Because then you have to leave these things out in the sun, where they will get stolen, or suffer from heat stress issues, warping of plastics, water damage, etc.
Its also hard to charge an 18V battery from the 5V typical that you get from a laptop sized solar panel.
Power monkeys and similar are the way to go, especially if capacitor based batteries come around, then you can charge devices from the powermonkey in minutes.
Its worse than that, some hardware manufacturers go out of their way to create a buggy DSDT table (Like the Foxcomm debacle of late) or are using the MS supplied DSDT compiler (which lies about warnings and errors) or are just plain incompetant.
Interoperability - as much as it pains you to acknowledge it, most of the world still runs Windows. In some places it still requires Windows. Until that changes my statement remains true.
Actually, most of the world runs the likes of Symbian, VxWorks and Blackberry OS.
E.g. Miss A posts a picture on facebook. Then Facebook hold a conference, and during one session, a speaker demontrates the new search, and that photo appears in the search results. Miss A has explicitly allowed (in the ToS) that photo to be prestented in cases like this, so it stops Miss A (who is a nutter) sueing every time the photo comes up in a Facebook demo.
Use of am image in a magazine or TV advert would probably be outside of the terms, and a judge might interpret that as a copyright breach.
There is no EULA on the chrome browser, its licensed under BSD. Although BSD does allow other licenses to be applied, there are no other licenses applied to the browser by google.
The terms posted are for Google services, as in the data you send to Google. Those terms apply to any use of Google services, no matter what browser.
In the UK (and EU) the retailer is the one with full responsibility for the product, as they are the ones you have a contract with. Manufacturers often choose to take an interest and offer their own free repair service, as most big retailers love to make refunds and repairs rather difficult.
Because these statutory rights are based on contract law, I guess it may be similar in North Amorica too.
The problem with MVC in an Ajax application is that there is a 4th component, the one that communicates with the server to get the data that populates the model.
If you use MVC with JavaScript and xmlhttprequest, you find the calls to xmlhttprequest fit naturally into the 'controller' group of javascript functions, but the callback functions fit naturally into the 'model' part, as they are updating the model (which will be a data object in the DOM) and driving the functions that update the view.
Theres also issues with what happens when the server is supplying HTML to be inserted into the view, which sort of bypasses the model, and can also make National Language Support difficult.
Seems a bit simplistic to me, I'd have thought that they'd turn the photos into a virtual world, using the colour corrected photos to create wireframes and bumpmaps and then being able to apply whatever lighting and other effects to the world. That allows you much more freedom to use other methods (e.g. LIDAR) to populate the database.
Creating 3d models also allows you to remove transient objects (people), or add objects to the scene, e.g. what would David look like on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square.
I suspect the reason they've done it this way is more about the patents than practical application.
Google — you could have one central authority organize everything into a single hierarchical structure that's organized very well... or, you can do as good of a guess as possible with lots of help from machines.
Yeah, but then it would be a hierarchical officious oracle, but someones already done that so it would be yet another hierarchical officious oracle, which has also been done so it would have to be yet another yet another hierarchical officious oracle, or YAYAHOO!
I think it might work, unless Microsoft are looking to move into that market segment.
Hello, by 'reasonably modern hardware' do you mean those newfangled silent,fast SSD drive thingies? I think I read somewhere that Vista doesnt play nice with them.
Maybe you mean the latest CPUs comming out the Fabs, like the Atom and Via low power chips. I may have read a story about a hardware company (I think is was Asus) producing a low power device (the Eaaa PC?) that runs the latest Linux, but for the Windows version, they chose Windows XP over Vista for performance reasons.
Perhaps you mean new hardware designs like the Cell architecture and other SMP designs coming to a Blade Center near you. The NT base for Vista has a shitty scheduler, and appears to require 1 NIC per CPU for good performance, which is going to make 32-way CPUs rather expensive if you want to run Windows.
I was going to mock Windows for not being able to run on Cell based machines like the PS3, but it looks like somebody has managed it, pffft.
If you work in a car factory (say Porsche), you use the specialized tools you are assigned to use for the tasks you're supposed to do. This applies even if you're one of the designers of a new car - you don't just go out using your own CAD application 'cause you think you know best.
Is that actually true?
Car designers are not a small team all working for one company, but are a lead designer co-ordinating the input of possibly 1000s of designers across 100s of companies. The aircon comes from one company, the mirrors from another, seats, wires, plugs, belts, carpets, radios, locks, all from smaller companies.
You might like to specify a single CAD system across the whole of the supply chain, but the truth is that the best you can do is specify CAD file formats and let the individual companies decide what products (and at what version levels) they use.
BTW, your central 'top down' approach is in direct contradiction with the approach used by Toyota and other successful car companies, which is the manufacturing equivalent of Agile Development.
Not that I'm a fan of gentoo, but it does have a binary bootstrap thing, and also is able to offload the compilation onto other machines using distcc or similar.
For localhost's sake, change it to a different subnet. If you get another deity on your network, they will start a religious war over the one true IP address. 192.168.168.192 is where real gods hang out.
Ive found any 64bit OS is going to be missing critical ports of software, I guess this is a bigger problem on Windows where there are more 3rd party applications.
I also think many of her problems were with gnome rather than with 'Linux'. I'm sure the resize and mp3 locating issues would not have occured with KDE.
Do you inform your customers that their data is shipped to remote sites unencrypted?
Yes, failure to restore due to password loss is a risk, but then so is data escape.
Having identified the password issue, you need to have a scheme to protect against password loss, particularly long-term backups. Just not encrypting replaces one problem with another.
Respond to whom?
The legal owner of the botted machine isnt using the hotmail addresses, and hotmail doesnt know the proper address of the legal owner.

Its pretty common for Windows to start getting suspend resume glitches as the OS gets updated. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=windows+resume+problem
Ive had the best luck with suspend/resume from Asus equipment, although I expect they have had "the visit" and will start shipping crap at any moment.
Its actually a Beowulf cluster of these things, powered by a bloke on a bike. This may be the first slashdotting of a human.
It may slow down a bit when groups like "The Yes Men" start turning up. Maybe a few fake takedown notices to major news organisations might help too.
It's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck.
So it's not a EULA or LAEU at all. It's a duck.
No, it just weighs the same as a duck. Therefore it floats, therefore its made of wood, and should be burnt for witchcraft!

Its more to cover themselves in corner cases.

how long will I have to continue running 3.5.x?
12 to 18 months

You could try comparing handwriting to that of colleagues of Frank Shoemaker.
Also, does the paper have any indentations from previous letters, and can the paper itself be identified as a particular type?

Except if you are Microsoft, when: lightgrey & darkgrey are colours; gray is a color; and grey, lightgray & darkgray are errors.
Then you are not a Christian. See Matthew 25:41.
I think gays are perfect just the way God made themThen you are not a Christian. See 1 Corinthians 6:9
You may think you are a Christian, but you are clearly a heretic who preaches that some of your Bible's most clearly laid out laws can be ignored.
Actually, I'm using a British patented septic detector.
