I already had ATT so wtf do i care about jail breaking.
You're confusing jailbreaking with unlocking.
Jailbreaking=running third-party apps from sources other than the app store. Lots of people have jailbroken phones that are still SIM locked to AT&T. I used to have one until I sold it on eBay.
Unlocking=using a wireless carrier other than AT&T.
None of them could just send me a darn shift key. I just want the key, I can do the rest myself. With any other vendor, replacing my shift key would have been simple. Hell I can get a cheap laptop for $283.
Have you tried ifixit.com? The parts may be used, and you may void the warranty by replacing it yourself, but it's an option. (I'm not defending Apple in this--I got pissed when my local Apple store wouldn't swap my iMac's hard drive with a new one that I would supply--just offering an alternative.)
Now, I still have my PowerBook so I can spark it up to deauthorize the computer if I want too, but that's still annoying. In 12 - 15 years, I have a real problem on my hands...
You can also go into iTunes and de-authorize all your computers and selectively re-authorize them.
Now, granted, if there was no DRM this would not be an issue. However, it's there, and this is how you deal with that situation.
Now, let's use WiFi in my moving car. HAHAHA yeah, that's a total joke. So we'll use T-Mobiles network for $20 a month... umm, maybe not. Let's use AT&T's network. Streaming data plan? $60 a month. Better hope you're in one of the urban areas that support the high speed data! ORRRRRRR... you could buy a $50 Satellite receiver, pay $12 a month (or $6 if you know someone nice) and do away with a $60/mo data plan AND have access to the signal anywhere in the US.
The AT&T iPhone G3 data plan is $30/month for unlimited data. Where did you get your $60/month streaming data information?
I've also streamed for several hours on the battery. Plugging it in is an option, of course. How long does a satellite radio last on battery power alone?
I have seven apps for streaming audio, and I'm pretty sure they were all free (or at most 99 cents). They work over WiFi or 3G or EDGE. Coverage i sisolated areas leaves something to be desired, but at the same time, AT&T's EDGE coverage footprint is hardly "microscopic."
Is the iPhone + streaming audio app a "satellite radio killer?" No, but it's not the uber-expensive, impractical solution you make it out to be either.
Maybe computers should come with branching power cords, so they could be plugged into multiple electric sockets simultaneously, to balance the draw ?
Now why would you do that? Too many cords. Just get a two-phase 220 vac outlet in the computer room and you're good to go. The side benefit is that you also have a power socket for the portable welder when installing/repairing the copper piping that supplies cooling water.
Yep, PithHelmet (anti-ad plug-in) causes 3.2 (Mac, of course) to blow up every time when using multiple tabs. Removing its bundle from/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ made it stable as a rock again (no problems at with about 15 tabs open, with varying kinds of embedded content), but, sadly, I'm buried with ads again.
It could be done... in a sense. If they used their new virtualization technology (which actually isn't half bad, the beta even lets you take multiple snapshots, unlike vmware server), they could theoretically build in a "compatibility" model that could be enabled/disabled but could run older windows applications even if they new OS is radically different in how it handles such things.
Sort of like what Apple did with OS 9/OS X?
If so, the trouble with that might be that the legacy OS (Win XP or Vista) is so large that the legacy OS portion would double the size of the installation. If I recall correctly, the OS 9 support in OS X only added 400 MB to the installation, as OS 9 itself wasn't that large. What was really nice about it was that it could easily be removed if you didn't need the legacy support.
(I may be wrong in my size estimates or misunderstand the OS 9 legacy support, as I moved from Windows XP to OS X when Tiger was released and have little experience with OS 9.)
In other words, I don't think they had the idea of people owning guns to protect their home and overthrow the government, but more for the idea of protecting the country against attack.
And if the entity attacking the country (i.e. We, the People) is said government?
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3: ": No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
If I read that right, it means to retroactive laws; telecom immunity being proposed in this law is granting immunity to illegal acts committed prior to the law and hence unconstitutional.
As an EE major this seriously makes me want to hurt someone.
As an EE major you should make it a senior project to prove/debunk this scientifically.
Take a CD (or better yet, several CDs of different brands) and record a set of sounds on them. For example, record sine wave tones of 50, 500, 1k, 5k, 10k, and 20k Hertz. Go a step further and record square and sawtooth waves of the same set of audible frequencies.
Now, run the audio output of a CD player (the CD drive audio out will suffice I would think) into a oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer and capture the resulting output wave/spectrum. Maybe take a few sample runs and compile each run into an average.
Get your EE dept. to buy one of these devices (you're a college student; don't spend your own money), treat the CDs with the device, and repeat the test. Compare the audio waveform and the spectral content before and after the "demagnetization" treatment.
You will note the the 6moons site states that the equipment and CDs "sound" better; it's purely subjective. YOU, on the other hand, will scientifically demonstrate what we all believe to be a big sham. "Just like with treated CDs, a veil or haze was lifted and more and finer details were able to make it through to the listener." Yeah, because the listener believed that was supposed to happen.
AFAIK Article II is only relevant if the US is formally at war. Only the congress has the right to declare war, and hasn't done so since World War II.
Enlighten me too...I can't see how Article II applies to powers during time of war at all, and I have it open in front of me right now. The topic of war isn't even mentioned in Article II.
DriveSavers can save your dead drives so check out DriveSavers today and see their other link about DriveSavers and did I mention DriveSavers.
The recovery team did not give away many secrets, but they did reveal a number of insights into the process. Cool article, just wish it didn't read like an advertisement.

That's an easy one...you buy it used on eBay, Craigslist, etc.

Did you tell this to Toyota?

I thought it looked more like an older iBook than a MacBook.
What struck me was the name...MSI Wind...MacBook Air...hmm...

In the event of a tie between the two systems, perhaps a Honeycut system to break the tie.
I'd have suggested a MacBook Pro or a notebook running Ubuntu
" Although copyright issues really have little to do with national security... "
Try telling that to the US Gov't.
Not just frowned upon; unconstitutional.

Kinda makes you want to stock up on analog equipment like VCRS and videotape, doesn't it?
Make the viewer your enemy...good idea...

I've read Article II several times. How does Article II apply to fighting terrorism and allowing domestic warrantless wiretaps?
My guess is...it DOESN'T, and referencing the Constitution just sounds official.
Smartphones/PDAs are not just used for business, after all.
Clearly this is the result of having FAR too much free time.
