If the battery/charger was non-standard and required bringing back to the store to swap out/recharge, it might make it a little harder to hack (well, not to hack but for people to reproduce the hack easily at home)...
While I agree the QWERTY system is outdated, I don't believe that most people (other than stenographers and secretaries taking dictation) need the extra speed, as the bottleneck isn't the fingers -- its the brain.
It's simple, if you make the ballot in enough states to possibly win the elections, you should be part of any debate. Since you can get on enough ballots simply by mobilizing regular citizens
If you can find the owner, the owner would appreciate having it back. If you can't find the owner, laugh with your friends if you want, but don't post it.
What if posting it publicly is the only way to find the owner?
4. Songwriters and musicians have the talent and creativity, but their 'containers' (the record labels) own all the copyrights to everything a musician writes or performs.
The original Fox "OB" (official board) -- the navigation on this site takes a bit of getting used to (you should immediately go to preferences and set the number of posts displayed per page to the max when you register/sign in) and you should stay out of the off-topic forum if you don't have thick skin (there are a lot of political threads and it gets very heated at times); however, this is among the oldest and largest FF communities, it's very friendly and chatty (some threads look more like IM/IRC chat logs than newsgroup threads -- say a quick hello in the infamous "Serenity Saloon" thread if you want to see what I mean) and folks like Chris Buchanan and Adam Baldwin post there (Adam mostly in the political threads; Chris mostly to announce news)
FireflyFans.net -- also one of the first FF sites, the volume is lower than the OB (although some would argue with a better S/N ratio) -- threads here stay pretty show-focused, with only an occasional political thread that is easily avoided. Includes a great "blue sun room" section for fan-created artwork, fanfic, and filk (fan lyrics)
The new official movie site forum. still getting its legs under it, and not as popular yet as the two major sites above, but it's growing (11K+ members) and they have a point earning system to win T-shirts and stuff (note my restraint in not giving you the URL that would have given me recruitment points!);)
Also, be sure to check out BrownCoats.com -- it's not a forum but a great resource/catalog/archive/pedia of firefly information (episode info, bloopers, costuming, history, interviews, etc.)
I had remembered reading several discussions about this on FireflyFans.net and I could have swore I read one where they said Joss admitted they made a mistake with the gun needing air to fire, but I couldn't find it. I did find this thread, though, which is still an entertaining read:
You do know that Joss admitted they made a mistake with the gun needing air to fire, right? Apparently they asked someone who didn't really know what he was talking about...
Not so much to respond to your trolling, but in case other, more reasonable, people might be curious, let me quote from my letter to Entertainment Weekly:
Dear Entertainment Weekly,
Your May 21st, 2004 article "The X Factor" cites Fox as stating, "We wish Firefly had found an audience." It would be more accurate to wish the audience could have found Firefly, with all the schedule changes and preemptions, the out-of-order airing of the episodes, and the friday-night-death-slot with which Fox saddled this wonderfully funny and intelligent show. Fortunately for fans of quality storytelling, and despite Fox's lack of support, audiences HAVE been able to find Firefly - mostly from word-of-mouth - and DVDs have been flying off retailers' shelves by the hundreds of thousands, which has made it possible for Joss Whedon and company to bring Firefly to the big screen in 2005 with the highly anticipated movie "Serenity". Fans around the world are hopeful that a box office success will mean a return to the small screen for this beloved show, preferably on a network whose mission statement is not using reality television to promote self-image problems in young girls.
Which is why we KNOW e-bay doesn't really want to stop this sh!t, because if they did, they would simply include some data about the approximate value of goods bought/sold each month for the last several months...
"hmm...should I buy a $15K plasma TV from this person with 100 positive feedback, and an average of 50 dollars worth of sales a month..."
Though IBM did not invent Linux, does not distribute it and earns nary a penny on it, the computer giant is spending billions in a crusade to make Linux...
IBM's Global Support organization certainly makes a good number of pennies on it, so I wouldn't go extolling IBM's selfless virtues too much.
It appears the offending images (and the section/chapter of the flash they were in) have been removed. No apology or recompense for Klowner though, I guess?
...to just slap a bandwidth quota on students? Perhaps with some white-listed sites that don't count towards the quota (specific coursework-related downloads/files, etc.)?
As long as employers are clear about how many hours people are allowed to work, they shouldn't be required to shell out for people who go over.
Yes, as long as they are not demanding unachievable production from employees, and threatening to fire them (and their managers) for not delivering 60 hours worth of work a week within the allowed 40 hours
Ms. Danner said her employees could not do all the unloading, stocking, cashier work and pricing of merchandise in the hours allotted. "The message from the district manager was, basically, `I don't care how you do it, just get it done,' " she said.
You have to wonder if there's any way to go after the district managers and/or corporate for knowingly demanding certain performance levels that could not be reasonably achieved with the number of "billable hours" allowed.
Everything described on that site is standard operating procedure for technology marketing/pr departments. Case studies, customer/analyst quotes, etc. are often drafted ahead of time and then sent to the company/analyst for approval. And of course straightforward engineer-speak ("our monopoly") is massaged into marketing-speak ("our large installed base of satisfied customers").
Why does everyone assume these products are actually discounted/on sale? They just jack up the prices to ridiculous amounts and force you to sign up for a 'discount' card so you can buy them at reasonable prices. If you don't believe me, the next time you go grocery shopping, go to safeway and refuse to use a discount card.

Short term, your school. Long term, your knowledge, experience, and skill.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see mention of this anywhere in the most recent "Wireless Computing Devices" newsletter posted on THE NWFusion website...

Absolutely. Here's the run-down:

She starts on that "girl's name" thing, I'll show her good an' all I got man parts.
Frickin' HI-larious show!
Definitely too pretty to die. In fact, I just convinced the missus to let me skip town on Sunday to go see Joss and the whole cast at ComicCon in SD:
