because you can maximise any app you want? or dare i say it, write your own and not vet it via the Applestore.
P.S. Know of a way to search the appstore without an apple device or iTunes? I might be interested in the iPad if i knew it had apps that i "need" but the lack of flash is killing it for me.
Let me known when i can actually use that bandwidth and not get yelled at. Ohh and a point to point link would nicer, more like DSL. My qwest DSL line has been able to have fairly heavy traffic on it for a year and a half now and noone has said a thing. (heavy traffic == round 10GB down a day, it could be more, netflix streaming for 12 hours, at 3-4Mbps, some torrents, sources for gentoo, a few torrents of BBC coverage of things interesting, plus two peoples worth of internet browsing).
So it would assist the sway bars then. Usually they pull the inside wheel up a bit to keep the car flatter though the turn. From the pictures at the link in http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1548596&cid=31123502 it is a top like system, but rather small and i can only assume very very high speed. This seems to be linked electricly to the front wheels only(odd not seeing 4wd after all the rally) The same sort of system would work with ultra capacitors but from what i understand those are not allowed at LeMans. I would think that this would also help keep the car from nosing into breaking as much, and may pose a problem for those undulations that always seem to catch the prototypes out.
based on previous reports of things this group has done, i would bet against the bot net. I'm betting someone posted an app to "help in AU", and people downloaded installed and ran the app, knowing full well that it would attempt to load a page as many times a second as it could.
449 will buy me a new HP laptop with 2x the power of this thing, granted it's 3-5x as heavy but who cares. 449 will build me a rather nice desktop. And i'd love to be able to pay apple $100 more to get the stupid thing to run OSX. I'll be waiting to see if someone can get a real linux distro to dual boot on it, then i might buy one, and make sure the person at the Apple store nows exactly what i'm doing with it.
HMM? sloppy focus with autoraise solves this for me. Doesn't your window manager let you set that up? I'm betting you are on windows, in which case the answer is no it doesn't(without 3rd party addons).
but it seems to need Android bloat, see the part with the linux/Nokia devs saying that the current systems in place would almos work, but would require a bit of minor tweaking to work for google. Google goes out and makes changes all over the place.
The code was never in "Mainline" it was in "staging" which is in part of the mainline, but a part with different rules about what stays and what goes. Google steps up and fixes things then the code should be bale to go back into mainline or staging. Please read GHK's posts about what staging is.
i found orpie http://pessimization.com/software/orpie/ to be very useful during intro to AC circuits back at university. it handles input in both polar and rectangular notation and will output the answer in either. a fast RPN calculator. The only thing i haven't found is a calculator to do symbolic algebra, as in solve things in terms of sqrt(2)'s and such for me.
most of the non legal way you can modify a car/truck(and still have it be a "car"/"truck" not a bomb) just make it not street legal. A lot of states in the USA have an "off road" permit with very very lax standards, but just because it has a ORV sticker on it doesn't mean you get to drive it on the roads. Also you can probably drive what ever you want in your backyard, at least outside of the city.
I do agree with you. If i paid you money and did not sign an agreement along with your represenitive I bought it, not rented/leased/licesened it. Therefore it's mine, and I can do WTF i want with it for my own use(i would even argue that I can for free make unlimited exact copies, or let people make their own copies. Yes i would do this with my car if it were cheep and accessible enough.)
lol it hasn't even made it up to -12C for about week here. it's -15C right now here. The high is -10C for today. just another day in January here. For the record we do have some low temp "Salts" here. They are a deicing chemical that is UV reactant. A short google doesn't turn up anything but let me assure you that the stuff works just fine at -20 to -30C as long as it's sunny out.
downloading != "lost sales", the person doing the downloading may just never have listened if it wasn't available for free, or they may discover a band they like and buy all of the albums.
being honest is paying what i feel the music is worth, since $15 for an album is too much i haven't bought an album in 4+ years(i may have bought one or 2 at a concert in that time) I have not downloaded music in that time either. Good thing http://www.pandora.com/ and the radio exist, otherwise i'd be listening to the same music i had from 10 years ago.
I feel the MacOSX + some sort of "iPad" app would be just what this should be. Let me get full access if i want it. Bury it behind some scary message that should keep the "average users" from using anything else, but let me use it as a remote dumb terminal for my desktop. Extra points if the work something like that right into OSX. Let me use this standalone or "connect" to a mac and simply use it as the display/input device.
The ability to ask my desktop to do heavy lifting for me via SSH+X forwarding, the ability to play a large range of media formats(VLC), the ability to consume things like hulu/netflix/pandora from the comfort of my comfy chair, playing pandora/lastFM in the background while surfing other pages, or reading an iBook, or pandora + recipe app + cooking. Yes the lack of multitasking kills it as a computing device for me. $500 better get me a slightly underpowered but in no way crippled real computer. I can get a convertible touchscreen netbook that will do the above list for around the 500-700 mark. The HP slate looks good for it as well. Tack on a 150-200 dollar "fee" to get a full OSX install and i'd probably still pay for this thing.
Things my desktop is likely to be doing all at once. Ripping a DvD, encoding the previous dvd(h264 high profile level 4.1, AAC 5.1 and 2.0 audio at 256Kbps per track) playing World of warcraft, and playing music, streaming a video to my PS3 via mediatomb. That's with ignoring running an emerge as well, i usually am not playing WoW while doing an emerge, but some times.
I think most people would like to listen to music and read a "iBook" at the same time. That seems like a common activity to do with a book. What was wrong with giving us unrestricted OSX, with it set by default to "iPad interface" and a button deep in the advanced menus, to give back the normal interface? Give it a big scary message that appstore apps don't work in the normal interface and thats probably enough to keep most people in the iPad interface.
SO then google should just start buying up many many copies of the books and putting them online and letting them only be viewable by X people at the same time? Sounds like a plan.
physical books are sure, but what about the bitstream on that CDROM? For example look at the World of Warcraft install CDs, no DRM, no fancy "must have disk in cdrom to play" fuck, just download the game from us if you want over the next 6 days. Yes i realise that in order to play you need to be paying and have an active account, but still.

just to let you know the iPad is running darwin, you know the OS behind MacOSX, and if i remeber rightly the same windowing toolkit as OSX.
Wake me up when i can hold one myself, let alone when i can run my own software on it.

or you know skip ROT26, and use either my "Quad ROT-13" cypher(see sig) or ROT-56 or ROT-112.

GP said manual shifter, no slushbox. Personaly i think the "slushbox" was the worst thing to happen to cars yet.

GP needed a tag I could see people thinking like that.

Gentoo should also support ARM.
but was here really a huge pile of snow? or was it more like a thin layer of ice? thin layer of ice + careful attentive driving == no issues.

see http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091119/1634117011.shtml for a list of some other people you have never heard of making money by giving their music away.

which is based on??
My bet, a ARM Cortex A9!
