, everyone know that Newcastle is one of the best places to go to uni from an overall view, i.e. education, beer and girls. I got a good degree, drank a lot of beer, and am 5 weeks awaz from getting married to a girl I meet in my first semester there.
The copyright wouldn't expire in the event of this artist death, in this case the copyright would exist for 25 years form the date of recording, as it would be later than the death.
... It may well be, but it doesn't have the bandwidth. I'm from the UK and essentially work for the EMEA region of my employer as a consultant, which has resulted in my last 3 trips being 2 to SA and one to Israel. While there may well be internet in these countries, the bandwidth just isn't there, to the point where Yahoo mail breaks, and facebook, my VPN, Google mail, and I really wouldn't try to watch anything on YouTube.
So, it may be great to get everyone connected, but they will be on a different tier of Internet from a functionality perspective, and I am not sure that SA needs this right now, let alone the whole continent of Africa.
So what you're saying that that the 3rd quarter of the 2006 fiscal year was actually the 1st quarter of the 2006 calendar year? That's not how it works.
The main reasons are purely legal which translate into technical reasons. They don't have permission from the content providers. Groups like MPAA has always tried to maintain strict control of all aspects of release from time and location. DVD, HD-DVD, and BlueRay all have region encoding for a reason. FairPlay would have to match that. Now Apple has to devise a way to separate out all users based on location at the file level so that certain movies do not play for the users until the local release date. That makes things a lot more complicated for FairPlay. So the easiest solution is to limit purchases only to American users.
This issue is already solved, it applies the same to audio. Firstly, iTMS downloads are tied to a user. Secondly, the user it tied to a location and therefore a store, I understand this is done using the billing details of your payment card. So to solve the time issue all Apple has to do is to just make sure they release content into each store at the right time, like I guess they must do with some of the music already.
But you are right, the reason this hasn't happened yet is legal and content rights, it's just the same with the xBox video store, but the technical issues are solved
No way, but you have just reduced your risk of getting mugged. Certainly in London nothing says I have a lot of expensive electronics which is easy to fence than those white buds. Admittedly though as the iPod becomes more prevalent I expect it is becoming less of an issue
For people who use their Hi-Fi/iPod/whatever to listen to music, 128kbps AAC is probably okay, for people who user their music to listen to their Hi-Fi it certainly isn't!
Me, I mainly buy CDs now just because I like to have them on show on the shelf. Heck, half the time I come to changing the CDs in the car changer I burn them from my iTunes library, especially if there is something specific I want to put in there.
WTF is this subway business, the video quite clearly shows him on Londons integrated transport system, managing to hope seamlessly from tube to bus. But then if your not going any specific like say, home, I guess it works like that.
And yes, it's not a subway (pedestrian tunnel under a road) it's the tube or underground.
The premium was several hundred dollars above retail. Someone pocketed that profit and it sure wasn't Microsoft. It'd say the author's point is valid on those grounds alone.
I would disagree as it is about the price drops. You have to wait a certain amount of time before dropping the price, so your initial price point has to ensure sales for about a year say, not the first couple of months. Remember to original Xbox, when MS had to drop the price of that after a few weeks (which happened in the UK, I don't know about elsewhere), they had to give all of the people who paid they higher price accessories and games to compensate and smooth over the PR.
So Xbox 360 are in short supply to start with, but they get:
1) The hype of being sold out.
2) Good will amongst many customers outside the US, at least many more of us had a "chance" at a bite of the cherry..
3) A price which will last them till the PS3 comes out when they can drop the price without aggravating those people who already have one.

Possibly not need, but if it is there why restrict it more than really necessary for someone with experience

Summary:

Me, I mainly buy CDs now just because I like to have them on show on the shelf. Heck, half the time I come to changing the CDs in the car changer I burn them from my iTunes library, especially if there is something specific I want to put in there.
However, I am not sure where the dividing line is for the new wave of semi-automatic transmissions.
I would expect them to be classified as automatic as a semi-automatic is just a different implementation below the interface.
WTF is this subway business, the video quite clearly shows him on Londons integrated transport system, managing to hope seamlessly from tube to bus. But then if your not going any specific like say, home, I guess it works like that.

Chess has eighteen opening moves due to the knights.
That would be 20 opening moves then. 2 for each prawn and 2 for each knights, (2x8)+(2x2) = 20 ;-)
