Frankly, I'm hoping that someone will confront both candidates about why they believe that as president, they will have powers that the constitution clearly places with the congress.
Every American president has made similar promises throughout American history, with varying degrees of success. This has been happening for a long time now.
Presidents can influence members of Congress and the Senate, and sometimes have allies who will introduce proposals on their behalf.
The pre-2003 Prius's came with a 7 year battery warranty, if I remember right. Toyota sold about 60,000 Prius' by 2004. If the batteries failed and Toyota refused to replace them, then where are the angry customers? Early adopters tend to be passionate, and I would expect to hear more about a failure.
Here in Berkeley (land of Volvo, Honda & Prius), we probably have several thousand of the pre-2004 models (I see them multiple times per day). I know several people with a year 2000 Prius, and they rarely take their car to the shop (mostly out of neglect). The cars are working better then my Ford. If the batteries failed often, then I would expect this to come up in conversation.
How many news articles do we have about television advertisement? Close to zero, except during the Superbowl.
Today, you posted a story about an advertisement. People here are clicking on the advertisement and are watching video. Their campaign seems to be working, even if it is an "Ad about nothing".
And it's just the first ad in the campaign. Just wait until Microsoft releases the sequel.
FasTrak is also used access the Express Lanes on Highway 91, a 10 mile stretch between Riverside & Orange counties. There are no toll booths, but apparently they have Cameras to track down violators.
Average highway speed on that road is easily 75mph+ on highway 91, so I bet the cameras are higher-speed then the regular cameras used on the Bay Bridge toll booth.
I also have been using these electric toothbrushes for a very long time. The toothbrush use electromagnetic induction, correct?
I thought that most household AC Power Transformers also use induction. There are two unconnected wire windings-- primary winding creates electomagnetic induction on the secondary winding.
In a standard power supply, the two windings are unconnected, but are also contained within the same housing-- the "power brick".
With the electric toothbrushes, one winding is sealed inside the base, and connects to wall power. The second is sealed inside the toothbrush, so the toothbrush remains waterproof. Other then that, the toothbrushes function the same as a common, household power supply. The toothbrush probably uses an AC-to-DC transformer,
And correct me if I'm wrong. I'm re-learning these things, and my Forrest Mims books are under a pile on the workbench.
Yes, it's interesting. The technology has been around for years. And yet, how often have you *you* seen a protest video projected onto the outside of a Chinese Consulate?
If the owners of the building disagree, do they have any legal grounds to prevent this?
There is nothing wrong with your government. Do not attempt to adjust the leadership. We are now controlling the information. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand unwarranted wiretaps or expand one your phone call to crystal clarity and beyond. We can hear you now.
The Heat Map planning tool looks pretty nice. Does anyone know the name of this tool? I'm squinting at the image, but I don't recognize the interface and can't read some of the words.
Then if they suck I fire them and hire a replacement, but if they are good, when I get bored and decided to move on,
What, no slaying? No duals? Are you some goody-goody Jedadmin? That's just not Sith-enough.
Here's the Sithway: If your apprentice sucks, you find a replacement to slay the apprentice. If the replacement fails, your apprentice gets to keep the job, and the replacement candidate does not make it to the next round of interviews (obviously).
Sure this method has it's disadvantages-- revenge, backstabbing, his army of itsatrap minions, etc. And if you 'get bored' your apprentice just might replace you. But it's worked for generations. You're free to change it, but you're on your own.
Streaming radio? Legislated into oblivion last year or the year before.
I listen to more and more streaming radio every day, thanks to http://pandora.com/ and http://last.fm/ . Sure there are limitations to what these services can provide, but it's far from oblivion. I hear new music every day, in the genre's that I like--- with far more diversity then anything I've heard on commercial radio.
The images of this phone show an "External GPS port". I've never seen one of those before-- can I attach an external GPS antenna to this phone, or does this only attach to an external GPS?
I'd like to use the GPS feature while walking/hiking/biking, but I want the GPS to stay in my pocket instead of carrying the unit in my hands all the time. An external antenna would work good for me.
This is the RAZR V3c sold by Verizon around early 2006.
I have a couple AC-to-USB adapters, a battery powered adapter and a DC-to-USB adapter. These all hit 5V with the proper amperage, but they all get the same error message from the phone.
The problem is the *computer*, not the phone, and it's a function of how USB manages power.
I have a Motorola RAZR phone for work, and I also get the "Unauthorized Charger" error when I hook it up to a USB port. However I can use these same USB ports to charge other phones-- I assume these phones also draw 500mA.
In addition, the "Unauthorized Charger" message also appears when I hook the Motorola phone up to any non-Motorola USB charger. Are those other chargers also unable to provide 500mA?
This makes me think that the problem is at the phone, not the charger.
Yeah... "Leopard"... "Snow Leopard"... that's not gonna cause any confusion, right?
For the end user, it sounds like Snow Leopard is a minor upgrade. With bug fixes, performance enhancements, etc. It's a 10.5 -> 10.6 upgrade. Perhaps that's why they have a minor name change, from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Or maybe they started following the Ubuntu naming Model. Let's see, is Hardy Hippo the same thing as Ubuntu 7.06 or what?
It's interesting to note that the ZFS monitors don't seem to recover until the gentleman unplugs the failed drive. Is this a bug with ZFS, and has it been fixed?

Comments made to articles in the firehose do not make it to the live site. It's like a BRAND NEW firehose.

I agree, the 2000 sales numbers were small (Only 5,800 North American sales during year 2000, according to sales numbers at http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/news/08/0515.html ).

And they won't. All Toyota have been doing is advising prius owners to use their car as a small gasoline-only vehicle. The devil's in the wording.
FUD.
Do you think all Prius owners would remain quiet about this? If Prius batteries were failing after 8 years, wouldn't more people jump on that news?

Great! Think of all the money you'll save by spending that extra $1000 on a second laptop.

Hey kid, you're going to poke your eye out with that X-ray machine. I'm afraid we'll need to take it away.
Yes, it's interesting. The technology has been around for years. And yet, how often have you *you* seen a protest video projected onto the outside of a Chinese Consulate?

In NYC on Aug 10th, some protesters projected a film onto the Chinese Consulate in NYC.
Here's video on YouTube [Warning, there are some graphic scenes].
Not a laser, but interesting trick nonetheless.

How many times did you reboot? You need to reboot the router three times.
We have lotto tickets and cold beer!
But you need a towel. A towel will insulate the beer for a few minutes. You want cold beer, but not beer at -273C.
And a towel will absorb your tears when you discover that you lost the intergalactic lottery. Again.
Gmail: no folders? WTF is with that? Labels are not like folders, and they're not better.
A single message can have multiple labels. However, a message can only be stored in one folder.
Other then that, how are folders different from labels? They seem very similar.
Are you comparing the original iPhone (which is no longer available) or the iPhone 3G?
GPS: AGPS / None
The new iPhone has AGPS.

RAID-6 & RAID-DP can also survive a dual-drive sledgehammer failure. The Linux MD Driver supports RAID-6.
How does Sun's RAID-Z2 distinguish itself from these existing implementations?
Thank you, sunny boy.
