If the Facebook team is using pair programming for their mobile apps (on all platforms!), maybe they should try something more traditional because it's not working! They have so many bugs and glitches in the IOS, Android (tablet), and Blackberry apps that they definitely need to try a new approach! Maybe if they TESTED them before releasing, they'd have better results?
I'm a DirecTV subscriber, and I honestly never even noticed that I lost some channels. Must not have been anything important. I'm happy for them to lost those ones, and reduce my bill, but I'm sure that would never happen.
I work for a company that does networking for many railroads, and on every project that we've done the entire train control network is isolated from the rest of the world. That's one of our basic rules, it should never touch the internet. I can't speak for our competitors, but it seems like they would do the same.
While you're right not to trust this, the website says his DNS server does NOT allow you to connect out to any other sites. It only allows in-app purchases, and you must restore the configuration to use your old DNS server before you can do anything else. I'm not sure what dangers there are from the certificates that he has you install however.
It looks like Lance Armstrong may not be eligible:
4.2.3 No drugs or stimulants shall be used by any member of the crew. An assurance must be given to the official observers at the time of the attempt that this requirement has been met.
I work for a competitor of Alcatel and Siemens in the rail industry, and we are migrating some of our bigger customers off of VAXes.. We have been for 10+ years now, and the migration is nearing completion I believe. I don't specifically work with those projects, but for a time I was in charge of administrating a number of linux systems running VAX emulation software.. We used it primarily because we ran out of physical VAXes to use, and decided to stop buying them off of ebay (it's the only place you can get VAX parts now). I still have a drawer full of OpenVMS and Multinet licenses.
My sister is blind, and has been for her whole life. She never writes by hand, and even if she writes her name the letters tend to be imperfect and disconnected. No one can fault her for it, but it's a challenge to maintain your place on the page. And she's not even completely blind, she has a very small amount of vision in one eye (she can mostly just see light and darkness).
If this woman is completely blind, I wouldn't expect too much detailed writing per page.. I can't imagine my sister getting more than a paragraph or so on a page if she were to try.
You're comparing to the previous gen Nook.. The Nook Tablet has a dual core 1GHz CPU, and 1GB of RAM, while the Kindle Fire only has 512MB of RAM. The Nook Tablet also has a microphone, so you can use skype, and it has a Micro SDHC slot. It also costs $50 more, which may be the approximate value of those add-ons. There's pros and cons for either one of them.
According to the parent's link, the first spam electronic mail message was sent on May 3rd, 1978.. Before Ayyadurai "invented email".. Doesn't sound like much of an invention.. Possibly Ayyadurai coined the term "email", but that's all.
The title of this article currently is "A Planet Literally Boils Under the Heat of Its Star".. It should probably say "A Planet that Literally Boils Under the Heat of Its Star".. To clarify that not every planet boils under the heat of it's star..
Would you think it's better if people stop dreaming and trying to come up with new ideas? Yes, we don't have the technology yet for this to be useful/possible. In the future maybe they'll figure out a method to print metals or some sort of composite to use for the plumbing and wiring.. I don't know how it will all shape out in the next 10, 20, 50, or 100 years.. But I'm excited that they are investigating and trying to create new things!
Apple could build the remote device portion into a TimeCapsule or something like that, and have even more products to push! However, if you're already setting up something that's connected to your network, why do we need to establish the additional power-line network?
Especially given the image of the template that they have on their site.. Looks like you could make one yourself MUCH faster than you could have it delivered in the mail! But it's a cool idea none the less.

And now with linkage!
There are alpha (and maybe beta) versions of XBMC for Android as well. I'm not sure if they run on this MK802 II or not, but I'm sure that's coming.

On the other hand, if someone malicious were to get physical access to the network, it may be a different situation.

He's under investigation for using such drugs/stimulants.
xkcd.com is the best site any time I'm looking for xkcd's.
I read "Inside the 2012 Lobster Prize" multiple times today. I thought it was connected to "Deadliest Catch" somehow..
Is it possible to power an 18.5" monitor (and a thin client) with POE, even if it's LED backlit?
That's what the article is about.. HP has just developed this.

Wired had an article somewhat related to this.. It was a decent read.

The last Google of stolen credit cards was run by the FBI.
Can't trust anybody any more. That's the last time I ever give my credit card number to an FBI agent.
You silly. You always have to give an FBI agent someone else's credit card number, that's obvious.
I know of a search engine where you can find one to use!
It's required in Pennsylvania. See the Biofuel section here

Not being responsive is a typical blackberry thing. That's how my Storm was. It's most likely software.
While we're correcting them, they're not "undocumented immigrants", they're illegal immigrants.
