like the iPhone without the phone Not exactly...it doesn't have e-mail or Google Maps (although I suppose you could get those through Safari), no camera, and no speaker.
He put his ship right next to the hanger doors creating as much as an airtight seal he could then he opened the door and all the air left his ship and filled the hanger area giving some pressure for him so his head doesn't explode but the air was rapidly thinning because it wasn't completly air tight so he only had a couple of seconds to get in.
Sounds like someone needs to take a deep breath. I'm suffering from oxygen deprivation just reading that sentence.:)
You gotta cut back on the Star Trek, the numerous humanoid aliens there are simply a function of make-up vs. CGI budget.
Actually, it sounds like you might want to watch a little more of it.:)
It required either that you had a windows OS installed or that you had the disk and could insert it.
I think the article is saying that the latter is no longer acceptable.
No, you pay up front for the enjoyment rating of the song. If your enjoyment goes beyond what you have paid for they bill you again.
Shhhhhhh...you're joking, I know, but an RIAA exec somewhere is probably thinking right now, "hey, that's not a bad idea..."
I'll give you one great use of iPod+WiFi that wouldn't require a lot of complex functionality on the iPod itself: podcasts. All of the feed URLs for the podcasts to which you are subscribed sync to the iPod from iTunes. The iPod can then, when connected to a WiFi hotspot, grab the latest podcasts without having to be connected to a PC.
I would personally love this for long car trips, as I wouldn't need to bring along my laptop just to grab the latest podcasts when I stop at Starbucks.
Amen...I have wondered the same thing. I mean, back in college, I had a PII-400, a 3Dfx Voodoo2 card, 128MB of RAM and 3D-intensive games like Quake II ran very well. All Windows has to do is render and animate simple stuff like buttons, windows, pull-down menus, etc. and it requires a freaking Pixar rendering cluster? Just how incompetent are their GUI developers?
I really wanted to like iTunes 7 after reading the notes from the presentation but after actually installing it, I discovered some gotchas:
* I thought they had finally given iTunes the ability to sync an iPod to/from multiple computers. It turns out that the new "reverse sync" only works on songs purchased from the iTunes store. Blegh.
* So...given the above problem, I was back to where I was previously (plugging the iPod into my work PC and listening through iTunes). That still works, but the nifty new "grouped" and "cover browser" views aren't available when listening to tracks on the iPod.
* After upgrading, I moved the newly created Start menu folders into a subfolder (as I do with all apps, to keep XP's "All Programs" list from getting too cluttered). I closed iTunes and then relaunched it a few minutes later. It recreated the "iTunes" folder in my Start menu. Oh tell me you didn't just do that... C'mon Apple...
Good grief, have any of the commenters here actually USED ASP.NET 2.0? Or are you just basing your statements on some half-true rant you read three years ago in a PHP forum somewhere? ASP.NET 2.0 actually does a pretty good job of rendering standards-compliant XHTML to the client browser. In fact, the only required piece of the ASP.NET toolchain that is made by Microsoft is IIS. I can use any page/code editor to build a site and any (current) browser to view them. Before someone objects...yes, it is possible to build horribly noncompliant pages in ASP.NET (just as it is in PHP), and yes, it is much easier to do some ASP.NET tasks in Visual Studio, but...come on people.
And when they say that "Web Designer currently only supports ASP.NET", they only mean that if you want to do some kind of server-side development using Expression, it is going to be ASP.NET. You are perfectly free to develop XHTML/CSS/JavaScript to your heart's content. But what's that? Microsoft didn't include PHP/JSP/Rails support? Oh, nevermind. It's a toy for "fanboys". Sheesh.
Everyone should read this about a similar Al-Qaeda plot in the mid-1990's called "Bojinka", put together by an Al-Qaeda cell operating out of the Philippines and involving, among others, Ramzi Yousef (the first WTC bomber from 1993) and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (the 9/11 planner, both now in custody). It seems the plan was to smuggle a nitroglycerine-based explosive substance onto planes in contact lens solution bottles, then use a programmable watch to detonate it on the next leg of its route when it was in U.S. airspace (and after the bomb planters had disembarked). The information coming out of the U.K. today sounds eerily similar.
I'm surprised how many people have never heard about it The wingnuts on the radio this morning were talking like the terrorists were planning on using contact lens solution AS the explosive somehow. As usual, there is more bad information out there than good at the moment.
Why would tobacco companies want to appeal to minors with their advertising? Kids are prevented by law from buying cigarettes anyway, right? What could they possibly gain from doing so?
I'll leave the answer to this not-so-rhetorical question as an exercise for the reader.
...the hard part is getting the big pharmaceutical companies to put time and money into the discovery and development of new antibiotics. It seems paradoxical, but it isn't a glamorous area of work, nor a particularly profitable one. The real money makers are those drugs that seemingly 99% of the population is taking at least one of (the ED, ADD/ADHD, hair loss, mild depression, insomnia, and allergy drugs). Drug companies are businesses first and many see little or no return on their investment in advanced antibiotics.
and they could certainly pull phone records for a reporter if they thought the reporter was involved in something nefarious, though I believe they require a warrant (IANAL)

and you have to install their software
Um, I just bought a track and didn't install one byte of software.

Closed-captioning for the 'Net history-impaired. :)
Numerous experts have said there's no practical or safe way to make a bomb from separate liquids onboard an airplane.
Eh, perhaps...but this was awfully close, and was perpetrated by Al-Qaeda, no less.

I think Marshall did the same thing in an episode of "Alias"...and the poor guy had to use a spork to get it out of the dead guy's head.

All this talk about "fingering" "nipples" is getting my kinda excited.

Star Trek would have its own cable channel. Or two.
It already does...it is called Spike.

No kidding. Next thing you know, they are going to want their own schools!
That's WSDL, not WDSL. I felt really stupid for a moment trying to figure out what the heck WDSL was.
Maybe Steve Gibson was right.
...called URGE. I'm confused.

That would work!

Not these days, it seems.
