That sounds pretty socialist there. I bet the Government even helped setup some towers.
Here in the good ole USA. We have Competition. None of that GSM only crap. We have true competition between carriers with CDMA, GSM, iDEN, etc. That way for any given area of good reception, there's 3x the number of towers. TRUE competition.
I went to my library expecting the same. Turns out they must have the equivalent of a Linux Genius there. They have 5-10 computers running off of a single quad core machine. All you can do is browse the internets and the card catalog, but everything is setup with 10 keyboards and 10 monitors and 1 CPU.
4t Tray Minimizer Free is the best piece of software ever.
So far my keys are mapped as such: Alt-Control-H. Hide application. Not minimize or to the tray, but completely gone. Alt-Control-R. Pop up the dialog to return an application. (Shift-Control-* minimizes to the tray).
Not just useful for hiding slashdot, but for getting "mandatory" windows out of the way.
That plus my middle button (or is mapped to "Show Desktop") anytime I hear those footsteps, quick tap to the middle button and all that's up is my desktop.
Because you only needed 1 N64. You didn't have to know anything about networking. It hooked up to a TV easily. It didn't have complex controls, which made it easy to pick up.
Hell in college it was a fucking awesome drinking game because it was so simple to play. I want a remake on the Wii, don't change a thing but update the graphics and maybe a level or two.
Specifically any Nvidia chipset that will let you use VDPAU.
mplayer now supports it and you can easily drive 1080p with an underpowered PC, as long as the video card is up to the task.
(And if you're into that sort of thing, off hours you can be contributing to projects that use CUDA to offload to the GPU and thus do stuff much faster).
Unless the established internet starts to roll against them. Youtube has already publicly dropped support for IE6. If the video tag of HTML5 is 25% more efficient than flash and can save them a bundle on bandwidth, I imagine they'd drop flash.
All it takes is a few big sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Gmail to say "We want HTML5, and we want it to work right." And anyone that comes along with a non-compliant browser gets pointed towards Safari, Chrome, Opera, or Firefox. IE9 will either adapt or die.
Apple seems pretty lax, especially compared to other companies, with the OSX86 AND Jailbreaking communities.
They really only went after Pystar when they tried selling OS X clones. The Hackintosh community is doing pretty well just like the Jailbreaking community. Worst I've seen is a takedown letter for some files, but instructions for OS X on the Mini 9 are still out there.
Apple seems to be making it 'reasonably' difficult to keep the interested parties (RIAA/MPAA/AT&T) happy, but they really don't make it impossible to do stuff. OS X Client still doesn't have a 16 digit code to enter to install it. They sell a Family pack of 5 licenses for relatively cheap, even though there's no way to actually hard lock it to JUST 5 computers.
Why not reiterate DO NOT DROP OR DAMAGE Lithium Ion batteries?
Ken Stanborough, 47, from Liverpool, dropped his 11-year-old daughter Ellieâ(TM)s iPod Touch last month. "It made a hissing noise," he said. "I could feel it getting hotter in my hand, and I thought I could see vapour".
This wasn't "doing nothing" and then exploded. He damaged the battery. I don't see why this is a story from any party.
Except some of us also like movies that may not have had huge releases or made before we had internets...
If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have heard of Equilibrium (which was pulled back because of 9/11).
Right now I go through nzbmatrix and open the IMDB links and see what I really like and give it a shot.
Go, The Man who Knew Too Little, Equilibrium, Dark City, etc are all movies I've seen that I hadn't heard of because I was either in Middle School or they had limited releases.
I'd like to see Apple release a firmware update for the iPod the Pre says it is.
Pre: "Hey iTunes. I'm an iPod, what music have you got for me" iTunes: "Shiny new Firmware!" Pre: "Um, ok not really" iTunes: "You said you were an iPod you're going to take this".

Cables. Duh... Search for MultiSeat.

Great if you have kids or a larger family. One decently powered machine can power multiple "computers".
The technology they used was sending VGA & Audio over USB.

I went to college.
I got my BSME.
I graduated and started at $55.8k.
I worked my ass off and got good performance reviews.
3 years out of college I make $70k.
I'm 26. I get to play with Matlab all day.
This is my dream job.
Recaptia for Pork?
You enter your credit card information.
You buy DRM free AAC files.
You sync the AAC files to your hardware using the software that came with the hardware developer.
No, and don't call me Shirley.
Anyone know if it is BSD, Apache, MIT, LGPL, etc etc?

CustomizeGoogle is a firefox plugin(which hasn't been updated for 3.5 yet) lets you ignore domains.
I had a ton on there.
http://www.fixya.com/ seems to have risen up now that I'm searching on how to fix some lawn equipment I inherited.
"Yard Machines fix belt" and it comes back with http://www.fixya.com/tags/yard_machines_deck_diagram_belt
Of course this is 100% useless.
Those sites are fun to mess with friends. "Dude, did you know that there's an entire webpage on fixing your impotency?"
Where do you live that it's 'rarely criticized'?
This even just came out recently: Doctor who was on presidential commission that pushed to raise drinking age to 21 regrets change, believes it did more harm than good.

...not know what a condom is?
Does the average slashdot crowd?
Notes are highly non-linear. I can flip through hours of notes in seconds. I can create simple headings. I don't have to listen to it again.
I don't think Microsoft has built them yet. But they sure look a HELL of a lot like Apple stores. Right down to the layout.

Nope. Kia is only owned 37% by Hyunday.
EVERY Company does that, other than the exclusive high end ones.
Ford/Lincoln
Chevy/Cadillac
VW/Audi/Bentley
Tata/Jaguar
heck.
Mercedes-Benz/Maybach
Chrysler just has Dodge and themselves
What are those for?
