I wonder if anyone will buy Saab now, it has had worse sales than Hummer for a long time.
In the USA (the chart you link to is USA sales). In the civilized world, Saab sells far more than Hummer - Saabs are still selling reasonably well in Europe.
The biggest problem with Saab vehicles recently have all been caused by them being owned by GM (lousy dealers with questionable warranty coverage, problems with the GM engines, inclusion of "features" like OnStar). If Saab became an independant car company again, they would have a decent chance at survival. Hey, if Skoda can become a fairly well selling car brand, Saab could easily do the same thing.
With a digital camera, of course, you get to see a low-resolution downsized image using the wrong color space.
If people still want the "Instant print" ability, it would be trivial to produce a digital camera with a small photo printer built in. All the advantages of digital (reprints, storage, enlargements) *plus* the advantages of an on-location instant paper print.
6) Ready. When bored try System > Administration > Synaptec Packet Manager to install some free applications.
This, in a nutshell, is why Linux needs endless installation guides. Once the open source community considers the non-technical user - and changes this to "system > administration > Install Applications" - maybe more people will use Linux.
Technically speed is a factor in 99.9% of all accidents. If the car was stationary, no accident would have happened.
But, more sensibly, it is lack of driving ability that is the cause of these accidents. A skilled racing driver could undoubtedly drive safely at a speed far above the posted limit; a 79 year old grandmother with cataracts is unsafe even when driving below the limit. The police should list "lack of skill" as a cause, not speed.
Or to put it another way: if your viewers realize that they are watching special effects, you're doing it wrong.
One of the biggest successful CGI movies ever was Forrest Gump - because nobody was thinking "cool special effects", everyone was concentrating on the plot of the movie. And the plot, after all, is the main point.
the book binaries have changed, so that the new ones have the flag turned on - but if you already have an existing binary in your Kindle it will work fine; or
the Kindle looks for updates to existing book binaries, and applies them automatically
I think the first is more likely - although the second could be useful in other ways (the Kindle could automatically correct errors in books as they are found).
It is simply amazing how many companies don't understand the true power of the internet. As a result of one single incident like this, REI is going to lose many customers and many sales (I for one won't shop there any more until this gets resolved favorably). Bad news travels extremely quickly these days.
REI spends a huge amount of money on marketing - and this year's entire budget just got flushed down the toilet. Evidently they should spend a bit more on employee training. (Yes, the guilty parties in this case were from a subcontractor - but REI's own security personnel should have stepped in and done the right thing).
REI also promises a 24-hour response time to email - my (politely worded) email about this issue hasn't been replied to, 25+ hours and counting later.
That was my first thought, but the current market capitalization of Apple is $110 billion - so they'd need at least $55 billion to take over shareholder control. A puny $4B isn't enough to make a dent - less than 5% of shares gives you no special rights.
Unfortunately it hasn't been "natural" for a very long time. Since 1916 it has been held together artificially by various means - otherwise it would have collapsed many years ago.
I can't think of any other naturally-occuring monuments, so it was unique at one time. It would definately not be unique if they rebuilt it. Widening the crummy 2-lane 40 MPH highway through that area to interstate standards would be a better use of money.
This sounds like a good old physical attack to me, not a cyber attack. Bashing in someone's computer with a hammer is not the same thing as a infiltrating it with a computer virus/worm/etc.
Now they have Java, Solaris and MySQL, plus they have access to all of Sun's customers.
But, Sun is a hardware company - many/most of those customers were buying hardware. Oracle is a software company, only interested in the Java/SQL bits.
What are the chances that Oracle will sell off the hardware line? Maybe to Rackable, who seem to be buying up other dead 1990's workstation manufacturers lately....
A blocking program should consist of two parts: a very simple blocking algorithm, and a plain-text list of sites to block. That should be trivial to implement, and easy to freely distribute. That way libraries and schools could easily say "Yes, we are running blocking software" even if the list of sites to block is empty.
It would also allow parents to demand to see the list of blocked sites, and to argue among themselves about whether a particular site should be added to (or deleted from) the list - in other words, it would bring the argument about free speech out into the open. In an ideal world, the list of banned sites would be posted on the school board's web site.
They don't need to be specially prepared - these cars are built by Ford in Europe.
There has never been any problem with the design or build quality of recent cars from Ford of Europe; witness the huge success of the Ford Mondeo, which is generally considered on a par with the BMW 3 series. Ford's problem is their American production lines, and with their insistence on "Americanizing" their brilliant Ero designs before selling them in the USA.
Uh... to quote the Wikipedia page:
The United States Constitution forbids both the federal and state governments to enact bills of attainder, in Article 1, Sections 9 and 10, respectively.
I don't think it is switching carriers regularly that is the issue. The problem is being tied to one sole carrier, AT&T.
I currently pay roughly $55 a month for phone + unlimited internet usage on my Windows Mobile phone on another carrier. With AT&T and a iPhone I'd be paying $70 or more. I'd buy an iPhone for use with my current carrier; but I won't switch carriers just to get an iPhone.
So, you're happy with your car being rated at 6 miles per gallon? Because getting anything more than a race driver flogging it around a track with the throttle pinned is nice?
It's so that alcoholic drinks are not mixed within sight of minors. Because, of course, once you see a drink being mixed, you want one, even if you are eight years old. (No, I'm not making this up).
As far as the video game bill goes... I predict a spike in video game sales in places like Colorado Springs (towns just over the border into another state - where non-Mormon residents of Utah go to buy booze, cigarettes, and a dose of sanity).
At least with cars, the government - not the manufacturer - selects the test metric, runs the test, and publishes the results. If each laptop maker uses a different battery life test then you can't compare them at all.
A "photograph" is just a textured rectangle - i.e. a textured polygon. So the environment is created by the blending of many textured polygons. Sounds awfully familiar to me.
Sure, they are rectangles instead of triangles; and sure, they aren't arranged in a mesh. But this looks to me like the triumph of a marketing press release over engineering reality.

The article does confuse a language with it's implementation. GCC, for instance, is NOT a language!

Exactly. Unfortunately, "BIOS" has become a synonym for "Flash memory".

It was a natural formation
Unfortunately it hasn't been "natural" for a very long time. Since 1916 it has been held together artificially by various means - otherwise it would have collapsed many years ago.

And use one of these to plug them in when needed.
Any solution that has the drives unpowered is preferable - no point in spinning a drive 24/7 when it's used for backup 5 minutes a week.

Personally, I don't have enough computers at home to need ipv6.
Tomato is 99% of the way there on the UI - but there are still a few unexplained/under-documented check boxes and settings.
Generally the layoffs I see are of two kinds:
In either case - you may be the best employee at the company, your ass is still fired.
