To add to this, Professor Alvin Roth has routinely put up his presentation slides from his Economics 2040 graduate class (small class about various Economics Experiments):
First of all, your govt representative doesn't give a hoot about service interruption because the court has&will rule that the shutdown must not affect government employees and they must continue to have access.
Second, it seems blatantly clear that the workaround will be implemented only after a shutdown. I suspect whether or not the "workaround" actually avoids infringing on NTP's patents is irrelevant. It will buy more serious time for RIM, time spent in the courtroom deciding on fresh new software, and ultimately more time for the patent office to retract their view on the rest of NTP's patents.
Since this case has started, RIM has been buying time instead of paying out; given time, they know they will be proven right. Why pay with close to $1B in royalties when you can play the legal system game as well as your slimy IP litigator and sit on your bum until your enemy is only months away from having the carpet pulled under him? (plus i loveee sitting on my bum.)
Wait! Windows XP has: a Previous Versions feature that can be tuned for a particular directory and a frequency (not CVS based though). Works very well. Also previous versions of files are available across network shares as well.
Plus, w00t you get the extra bonus of (S)low Performance that you mention...
Yes actually, Microsoft CAN buy Apple. With no debt, Apple would be a great leveraged buyout, i.e., buying up the company and issuing debt to pay for the company. By increasing leverage, Microsoft could clearly buy out Apple if it wanted to...
Just in time too, LBO's are coming back in style: Circuit City, Hertz Rental Cars, Toys R Us...
So definitely it's not a matter of Price... just whether it makes sense for Microsoft to take on another business. I am sure they consider the financial / legal / perceptual repercussions of buying their competitors all the time.
Consider the Tizio lamp, by Artemide. it is tall enough to get out the way of your monitors but extremely bright . It is also elegant with no exposed wiring and balances beautifully with its counter balances. Finishing touch is that it was designed by Richard Sapper, the original designer of the IBM Thinkpad, and has influences like the red colored controls and aluminum axes (think red trackpoint nipple and exposed ibm metal hinge).

Please mod parent up past +5 insightful. This is a Motorola product, that happens to feature an Apple-derived program, and can communicate with iTunes.
You can "blame" Apple all you want, they are still getting paid (by Motorola) and have no financial exposure to a potential ROKR failure.
A backpack makes better sense because it is jostling a large amount of weight predictably in the vertical direction. F = m * a. On the other hand/knee, your wrist or ankle-mounted generator is only moving that body part, a much smaller mass.
Please bring us a fast Remote Desktop like MS RDP 5 or ICA.
Yes the apologists will say: - Use SSH - Use VNC with compression - or from a technology standpoint, that it isn't doable with the inherent bitmapping in Quartz Extreme.
A fast secure remote desktop protocol for use with both servers and clients, is definitely one point that Apple's OS X sorely has missed.
ZOMAX is fine. From this article: http://www.hoovers.com/zomax-incorporated/--ID__51 171--/free-co-factsheet.xhtml
"Zomax is a supply chain management company that provides services such as order processing; printing and packaging; CD and DVD manufacturing; assembly and distribution; and returned-merchandise authorization. Zomax mostly serves customers in the computer hardware manufacturing and software publishing industries. It provides replication, telemarketing, and fulfillment services to software giant Microsoft, which accounts for about 22% of the company's sales. Another 19% come from Dell. Zomax operates through facilities in North America and Europe."
To the CEO of the Creative Corporation, Sim Wong Hoo, and fellow Slashdot readers.
Mr. Sim Wong Hoo, it is a pleasure to write to you.
To familiarize the readers, Creative has a long running bout with the reigning king, the Apple iPod. In fact, just last November, you, Mr. Sim, "declared war" on the iPod. . And Today, you had even more fighting words for the newest addition to the iPod platform, the iPod Shuffle:
Said Mr Sim, "Actually, to me it's a big let-down: we're expecting a good fight but they're coming out with something that's five generations older... So I think the whole industry will just laugh at it, -- it's worse than the cheapest Chinese player. Even the cheap, cheap Chinese brand today has display and has FM. I think it's a non-starter to begin with."
I am not here to discuss your comment about the Chinese, nor am I here to bash you personally or your company. I am not even here to talk technical specs, because frankly the lack of a male USB port on your Micro Slim is currently the least of your worries right now.
You are undoubtedly a smart guy, being where you are now. You have sold over 2 million MP3 players last Christmas season, no mean feat at all (vs 4M iPod). There is no doubt that your company Creative is a successful one.
But let me ask you this: You have declared War, but Do you want to WIN this war? Absolutely demolish all that is iPod and steal all the glory? Well then read on because as it stands, this is a War you will live or die for. If you want to live, please consider my Two Cents:
1) Tip #1: Think like the underdog. If you want to be a market maker, you need to grow up and act like one. We all learned about "Perfect Competition" in school, how it meant that there was no excess profit and that the only way to get out of that bind was to differentiate yourself. Right now, iPod is winning because it is differentiable from you (brand name, iTunes integration). How are you winning? What is your battle cry?
For the last two years, Creative has acted just like the "Chinese" me-toos (as you so put down in your latest comment) while Apple has been the market maker through and through. Here are some examples:
When the first generation Apple iPod was released, you still were selling the MP3 jukebox ($480) that could not fast-forward or rewind (true), that looked like a spaceship (definitely), and still took 20 seconds to transfer a song (USB1.0). Quickly, your team raced to build a better looking version, after the success of the big iPod.
The success of the iPod touch interface was also "borrowed" on your Zen-Touch line. And finally, after the Apple iPod Mini was announced, you surprisingly announced the new line of Zen Micro's in 10 colors.
See, I like supporting the "underdog." I like supporting the brightest and most inventive minds. I support Tivoli Audio, Sirius satellite radio, I support many of OS X's small developers' applications, I support the Treo 600, Brian Transeau's music and a million gazillion other small companies out there with insanely great ideas. These are premium but differentiable products that people are willing to spend extra money on.
Make something special, Be somebody special. We want that for your kids right? So incorporate that into your technological children, the Muvo's and the Zen's. Because Nobody honestly lusts to buy a me-too product.
I was lucky before Christmas and got the Seagate 400gb (7200.8 UATA not SATA however) drive for $200 after rebates at CompUSA. Definitely some markup going on and would be a good idea to look for sales.
With the amount of risk involved in this transaction (and being that IBM is such an advocate for consulting), I am sure IBM has run this through external management consulting teams on this one. That means that this is an extremely calculated financial move that has been crunched again and again and again...
I can only see this as the beginnings of a well thought out business plan, whether that be PowerPC or security etc... and hardly as simply an attempt for $$$.
One functionality on Mercedes-Benz vehicles that has really changed brake technologies is Sensotronic Brakes (SBC). Many of the features of SBC have not been brought over and activated in the United States such as "Traffic Jam Assist" and "Soft Stop." These items help both to prevent fatigue and increase comfort, resulting in less stressful (and more relaxing) driving.
The images can still be viewed/printed in Safari by a simple workaround. Choose the Safari Menu, Window -> Activity. Then double click the item with the pg=### in the URL where ### is your page number.
IE is better managed in corporate infrastructure installations. From Active Directory and Group Policy Management, one can set up connection settings, website caching, security settings (such as trusted sites, page persistence), lock certain panels, and most other things can be controlled centrally from any Active Directory server.
Last I checked, Mozilla and Opera did not offer such things.

By the way, appearance aside, IBM Thinkpads in the last few years have used titanium alloys for lids (but painted the appropriate IBM deep black).
p m _thinkpad_t42p/
Recent models include the T and X series, such as the T42p, T30, and the X30.

So titanium is not really a "new," verbatim. But certainly the color is.
