Well, two things to think about. Cells use frequencies other than 2.4GHz and 5.1GHz for communications. But I don't believe that wireless communication devices are really a major threat to aircraft - they didn't take my phone away at the TSA checkpoint. If I was a malicious passenger, and wanted to take down an airline, do you think they'd let me through the gate with a device that will disrupt the plane's instrumentation if it's switched on? I've flown all over the place, and casually forgotten to turn my cell off. Just didn't occur to me. Guess what? I made it to the destination, and so did the other 200 people on the flight. I wonder how often that happens.
Linux definately has a larger presence than Mac. Why? It's free, and runs on damn near anything.
Number of Windows boxes in my apartment: 2
Number of Mac OS X boxes in my apartment: 1
Number of Linux boxes in my apartment: 5
Why? It runs. On. Anything.
Oh, and FWIW, my apartment complex is locked-in to RoadRunner, and it pisses me off. I wish I could get something like SpeakEasy DSL, or really anything but TimeWarner's service. The service is okay, but every once in a while it throws me through a loop; the cable modem will occasionally lose the incoming coax signal and just sit and spin for about two minutes, and TimeWarner actually quadruple billed me for this month's service. HTF does that happen?!
Greet my mentor (if he's there before me). His office lies between the front door and my desk, so it behoves me to say good morning to him. Plus, if something's gone so horribly sideways that the alert system AND the backup alert system went down, he's the guy who'd have a handle on it. Otherwise, he's always got something spiffy to show off.
Make my way to my desk, drop the bag in my chair, unlock the machine and check the status board.
If all is green, I turn around into the server room, check the status on servers / disks, looking for anything amber or out of place. Check backup tapes.
If anything is red and not being handled by the time I arrive, I own the situation until I'm satisfied that the bitch is fixed, or atleast on the path of being made right. Once this is done, GOTO 2.1.
I grab the CRM guy and we go hunt down cups of coffee. Talk about applications projects versus infrastructure projects. Generally plodding around.
Move bag to floor, unpack laptop, check backup jobs (great, so the tapes spun off, did the freaking data verify once it was done?)
Checking emails (time usually 9:00am). Reply, respond, get projects fired up, or start doing damage control for outside sales, or marketing, or whomever has the bug in their ass this morning/week/month.
...it's only a short-term solution. It's great if the patient is to be kept isolated, away from any other source of new infection (after the 'sponge' is removed).
The sponge works to remove the active contaminant from the patient's bloodstream - it does not, however, allow the patient to build up an autoimmune response to the target contaminant.
Neat idea, tho.
"Google must blur this area because burglars could use the pictures to plan an escape route along the back of the garden which is hidden from normal view." You've been in Farmer Maggot's crop again!
While you are correct, I don't know many cameras with the shutter speed capable of taking a completely still photo of a component that's moving at a few thousand RPM. There isn't even any blur, or any displacement in the text. Given the quality of the other shots, I'm not willing to concede that the camera is of sufficient quality to take such a photo.
This $50 expansion is basically a big patch for their game. Look at what they added.. basically they fixed a bunch of problems with the game, does that warrant $50?
You know nothing. They've added an entire new world, two new races, new professions, extended the existing professions, as well as having fixed a host of issues (and introducing entirely another set!). Of course, the game is not without it's flaws (and deep ones, at that), but Blizzard has actually done a very good job with this expansion. It isn't just more of the same old shit.
...infact, most businesses with practices like this fail miserably. Infact, I encountered just such a situation today!
My company recently bought a handful of off-lease refurb machines from a major brand distributor (the OEM). They were marked cleaned, and sanitized, and sent to us without an operating system. Or, atleast, that's what we'd ordered.
Imagine my level of surprise when I found LIVE DATA on the only machine I've unpacked so far. These are off-lease, and came from a company that's folded, but the disks weren't scrubbed at all.
Probably, but those tapes are useless if you don't have the apparatus to recover the data on them. There's something to be said for defending your hard work from fire - literally - if it comes down to it.
Freakin, spin the clock ahead to Dec 31, 2999 and see what happens.

That, and the fact that if you rely on the contact list / address book, you're up shit creek without a paddle if/when you lose/damage/destroy/need your phone.
Awesome. I grew up in love with the idea of the Hubble. A remote optical platform from which to shoot insanely high-quality and far-reaching deep space photos is a powerful tool we should not let to waste.
The willingness to keep the Hubble alive in the midst of so much strife in the world today has made me feel just a little bit better about today.
I was all excited to pick it up and play, too. Just itching to order a new video card (over instead of buying a new Mac) to play this and a handful of other gems on. Guess I'll be sticking with the 360.
The line must be drawn here. Not even this far, certainly not any farther!
Business practices such as these really are an insult to the community. 'You're going to take our crap and like it!' - and the shitty part is that people do, over and over again. Stop cramming advertisements up my ass - I don't care about your shitty product. If I get my arm blown off in 2142, I don't want to see an advert for Bandaids. I certainly am not interested in a Dodge Neon.
I hope the lack of my sale takes money out of your pocket twice. I'll be encouraging all of my friends to cancel their preorders, now, and some of them are significantly more paranoid about Crapware than I am.

How about a temperature register suddenly containing a non-numeric value? Not even non-numeric, but a NaN value or a NaHexN value...

Extendable Tools Configuration...
No, really.
Spool up the FTL Drive; begin jump-prep. Let's hope we don't get too close to the atmosphere, else we might fall like a rock.
265mb of RAM, eh? Where'd you get the 9mb stick?

Yeah, I hear it's got a problem with clogging tubes.
I just called GameStop and cancelled my preorder.

...I wonder if they'll (they being IBM or associated developers) include an implementation of The Evil Bit in the next build of ReiserFS.
Why sir! My very first job was programming binary load lifters - very similar to your vaporators in most respects...
