You are why this country is failing apart. In the 1940's and earlier it wasn't The United States of America. It was These United States of America. The loss of two little letters changed us from 50 states of different people united, to one Nation State who must follow the will of the Party in Control.
The Constitution clearly states that all rights not assigned to the federal government are rights of the States.
It is too bad you have never read and understood such an important document.
Your car isn't made of steel any more but foldable, collapsable sections so the car takes damage instead of the people inside. Literally the materials are designed to bend at certain deceleration speeds. This goes back to the passenger compartment, where those sections suddenly become stronger. Ever notice how in a car wreck the only thing in one piece is the passenger compartment? The entire engine will go missing first.
you shouldn't be driving and trying to read ANY cell phone at the same time.
While I won't ever buy an iPhone.(too many features for me I got an L2 for a reason) It's interface is a lot more novel than your giving them credit for. The touch screen which buttons disappear when you move the phone to your ear? the iPhone is filled with little features that you won't notice until you can compare it againist LG's Prada. Now that will be a good review.
Keyboards, and mice really aren't that great for all interfaces. I have been waiting years for the technology to catch up to better methods.
I haven't used a floppy in 8 years, and tossed all my disk's out a couple of years back. Though I did make copies of my DOS 6 install floppies, as well as a fat32 boot repair disk I had. now a day's though none of that is very useful. linux live cd's rule.
Though if you want fun I do have a Magento Optical drive and a couple of disks floating around. It uses a SCSI interface so good luck.
Since 95% of the money MSFT and Sun paid SCO goes back to Novell and Since SCO itself list Unixware and Open Server at values of less than 5 million dollars. Novell will end up with both product lines.
Nope the only thing left will be the fraud trials for Ralph Yarro and Darl Mcbride. Since it is obvious to all that this has been a buyout scam from the beginning. Darl is on record as saying that unless they launched the lawsuits(and got financing from MSFT, Sun and Baystar) SCO would have been bankrupt by now.
They have worked out most of the bugs now, so it only has one device that goes Ping I'm over here every second. Unlike the earlier test which had a GPS receiver in the target transmitting position data to the anti-missile missile.
As another poster said ebay makes money off ALL auctions. Fraudalent auctions earn ebay the same amount of money as real auctions.
Just remember Ebay is a flea market. The kind most people wouldn't enter if it existed as a real building. Treat going there as such and you won't get burned.
I would like to see a convicing 1/6 gravity field created on earth. That golf shot would be impossible to duplicate on a stage in the 1970's. Today it would be CGI, but then it would be obvious.
I know I did. I bought one of the first LOTR fellowship DVD's, but then waited. When all three were released I got waited a bit longer and got the extended edition boxed set.
Now if I can just get a boxed set of all 6 star wars movies. I won't then feel guilty about tossing episode one onto the rifle range.
You missed the point. I shall attempt to point it out to you.
Today Japanese manufacturing is top of the line, with high quality low cost components. Japanese cellphones are two generations more advanced than anything you can buy in the States.
In the 1970's japanese cars were a joke. by the 1990's japanese cars were the top selling vehicles.
It's the year 2007, indian products are considered a joke. What will those products be like in 10-20 years? it might take india longer than japan, but it is coming.
That is the teacher/student edition. if you are no longer a student you are not allowed to continue to use that software and must purchase a new license. read the EULA sometime. My roommate can buy windows XP and Photoshop cheap, but it is illegal for me to own a copy of that very same software.
It varies by company. I can skip one message to go to the next one, but I can't tell which order they are in, and in order to delete one I have to listen to the whole thing first.
but skipping to the end is a hack. Sort of like dosshell, if you can remember that. sure it works, but only just and there is a question of whether it makes life easier.
It's quite simple. hardware manufactures have been creating products like MSFT creates a product. stuff it full of features work out most of the bugs, ignore the the bulk of the user Interface until the last minute and shove the whole pile of crap out the door.(Office 2007 is an exception, at least it's different)
There is one good thing about the iPhone. Maybe, just maybe someone will realize it's not what features you have and don't have, it's how you use it. cell phones, radios, dvd players, all put features in random locations. How long has voice mail been around? At least Cisco has a visual voice mail option that predates apples but only for landlines. So why haven't any of the other guys thought about it yet? It should be friggin standard, all phones with color screens should be able to do that. yet Every phone available to do requires you to listen to each message separately, wait to it's finished and then delete it. Why can't they list them by phone number called. so you can ignore the call from work while leaving you able to hear the message from your wife telling you to pick something up on the way home. It's not like it takes a genuis to figure this out. yet EVERY electronics company does it.
The real evolution of computers , hardware, and software, will be to make it actually easy to use. It's Apple call to fame. Whether you like the ipod or not, it's not hard to figure out how to use every feature present.
Vista doesn't have anything useful for me. I have no compelling reason to pay for it, yet even I understood what MSFt was planning for distributing Vista. it's both smart and stupid. Smart as it saves money and a lot of secondary headaches, stupid as they are going to be going through a lot of license keys and will have to be revoking them in case of crackers. To put it simply no Internet no Vista for you. (minus the 30 day grace period)
It's not like linux distro's haven't been doing the same thing for ages. The fact is the only difference between windows basic and windows ultimate DVD is the license keys.
MSFt has stated all along if you wanted to upgrade from basic to ultimate, all you have to do is visit a website to get a new key, enter that and the software will be enabled. So are people just finally starting to understand what MSFT told them was going to happen six months ago? heck i will not ever run vista, just like I have never run XP( i tried and failed a couple of times) Vista Ultimate doesn't have a single new feature for me. I have been doing everything it can do far easier, on lower hardware, and at a much lower price than $400.
what both of you fail is that it's called FAIR USE. You can mix tapes that way. it's legal and always has been. You have the right to reproduce PARTS of a copyrighted material. You can't do the whole thing, or even signifcant amounts. Weird Al is another example. Do you want to see them send out SWAT teams to arrest him as well?
Okay bad example as many artists would. But it is still fair use. I hope not only does this guy get free, but that he counter sues the RIAA for a couple hundred million and then donates the proceeds to the family you have had to pay off RIAA extortion. I am sorry. but suing someone for $500,000 dollars and then settling for only $2,000 is extortion.
And if he bought a Dell is it Dell's fault, MSFT's, or Nvidia?
The answer is the same whether you want to admit it or not. apple doesn't make the video card, and can only complain to nvidia, and put pressure on them.
Your math says otherwise, it just requires more fuel than the shuttle carries. That more than anything should be an example of why we need better engine technology. use larger boosters to get into orbit, and then some other tech to push the shuttle around. Chemical engines are just to expensive fuel wise.
what was wrong with generations? they killed Kirk twice. The only way they could of made it better was to kill him a third time. and boy was I hoping for that one.
The Next shuttle launch should include a flight plan that after working on ISS to go get the satellites and return it to earth. That is what the shuttle is supposed to be for, and wouldn't cost a whole lot more since the shuttle is in orbit anyways.
But knowing NASA the shuttle won't have enough maneuvering fuel to complete the task.
The Shuttle was designed to retrieve satellites, and conduct space based repairs. It's why the Shuttle is being used to build ISS and not progress style capsules. Russia can't do things like retrieve the hubble so it could be put on display on the Smithsonian. The Shuttle could, but never will.

It is a dupe i just don't feel like going back through april and may's articles to find it.
damn.

Is only passed down from mother to daughter. while a male child will get it from his mother his child will get it from theirs.
A roman legion is most likely all male. while possible a few women a were present it is doubtful. especially after being lost for 17 years.
the driver would die.

>>Its as if millions of mp3 players cried out a Britney song and were suddenly silenced.
You say that like it's a bad thing.

why waste it in such a fashion. The shuttle is designed to retrieve it. how much could the smithsonian get for having that on display.
That would be a good thing for Nasa to do.
They have worked out most of the bugs now, so it only has one device that goes Ping I'm over here every second. Unlike the earlier test which had a GPS receiver in the target transmitting position data to the anti-missile missile.
