My Sansa E2?? doesn't have an easy popout battery that I can find. I haven't looked close enough but it has a few screws on the back.
To some people what's the difference between a tiny screwdriver and a case splitter for the iPod. If I did get inside it's not like the battery is something I could go down to Best Buy and get. So how is it any more easily replaced?
Who said anything about maintaining a "Wall". I can upload batch amounts of photos. It's no different than a PhotoBucket, other than I can pick and choose who sees what I upload.
Because some of us that hated High School just as much as you did in High School actually managed to make friends in college. It's a great way to keep in touch with people. The "People you may know" has found some long lost friends of mine.
Yes you enter the argument of "If they were that good of friends I would still talk to them". Adult life (marriage, kids, family, work) leaves little time sometimes for other stuff. It's nice to catch up even once a month with a friend.
Oh wait. Nevermind, we all just get wasted and show pictures. I don't have any pictures of kids or sports. My mom (!) isn't on facebook. I don't send her messages now and again. Nope. All drunken photos from Last Wednesday.
Some code snippets for you. (from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/)

Nah, much worse the opposite way. Last year we got about 12 hours of rain followed by a 20 degree drop and then 4 inches of snow. The lazy bastards that plow the roads decided to 'wait' until everything was finished to start plowing. When it's snow on ice you can never get any traction. When it's ice on snow it's hard to walk, but most cars are heavy enough to 'crunch' through to the pavement.
Me and my Jetta and Illinois winters don't disagree. Good thing we just freak out at 4+ inches. I've heard horror stories of north texas getting a dusting and all hell breaking loose.
If America would get over their obsession with power (it's only about 80 HP) and straight up acceleration times (0-60 in 12 seconds, oh the humanity) and their fear of diesels, they could have all of this today.
Last time I visited Colorado I was suprised that there were very few SUVs up in the mountains. Everyone owned an old Subaru or Toyota Truck. The only new SUVs I saw had out of state Plates.
There was a post a while ago on a similar thread by a guy in a Nordic country who thought owning SUVs was insane. They get much more snow and get by with Saabs and other nomal cars. (If an SUV was NEEDED, don't you think a car company started in a place that gets tons of snow would have invented an SUV before say the USA?)
I work second so it's not like I notice anyway, everything is done by time I get home. All over the waves stuff anyway. I just count it as someone else does the recording and encoding for me.
I have a programmable thermostat. It has 1 temp sensor located in the main hallway. This is no way indicative of temperature in my back bedroom or in the basement. There is no controls output for commercial HVAC duct flaps to direct flow.
The PID controller in it is on the 'safe' side. I'm sure the gain and phase margins are huge because you never know where it's going to be installed. They probably have quite a large hysteresis band to keep from always burning fuel. I could design a controller that was specific to my house. That kept the wife's study +5 degrees warmer than other rooms without burning too much extra fuel.
Again, I have a controls concentration BSME. I do this for my job (although on much much different types of systems, with response times in the milliseconds not minutes range).
Add an RS-232 line or some Digital IO and you can now control your thermostat on your iPhone. Everything in your house could have a webserver. Setup a central polling computer using cURL and a MySQL database and track temperatures in every room of the house, or your refrigerator or... anything in your house.
Get a digital or serial water meter and monitor water usage from the road. Toss in a valve and be able to remotely shut off the water to your house if you know you're going to be out of town for business longer than expected.
Smart Home devices are quite expensive and not very "open". A tinkerer could create their own smart home at the fraction of the cost.
As a controls engineer I can just imagine tracking the temp in every room of my house with respect to outside temp and setting up a sweet PID controller on my thermostat to control temps much better than a single temp sensor in a central location in the house. Toss some flappers into the air ducts and you could probably set up a house to keep a temp +-5 degrees throughout the entire house.
You still need a custom hacked Kernel to do it, this removes that need. Even hackintosh's need a custom DVD, this will install with an off the shelf Leopard DVD.
For those that aren't in the 'know'. Download Putty, or PortaPutty. Enter a "dynamic" tunnel under SSH and SSH to any host. In Firefox set it up to use a SOCKS proxy.
If you can't install FireFox, use PortableFirefox.
They recently 'shutoff' the internet to all the test cell operators where I work. They ingeniously just hid Internet Options in IE but RegEdit still works. We new have a rogue '.reg' file floating around which restores this.
My 215k mile TDI and my friends 415k mile '92 non turbo diesel beg to differ.
German cars can be more reliable than Asian cars, they're just "different" as in you MUST keep up on maintenance. Asian cars are appliances. You drive them until something big breaks and you go cut a new one out of its shrink wrapping.
German cars are tinkerer cars. I want my computer to "just work" that's why I own a Mac. I don't mind tinkering with my car and keeping up on maintenance. That's why I own a VW. Sure my vacuum locks gave it up a while ago and I had to rig new ones, but the engine and drive train are rock solid. (Akin to finding that damn linux driver for that new piece of hardware, but the rest of the system is rock solid).
Second. Dealers Suck. They've screwed up more things on the TDI forum than I care to recount here. (But You can check out the thread). If you don't know how to work on your car, learn. If you don't like working on your own car, don't own a VW.

Come to the Midwest. We get wet and clumpy and powdery and packable and everything in between.
Only if that local station was broad cast over the airwaves.
If the channel was a local cable channel, the FCC would have no say.

Fueleconomy.gov only benchmarks US cars. How about going to vw.co.uk? Or any of Fords european websites? The VW Polo has an engine that gets 74 MPUKG which is still 61 MPUSG on a COMBINED cycle, they're showing 70+ MPUSG on highway. It has all the emissions controls, catalytic converters, airbags, side panels, crumple zones and other stuff

Facebook has quite a bit of stuff like that already. Check out the privacy settings.
And a place to hide "earnings".
rtorrent doesn't support rss feeds and I don't use a gui torrent client (My file server is shoved in a back room with XBMC as the front end)
tvrss + pytvshows + rtorrent = Tivo for me.

Probably not in the least. Probably just a on off with some built in hysteresis. Exactly the reason to do something like this.
Now... where did I put that Matlab 2008b CD. Simulink and XPC to control a 1700 sq.ft. house a bit over kill? :)

$900? WTF are you shopping, it's $249 on Apple's website. Second a refurbed MBP is $1700.
(If the links don't work go to store.apple.com and scroll down. On the left are the "refurbs")
Not only that all refurbs come with a 1 year warranty (Just like new products). If a 'new' MBP is too rich for your blood, get a used one.
