You clearly have never tried to link to something in their online store. Try sending along a link to someone else to buy it for themselves. It seems like a no brainer but for some reason, no dice.
... and their friggn' problems with keeping the digitizer sync'd up. Everyone I know, even with 3rd party software fixes, can't use their tungstens without recalibrating the screen digitizer once a day. What a piece of crap the T was.
Those look like pretty nice savings, but are they actually sufficient to warrant the switch over to a slower machine?
Welcome to my hell...
All jokes aside, it can be if your users don't need that sort of horsepower. And many do not, especially if IT has a very structured system and are conservative about upgrades, you could easily go three years with no image changes. This can make sense if the org is not obsessed with speed and performace which, in my opinion, many skew, needlessly so, that direction.
The numbers are also more impressive within the framework of a larger energy efficiency/cost cutting framework.
This is a common problem (called a split incentive) and why we end up approaching the energy manager and IT at the same time. Anyone can contact me through the website attached to my/. UID and I can get good info to help you get everyone on the same page.
I agree totally, but with one caveat. I work in energy efficiency and specifically that of computers. Business and Enterprise continue to use 10baseT and show no signs of changing that for their desktops (not saying they are not using WiFi...) and a business with 10K pcs spends hundreds of thousands to as much as a million dollars on energy a year for PCs (including monitor). What this eliminates is a power supply per pc and the attendant overhead. Consolidating the power supplies groups of computers (power supplies/transformers have efficiency issues depending on load). Also, this forces them to build a desktop with the usage profile of a highly efficient laptop to get under the 15.4 watt limit. The cost savings of using this technology could be very attractive to business. The WiFi concern is one in home and small business networks primarily.
Yup, my 2004 saab 93 has more than a few of them. Sometimes the volume control on the steering wheel works, sometimes not (it seems to depend on whether or not I let the car POST before kicking over the engine). I get out of the car and low and behold, my reverse lights are on, nothing else though and I was not in reverse when I shut down the engine. Sometimes when I hit the remote to lock the drivers side door (the only one open) the other three doors open while the drivers side closes. Hit the lock button (as opposed to the unlock button which is seperate) again and the situation reverses and there is still an unlocked door. It takes starting the car back up and waiting to clear it. These are all minor but I would love to know what others are lurking...
The first step to solving this problem is using Speak Easy.... I won't go into details but VZ has been dragging their feet offering DSL, loosing market share for DSL as a whole to cable in the process, simply to kill off the little guys. When they do, they will engage in a particularly nasty price war with cable and eventually settle with 34-45% of the market before jacking up their prices. Get away from the cable and phone monopolies, regardless if there is "competition" in your area, since even with "competition", since they are regulated and game the system big time.
I think you have looked at this from the wrong perspective. Nothing on their site says they can generate a junk file that hashes to the genuine article. They are just saying that they can corrupt the stream. What they are likely doing is creating their own Kazaa, et al client that is claiming a particular hash so it gets into the list of available clients to download from for a particular file. They then stream packets of junk in place of good packets (P2P clients pull packets of files from different sources and reassemble locally). This is somewhat ingenious (given who we are speaking about) actually since they can charge the labels per song and per artist. Once a song is identified as britney spears, they can then claim a copy of it, stream out junk and the file when assembled contains a series of clicks and pops in spots that were downloaded from the service. The only way to combat this is to build blacklists of these junk bots and not connect to them.

Yes! It is simple. The credit reporting agencies can continue doing what they are with regards to credit checks, however one more step needs to be added into the process. Everyone needs to choose a prefered CRA. The reason for this is simple. You build a relationship with that company and when someone wants to open up a line of credit, report a COA (change of address), they must ask the CRA for permission. The CRA then contacts you to verify that change/credit request and if the lender does not, you the borrower, is not liable for the tab. This should also be free to the consumer and paid for by the fees charged for opening lines of credit by the lenders. The consumer should not have to pay for corporate america's total lack of a sense of responsibility for their actions.

As to the real source of all of the problems in the Middle East, hardly it is the situation with the Palestinian Arabs (which you probably mean here), but instead it a complex combination of problems...
Correct. I was being lazy and using shorthand, giving too much weight to the issue of occupation and not drawing that back to it's root issues.
Really cool but suffers from a common problem...

That being one level of hierarchy to display complex data. China (Top with.09%) is top dog because all international press refer to china as a whole and fails to reference individual places in china (ie; Guangdong Province) despite the sheer size of the country. Therefore, China is over represented when looking at news. However, in the case of Gaza (the second highest at.08%), the exact opposite occurs where Gaza steals all of the thunder from the larger Palestinian issue (Gaza is one of two territories in question and is not in Palestine, the place where all of the problems in the middle east originates from).
If, they represented this in hierarchical format, the middle east would dominate by picking up points from children Gaza, West Bank and Palestine (not to mention Iraq). Baghdad is probably a good example here. How much actually happens in areas outside of Baghdad proper but gets labled baghdad anyhow.
...of Sony to want to be out on front of the business model and not just the tech. ie; Betamax, Memory Stick based MP3 players that require conversion to Sony's proprietary format, etc; I pretty much expect to see some gotcha, catch, whatever that will destroy any chance of Sony sucessfully attaining market leader status. Sony is a great technology firm with beyond solid quality mfging and design but they always some how screw up the bidness side of things.

It doesn't matter - Embryonic Stem Cells don't work. Stem Cells harvested from Umbilical Cords, on the other hand, *do* work
And there was a time where people died from the plague, tuberculosis and others. Yet, amazingingly they don't, if properly treated, these days. This is because someone dared to not give up, and tried their experiments over and over again, ever so slightly different each time. eventually finding the right mix of actions to illicit the desired response.
And now that they are contaminated, they are useless, so there will be no more federally funded research on human embryonic stem cells. As your quote points out, future lines are off limits. I wonder who knew that and when...

Otherwise, it will be them who are laughing all the way to the bank, despite the validity of the linux community's claims of fraud. This current administration won't go after them. Given what they have been doing lately to fuckups, they would probably give Darl an award...
