Exactly it is the one example microsft canlearn from Apple marketing.
Promise nothing,show nothing, deny everything wndthenrelease your half finished products. That way morepeople will be amazed at what is included rather than all that you left out.
well java, and flash on other phones cut battery life by 1/3 or more. not to mention horrible load times. Apples' native apps already cut battery life down.
well they spent that much for a phone they can actually use. I wouldn't even take a free andriod or windows mobile phone. they are ugly, come with dozens of tiny buttons that get crap stuck behind them, have a desktop Interface for a screen that clearly isn't a desktop.
Android should have been released well before the Iphone, not 2 years later, taking 2 more years just to equal functionality. Windows Mobile, is still stuck at 6 for that entire time, and will take at least 2 versions to come even half way there.
So i spend money for the best value of my dollar. the iphone costs slightly more but comes with better integrated, easier to use, and better designed than anything else. it's not cheap plastic that feels flimsy in your hand like the pre. the OS is responsive, and works just like you would expect t to. Hand someone an iphone and they can figure out how to use it without the 300 page manual that blackberries come with.
ACtually I only use my iphone because it is the best smart phone on the market. I tried all the others, Windows GUI isn't designed for small screens, so there goes every windows mobile device. and competitors like android and the pre only came out after Apple showed the world that to sell a smart phone to a non business person they needed to make it easier to use. I do have a small number of issues, but tethering isn't one of them. AT&T after all wants to charge you another $30 a month to allow it anyways. Look at AT&T's turn by turn navigation software. $10 a month extra, and less functionality than is already included. My issues include the inability to easily turn on and off bluetooth after receiving a call among little annoyances. however there is a reason why the iphone web browser visits more web pages than any other mobile browser. It is the only one that is usable on such a small screen.
Are apple products perfect nope, not at all, however at the end of the day they work better than just about everyone else's, for the same price. MSFT forced hardware to be standariesed. Apple is the only example left of the old school groups of doing hardware and software on one machine. SGI, is gone, Sun is fading, IBM is moving to more software. Apple is the last of the combination hardware software vendors.
You should have just thanked Detroit for that. Since your downwind you get all the crap they put up into the air. Since clouds form from dust and detriot puts all sorts of stuff in the air you get their smog.
Fuel tanks are a lot more than spun bottles. especially for items under both high pressure and low temperature. Pure ore is good, the ore mixed to the right formula of carbon and other elements on the other hand requires exacting temperatures. While a Solar furnace will work. that too is a large structure hundreds of tons in weight plus the solar reflective cells. You simply aren't understanding scale. To build a little item like a hand tool you can ship the parts there, however it becomes cost prohibitive to send larger items there. The automated backhoe, you want to send is 50,000 pounds worth of weight or roughly the same weight as the entire apollo lunar, command and service modules, and 5 times what just the lunar module was. To build even a fraction of what you want would require dozens of launches.
Logistically it won't happen no matter how much you or I want it to. You think the shuttle is over priced, You want to send a dozen shuttles to the moon when they can barely break leo.
yes the moon has lots of raw resources. Do any of you understand how much work it takes to make something simple like a metal wall, how many people it takes to dig up the ore, break it into pieces, smelt it down to purification levels, forge blocks, with which to forge the other objects, and the presses to stretch it into sheets. You need 100,000's of tons of equipment to build a simple airtight box that the moon walkers can live in. It would take way to much effort for a simple colony for a few hundred people. It would take a century to pay of that kind of investment. no current government, or business is thinking that far ahead. No investor would back such an endeavor.
We need something better than current ion and chemical rockets. When we figure out that part So it is cost effective to ship a nuclear aircraft carrier there then will a real colony start to be seen that will take advantage of those resources. Since none of those resources included large sources of fuel(or even water to make fuel from) then the moon will sit there for a while.
This isn't star trek. the effort to bring you something simple like a pair of scissors is huge involving the jobs of thousands,
Wind is under used, and so is tidal, Solar however has a sever design limitations that currently prevent them from being profitable. Low efficiency and high price of the cells themselves, due to the raw materials used. I keep hoping that a major solar breakthrough will come in that will crash the price of the cells while doubling the current efficiency.
Snow leopards Text Editor app has support for ODT. Which is great but since text editor doesn't have all the feaTures of Open Office editing the file becomes harder. The "mac way" while not universally supported is farbetter than just extensions alone. Where if you have multiple apps for the file type fails the ease of use.
Actually after reading the article the guy is an idiot. The "playkey" is the whole problem with DRM. Whether downloaded off a drm server, or transferee securely br protected memory(as the article suggests). Transfer of that key is needed. Without it everything fails. What's worse in order to even be vaguely secure each music file would need it's own playkey. So for me alone that is some 5,000 keys.
If you had even the same playkey for every song title theft is easy. If each person has one playkey. Then it be ones possible to steal thousands of songs nearly instantly.
So I say again the guy is an idiot. A dumb idea so poorly thought out I wonder if he actually thought about it or pulledit out of his ass.
They probably have no idea what bungie studios does other than offer to take pictures of people bungie jumping.
Rule number one never assume someone else knows what you know. While I have been using bungie products for nearly 15 years my mother couldn't tell difference between them and rooster teeth productions.
yes and no. it isn't just the maintenance, but it is also a random selection of genes too. Some people age gracefully, as they don't push them selves to hard. Those who party hard every night while in their 20's age faster than those who party occasionally, don't over work themselves, and relax.
It is stress. too much of anything is bad, even parties. So relax, take a weekend and don't party. By the time your thirty your body will be in better shape than those who either work themselves to death, or party themselves into stupor.
SUV's only roll over due to stupid drivers. you really have to make a sharp fast turn to roll an SUV. Like 90 turn at 50mph.
The biggest probleem is that the average driver can't adjust their driving depending on the type of vehicle. Going from sports car to SUV is very different. They don't handle the same.
So 4 people in one car. Now take away those three other drivers licenses, and you must now drive them around. Think about that as you take away their ability to drive.
If you assume anything your already an ass and a crackpot.
This is extraordinary event, we won't figure out why for hundreds of years under the best of conditions. So why are we trying to guess a solution with out all the relevant facts?
Except your math doesn't figure one tiny little fact.
There are billins of stars injust the milky way. Our sample size is too small to make judgements that the stats are off as we may havejust witnessed a 1-1,000,000 star event. You had better start search the other 990,000 stars that aren't doneyet to prove that themodel is right or wrong.
But things have changed, slowly and steadily but they changed. The major gangs are minor ones. When was the last major riot in the USA? Not a minor one within a school but one involving tens of thousands?
The pendulum swings are getting smaller and smaller. It takes time to undo generations of hate. Remember only 50 years ago jim crow laws were passed in the south. The very concept of a black president was inconceivable 30 years ago. Each generation is slowly learning from the generation before. It takes time to study history, as most don't want to learn from others and can only believe that a fire will burn them by standing in it themselves. It is that what needs to be changed.
If you think these things have only been going on for the past 20 years then you have to pull your head out of your arse. While the names change, and the money changes. this is really no different than 70 yeas ago.
Indeed things are better know as the law abuses that cops took to gun down gangs are restricting what they can do. Mcarthy J edgar Hoover, etc, have all abused the law. It happens on both sides, the people abuse each other, leading the government to abuse others which gets corrective treatment, which bounces back. The real check and balances isn't done by the government, but between the people and their government. The balance isn't stationary every, it drifts a little bit in each direction until someone gets greedy, and then new laws are put into place to stop that particular greed.
From my installation friends cell towers draw 30amps at 240volts. At least that is the service they arenormally supplied with. A 7kw generator can easily power them. Acertain perctenage are slowly adding generatorsto provide limited backup coverage. Though with such low draw I wonder if a smallvertical wind turbine could provide backup.

except you can't put apps onto the iphone without apples approval.
while I think they are a bit to restrictive, they do make sure apps don't do stupid things like able to install malware.
Because GFS is the foundation for all google apps, and why they end up scaling so well.
well they spent that much for a phone they can actually use. I wouldn't even take a free andriod or windows mobile phone. they are ugly, come with dozens of tiny buttons that get crap stuck behind them, have a desktop Interface for a screen that clearly isn't a desktop.

not if your wearing glasses that block every other frame on your game device.
However what will really kill this is that advertising will still be 2D and the TV or glasses will effectively block half the commercials
or is that a selling point?

If your hitting curbs while cornering you have already done some wrong and while a car may not flip it will be out of alignment and unsafe to drive.
