Just because it's a touch screen doesn't mean it can't have a keyboard like interface. The iPhone doesn't have a keyboard. I'm guessing that we will see the end of single purpose input devices like the keyboard.
Unless the Earth experienced a 100% ice-free period, descendants of those original cryophiles would be with us to this day. I believe that is the case. A few very large volcanic eruptions increased the CO2 and caused high temperatures and no polar ice caps. I think this is one of the theories as to why we have such large oil deposits. Without the polar ice caps the ocean currents stopped flowing, and the CO2 in the atmosphere was removed very slowly by algea that died and sank to the ocean floor and in the right areas were trapped and converted into an oil deposit.
Of course it is a little bit more involved than that and this is only my vague layman understanding. Someone else can fill in all the details.
We used DFS as well. When it works, it works really well. Unfortunately it does seem to be a bit temperamental sometimes so you have to keep an eye on it because if it gets out of sync it can take ages to catch up.
The other disadvantages are no file locking between sites so it is possible for one user to overwrite the changes made by a user at another site. While you can retrieve this data it can't be done by the user and it's up to the user to realise what has happened.
We have also found its reporting to be kind of flaky. It stopped reporting for us once and the only way to fix was to completely rebuild it.
Heck, setup a Unix server or Windows Terminal Server and you can push out the app just as effectively. Oh sure, I'll just get my Grandmother right onto that. Apart from sysadmins for a company, who is really going to bother? And would you pay for a Citrix or Terminal Server license? I have the technical skills to do all of this but there is no way I could be arsed doing it for my own personal use.
This takes something that used to be reserved for the Enterprise environment and makes it available to the every day joe.
One of my favorite comedy movies is "Flying High" (or Airplane to non Australians), but those types of movies are only really great when you see it with lots of people. On your own they are kind of lame.
I know, I was just making a joke. But the truth of the matter is all these "Pay for Email" schemes may sound great in theory, but they will never be implemented.
There is no practical way to do it. You either have to convince everyone to abandon the email protocols for something else, at which point you might as well implement a properly authenticated system with digital signatures etc etc, which won't happen unless everyone can see the actual benefits. Or you have to start monitoring Internet traffic at the protocol level and sending bills to people, and that just opens up a whole new Pandora's Box. After all, if you are allowed to do it for email, why not everything else? Why can't I charge for each website a person visits, etc etc. Most the arguments against a system like this have already been put forward in the Net Neutrality debate.
On the Internet, yes. Because, ya know, the spammers won't just move to where spam isn't illegal, like Nigeria or something.
Wake up, they are already committing fraud, and already breaking the law. The agencies already exist that fight fraud, and yet how many spammers have actually been caught and charged with fraud? How much of this spam has actually been stopped?
Of course, a Government agency to fight this stuff. Because agencies/businesses that devote their entire business model to prevent other illegal activities like online piracy has worked real well. After all it has caused the Pirate Bay has disappear and go out of business./sarcasm
Everyone knows what spam is, but it's economical because there are idiots out there who ignore the warnings and buy the crap anyway. So it seems that the only ways to make spam uneconomical is to either remove idiots from the Internet (Internet Utopia here we come!), or stop the spam from getting to them.
Re:I bought the dvd the day it came out

Futurama Returns!

· Score: 1
I felt the same way as you. However, I just watched it a second time and I liked it a lot more.
I'm now willing to say that Futurama is indeed back and I can't wait for the next movie to come out:D
I wouldn't dismiss it yet. This is only one person.
Would you completely dismiss some new IT products because Steve Balmer speaks out calling it garbage? Probably not.
If lots of other people also spoke out calling it garbage then you might start paying attention. Now I don't know if this guy is the Steve Balmer of the physics community or not, but I know nothing about him so why should I trust his word over some other guy I know nothing about either?
It seems to not be an option on the main Calendar. After creating a new calendar you can get a private link to that one.
From what I have read elsewhere that the domain settings need to allow calendar sharing.
So I now have GCalDaemon installed and having other issues with it. It will sync my calendar, but get the event time wrong. It's an hour out even though timezones are enabled in both. I suspect either iCal or gCal isn't aware of Daylight savings.
Needs more playing with, but I might give up for the moment. It seems all of this might be irrelevant as Leopard has changed the iCal file format.
I know where it is supposed to be, but it's just not there. It shows up in my standard gmail account. But doesn't appear to be an option in google apps.

Except the Oxygen Catastrophe caused the first ice age.
With ice in abundance the ice tolerant creatures have just as much, maybe a greater chance of surviving.
This is completely off-topic, but the event I mentioned is called an Anoxic Event ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event ) and how this relates to oil production is talked about in this fascinating documentary

Well the obvious answer to that is to just put in more CCTV. We need more! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

There hasn't been a decent newspaper comic since The Farside.
I think PBF has a similar random dark humor.

I think they probably built it to be their new customer complaints manager.
So now when people call up to complain the robot can play a tiny violin in mock sympathy.

And how exactly do you propose we do this?

I still don't understand. Are you able to use a Car Analogy?
That does explain the dangly bits.

The only problem I have found is I don't seem to have a private URL for my calendar.
:(
The google help talks about it everywhere, but it just doesn't show up in my settings
Oh well.
Awesome! Thanks for this. Will check it out now.
I just downloaded about 9400 emails without any problems.
Now the only feature I really want is a way for it to integrate the contacts and calendar with my addressbook and iCal.
