Best handwriting recognition of any device still, hands down. Though right now its more of a franken-newton, being cobbled together of as many new parts as possible. The only original part is now the motherboard, which is from a newton I salvaged in a yardsale a long time ago. And if I could clone it, I would in a heartbeat.
Though I am tempted on trying to compile the Einstein emulator on my iPhone, and using one of the two styluses designed for the iPhone that are being produced. But its not just the fantastic handwriting recognition that brings me back to it every year; its the large screen. The Newton was never meant to be a PDA, as it was made before that term was even cobbled together. It was originally developed to try and supplant the current buisness laptop. Longer battery life, more portable, and you can write, fax, etc with it. If you realize this, and that it was not a device built for comically big pockets, then it hit the mark perfectly.
How can you tell it hit the mark? Alright, users of Palm 3's, rase your hand. (*glances around*) Psion 7 out there? (*glances around, sees a couple hiding in the closet*). It hit the mark because we still talk about it. We still crave for it to come back. It might of even been around today if the spin-off company making them was not bought back by Apple shortly before Jobs got back, which he axed with childlike glee becuase it did not fit into his picture of a "user experience" device.
A bricked iPhone can be returned for a full switch... Correct me if I am wrong, but its not like they can tell the phone has been "unlocked", as I have not opened this phone in any way, and as such have not voided any warrenty on the hardware.
In fact I think I will install this update, I have a small scratch on my iPhone driving me insane, which is not enough to warrent an exchange. A bricked iPhone on the other hand from a corrupt firmware, would...
I will have to explain to my family that they should *not* update the firmware if they want to keep using t-moble, at least until someone else figures out how to unlock the phone. Or I will simply install my backup copy of the current firmware, no harm done and all.
I mean, being able to play a few games while in airplane mode, having free personal ringtones ripped from our own media, using t-mobile, an ebay tracker, an application that uses cellphone triangulation to calculate your location on the map, an AIM client, a digital recorder for lectures and meetings, a quickbooks app, an ebook reader, and a NES emulator; are all worth more to us then having an itunes store on the phone that lets us know what songs are playing in our local starbucks... I mean with the tmobile 'total internet' package (for $19.95 a month), I can use the tmobile hotspot in my local starbucks, for speeds faster then EDGE.... A greater convinence in my mind.

Really, some gamer please shoot him, preferably in the gut. Try to make it as non-fatal as possible. Use a small caliber, to the gut. Or even better, stab him. As long as he lives, he will spend all his time trying to get you off, as you will be happy to prove that "videogames made you do it". You might even get off without being charged if he is convincing enough. And if that happens, we will have legal precedent allowing gamers to stab this man in the gut are not to be held accountable...
As far as I can see it, its win/win for all parties...
A.) Remove the SIM card and place it in a safe place.
B.) Switch the iPhone to "Airplane mode", and if you don't wish to read the pamphlet telling you how to do this, simple go to "Settings" (which looks like three gray gears), And by the picture of an airplane done in orange with a black/gray transitioning background with "AIRPLANE MODE" written to the right. It will be in the "off" position. Click on it, and the word "ON" will apear, written in white on an orange/yellow transitioning background. And a little picture of an orange airplane will apear in the upper lefthand corner of the iphone, to the left of the time box. Your iPhone is now not broadcasting or accepting any wireless signals. When you are back in the states, switch it back into the "Off" postion to use it as a phone again.
C.) Throw iPhone over the side of the boat and use your savings to buy a new iPhone.
My best professor, and by "best" I mean I actually learned the most from him then from a textbook, and keep the knowledge today, did not even use a whiteboard. He used white (or yellow) chalk on a blackboard. It was how he did it that mattered.
* Come into class, place yesterdays work in front of him, sit down, copy the blackboard into your notebook. You have five minutes so write fast.
*Professor flips the board. Five minutes starting now.
*Spend the rest of the class discussing and explaining the facts in great depth. Professor points at someone every other minute and asks a question on the material. Asks hard questions. If you can't keep up in notes, you had better ask someone to copy, because he will not slow down. If you can't keep up in the critical thinking portion, get the hell out and accept a fail.
* Professor handed out copies of that nights questions, due at the beginning of the next class.
I was blessed to have that man's class twice in my life. Once in high school, the other in my junior year of college. I tell you, it was that man's pep that kept us awake and going, and his zest for the subject. It was highly infectious.
And as for a textbook in that class? He thought that the point of the class was half facts, half how to think with the facts... He was the textbook. At the start of the first class, when he explained how each class was going to be until the end, he gave all of us a list of books on the subject we could read. Each one was a fantastic read, not a dull one among them.
I have a couple of friends with a prescription for meth-amphetamines for their ADD, as they are basically immune to all the other drugs that have been tried on them. My girlfriend has a prescription for THC as it is the only mood elevator that can control her bipolar condition. I have overactive production of an enzyme CYP2D6, meaning my medicine cabinet would make a heroin addict drool.
We all have constant levels in our systems, stable jobs, and interact well in society. Just because someone needs to take these drugs do not mean that we cannot hold a job, or that we are scabs on society... And just because (aside from the THC, which is not addictive) our meds are addictive, does not mean our usage varies, because we take our daily dose as covered by our medical insurance.
I am a 20 year old engineering major male white college student.
I have a case of asperger's syndrome (And before anyone accuses me of being self-diagnosed, I'd not even heard of it until a therapist diagnosed me).
And, not to sound egotistical, but I like to think that I have above-average intelligence. I'm not a genius, nor a whiz at anything, nor do I have Mensa begging for me to enroll, but I do feel I have sufficient evidence to suggest I'm smarter (using a definition akin to "able to interpret, recall, and use information) than the average 20 year old.
Do I even need to add that I'm a complete virgin? I've never gotten to second base. Or first base. Hell, I didn't get up to bat. I'm not even a benchwarmer. (I just used up all my sports analogies.)
Yes you do.
I was diagnosed with AS when I was ten. I have had that diagnosis reasserted by every therapist I have visited since. In matters aside from spelling and grammar, I also consider myself above average intelligence then most of my peers.
And while I am most content in a quiet room with a good book, I do put a lot of effort in learning every social cue I lack. I have reams of notes I have taken on social interaction, every anthropology book I could get my hands on, coupled with several books of psychology; I believe that with nearly a decade of constant work I have been able to mimic enough to pass for neurotypical for short periods of time.
Which has also lead me towards being able to manage a long term relationship, and have all the benefits of said relationship..
My point is, not every person with AS is doomed to remain a virgin. True I only did it because social interactions are my own personal obsession, but still... It is just how some with ADHD are highly functional individuals without the need for medication, its all about how much time one is willing to invest to develop the skills they do not naturally possess.
And while I agree that sex is fairly disgusting when you think about it, it does give a significant more pleasure then self gratification. And while most girls are batshit insane, only someone that is crazy as hell would stay with someone without "normal", and an social skills for a long period of time (and as many of us who date insane women, the sex aspect is a lot more intense then a "normal" girl").
Mitch Daniels here, and I have to say that I am highly offended with this comment: "All in all, a dumbass move that makes absolutely no sense for the state whatsoever. I wonder who got bribed, and with how much?
"
I have you know that I have never, and will never, accept a bribe. Even one that only affects the enviorment, which we all know will be gone in five years when the rapture comes...
Now I am afraid I must go buff my solid gold Bently. You would not believe the amount of dings and scratches it gets.
Sorry, in that part I was thinking about a 13 year old boy that I had read about in the paper, who despite his parents and school pounding that lesson into his brain for years yent into the back of a van to see a puppy. 13. Not developmentally disabled, just thick. It was a horrible thing, but reading about it years ago kinda got me a little bitter against humanity. I let that bitterness seap through, and for that I am sorry.
He was most likely busted by an undercover for this. And because of that 100 kilos of cannabis will not hit the street. Making the street value that much higher for the general consumers. Meaning the average criminal body has that much more of a reason to kill, maim, and extort for it, to gain control of the supply.
For goodness sakes, all the war on drugs does is raise the price of drugs, and increase crime. That is it.
The best thing to do is legalize all drugs, make heroin $0.03 a dose for addicts with a perscription (enabling them to actually function in society, as they use to.), let the FDA make sure the global distributers of cannibis is free from all unlisenced contaminants (like tobacco).
I am glad for his data mining, which will help the general population pick out the DEA and local narcotics officers, stop them from their unconstitutional activities; resulting in increasing the supply of drugs on the street, lowering the value, and in turn lowering the violent crime surrounding such trade.
Not saying all drugs are good, many of which are very bad (In my opinion, never do a drug named after a part of your ass...) , but the general population needs to make that choice themselves. Some adults don't drink or smoke, or indulge in caffeine (myself included these days). Or indulge in any of the other legal drugs. That is their choice. If some teenagers decide to save their lunch mone for four years, and blow it all on a kilo of cocaine, and die, thats not a reason to make the drug illegal. It means that their parents failed to tell them that doing blow is not a great idea, and if they do to do it in moderation. Of course no parent these days wants to teach their children moderation. "One brownie for dessert?" "Billy wants more?" "Give him the tray". That seems to be the major cause of obisity these days (and parents not letting their kids play outside because of "perverts", not realizing that there were just as many perverts in their days, and not everyone got raped by Father Macintire or Ol' Man Rivers in their day. Hell, if the kid falls for the puppy trick, after being warned about it, then thats just a life lesson. One that would cause them to never disregard the advice again.)
So support the site, laugh at some cops trying to sell cannabis on the street and place a few photo's of them in police regalia on the telephone poles, and tell the police in your district to start spending those resources on getting rid of handguns (for civillians and police), stopping auto theft, stopping people from driving under the influence, etc. Oh, and catching the Father Macintire's and Ol' Man Rivers.
Have you really had Kona coffee, not just the 10% crap that many sell these days? Kona has a microclimate that is just right, coupled with perfect mineral composition, leading to what I think of as "perfect" beans. Just as different weather and soil can lead to "perfect" wine making grapes. I do admit, it is what you do with the beans next that leads to the magic...
And while a cast-iron pan is a wonder for cooking damn near everything, you cannot evenly roast with it. Hell, I have two home brew coffee roasters at home. One butane, one hot air. Both makes a wide range of wonderful roasts, with noticable differences with both meathods. And I care not only about location, but size. I prize Kona because its "perfect" bean is the smallest I have ever encountered, enabling a better medium roast without undercooking, or a perfect french without burning. I have found small beans all over the world, each making a fine cuppa', but it is Kona that still makes my heart sing.
This is 100% artificial blood, not a blood derived from animal blood. The best artificial blood? Modified horse. The one you mentioned? Bovine.
Do "I" care either way? Nope. I have a rare blood type and would accept anything.
But people with some religions do. Hindu's would not accept the bovine derived blood, and the Jehovia's witnesses wouldn't accept any form of blood derived from another's blood.
If the JW accept this product, then fewer of them will die in surgery, or have their children die. Fewer deaths all around is always a good thing in my book.
Jack Valenti just fucking DIED of a stroke and all you can think about are $175 laptops?????
Alright, I'll get it over with: *ahem* Ding, dong, the witch is dead
Now thats over with, onto the more notable laptop. Got to say, still excited about this project. Last time I held a computer class in the DR, a massive power surge nearly killed me when the computer in question was powered up... These little things should be able to take the abuse, and the unstable power grids of many of these developing countries. Still cannot wait until a consumer model is released, so I can prepair a few classes on them for next time I go down.
non-toxic even at very high concentrations
Does this stuff affect other viruses? (Is it something that evolved for this reason?) If so, why doesn't the body make more of it already? Would that be too biologically expensive, or would that have problematic effects we haven't recognized yet?
Well, it is a miracle drug that cures everything, from deadly viruses, bacterial infections, even cancers. The problem is that VIRIP, or as its know under its commercial name, Trutonin, obliterates the person's immune system... Creating a lifelong dependance on the drug.
I always thought the name of the game was to keep your focus
and not dilute your efforts.
A common mistake many people make. If you see the potential for your main marketable product to dwindle into nothingness, it is very common to start to branch out for stability. Take BP in the 70's and through the 80's. They bought up damn near every poultry line, and started massive breeding efforts. You wanted to buy some chickens for your egg laying company? You ordered the chicks from BP. You wanted to buy some turkeys to raise and feed your army (Russia, one of their largest clients...), you went to BP. You had a disease that wiped out a massive population of your chickens in you country? BP. Not something most associate with an oil company.
A good company is a great trunk, with smaller sections, run as independants, branching out. All feeding money back into the base. If one branch withers and dies, the company can keep growing strong.
So long as the camera network will be avalible to the masses, and every public building (police, jail, court, fire, prime minister's office, etc) also have one. Then I would be less parinoid. In fact it would be a good thing... I could plan my walk by looking at the route before hand, and when I get bored I could watch the police to make sure they are kept in line. It would be perfection... Hell, America should do it, then when the goverment "detains" people without cause or notice one can turn to the TIVO to prove it...
I thought the first animal to be used as an organ factory would be a pig... Organs are roughly the same sized, takes minimal land to grow them, grow up faster, and already have a shitload of similarities. Aside from a (sugar complex?) that initially makes the tissues REALLY toxic... Which is why every now we hear that they have altered pigs to lack this (complex?)...
At Bently College, when we gave Jerry from "Ben and Jerry's" ice cream and honorary degree, he brought with him a truck of free ice cream. So much so that every student and proffessor willing had a freezer stuffed with the stuff afterwards... What will Gates do, give all the students copies of WIndows Vista? Thats a bit like someone dousing the students with STD infected blood...
Now who should get an honorary Harvard degree is Hugh Heffneir, for his buisness empire... Maybe he would pass the bunnies around...
I use a $200 Miglia addon to my mac mini, and can use both the eyeTV settup and my macmini's apple remote to enjoy watching my shows. Simple. Easy. And I don't pay every month... Its the best of both worlds...

Best handwriting recognition of any device still, hands down. Though right now its more of a franken-newton, being cobbled together of as many new parts as possible. The only original part is now the motherboard, which is from a newton I salvaged in a yardsale a long time ago. And if I could clone it, I would in a heartbeat.
Though I am tempted on trying to compile the Einstein emulator on my iPhone, and using one of the two styluses designed for the iPhone that are being produced. But its not just the fantastic handwriting recognition that brings me back to it every year; its the large screen. The Newton was never meant to be a PDA, as it was made before that term was even cobbled together. It was originally developed to try and supplant the current buisness laptop. Longer battery life, more portable, and you can write, fax, etc with it. If you realize this, and that it was not a device built for comically big pockets, then it hit the mark perfectly.
How can you tell it hit the mark? Alright, users of Palm 3's, rase your hand. (*glances around*)
Psion 7 out there? (*glances around, sees a couple hiding in the closet*).
It hit the mark because we still talk about it. We still crave for it to come back. It might of even been around today if the spin-off company making them was not bought back by Apple shortly before Jobs got back, which he axed with childlike glee becuase it did not fit into his picture of a "user experience" device.

A bricked iPhone can be returned for a full switch... Correct me if I am wrong, but its not like they can tell the phone has been "unlocked", as I have not opened this phone in any way, and as such have not voided any warrenty on the hardware.
In fact I think I will install this update, I have a small scratch on my iPhone driving me insane, which is not enough to warrent an exchange. A bricked iPhone on the other hand from a corrupt firmware, would...
I will have to explain to my family that they should *not* update the firmware if they want to keep using t-moble, at least until someone else figures out how to unlock the phone. Or I will simply install my backup copy of the current firmware, no harm done and all.
I mean, being able to play a few games while in airplane mode, having free personal ringtones ripped from our own media, using t-mobile, an ebay tracker, an application that uses cellphone triangulation to calculate your location on the map, an AIM client, a digital recorder for lectures and meetings, a quickbooks app, an ebook reader, and a NES emulator; are all worth more to us then having an itunes store on the phone that lets us know what songs are playing in our local starbucks... I mean with the tmobile 'total internet' package (for $19.95 a month), I can use the tmobile hotspot in my local starbucks, for speeds faster then EDGE.... A greater convinence in my mind.

If the JW accept this product, then fewer of them will die in surgery, or have their children die. Fewer deaths all around is always a good thing in my book.
Jack Valenti just fucking DIED of a stroke and all you can think about are $175 laptops?????
Alright, I'll get it over with: *ahem* Ding, dong, the witch is dead
Now thats over with, onto the more notable laptop. Got to say, still excited about this project. Last time I held a computer class in the DR, a massive power surge nearly killed me when the computer in question was powered up... These little things should be able to take the abuse, and the unstable power grids of many of these developing countries. Still cannot wait until a consumer model is released, so I can prepair a few classes on them for next time I go down.
non-toxic even at very high concentrations
Does this stuff affect other viruses? (Is it something that evolved for this reason?) If so, why doesn't the body make more of it already? Would that be too biologically expensive, or would that have problematic effects we haven't recognized yet?
Well, it is a miracle drug that cures everything, from deadly viruses, bacterial infections, even cancers. The problem is that VIRIP, or as its know under its commercial name, Trutonin, obliterates the person's immune system... Creating a lifelong dependance on the drug.
I always thought the name of the game was to keep your focus and not dilute your efforts.
A common mistake many people make. If you see the potential for your main marketable product to dwindle into nothingness, it is very common to start to branch out for stability. Take BP in the 70's and through the 80's. They bought up damn near every poultry line, and started massive breeding efforts. You wanted to buy some chickens for your egg laying company? You ordered the chicks from BP. You wanted to buy some turkeys to raise and feed your army (Russia, one of their largest clients...), you went to BP. You had a disease that wiped out a massive population of your chickens in you country? BP. Not something most associate with an oil company.
A good company is a great trunk, with smaller sections, run as independants, branching out. All feeding money back into the base. If one branch withers and dies, the company can keep growing strong.
So long as the camera network will be avalible to the masses, and every public building (police, jail, court, fire, prime minister's office, etc) also have one. Then I would be less parinoid. In fact it would be a good thing... I could plan my walk by looking at the route before hand, and when I get bored I could watch the police to make sure they are kept in line. It would be perfection... Hell, America should do it, then when the goverment "detains" people without cause or notice one can turn to the TIVO to prove it...
I thought the first animal to be used as an organ factory would be a pig... Organs are roughly the same sized, takes minimal land to grow them, grow up faster, and already have a shitload of similarities. Aside from a (sugar complex?) that initially makes the tissues REALLY toxic... Which is why every now we hear that they have altered pigs to lack this (complex?)...
Is there any reason to use pigs over sheep?
You know, someone could make a funny parody of the "Get a Mac" commercials; it's just that no one has.

There are plenty of fantastic parodies of the "Get a mac" commercial. Many of which sell macs better then the original...
Be it in comic format: http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20060815
Or video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-L-0s-7-Z0&mode=r
Their are even parodys depicting religion: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/get-a-mac-ads-the-
In fact, this has got to be the most parodied ad I have ever seen...
At Bently College, when we gave Jerry from "Ben and Jerry's" ice cream and honorary degree, he brought with him a truck of free ice cream. So much so that every student and proffessor willing had a freezer stuffed with the stuff afterwards... What will Gates do, give all the students copies of WIndows Vista? Thats a bit like someone dousing the students with STD infected blood...
Now who should get an honorary Harvard degree is Hugh Heffneir, for his buisness empire... Maybe he would pass the bunnies around...
Only if national secrets exist in Barrens chat...
I use a $200 Miglia addon to my mac mini, and can use both the eyeTV settup and my macmini's apple remote to enjoy watching my shows. Simple. Easy. And I don't pay every month... Its the best of both worlds...
