You're correct about UMTS 3G services cutting into existing PCS frequencies at 1900 MHz in the US. Carriers put UMTS/WCDMA traffic on 850/1900 MHz, which is why there aren't any 3G world phones...yet! Cingular/AT&T mostly uses 850 for UMTS/HSDPA since that frequency is less often used for voice service than 1900 MHz (not all GSM phones support 850 MHz here, so carriers still have a large number of 900/1800/1900 MHz devices).
...and not only that, they'll probably also prioritize Prime customers accordingly...they tend to be more loyal because they're getting their shipping discount, and don't want to buy it somewhere else because fast shipping "costs more" there (though not everyone might get their $79 worth...I know I did...I bought a Mac Pro from them and had it shipped overnight for $3.99).
Not exactly. If the plane is loaded with LD3/6/11 or LD8/2 containers (or any other ULD), then LIFO is most likely...baggage going through the sort network tends to end up in the last container filled, which is usually the last container on the "train" of ULDs, which is the last container on the plane...and therefore the first off and unloaded.
However, if the plane is a Fat Albert, or the airline otherwise doesn't employ ULDs on your flight, there is virtually no way to guarantee where a given bag will end up unless you have "priority handling." I know some domestic carriers prioritize first and business class luggage for "last on the plane, first on the belt" service, but not all do that. And unless you are one of those people that likes to make sure you're on a particular aircraft ("if it's not Boeing, I'm not going"), then your odds of your check-in strategy influencing your baggage delivery order are virtually nil.
I think it still is, though it appears that Apple has reduced the places where you can get those steep discounts at...their online "Education" store pricing is higher than it used to be, but since they don't bother with compliance checking, I think I can understand why. I attend UCF, and a quick check of our computer store's ordering page shows that Tiger (M9639Z) is $69, and that Leopard (MB021Z) will also be $69. iWork '08 cost me just $39...a quick check of a another Florida university's computer store showed the same pricing.
While still bad, my cholesterol measurements were better BEFORE I started running. Now after doing it for a few years, my cholesterol is 20 total points higher and it's time for the pills to fight it. Weird but true. Not sure what my genetics have in mind, but the doctor told me of other patients more athletic than I am trying to become are not able to lower their cholesterol without pills either. The more research I read on the topic of cholesterol measurements, the clearer it becomes that the medical establishment has no idea what normal cholesterol is. To begin with, we know, that insulin resistance and increased levels of leptin in in the bloodstream is a causal risk factor for vascular disease. The studies that are used to justify the view that cholesterol is bad for you all show an association between high LDL and vascular disease -- but, unlike insulin and leptin, which are shown to have a mechanistic, causal link to increased vascular disease, blood cholesterol only is associated with vascular disease. In fact, too little cholesterol is bad for you.
Some of the papers I've read lately suggest that statins reduce the risk of heart disease not because they reduce the levels of LDL and HDL in the blood, but because they serve as effective anti-inflammatory drugs. Last time I checked, aspirin did the same thing, is cheaper, and is not associated with the number and volume of side-effects (liver toxicity, etc.) that statins are.
All that to say that I don't mind charging more for people who are sicker, but I wish they'd use metrics that aren't inherently flawed.
At the end of the day, DRAM costs more than flash because of the frequencies they operate at and byte-addressability. DRAM runs at frequencies starting at 266MHz through the 1GHz range...at those frequencies, the process controls have to be very tight to keep defects down to a good level. Also, DRAM is byte-addressable, meaning that you can write/write just one byte from the DRAM. Byte-addressing means that there have to be row and column leads for every memory location. Further, because DRAM has to be refreshed on a regular basis, the chips have higher heat-dissipation requirements.
Flash memory, on the other hand, is block-addressable, meaning that it is erased and written in blocks (usually anywhere between 32K and 256K). As a consequence, reading flash memory is quick, but writing can be very slow....that's essentially why flash is cheaper.
...rather, a fax system: two lathes, a photocell, a sounder, some thermal paper, a microphone, small microheater, PCB (with hardware to turn the heater on and off in response to sound). It wasn't a bad little "I'm bored" project.

Actually, they didn't. Windows XP comes with several HALs out of the box:
"Standard PC", Non-ACPI PIC HAL (Hal.dll) "MPS Uniprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halapic.dll) "MPS Multiprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmps.dll) "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dll) "ACPI Uniprocessor PC", ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halaacpi.dll) "ACPI Multiprocessor PC", ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmacpi.dll)
Actually, it really doesn't--Arizona, yes, Florida, no. I live in Orlando, and this year our high was only up to 101F. Why? Winds from the Gulf and Atlantic tend to keep it under 100F most of the year...and when the winds aren't blowing, there's usually a good enough cloud cover to keep temps in the 90s during the summer months.
On the 4500/4500, the black cartridge will have to stay in its slot, but you can interchange the other three. The developer bias on the black cartridge is different than on the color cartridges since the black carts use ferrous toner while the color ones use a "chemically grown" toner.
And, yes, I'm a laser printer tech...
Dorms are different only because of the lease agreement that you sign. The RA can call the campus police and look in your room because you agreed to this at the time you signed the lease. No problem here.
However, the brunt of the FCC ruling is that any clauses prohibiting the use of unregulated devices are held legally void. Even if you signed an agreement that says you're not going to use an unregulated device, this FCC ruling voids those terms. Why? Because Federal law trumps everything else.
The trouble is that the 2.4GHz spectrum is unregulated. The college has no right to tell you that you can't use a legally licensed device in the 2.4GHz spectrum in the apartment.
Now, hooking that AP up to the ResNet is certainly against the college's AUP, but that's not what's happening here. Students with private cable modems are setting up a private WiFi network. Since the 2.4GHz bands are unregulated, the FCC has sole regulatory authority over them--the college, no matter how prestigious, does not.
Definitely not new. One of the buildings I work in got Carrier's Comfort Net / ComfortLink controls for it chillers and heaters in 1994. And, yes, they are IP enabled, one VPN connection and I can check on the temp in the server rooms and adjust them as needed.
While it may have something to do with your firearm, it's probably most likely the case that your name matches the soundex code of the intended target. At which point, thou art screwed...
It's funny that you should mention the tollbooth. Here in Orlando, Florida, the local Expressway Authority teamed up with the University of Central Florida and had this tool called TPSim (that's Toll Plaza Simulator) made for them. The tool allows them to simulate traffic through the plaza to determine the optimal number of attendant/cash lanes, change lanes and electronic-only lanes to best serve both directions of traffic. It really has helped the congestion around the Holland East (which was really bad before they started using the tool).
With all the complexity of highway RFID, I don't think a 300 ft distance is realistic. Heck, the local expressway authority had quite the time of getting their Transcore read antennas to read a windshield-mounted Type II active tag at a distance of about 16 feet at 65MPH.
But 300 ft at highway speed from a license plate? I don't think so...
Hey, I live in Orlando. I've seen these readers at Chevron gas stations and a few other places for months now. MasterCard isn't planning to roll these out, they've had them set up for quite a while already. This makes the story what--a localized dupe?

FAA regulations prohibit the chaining of passengers to their seats.

That would be nice...they force us to RDP. Blech.
