I think a lot of the difficulty comes in when you consider the interface to such a device. When you hold a phone you like it to fit snugly up to your ear, but at the same time you want all sorts of connectors for your tv and to the computer which takes up space. Next you want it to be both a good video and still camera, which they don't seem to have mastered yet without the phone. Add in the mp3 player and other factors such as the amount of memory available and whether or not it would use cards or just internal flash and things get complicated.
Amongst other things, a common urban myth in Africa is that having sex with a virgin will cure AIDS... so you get AIDS-infected men raping girls who are so young that they have to be virgins. Nice.
It's also largely curable by the same education which would reduce AIDS and practically eliminate tuberculosis and malaria. In fact, the basic directives for achieving this are something like 4500 years old. Nevertheless, a magic bullet for AIDS would be a more than welcome assistant. My only real reservations center around what else it kills besides AIDS.
I think the magic bullet for people who believe that is simply a real bullet. You would think after the first couple times that that doesn't work they would figure it out, but no they just keep on fucking. Idiots.
I agree. Wired is almost always better if you can run the wire. I mean it's faster, cheaper, more secure, and you don't have to worry about interference as much .
I can second this. I once swallowed mine and it went right through my digestive system and kept working. I was even able to was it with bleach to get the shit stink off it without harm.
I think you need to remember that the RF spectrum is a finite resource and as such needs to be managed to prevent noise. Deregulate and you would have people lusing HF to go across town and I didn't pass the ham exams to have some bitch in kentucky's email to her boyfriend blocking DX when he lives down the street.
I think the feds should be granted warrants to enter the 180's employee's homes and build furniture in them.
That would kick ass. You could say things like "How do you like your new dining room table in the bathroom bitch?" or "ha ha a poorly designed cupboard in the living room, how do you like them apples mother fucker?".
I have the 533 MHz model with a gig of ram and quite like it as well. So far it runs win 2k though that could stand to be replaced. How do you find X works with the onboard graphics?
Cruise has been attacking psychiatry, not psychology. Please learn the difference.
Exactly, psychiatry is real medicine and psychology is something else (not that I have anything against it though). Oh and btw scientology doesn't think too highly of it either.
Psychiatry has a long and varied history of abuse, misuse, and just being outright wrong. I am sure there are good psychiatrists out there, but the past abuses by those in their profession means that anything a psychiatrist says should be viewed critically.
The same can be said of surgery and internal medicine in general and do you think psycology is always right or that psycologists can't abuse their privliges? Come now, that's obviously not the case.
I don't meen to come down on psycologists, but then talk therapy never worked for me and meds and ect (which was a miracle worker for me) can't be administered by them.
Medicines, gene therapy, electro-shock therapy, none of those things sound all that hot too me. While they may cure anxiety or depression or any other problem, they're not even close to something I would want to touch.
I've had both medication and ect. Personally, I recommend ect whole-heartedly, as it worked so fast and so well. The meds help but they are nothing in comparison as far as speed goes. The procedure is done while your under general anesthetic so all you feel is the iv needle. After the first treatment I had a slight headache but a tylenol cured that just fine. I had no memory loss at all. In short I definately recomend it.
Encryption would keep them from viewing your data, but if the provider was hacked, the attacker could still delete it even if you used a 1 time pad for everything.
But I suppose this is for backups, not in-use now stuff, but it still would be a problem.

I think he means that your overall costs would go down ie $56k + $33k > $56k + $(cut traces on the odd card). So it's like you have designs for two different pieces of hardware at the cost of one. Now whether or not it would be better for everyone if they would just sell the 56k at a decent price is another matter.
I remember back in the '80s we used to modify our jeans with a pair of scissors. That didn't help us run faster, jump higher, or gain the ability to remember where we put our keys either. Oh well 2 down, ininitely many more to go.
Yes, but are you looking at new laptops on ebay? I imagine that these have warranty which is worth something. Though I suppose that depends on how good said warranty is.

Will you be able to choose between LCD and CRT?
That said, I agree that it would be cool.
This is a cool idea. Now add in SLI support and you've got yourself quite a card.
and rivers flow downstream.
God you're annoying.
Wouldn't it be cool if they could fit all that in?
I know a few that claim to use vi, but I've only seen them really use pico, easy edit, nano and the like.
I don't think many people use vi to do anything for a living.
Imagine the poor folks stuck on dial-up. That 100GB NIC, sitting there unused, while you sit and wait for your connection to be established.

Nope, it's because of the ninja.

Yes, on i386 and possibly other architectures but not on all of them.
