Seems to be looking and working just fine here, though I'm on my mobile at present. Android browser, rooted and rom'ed Samsung Fascinate for what its worth).
Unfortunately the Nexus One doesn't work on the only network with acceptable signal near my house. That's right, the big red V. So, I chose what I felt was the next best option... Get a Samsung Fascinate. I'm happy enough with the stock setup though, so I'll save the tinkering until it's abandoned by its manufacturer and carrier (which at present rate shouldn't be too far off).
Or some of us have enough space between neighbors that it's not particularly critical. My nearest neighbor is separated from my wifi network by 10 acres of aspen and pine trees.
Lots of POS terminals in grocery stores and the like use touchscreens for PIN entry, often with a stylus. Easy to shoulder surf as well, with the onscreen buttons changing colors when pressed.
Lamo? Uber? Seriously now, don't they have more creative writers than that? This sounds like life is starting to emulate art (if you can call the assorted CSI:* series such).
Only because the city's trash (income level notwithstanding) keeps encroaching. Eventually all of Nassau and Suffolk are going to be one giant stinking extenstion of Queens, complete with that ridiculous pseudo-Italian "Lawn Guyland" accent.
Iprefer a trackball myself. Why move your arm when a finger will suffice? (Though I expect CLI aficionados can also use that line). Definitely tickles the carpal tunnels less for me.
...Helping ugly people have sex? Does it do any better at fostering reproductive urges in the less-than-photogenic than your average brew? Inquiring minds want to know!
Nothing special at all. It only means Taco used sequential instead of randomised integers for user ids, which in turn can be viewed as a very loose chronology of user registrations.
Is there a plaintext index of URLs this archive includes anywhere? I'm connected via 3G and pulling a 15gig torrent isn't feasible. I'd love to wander thru some of my personal archived bookmark lists and such just to see if any of them wound up being preserved.
How can this even remotely be considered a good idea? I do understand the burning desire for customer dependency, demographic information and all that, but seriously...I'd be very irritated if I were in a tricky spot, my network dropped briefly, and the game responded in such a fashion. Probably irritated enough to return it, if I hadn't been aware of the issue beforehand.
Can't see the vid as I'm on my blackberry, but I've seen transformers (pole mounted residential type) go pop a number of times and its not something I like to be within 100 yards of. From the same elevation you'd get hurt, but up an embankment and chances are you'd have time to at least turn and start running away from the festivities.
Point being that many substations are quite vulnerable to extremely simple denial of service attacks solely by virtue of their placement in the surrounding terrain, and/or their design. IMHO, more vulnerable this way than via network access, in terms of equipment damaged at least.
I don't know about the connectivity of power stations/substations, but I've seen quite a few that appear very vulnerable to physical damage by virtue of location (eg. Not enough space between fence and components, or down an embankment from a quiet unlit street. Seems like it wouldn't take much more than a steel bar and a good arm to cause some pretty spectacular fireworks and a whole lot of repairs.
Silly Apple, if it only identifies its devices via a USB identifier, but interacts with them in standard, easily emulated ways, all the while going for the exclusivity angle.
Silly Palm, for thinking Apple will take this lying down. But kudos for the balls to do it anyway.
Despite the math error, the point is valid. Who prosecutes for $60?
Wait, I know. The same sort of dolts who set a lawyer on me for a matter of $20 (late copay, I was away from home working for 6 weeks following and forgot about it). Came home, paid the bill at the hospital. Still get letters from that lawyer alleging nonpayment.
Ok, let's keep the car-analogy meme going here...it seems that this joker's viewpoint is a little more like this:
You can have this car in any color you want, as long as it's black. Oh, and paint, brushes, spray guns and air compressors are now illegal, and if we suspect you may be inclined to change your car's color, we can preemptively search for and seize afrementioned equipment which surely is only useful for committing unauthorised car recoloring.
I'd rate wifi above food. I'll eat before or after. Give me a bathroom, accessible AC outlets and wifi and I can sit in an airport for 24 hours straight. Of course after that I may want to foray out for food, but any less and I'm good.
This is still happening, mostly in larger metro areas along the I-95 corridor (NJ and NY being particularly bad). 100W isn't even near the league these guys are playing with...a few boast of 5000W or more. Couple that with the fact that their overamplified transmissions are poorly regulated and are audible on every frequency through the CB allocation, as well as on audio and tv equipment, and you've got a confirmed public nuisance. Some are so bad that they are audible on recievers that aren't even powered on.
I did it for a number of months using Sprint and a USB Sierra Wireless Compass dongle (not sure of the model number, but it did work in Linux).
It worked for me, but there is a 5Gb/mo cap and would probably not fit your usage. Reliable, reasonably fast for what it is, worked flawlessly in XP and Ubuntu, and really gave me nothing to complain about.
It would seem logical to start out as if printing a one-off (such as another poster's thesis, for example), and modify the pricing structure for frequently-requested titles. Or maybe not, as its resembling a book version of a photo printing kiosk.
As for the price in general, it probably has a lot to do with economies of scale. A run of one is bound to cost more per copy than a run of 500.

In other words, no.

What's nearly as amusing as the incessant crying wolf is seeing such labels on things when I live on the other side of the fucking continent.
Not only is it annoying as hell but its contagious
I'm not sure I've seen a more apropos movie quote... Kudos AC.

I'll wear my polyester leisure suit while perusing a grits-laden Natalie Portman if I want, you insensitive clod!
