> This means that retailers themselves have to support Google Wallet as a payment method (just like supporting Paypal, Bitcoin, etc). If it doesn't support Google Wallet, then they can't bill Google.
This guy has never used Google Wallet - or at least doesn't understand it in the least. GWallet presents a "virtual Mastercard" that the retailer charges. The retailer only sees the virtual mastercard, they attempt to authorize the charge against said virtual card, said virtual card instantly attempts to authorize the card that GWallet has picked as the underlying funding method. This happens incredibly fast - fast enough to make someone like yourself think that the retailer is somehow hooked into GWallet. Couldn't be further from the truth. To the retailer, every GWallet transaction from a single customer looks exactly the same no matter what card the customer has selected on their GWallet client.
Unfortunately the only plan available has but 500 anytime minutes. I think T-Mo/Google are a bit insane for this move. The phone is, IMO, targeted at power users and those with disposable incomes - the same market that talks a lot. I personally hit 1200-1500 anytime minutes a month. This 500 minute plan would be insanity for someone like myself.
Also, the 500 minute plan from T-Mo is $40/mo if you're not getting a Nexus but should you decide to grab the phone and the accompanying plan, you'll be paying $80/mo. What is the logic here?
Okay, so maybe that was a bit troll-ish. But, if you work on production systems and you/don't/ know what HA or DR are, you should probably go find a new job and spare your bosses the inevitable losses that you'll cause. I would suggest front-line phone support.
Granted. However, Slashdot in particular seems to attract these morons in droves. They seem to be suspiciously missing from other websites that are more devoid of intellectual value (digg).
I don't think you have a good grasp on the election system in America. If neither candidate can clinch the presidency through the electoral college, the House of Representatives elects the president.
Israel is located in literally the worst possible place for Jews to pick in the entire world. Every country on every side of them is full of people from cultures that not only haven't been able to get along with the Jews for millennia, but often can't get along with each other. Violently.
I suggest you do more research. Jews lived in peace with Arabs in Persia for centuries up until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. (Persia is modern day Iran.) Jews also lived in what is now Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Afghanistan, and many other Arab countries extremely peacefully - often in beneficial symbiotic relationships - up until about 1910. In the 1910s, the Jews began mass immigration to Israel from mostly Eastern Europe. The Jews and Arabs (Jordanians) living in modern day Israel got along very well and there are countless stories of the Arabs actually teaching the immigrant Jews to farm their new land. In 1917 (I believe), a jihad was declared by a radical cleric against the Jews living in Israel after a couple of clashes between a large Jewish family and a large Arab family. The clashes are believed to be over a land dispute of 100 or so acres. Basically, after that Arab-Jewish relations went to shit.
From the article: DoD-sponsored millimeter-wave human effectiveness testing, initiated in 2001, has demonstrated ADT as both effective and safe without any long-term effects.
So they determined that there were no long term effects by studying the... I guess beta testers... health for less than 5 years? Phenomenal. They can see into the future now, too!
Unfortunately, it's only a detector and not a remover, so the best it can do is inform you that you have a rootkit installed and that you need to format and reinstall everything.
Uh, if you have a rootkit on your system, simply removing it is NEVER enough. You can't tell what has been comprimised. Anyone who considers themselves even remotely security savy realizes that if your box is comprimised, reinstalling is the only way to be sure the box is once again secure.
Focus on the lack of masters. No one can master a game in a mere 9 days (the time between the launch and Quakecon). Not even your most mother's-basement-living, unkept, Coke-bottles-for-glasses nerd can master a brand new game in 9 days.
I'm going to go with the OFFICIAL launch date of August 3rd, not what some/. people say.
Continuity: After Doc Ock drops Spider-Man off at Harry's house, Spider-Man's legs, wrists and arms are bound. When he sits up after Harry unmasks him, he never breaks his legs free of the ties yet he no longer has anything holding his legs together. Submitted by bluedrop90
Funny, I must have watched a different Spiderman 2. When I saw it, Spidey was bound with barbed wire. When he goes to get up, he flexes his arms outwards and seperates his legs, thus tearing the barbed wire off of him. The only problem here is that his flesh would be severely torn up. Spidey *does* remove his bindings. This one simply just did not happen.
Or used for pre-emptively assassinating political opposition leaders?
The only people that Israel assassinates are terrorist leaders. If you think Yassin was a "political" leader, you speak for your own stupidity. Political leaders do not use exploding children as their means of communications; politics is the art of not having to resort to violence.
In Israel, lives are saved by killing terrorist leaders. Killing is, however, never the preferred method. Israel still arrests hundereds of more terrorists than it kills. The ratio of arrested to killed is unbelievably high.
ACTUALLY, here in America (I know because I live here), the Economist is regarded as one of the most even-handed magazines out there. You're acting like he just linked an article from the National Review. (I could understand the "whoa there buddy" if that were the case, but it's definitely not.) I even regard the Economist to be more liberal than conservative. The Economist, however, has no political affiliations - it's quite non-partisan. (Maybe that word is too big for you to understand?)
Americans: This country was founded on isolationism and not making out decisions based on what others want us to do, but rather what furthers our own betterment. (Sorry if you don't like it, socialist Europe, but those are the facts.) Vote with your heart and mind, not with somoene elses'.
Watch the gas->home video and go about 1/3rd through it, and watch this guy pass on the dotted white lines while driving on the freeway with cars on either side of him. He weaves right in between cars with 1 foot of clearance on each side at speeds close to 60-70mph... This guy is nuts!!!
After reading that article when it was published, I tried searching for BT devices within range while in a populated area and found nothing. I was disappointed, logically.:P
The date is pretty much up for grabs. Everyone has their own opinion - everyone is speculating. Some say as soon as next year, others say as late as 2007.
Last I heard, it's schedule for the day after Duke Nukem: Forever.
