The great lakes wereformed from glaciers during the last ice age. This is more like the midAtlantic ridge. Once it reaches an ocean it will flood and we no longer will have to worry about global flooding from melting glaceirs.
while your techincally correct even MS Office doesn't support mutli users running the same app at once very well. Internet Explorer stores it's files in a third directory that doesn't allow easy backup. Why does IE store files like favorites and history in directories that aren't with the user files? *nix applications have home or user directories where all that users files get stored. This basic concept is so broken in windows that you can't easily remount mount a user from the network without massive configuration changes and then you can only do it half assed. I can log into three computers at work. however my favorites can only ever be on one of them. even though I have network drives that auto load. Hell try finding the induivual configuration settings for moving outlook archives to another directory. talk about a pain. Each app shouldn't be allowed to choose where to store it's configuration files. The OS should say global go here, and user goes here. Not in Windows where you can have vital information spread across the entire hard drive. We won't get into the hack that is the registry.
um since Windows doesn't properly support multiple real time users, (3-4 people can log into a single linux machine and run the same application at the same time, on windows things to hit snags when you do that) without proper multi user support and the fact that MSFT won't force developers to actually code for proper multi-users you run into a problem trying to do just that.
15 years of negligence by MSFT in this regard and it will take at least 2 more major releases from them before it is fully fixed to standards that every *nix used 15 years ago.
For what? apple doesn't have to support hardware it doesn't want to. Just like Windows doesn't support sparc. MSFT should be brought up on anti trust charges for not porting every windows app to Sparc, and Cell, and arm.
Really then why don't you run autocad on Free BSD some time and let me know how well that works for you. Fact is just cause you buy it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it.
A Vendor that specifies hardware is limiting themselves to hardware that they test. running OS X on non apple hardware is stupid as you lose most of the reasons for running OS X. Stable hardware in a known configuration. It's like running windows XP on PowerPC. sure there was a port for it years ago but that doesn't mean every app will run seamlessly.
Besides running OS X on generic hardware is like putting a corvette engine in a kia. you have to do ugly hacks to make it fit, and then your still driving a Kia. Apple, IBM thinkpads, are quality that last over time. Dell, acer, HP, are just bulk packagers, selling the cheapest piece of shit they think you will be stupid enough to buy.
well the zombie strippers has already been done. they weren't robots but you might be able to call them pirates for all the booty they didn't hid very well.
he USA is 300 million people in a land area the size of Europe who has a population of 700 million plus.
So not only are you off to start with you are making random assumptions. Sure there is a lot of engineering work that the USA needs to update. however since we have a fraction of the population that most land areas have we have to do more with less.
Besides having been through europe. The american system is at least 3 centuries more advanced than some of the roads, and bridges in europe where it is common for one vehicle to use it at a time s they are designed for horses not people.
because military computers are 20 years out of date to start with. Heck even the awesome modern land warrior hardware, is 10 years out of tech date. Heck they could probably shave 5 pounds off of the hardware by using modern chips, and displays.
Military Spec is only good at rugged. up to date with the best is far behind.
Since phone manufactures limit what apps you can run.(see all phones ever made) Even if you had an open app store it doesn't mean your open phone hassoftare that will run. In fact it is more frustrating as just because it is a winmo phone or a Blackberry doesn't mean that the hardware can run the app. It is worse for Andriod.
Let me ask a stupid question why can't my linux apps run on windows? Why can't Windows app run on my Mac, Why won't MSFT Exchange install into my openBSD server.
hint it is the same reason why you can't use an app from borders. This is basic computer science. Until we get a fully platform independant OS, and application structure it will exist. and since such openness goes against making money for corporations then such a thing will never happen.
Personally I don't understand why Linux developers make their lives easier and setup a cross platform toolchain, and application structure so they can compile apps once and not have to worry about who is going to supply the mips, sparc, i686, i64, PowerPC, and arm versions of that software.
Backups are easy to explain. Backups are like accounting book keeping. Storing records of not only today but also the last ten years in case of Fire, or worse an audit. Daily backups serve as a safeguard of a janitor taking out the trash and losing that important contract.
The hardest thing to do is to help some one understand something. The easist way to do it is to bridge the gap by showing them in ways they can relate too. Hence why data is stored in LOC's. It is why techies can't understand managers. Why jocks can't figure techies.
Apple does that. when 10.3 came out apple stopped installing OS 9 classic by default as well. Support backwards compatibility for 2-3 generations and then phase it out. First phase is simply not installing it by default. Second phase is not to supply it. Snow leopard is the 3rd generation of OS after Rosetta came out. installed by default in tiger, and Leopard, they stopped installing it by default for 10.6.
personally I wish MSFT would do the same thing. I get really pissed when my "new application" requires the same installer that win95 had, and in order to run it I have to reboot into safe mode as my antivirus won't let it run. Seriously why does an Application built in 2009 still require the win16 subsystem to run? Why aren't the coders moveing onto new toolkits? Apple nudges and then pushes programers forward. MSFT let's them stay in the previous century and use bare metal knife switches to turn on the lights.
Once you get used to a feature transtitioning to OS's without said feature is tough.
personally mine is expose in OS X I love that when dealing with multiple applications, however windows doesn't have it, so while at work i am constantly frustrated.
That and Outlook while having tons of features seems to be lacking several usability things. Or maybe i just want to do more than it is capable of. It is why i left windows t begin with.
Until recently apple only spec'd hardwAre to other suppliers. So while apple is marketing the apple didn't build it and in the case of hardare ordered the chips from some one who had to pay Nokia.
In your example apple still hasto pay at least forthe hardwareto teleport objects. Thoughapple pays a randon Chinese company to buy the chips, who in theroy hasto pay you royalties. However china doesn't abide those terms. Sometimes.
You have the same as I then. Into a browser visit http://192.168.1.1/ and play around. While it doesn't havethe stats the full router does you canreally fsck the time warners network and screw the frequencies of everyone on your local cable share. Be warned however you take out your network to do so. And you might not get it back without their help.
Ihave had to manually reset them a couple of times for timewarner. However I haven't found any useful account data their. Just hardware settings.
Yea I know of several "rural" areas with multi million dollar homes and billionaries using them for summer homes and coverage is at best spotty and it is not 3G for Verizon or AT&T However only 10 miles you can get 3G network speeds. why because that is where the highway is.
Cell phone companies suck. some suck only slightly less than others though.
Given that most people just turn the volume up as high as it goes and leave it there, they are simply destroying whatever hearing acuity they might have had. I can tel the difference between 160kbps aac, and 48 kbps aac files. it is obvious, however Only if I am listening to the music by itself. If I simply let my play list randomize and start reading , I no longer can not tell. I normally can't figure out what song is playing without stopping reading and then listening for a second or two. however I don't just sit around and listen to music, I sit around other things with music enhancing the background. that being said, I do prefer my music is lossless and I use reasonable background volume levels.
Because of that I can be in the back office at work with the other sales guys, and I get up before someone activates the front door buzzer. They dont' understand I can hear the front door open 40' away, and behind closed doors because I don't listen to music at max volume.
Let's I am going to cut your break lines in your car, and rig the throttle so that it goes to full and stays there. i will then call it a test to see and call what happens an accident.
Chernobyl had it's safety systems bypassed, and then had the reactor put into a dangerous configuration which ran out of control since the safety systems were bypassed. Fact is very few nuclear reactors use the type of reactor that this can be done with. Also Chernobyl was 4 reactors and at least until recently the 3 that were undamaged were still outputting power for the region. Not to mention that American reactors, have a secondary containment shell around them something the chernobyl reactors lacked.
To avoid t happening again all one has to do is use an american or chinese reactor that is designed to turn the reaction off as it fails, instead of requiring a second stage to actually force the reaction to stop.
yes there is more than one kind of nuclear reactor. Some are safer than others. Some are designed so that they only produce power under certain situations and turn themselves off when those aren't present.
That's because the user interface was designed around a desktop OS from 10 years ago.
In personal electronics beauty will beat functionality as non geeks don't want to carry ugly things. That is the iPhone's true success it looks good with a well dressed person. A crack berry makes someone look stuffy all business and no fun.
Besides verizon network is the opposite of AT&T's where one is good the other sucks, and vice versa, they both are limited to major cities and roads for full network access.
Actually if you understood why SSA is going broke it isn't because of a funding it is because politicaians can't let money sit for time until it's needed.
Basically every up until recently the SSA had been making massive amounts of profits compared to what is paid out. However at the end of the year instead of putting that money safely into a bank account for the next generation to actually use the USA government claimed the money and wrote an IOU to the SSA for said money. our politicians then spent said money on random projects. However we are approaching crunch time for when the money that was supposed to be saved for our future, is going to be needed and the SSA has realized the federal IOU's were written on political toilet paper.
As usual it is careless thinking on politicians that have caused this mess. For whatever reason politicians are the kinds of people who think maxing out your credit cards, and loans is a good way to live.

AOL prodigy,compuserve, those are walled gardens. And they failed.
The app store is no different than barnes and noble online. You select items picked outby others and have them shipped.
You must learn to seperate the applications and services from thenetwork itself.
Army no! An already organized unruly mob of idiots.

Right(sarcasm). So the Ad will block the whole phone from working while my boss calls and I can't answer it for the next30 seconds.
The idea is stupid. I am actually shocked that IBM or MSFT donthave prior art.
You are correct it was 100.1, now I have to go figure out what 192.168.1.1 is on my network. network hunting is always fun.
Of course the rest is correct.
really? kindle one used the sprint network for books.
Now if only they used wifi data could be cheap across regions.
