The body panels are subtlely different and the options go much further but underneath the skin its the same car. in fact if you loaded up a Camry with every option you'd have and ES300 Lexus.
The ESA, Japanese, Korean, Israeli space programs are all unmanned. They exist for one purpose - put satellites in orbit. Some are very big spy satellites and some are small telcom sats and some are science satellites but that's pretty much it. In fact the real reason that the ESA is involved in the ISS at all is to help them get the Ariane 5 program off the ground (literally) and now that they're close to making that a stable production platform they will begin to back away from the ISS. The Chinese (PRC) program put one man in orbit so they can say they did and we'll be waiting a long time for them to replicate that.
In fact I'd submit that the commercialization of space portends the end of all space travel manned or not, beyond the range of geosynchronous orbit. Oh there will always be rich rocket groupies who want to spend 20 million bucks to be human cargo in orbit but by and large there is no practical use in exploring anything for the sake of exploring it.
The entire media universe runs from the premise that some underpaid assistant can probably google up a reasonable facsimile of a piece of useful information-like attributes from Google rather quickly in order to satisfy the 200 dollar haircut in front of the camera. Should the font of knowledge fail then all the pundits must immediately take themselves to the nearest laser chamber for molecular disassembly.
So which one of you is going to mount your own LOTR 'private' production that's truly closer to the original sacred text than the big budget sellout picture?
Sure just toss it over the transom and make it a forum for Dom Imus to drool and prattle on about being a recovering born again psychochristian far right wing paranoid wingnut.
Palm is probably going to win this market and another incompatible me-too product isn't going to be successful. Moreover the basic Palm technology is a 70 dollar Zire and all the other models are just bigger better Zires with a few extra features. Newton would have to compete on all those product axes simultaneously which of course is silly.
Why even get out of bed in the morning - what's the point? Oh wait I forgot - these are the people who won't do stem cell research that could cure Parkinson's, diabetes and a host of other horrible diseases because some psychochristians think it's a sin.
This is to ensure the call doesn't crash the plane

I mean if turning on your cell phone is supposed to bring down a 120 million dollar airliner (Riiiiiiiiight) then imagine the horror if a few of these babies goes off in planes. Holy pull tab batman!!!!
The odds of them being within a million years could be even less. We have no model for figuring the continuence of our or any other culture for a million years or any idea that if not when the age of man ends it is replaced with something LESS advanced. Who's to say that in a million years the dominant life form won't some kind of intelligent shellfish? There's no way to know but importantly there is no reason to assume that million years advanced earth dwellers resemble anything remotely close to us. There is no way to estimate how long the technological culture of Epsilon Eridani 5 is going to last either. It may have come and gone a million years ago and they took a look at earth and realized it was pre-intelligent or at best just not worth looking at.
All this postulation about this space culture or that. But what if all the so called intelligent cultures are more or less at the same point we are - early 21st century give or take a thousand years. That would me that they about as blind to us as we are to them. Meaning that they might be far closer than say a million light years but because of their limited technology and power output they can't send a recognizable signal to us nor can they receive any recognizable signal from us.
Think of it this way - to some far off place the earth must look like one of a large collection of fairly strange radio sources that appear far more powerful than any natural occurence dictates they should be. But that raw output is pretty much all they would see, and that's only if they are practically next door. Much further than 50 light years away and we start to look postively preindustrial. So in order for us to find an intelligent source not only does it have to be fairly close to us it also has to be much more advanced else we would never see any nascent culture with barely the power or sophistication to transmit. Remember that is space distance equals time.
Hey I get it. Most of your slackers were watching Gundum Wing in your footie pajamas about 2 years ago. And now when someone tells you about some technology more than say 5 years old you feel like you're taking a school truip to the museum of natural history.
How the fuck did we ever do anything way back when w/o Doom 3 capable desktop PCs? Was it magic?
Since I'm getting a refresher course on my PhD in financial econometrics allow me to point out that what I said was 'ecosystems are bullshit' not 'economics is bullshit' Ecosystems are an awful attempt to 'organically' model complex systems w/o really understanding how they work. Their basic premise is like an AI system where you backtrack some interval of behavior and then try to plot it forward while taking checkpoints everyonce in a while to insure you're taking care of all the autoregressive variable which will insure you can prove you were right all along.
You must be very young not to understand that if you sue the delivery mechanism its for the most part the same thing as suing or at the very least bitchslapping your own fanbase. In fact, the fact that these fat losers even made a movie as a monument to their inflated egos is even funnier than suing their own fan base.
They are Harvard B School way of saying "Most of this shit is out of our control and we frankly don't have a clue on how to address it. So let's call it all organic economics"
SUN doesn't have a service provider arm or partnerships with network providers or management providers. Nor do they have a Gigundo systems management suite like Tivoli or CA or HPOpenview.
Now that obesity is a medicare recognized disease does that mean that you're being a fathead is reimburseable as a mental illness or a physical illness?

Really they are unless you're an antisocial comicbook nerd who gets a woody out of the latest 1.5% better performing $700 videocard.
Guess what analretentives????
My Camry is the SAME car as a Lexus ES300.

People who give me longwinded explanations of shit I truly don't care about are incredibly fucking annoying.

Juusssst kidding!
This is good news. period.

Of course air conditioning the Freshmen dorms in hot fetid North Carolina wouldn't be a bad idea either.
One of the leaders before Fahrenheit 9-11 was for the Metallica moive. You know, the guys who sued their own fan base for music sharing.
I wonder if anyone else appreciated the wonderful irony of that.
They are Harvard B School way of saying "Most of this shit is out of our control and we frankly don't have a clue on how to address it. So let's call it all organic economics"
Otherwise it doens't make a great deal of economic sense.
SUN doesn't have a service provider arm or partnerships with network providers or management providers. Nor do they have a Gigundo systems management suite like Tivoli or CA or HPOpenview.
Therefore they will fail.
People like lots of features, people are buying expensive phone and Samsung is flat out better at doing that.
It's not about product design it's about running an entire country.
all sports media news and gaming is turning into the same shit. all my niggaz in the hizzouse - Xzibit now sells deodorant
