It can't power the device (as JohnnyBGod) said), and you can't control the music with the radio controls. Also, a USB port allows one to use a simple flash drive, instead of a full MP3 player.
Seems to me it's perfectly suited, not ill suited.
How long are people supposed to wait for final 802.11n? If someone bought a draft n laptop 2 1/2 years ago along with a draft n router, they would get at least some of the benefits of n over g for several years. They would probably have a new laptop by now... And finalized n still isn't out!
It's like buying Vista (or OSX) before the first patches - except here, you don't get the first patches for at least 3 years. And it's better than the alternative.
Well, yeah. Of course they wrote it! Once they made the excuse they had to follow through by actually writing the paper.
Not writing the paper would be like telling a cop you were speeding to get to the hospital. Then when he lets you go, you drive to the movies while he follows you.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "opens their network." Isn't their network open already? You can use any unlocked device with an AT&T sim and it'll work. I've got an N78 on an AT&T "Pick your Plan" prepaid account right now.
Would a phone qualify as a complex product? Nokia has about a 40% market share in an industry that shipped 1.12 billion phones in '07. Let's say roughly 450 million. In 2007. Add to that 347 million they shipped in 2006, and you get about 850 million phones shipped in just two years. I'm pretty sure they passed the billion mark already.
I just thought it would be fun to quote again... All the cool kids quote the parent when they reply!
Oh, and...funnily enough I've found that climate change skepticism seems to be the prevalent sentiment here
Although I tend to side with the thesis of anthropogenic climate change I agree that there are too many alarmists who will draw an instant connection between occurances such as this and "global warming".
That said, I would have hoped that you could dig up some better references to support your post; Miranda Divine is an ignoarmus and Kieth Windshuttle has only slightly more credibility than David Irving.
...to what the majority of comments to this article will be related, given the delicious quotes like this in the article:'
"I'm used to seeing so many acorns around and out in the field, it's something I just didn't believe. [...] But this is not just not a good year for oaks. It's a zero year. There's zero production. I've never seen anything like this before."
[...]
The absence of acorns could have something to do with the weather, Simmons thought. But he hoped it wasn't a climatic event. "Let's hope it's not something ghastly going on with the natural world."
[...]
"This is the first time I can remember in my lifetime not seeing any acorns drop in the fall and I'm 53. You have to wonder, is it global warming? Is it environmental? It makes you wonder what's going on."
Of course, these will be ignored on page two of the story:
Whatever the reason for no acorns, foresters and botanists are paying attention.
But they say they're not worried yet. "What's there to worry about?" said Alan Whittemire, a botanist at the U.S. Arboretum. "If you're a squirrel, it's a big worry. But it's no problem for the oak tree. They live a long time. They'll produce acorns again when they're ready to."
White oaks can live as long as 300 years. Faster-growing red oaks can reach 200. And it takes only one acorn to make a tree, he said, which in an urban area with little open space is often more than enough.
"This is probably just a low year, a biological event, and it'll go away," Zimmer said. "But if this were to continue another two, three, four years, you might have to ask yourself what's going on, whether it is an indication of something bigger."
[P]erhaps people are starting to wonder whether the so-called precautionary principle, which would have us accept enormous new taxes in the guise of an emissions trading scheme and curtail economic growth, is justified, based on what we actually know about climate.
One of Australia's leading enviro-sceptics, the geologist and University of Adelaide professor Ian Plimer, 62, says he has noticed audiences becoming more receptive to his message that climate change has always occurred and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
In a speech at the American Club in Sydney on Monday night for Quadrant magazine, titled Human-Induced Climate Change - A Lot Of Hot Air, Plimer debunked climate-change myths.
"Climates always change," he said. Our climate has changed in cycles over millions of years, as the orbit of the planet wobbles and our distance from the sun changes, for instance, or as the sun itself produces variable amounts of radiation. "All of this affects climate. It is impossible to stop climate change. Climates have always changed and they always will.
His two-hour presentation included more than 50 charts and graphs, as well as almost 40 pages of references. It is the basis of his new book, Heaven And Earth: The Missing Science Of Global Warming, to be published early next year.
Plimer said one of the charts, which plots atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperat
No problems with Facebook + Chrome for me. Works just like it does with Firefox.
Maybe it's something specific with your setup or something I never use in Facebook?
To me, gameplay is KING. I don't really care too much about anything else. It can be a puzzler, fps, adventure, flight sim, driving, music-based, or rpg. Or any other type. If it's not fun to play, it's not worth playing.
Bioshock is extremely repetitive, and the story is NOT all that interesting to me. I agree with Dutch Gun and I didn't finish it either. Not to say I hated it or anything. It was OK. But just.
I bought it because it was so highly reviewed. If this is among the best games of the year, the state of gaming is pretty poor right now.
Story with a good story AND fun? Planescape: Torment. THAT was a good game that deserved another treatment.
Ok, I know most people don't consider Guild Wars to be an MMORPG (not even the developers).
They sacrificed some of the aspects that make a game a proper MMO. In their place, they put some good, fun things. For instance, the game leads the player through a decent storyline.
Instead of a Travan drive, I would get an Iomega Ditto 3200 (or 2GB) and Ditto Max (or Max Professional). The combo would be compatible with far more Travan-style tapes than any Travan drive (QIC, Travan, and Ditto drives).
There's also the Iomega Jaz, Bernoulli, Rev, and Orb removable drives.
For Data8 format (8mm helical scan tapes), the combo of the Mammoth LT and Mammoth 2 will give you at least read access to the various capacity tapes.
There are soooo many older formats, it's nigh impossible to be able to read them all.
Have you looked into Chess960 (Fischer Random Chess)?
You basically randomize the back rank of pieces into one of 960 different configurations before starting. It makes opening books useless and the game becomes more about skill than memorization. Of course, you'll probably still get slaughtered by a GM, but that's more to do with skill than rote memorization.
Maybe because there are multiple 2D barcode formats out there competing for shelf space, almost all of are proprietary and licensed, and 1D barcodes are universal and free?
He was having pain in his left calf whenever he did light/moderate excercise. I don't mean running, I mean walking around the mall. He would cramp up after about 5 minutes, then when his muscle relaxed, he could continue walking for quite a while.
He went to at least three doctors and all three told him different things. 1) he just needed more exercise. 2) it was a torn or damaged muscle 3) he needed more potassium. This is in spite of the fact that he had the symptoms for three years before his death.
Actual answer: Severe atherosclerosis which lead to myocardiac infarction (heart attack), and death.
It was surprisingly easy to figure out from the symptoms and a few websites. I was shocked that none of them thought to mention the possibility, and that they all discounted each others diagnoses.

Fallout 3 is more than half-decent. It's downright decent.
But I agree with the general sentiment. RPG is the genre that's dying, not survival-horror.
There are already CUDA H.264 encoders and decoders. Don't know of any open source tools yet, though.

McDonald's has probably shipped a billion mice, too.

I thought about that. The thing is, the original question states this is primarily for older media. Magneto-optical is generally fairly recent.
Just don't do what this guy did!

Don't forget the 3.5" floppy drive!

Why don't they trademark it? They think they own it? Let them!
As an aside, the tag smash looks different in every browser I've loaded up. Opera, Firefox, and Chrome.
Chrome looks the best. Firefox the worst.

That's the push model. Embedded URLs are in 2D barcodes. 1D barcodes just list the manufacturer and product.
Android uses the pull model.
Mis-diagnosis killed my brother. Seriously.
