I think it's a smarter way of doing it on the whole, so mobile banking is just a natural extension from that. It's not required to check funds though, I have my bank send an SMS every monday with my balance (it's free for me, so why not), but I could use a different trigger, such as when it dips below some limit.
I haven't really noticed any excessive heat, it might be that earlier versions don't switch off some component the newer versions do.

In principle, yes, but slashdot requires the correct form key to be submitted as well, so merely clicking on the link won't do. If you could sneak some javascript into the url, then it might be possible to fetch a key first, but slashdot is too restrictive for that, I believe.
IANACPUDeveloper, but I don't think it'll be a problem in the long run. It may be crufty now, but eventually it will be old enough, with enough abstraction layers between applications and the lower levels that stuff can simply be dropped.
The cell phone market in the US seems awesomely borked. Isn't there any kind of regulation for operators? Or perhaps the operators are just so hostile towards each other that all rational thought goes out the window..
Moreover, what does it mean? It seems it has to do with the latest versions of Windows and Office, but what exactly? The Microsoft site tells me that "People are your most important asset. With the right software, they'll push your business forward" (*) or somesuch. Ya sure, all the examples and marketing fluff sound great, but there has to be something concrete somewhere, right? Otherwise, why spend money marketing it, unless the whole thing is a branding campaign for manager types.
(*) $100 dollars have been transferred to your Swiss bank account. Also, it's "drive" not "push".
$30-60?! In Finland this is usually 0€ or around there. I don't see how it can make sense to charge for setting up a connection, since that is what you want people to do as much as possible. If a competitor charges $30 for setting up, you'd get instant customers by saying "changing to us right now costs nothing, no hidden fees!".

It sounds rather kludgy from my point of view. Revolutionary would be if it already had all the info, gathered based on my location, and I just hit a button: "food" and it gives a couple of arrows I can follow to get to different kinds of food, based on my preferences. Or "Kill time: 30 min", and it gives a few small galleries, cafés, and nice parks (depending on weather). That's a feature worth talking about.
Good god, it's like a competition on the back of a pack of corn flakes: "Write an essay on how you feel about the word "Crunchy!", and win a trip to Paris!"
It was the pilot who sent those inputs, because he didn't have enough training, remember? The fly-by-wire system could have prevented the pilot from totally screwing up (unnecessary max deflection at just below speed limit), but it's still a pilot error as well.
Well, wiktionary gives me "2. unsound... 5. deviant.. 6. weird", which is what I was going for. Rude & strange probably works too, but I don't actually know the person, so it's a bit too specific.
Good opening and closing paragraphs, but the descriptions of the chapters are somewhat repetitive and without much actual content.
I would like to know more about CSS, but I can't get a good sense of the quality of this book from the review. Brings up an excellent point, but introduction is plagued by choppy grammar. Also, not constructive enough critique.
I'd like to read the entire review, but I can't get a good sense of its quality from the parent post.
Jokes aside, the article (and people posting here) seem to (want to) show that Hans, Nina and that Sturgeon guy are all somewhat less-than-stable. It all sounds a bit like biased views from the parties themselves, though, so what's your POV? I don't mean who did what, but what kind of people they are?
How much heat are these things putting out these days? I'm considering something between 7600 to a 7900, probably with only a passive heatpipe. Are you saying the 8800 actually has less heat dissipation?
I'm consistently amazed by the complexity of today's processors... Is there some walkthrough anywhere, that would explain just what all is stuffed into a typical modern x86 CPU?

It's simple: drive on the slope until the crater is filled with blueberries, then you can easily get out.

And besides that, when was the last time a plane crashed because the wing structure failed?

Ah, I see. So he is in fact slightly dodgy then. Not that it proves anything of course, dodgy people tend to attract other dodgy people.
I, for one, welcome our new USB stick fractal overlords.
