You are looking at it the wrong way. Acessory makers will sell their present inventory to present iPod owners - they are not thworing that in the garbage just now. And if by chance you upgrade your iPod, you will also have to buy NEW acessories due to the change of form factors.
Bees are social animals. They don't long for free internet access, they don't wander off their path, they don't email their hives secrets to another hive nor do they program spyware in order to gain a botnet to send spam to other hives. In fact, you even don't have to tell them what to do: they know by themselves. Also, the Queen Bee is not a boss in any sense; she work as hard as a drone, perhaps more, and they only take care so well of her because there is a single one - so she' s valuable.
We humans, as much as we like to call ourselves "social beings", are in fact gregarious. We like to be next to each other and we depend on others to live and get things done. But deep inside -perhaps not so deep - we are selfish and resist to authority. We are more like a pack of wolves than a bee hive.
Sort of. According to brazilian law (but IANAL), if a child company like Google Brasil is "subpoenaed" for info the parent company have access to, then it is obliged to comply. Google Brasil is obviously affiliated with Google US, so if they don't store the info themselves they should ask the parent company. While I understand US law might see the case otherwise, you have to comply with brazilian law if you want to have a company in Brasil.
That said, there is a lot of both normal porn and child porn in Orkut; they don't enforce their own policies. Orkut is as popular to brazilians as MySpace is to americans, so communities trading publicy child porn pics is big bussiness and Orkut/Google should be more careful with dealing with this.
A movie about a disturbed-psychic-psicotic-teen-serial-killer that doesn't actually kill anyone, put together with a self-proclaimed Han Solo clone that manages to loose a fight to modern samurai/ninja with a wretched sense of honour and half a working neuron?
I never watched the original Firefly series, but I thought I would like from all the hype in/.. I was extremely disapointed when I grabbed the DVD.
I don't have to travel since I am brazilian and I still live here. If you are american/non-brazilian, congratulations. In fact we do have a lot of racism here but it is fundamentally different from yours. It is more social oriented - meaning that black people who somehow managed to ascend in society (i.e., get wealthy) are more tolerated. On the other hand, racism here is much more based on appearance than on "race" itself; someone which is "white enough" may be accepted as a white person even if one has undeniable black (or other ethnics) origins. Third, and this is the most appalling aspect, black people here are usually ashamed of their ethnic origin. While it is commom for afro-american people (can't we just say black?) to reject white people as hard as they themselves are rejected, this kind of behaviour is absent here. Basically african-brazilian people lack an identity - only recently there has been some tiny steps towards achieving one.
This caracteristics lead to interesting facts, like famous and rich brazilian people who would be considered black (or at least non-white) in most countries consider themselves white - soccer player Ronaldo said that "even I, being white, suffer prejudice". Also it leads to a lot of black males which somehow get wealthy to marry almost exclusively white, blonde spouses - they become a sort of a trophy. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against mixed marriages, but the trend is clear.
Well I don't. It isn't their product. It belongs to whoever bought the copy of WindowsXp, it'is not Microsoft's anymore. If Vista comes with WGA built-in, and people are well aware of that (sort of what happens to HL2 now with Steam) - then be it. But noone who bought XP originally ever agreed to that. I hope someone in your convoluted legal system has the sense to stop what is clearly a tour de force by Microsoft, and serve no practical purpose other than to annoy the legitimate buyers.
Youre clearly wrong here. You obviusly eat dogfood to be dogmatic and drink koolaid to be koolmatic. Man, what are they teaching you at school these days?
Unless you have some weird way of thinking that id would somehow buy Duke Nukem Forever and finish it, I guess you were talking about 3DRealms. Ok, it has been so long since they last published a game you no longer know their name.
First, no one knows for sure if the universe is isotropic. We assume it is. As we assume that protons don't decay, energy is conserved, and so on. Second, just as in your example, there is no center in the surface. Assuming the universe would shrink in a Big Crunch, it would be just like deflating a gas ball; everything would go closer (in fact, space-time itself would bend), without a need for a center.
While I will not discuss Symbian vs WindowsMobile issues - since you do not even seems to know the capabilities of Symbian OS, it would be moot - I can assure you it is far from crappy. Multitasking, a decent TCP/IP stack, plenty of choices for coding - Symbian is primarily C++ based, but there is a lot of code in Java and there is a Python SDK from nokia as well. Before calling the OS crappy actually try to google a little to kwnow about what it can do.
A friend of mine who works with design (photoshop, illustrator, CorelDraw and so) was hunting for a 19 inch LCD. Question is, he is used to 1600x1200. Most (in fact all) 19" LCDs I have seen are either 1280*1024 or 1440*900, if they are widescreen. Is there any constraint on the native resolution of LCDs? I understand most people that are serious about graphics will not use LCDs due to worse color reproduction and such, coul it be that there isn't yet a market for higher-res LCDs?
A top-notch ATI or Nvidia GPU now is like US$600. I remember they being much cheaper when Nvidia was the only king in town - or even when 3dfx ruled the game. We had nice improvements in performance and technology, but the price has gone all the way up.
yep, but switching can be done with #echo peripheral [host]>/sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode so it is not such a nuisance. Scripts/applets can easily be written to do that to please the not CLI inclined as well.
What bothers me is that the host software *is there*, at least some devices work. You need nothing else to use an usb keyboard or mount a mass storage device; using an USB mouse is another story, apparently the X-server won't support it.
Disclaimer: I have a N770 as well. The real deal with RS-MMC cards is that they are not what Nokia's phones are using *now*. Newest Nokia phones (at least Symbian models) are coming with mini-SD. Older models used RS-MMC - sometimes dual-voltage, which thankfully are not required for N770. And even older ones used plain MMC.
Problem is, it would be quite easy to use a normal SD/MMC slot that would be compatible with all these formats, plus normal sized SD cards which are cheap and used in a plethora of other devices. I still haven't got why they didn't include a CF slot, a microdrive would fit the 770 pefectly. My other quirk is the half-assed USB host implementation. I can use an USB keyboard, mount my nano or CF card w/ reader, and I guess that even IDE drives in an USB enclosure would work. But I have to do an ugly (at least for me) soldering hack in order to do it - an the resulting package is less than portable. Supplying +5V to the USB circuit doesn't seem such a big deal.
That said, I am quite happy with it. But I agree it is far from consumer-friendly for anyone which knows nothing about SSH/remote X-sessions and the such. As it is, it is perfect as a linux junkiee toy/remote monitoring tool, or as a standalone web-browser (using swap that is). It could be so much more with little effort.
What if they (whoever they are, you KNOW WHO they are, don't you?) replace cash-money for RFID-card-cash? Then everyone would be obliged to use RFID in everything. Don't tell me you really think Bush (or anyone else) wouldn't do that if he could. Complete knowledge (and control) over the market, yummy.
No one is denying Apple the chance to use Linux-NTFS. They can use it, as long as they accept the GPL. That is a simple concept to grasp. You never wondered why Apple doesn't want to use Linux-NTFS code unless it is under their licensing? If I write my code, I get to choose which license it will use. You think they should change their license because Apple asked them?

Yeah, I always believe spokeswomen, they would never lie and throw the responsibility on the back of a disposable employee.

If Honda had been giving away Accords for years (beside actually letting you open it up and replace it engine), humm, yes.
A major contingence plan you showed there guys.
