One small nuclear device detonated over the US at about 10,000 feet could make a huge mess of things. Not from the blast damage, not from radiation, but from EMP.
I'm sure the airplanes in the area would have some blast damage.
If you live in Florida, then paste it up, shiny-side-out, on your windows. Looks weird, but saved me a few degrees on my (south-facing) computer room window.
Yeah, that will be so easy for my family and friends to figure out how to implement. Maybe I should just dig a dedicate landline to all their houses while I'm at it.
Good example of why they should have Apple products and use Facetime.
Renouncing your Citizenship is as easy as a visit to the State Department. You're welcome to go turn in your card and go somewhere else. In fact, please, do it.
I'm wondering what Apples next move will be in this area. Mountain Lion is going more down the secured path, but it is what comes after that that is worrying me.
You are trying to say that making the Mac OS more secure indicates the hardware being limited to one OS?
I saw the movie TANK -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_(film) -- in the on-post movie theater at Ft. Hood, TX, which at the time was home to the world's largest concentration of tanks. And one of the most boring spots on this planet. Watching a theater full of young tank crew guys cheer this movie was a bit scary.
People enjoying a movie about a father rescuing his son from a corrupt sheriff scares you?
This is exactly what I did. I switched from my verizon cheapo dumbphone ($20/month for unlimited texting & $0.25/minute) and ipod touch to an exhibit 2 on T-Mobile ($15/month for unlimited texting & $0.10/minute). It doesn't have any data though, the cheapest plan with that was $30/month. It's not so bad since I'm usually in range of wifi, but I really wish I could pay for data the same way I pay for minutes.
Note that T-Mobile has 2 different $30/mo no-contract plans.
The one they offer in their stores is for 1,500 minutes or messages and the data starts throttling after 30MB.
The one offered at Walmart is 100 minutes, unlimited SMS and the data starts throttling after 5GB.
So if you talk very little and want a lot of data, the $30/mo no-contract T-Mobile plan via Walmart is pretty nice.
If three companies must interact via humans, even if it is A with B and then B with C, they all must have compatible hours, and so on. That leads to common working hours, 9-5.
And when those 3 companies are in 3 different countries? How are the hours compatible then?

HOA doesn't allow it.
Arizona has LOTS of tourists. The locals call them "snowbirds".

T-Mobile 100min/5GB no-contract plan for $30. Sweet.
Why did the US spend billions upon billions to go to the moon? Why did we strive so hard to beat the Soviets there?
The answer to those are the same reason the Chinese are doing it alone.
China is in a cold war with Russia?
These things have been known to break up on re-entry.
And shortly after launch.

Especially right before your company goes IPO.
You do know that NASA has other launch vehicles than the Shuttle, right?
Other, more expensive, launch vehicles.
Dragon is a capsule. I think you mean the Falcon launcher.
1) Can the older folks actually remember all their passwords? Or are they writing them down?
Some are writing them down and even with the password sitting there in front of them, they have trouble typing it in.
Maybe, or maybe we're forgetting that it's also more likely for those geezers to forget their passwords.
Even when their password is 123456 they can't remember it.
No, I'm not making a joke. I know a user that has difficulty with this password and I can't convince her to use a phrase instead.

This is exactly the same as what Apple does. I am totally embarrassed and full of pity when reading your comment.
Apple doesn't prevent users from installing other OSes on Mac hardware.
Really?
Really.
You can easily install Window, OpenSolaris, Linux, etc on a Mac.

About the only way to do this would be to create a system that is truly out of everyone's control.
Skynet?
It's not nearly enough. These people (er i mean corporations) should be paying taxes just like other people. Last year I paid 28%. Sound good, Apple?
And GE paid ZERO taxes.
Ever tried to actually use YouTube with HTML5 only? Half the videos (those with ads) won't work.
Yes, 100% of the videos I watch on YouTube are with HTML5. Never had a single issue watching a video.
Vimeo works 100% without Flash, unlike YouTube.
Huh?

I looked into the TMobile deal and yes, I could go that way but I would only get Edge speed for data.
T-Mobile announced that they are reallocating their GPRS spectrum which will bring 1900MHz support for their 3G/4G which will then work on the iPhone.
