I'm curious what the BS think is the right answer to C.
Is it: "to protect the artist's property" [WRONG]
or is it:
"a temporary monopoly - a bad thing but here
a necessary evil - granted to
promote arts and sciences".
Just wondering.
wasn't the vaporware story posted earlier today... if
this wasn't on the list it should be. Some preliminary
tests of scramjets have been done. Very preliminary. Not
by these guys.
Drag n' drop attachments work just fine in kmail. Maybe TB is
just crap (I wouldn't use it).
Another *big* plus of kmail is that option to choose which
smtp server to use to send a message at the time you want
to send it. This is just wonderful for those on the road who
are disconnected from their default mail server, or who use
different ones at different locations and in a coffee shop
use gmail's server.
My notebook only has room for *one* drive onboard. I'm not going
to replace a 80gb hardrive for a 4gb ssd (which currently cost
$465 (see http://www.dvnation.com/nand-flash-ssd.html/).
So the hybrid is the way to go... but what I'd like to see is a
hybrid that just shows up as two drives under non-vista operating
systems. Then the boot stuff could go on the small flash drive and everything
else on the old fashioned (big) hard drive.
Bill Gates says that windows vista wakes up from hibernation
in 6 seconds (I've heard it actually does it in around 10).
So why couldn't there be a known good "hibernation file" that
handles standard reboots (maybe there could be a special
switch for a old style reboot for when problems crop up).
I don't see any reason why this kind of built in hibernation
wouldn't work.
Also, there is no reason why, and windows vista supports it
I'm told, that necessary boot files could not be stored on
flash ram. This should get an ordinary style boot up down to
just a few seconds (somewhat like my palm tx).
I am sure there are many other ideas for shaving seconds off
the boot time, and it is surely agreed by everybody that the
shorter it is the better.
Just remember that phones normally will transmit about every 15 minutes to check in with the network.
NOT when they are OFF - which is the point of the article.
The question to be asked are: what models of cell phone (if any)
cannot be really turned off? I'm quite sure my antique Nokia
3310 does not check with the network every 15 minutes (or EVER)
when it is OFF. Otherwise, the batteries of a seldom used phone
wouldn't last for months between charges.
... say... in the article I read (linked in the story) it
says:
Scientists at the U.K.'s Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston, west of London, have traced the polonium 210 found in London to a nuclear power plant in Russia, the capital's Evening Standard newspaper reported today.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it seems to claim
that the British scientists traced the polonium to a reactor
in Russia.
Comments here are very confusing. The court application
states that the police put a bugging device "in the
cell phone". This device worked even if the cell phone
was off.
That is easy to understand.
What is not so easy to understand is all the comments
about cell phones transmitting even when they are "off".
I have trouble believing in such magic.
Now, some cell phones perhaps cannot be fully turned
off (as noted in one of TFAs). I have no trouble believing
that a cell phone that is turned ON can transmit.
Battery removal simply makes sure that the cell phone is
really OFF.
So one question is: which model cell phones actually get
turned off with the power button (is there is a list, are
none of them capable of really turning off, or what).
I strongly suspect that my antique nokia 3310 is absolutely
off when I turn if off (anyone know different?). Anyway, there
is no way to remove its battery short of dissassembly.
According that definition, you are also morally wrong because you are saying that it is morally wrong to say porn is morally wrong, ie imposing your own morals on people.
the poster to whom you reply was not *imposing* his morals
on anyone (no one was was sent to jail for sending a porn
monger to jail, for example). There was an expression of
opinion about morality (a rather peculiar one IMO) but you
seem OK with that...
Mostly I use linux but suspect that I really should get past the cups problems by learning how to network machines and use the windows box for a print server
I have a mixed home network (windows xp and three different linux
distros) and cups + samba (with raw passthru) works perfectly,
everybody can print on all the printers (well, there's only 2).
The CIA, NSA, DIA, NRO, and all the other agencies we love to hate are solely about information.
And these organizations exist and work so hard at keeping
information unfree. Why? Because information "wants" to
be free. This is almost a theorem of thermodynamics. Unshared
information is an unstable equilibrium and it takes a lot
of work to keep the information state at the top of the hill.
The internet is like adding a new path to the lowest energy
state and information is just "desperate" to flow down that
easy pathway to the equilibrium state...
the object is to reduce to 1990 (IIRC) levels; some countries
are *below* their 1990 levels (Russia the big one).
you can figure it out from there how credits could help achieve
the goal of Country A reducing to 1990 levels while Country
B still remains below 1990 level - credits do not reduce
carbon emissions. That's phase 2 (officially designated "the
hard part").
in America, one should always be ready to be arrested,
and held without charge, possibly tortured and/or
sent to a secret prison in a foreign country. This is
what Americans call "Freedom"

Just wondering.
TFA goes into and explains why it still shows as 'live' - this is a legal issue not a simple "is it in the registry" issue.
your comment somehow makes me think of a bunch of NBA stars playing basketball with some pygmies ... good work :)
why don't you ask Archimedes?

This is typical MS behaviour - entirely immoral and calculating ...
and where do I sign up?

???? MS pays $348m-$440m; Novell pays "at least $40m" ??? Wake up.

I'll go along with 10 years - but the renewal should cost real money (not a huge sum, but enough to make it a real choice).
I'm surprised that their nurses put up with having to work the keyboard for them ...

What do you find wrong with cups?

It's not *just* a metaphor
but then OP would have nothing to say at all
