I know on the land animal front most are, with exceptions such as the elephant (4-wheel drive) and the hyena (I believe has a strange and unique front wheel drive motion).
I'm away a great deal, and have need of being able to have someone pick up my post/water my plants etc, it is very convienient to drop a key off to someone so they can get in. Far more so than inviting someone round and getting there details into the locking software's database.
However I can see that once the info is in the database there could be an ability to set which of the people are allowed in, blocking priviledges to certain people at one time, and granting another. This would make the system ideal for someone like myself. Though I do see there could be some problems in the event of fire/some form of emergency in terms of getting in/out, one would hope these contigency plans would have been thought about.
OK, I lied, I feel like a fool, and deserve to be ridiculed and generally beaten to within an inch of my very existence.
I managed to find the update button, under the help menu. Why is it not in the tools/options menu, indeed, why is it in a menu at all? Surely, at minimum, it should be given a menu option all to itself?
Agreed, the best new feature is the update system, however, if you click "No" on the would you like to update box, there appears to be no option to manually update (with the exception of course of going to mozilla.org and getting it from there).
A simple update now button would be perfect, much like there is for extensions/themes.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the first proof that use of the internet makes one too lazy to even use the internet.
Perhaps this is waht Mr. Berners-Lee meant, laziness is probably the greatest spur for creativity and imagination (at least in terms of technological innovation).
Nice, but apparently it'll only hold 100 songs. And if that is true, it is not nearly enough capacity to make me switch from carrying both an MP3 player and a mobile.
I'm in favour of most of the changes as well, it seems to have stripped out most of the redundant features and added some neccesary, and needed ones. I am still a little concerned that RSS does not become too 'feature rich', there is a reason it is called RSS.
The next gen of these devices are meant to be a problem for airplanes (though I feel their fears will only be realised if an entire neighborhood were to be using these deveices). As quoted from here.
"When you've got high frequencies going through wires that aren't shielded then those wires act an antenna because the carrier waves - the waves they're having to send down the power lines - are in the same frequency band used by short wave radio."
That means that using the mains as a home network could interfere with your enjoyment of shortwave radio, which is used by lots of broadcasters around the world, including the BBC World Service, and air traffic control.
I've tried using a couple of these out at home, and though the performance is obviously poor compared to cable, it's more than adequate for browsing the web.
Not as revolutionary as Nintendo's next, the "Parasite".
Needing a computer to connect to so that it can use its CPU & GPU, it represents the very essence of Nintendo philosophy, the re-use and recycling of known and proven technology.
I dunno, I feel thermodynamics was equally as hard to formaulate. The steps required from the base platform of knowledge were just as steep as those required for the stuff you mentioned.
The breakthroughs in the mathematical methods required to solve the problems are just as various, just as thought provoking, and the solutions will prove to be just as ingenious.
Agreed, I still find it amazing that we can send these probes out into space, take some photographs, send the images back to planet earth and see the beauty of our solar system whilst sitting in a comfy chair.
I also find it amazing that no matter where we travel nowadays we always find the need to take photographs and there is always one picture with a fingerprint blocking the view.
Ecclestone made a damn fine doctor, making the series seem a bit darker than usual, whilst still keeping the series "Britishness".
I hadn't seen David Tennant before Casanova (a good little series IMHO), but I thought he gave the series both levity and a certain ruggedness, which are essentials to being a good doctor.
Hopefully he will continue what has been a very promising start to the new Doctor Who, though I do kind of miss the wobbly sets (The Slitheen kind of brought back the memories).
they're admitting they're not trying to stop big pirate-mills but slow down the consumer
I think that the major benefit Sony will gain from this policy is to educate users/copiers at an early age that copying the CD is not considered a legitimate practice, by forcing these regulations. However they are doing it in a *friendly* way, i.e. by all means make a back up of the CD, but please make your friends buy their own copy.
I should imagine that with the e-mails, there will come a letter advising the copier on the rules of copying CD's, that it should be only for personnal use etc.
It is probably felt at Sony that this is a far gentler, better way of influencing people not to make *illegal* copies.

Now that would be a great business plan, charging people for things they don't buy.
Now, how to market it.
Obviously the RIAA's attempt has been less than satisfactory.
On a similar vein are all fish rear wheel drive?

What? Surely it should read:-
Some songs should be $0.99 and some songs should be less.
Oh wait, hang on, this is the music industry we are talking about isn't it?
Perhaps:-
Some songs should be $0.99 and some songs we should be able to bend you over, take you from behind and rape you for the bitch you consumers are.
. . . would be more appropriate.
I actually think the real reason could be pure marketing.
Windows no longer uses the insecure encryption that certain other OS' use, upgrade your security now, upgrade to Vista.
A classic quote to appeal to the PHB's and their ilk.

Don't forget the chicks man, never forget the chicks.

Why do you find it unappealing?
Is it as unappealing as the idea of a few cells encased in dirt, bacteria and poo, multiplying, replecating, literally just sitting there as it grows?
Just sounds to me as though we are now growing meat, as we would a vegetable.
True I hadn't seen any photos. So I thought I'd have a quick look.
Seems like a good, practical idea.
Why do these game systems still refuse to be released with a game included?
On a different topic, how many games are going to feature a sticker stating that it "Requires X-Box hard drive"?
Hopefully MS will allow gamers to upgrade the product.
"Oh my god nooooo, run for your life!! It's got a microphone"
"Look at my teeth so clean and white, you other fools bet'ah get out'ah my sight
Yeah you bet'ah run before I break you fools metatarsals, Oh yeah, I got more rapping than a game of 'Pass the parcel'.
You think this shit comes from a whack immune system? If you believe that then you be lacking wisdom."
"Nooo, it's too late, it's so awful"
Indeed, I am certainly looking forward to the podcast of "How to listen to a podcast"
I think you're confusing those with the Holodeck representations of Holodeck articles.
Those are the worst!
Because Microsoft wins?
No I don't believe CSS is compliant with MS yet, though I'm sure one day they'll catch up with the Redmond standards.
