This is targeted for Indian market, not US or Chinese market. It probably has less power than Geo Metro so it is not going to work well at US highway speeds (acceleration wise).
Energy saving is fine but the compact fluorescent bulbs contain Mercury and there aren't enough recycling places to make it convenient for Jane Doe to not dump them in trash bags. This means that all this Mercury will end up in landfills and leak and become part of the food chain.
Verizon is not alone in this. The companies (and even some DMV's and banks) are collecing and selling out their customer's data with complete disregard to the risks involved from privacy to identity theft. I went to CompUSA a few weeks ago to buy a Nokia N800 wifi internet tablet. At the checkout register, when the lady scanned it, a window popped up on her screen. She said I had to give my phone number, name and address to buy it. I asked why and she called her manager who said I have to provide this information otherwise they can't sell it to me. I explained that it is not a mobile phone but no luck. I left it at their checkout register and walked out. I came home and emailed the customer service who never responded. I also called the store manager on the phone and he explained that they build a profile of people buying computers so that they can provide service later if needed and it is NOT optional. Touch luck. I had to buy it from a different retailer because I felt that they had absolutely no need to collect my personal data.
When I signed up for Wall Street Journal print subscription, I used my abbreviated name in the mailing address in case they decide to print it and throw it out in the yard. Surprise surprise, within about 6 weeks, I started getting offers from other print media and magazines such as businessweek and economist with the exact same variation in my mailing address confirming that Wall Street Journal had already sold that data!!
It is sad that you have to opt out (they make it as difficult as possible) instead of opting in. And with acquisition of companies like Doubleclick, it seems that our darling Google is headed the same way!!
If you explore these areas, and find out that the HIV has actually never been seen, just the antibodies...supposedly...how on earth are scientists finding a vaccination or any treatment for an unknown/unseen virus? I wish I was kidding.
Cingular's iPhone data plan for slower speed is more than twice of what I pay ($15/mo) for unlimited data access through Sprint's vision network on my Windows Mobile Phone (which replaced Treo 600). I am happy with the service and don't want people trying to steal my "iPod phone" which is probably even easier with SIM cards to replace (not sure if iPhone has a SIM card). I am not switching. My phone works well.
I have had Treos and then switched to a Windows Mobile 5 phone with a real keyboard. No matter how smart the software, the touch screen keyboard is not as convenient as the real keyboard. And then the unlimited data plan for a Cingular phone is much more expensive than the $15 per month data plan from Sprint with much faster download speeds as well. Verdict - Phone looks cool but I am not going for it until both of these change.
I wouldn't want to get that done on me if I worked for Blue Security. Imagine a Russian spammer getting tip off from a buddy. A DDoS and surgeons will see "Buffering..please wait.."
I've been trying to cut back on my sugar intake lately, and am interested in what some of you drink that isn't loaded down with the sweet stuff...
Listen (while this sounds like a flamebait) but for centuries humans have been drinking one drink extensively and all other life forms still do. It's good old H2O. There is nothing that beats it and it is the best drink you can have and it is available readily!!
Viewpoint Media Player is a program that is installed during the installation of AOL Instant Messenger that is a plugin for displaying graphical content in the software's own proprietary format. According to the software's end user license agreement, Viewpoint Media Player collects usage information and forwards it to Viewpoint servers. Each installation of Viewpoint Media Player contains a unique alphanumeric identification number that can be used to uniquely identify an installation of the software.
A successful attempt to remove Viewpoint Media Player while AOL Instant Messenger is still installed will cause AOL Instant Messenger to reinstall Viewpoint Media Player the next time AOL Instant Messenger is run. This advertising can be completely removed however with third-party hacks.
Not too long ago, a french ship lined with toxic asbestos was sent to India (finally had to be returned) and had wide coverage in media. The poor are happy to take these things apart and make some quick cash without any knowledge of long-term ill effects. Sometimes, the hunger and immediate needs prevail over any consideration of long-term ill effects.
Next time I will see an instant rebate deal on flash drives at yourlocal electronics store, I will tell you. Will save you time and probably some money!!
Another retarded slashdot comment/moderation. Newsflash for you: YOU DONT NEED THE IDE FOR.NET DEVELOPMENT!
Hello!! You can do all your programming in Notepad or any text editor...Would you do that?? How can they sell those IDE's for outrageous prices?? Why would anyone pay for them? You think they are all dummies?
That's what you get for using Microsoft app platform. By the time you will move everything to.Net framework 2.0, they will have 3.0 released and you will have to go through this all over again. When I paid over $2000 to get Visual Studio 2002, little did I know that it only supported.net Framework 1.0. When v1.1 came out, Microsoft said you have to buy Visual Studio 2003. Now that v2.0 is out, Miscosoft says you have to buy Visual Studio 2005. Your VS2002 or 2003 won't take.net framework 2.0 and they don't give you a tool/patch to make it work. Just keep buying and paying $$'s...
With VMWare offering the Server product for free (after competition from Microsoft), I am all for consolidation of hardware. My plan is to get a dual quad-core processor (when they come out in a year or two) machine with 4 Gig of RAM and run the virtual server on it to run all the OS's I run on the multiple machines. Saving of space and power....

Sorry, but Yes!!

Get an Athlon X2 4200+ machine.... cheap and good
For example, Sony VAIO TX Series. If you can afford them, check them out:
* Intel® Centrino(TM) Mobile Technology.
* Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
* Ultra-light 2.76 pounds
* Up to 7.5 hours of battery life
Try getting a laptop with Intel Ultra Low Voltage processor. You can easily get 5-6+ hours of battery life.

Hello!! You can do all your programming in Notepad or any text editor...Would you do that??
No, you pick one of the better editors he suggested. Why on Earth would you do it in Notepad and what's your point?
The point is that VS is the best editor for enterprise/team development. The others are not better, they are inferior in comparison...
