There's still a great deal of life left in traditional high speed rail. Maglev may or may not be the solution for the future but it's time has not yet come, except on the densest corridors. All rail needs big capital expenditure for maintenance and development. But paying all that money for quality rail services is a whole lot better than congested roads or the inexcusably high pollution that is produced by air travel.
As do I. I think its an excellent phone with one caveat; It's too quiet when it rings. I don't like musical ring tones so I stick with the phone's old telephone style ring ring tone. Otherwise its a great phone.
Make sure whatever you choose you get something compatible with Salling Software's excellent Clicker Application. It's a collection of scripts that allow you to use your bluetooth phone to control various Apps including iTunes and Keynote. Even use the phone as a pointing device, for which the T610's joystick is very useful.
But first LEDs will be used as a backlight source. They are vastly more efficient than the most incandescent sources. The best incandescent lights can achieve an output of 40 lumens/watt and these tend to be halogen lamps, too hot for your lcd panel. Discharge lamps run at 50-60 lumens per watt but the colder versions (fluorescent tubes) produce horrible light. The best white LEDs can produce over 120 lumen/watt; vastly more efficient.
Combined with an infinitely variable colour (within the gamut of the LED) they make an exceptionally good light source, not only for LCDs but also in architectural situations. Already a large number mobile phones and some PDAs use a white LEDs as a backlight source. I'm sure laptop LCDs will be next.
OLEDs provide the next evolution in display technology and hopefully the next jump in efficiency. A black pixel is a very inefficient thing on an LCD panel, think of all that wasted light absorbed into the pixel, much better to be able to switch off the light for that pixel.

Not least because it's adding a huge amount to Apple's bottom line. Its helped apple through a dodgy period whilst they were moving their users to a world class OS and struggling with a slipping processor roadmap. They need a new killer device soon though I predict that this xmas is going to be the peak in iPod sales so I home January's Macworld (or the next year at least) brings something twice as cool. I'm sure Apple won't disappoint. (Well I hope at the very least).
There are 64 seats in First class and 86 in Standard. There will have to be at least one access point per carriage. The amount of simultaneous access will be limited. My experience of the number of people with laptops and pda's, even on a busy morning train is probably about 20 at most. I don't see that as much of an issue. I'm sure their going to have to throttle people's bandwidth to stop anyone hogging the uplink.
Sure Ethernet is better but wifi is more convenient.
Anyway, less of the killjoy stuff, I use GNER all the time and GPRS coverage is patchy and expensive. So a good improvement.
about the demand for virgin sacrifices in front if statues of Mr McBride.
Seriously though, Id I'd received that letter I'd have laughed at it, kind of like I laughed at the plumber who tried to charge me 100 for an alleged adjustment to my shower when he fitted a new boiler. No details of the alleged IP infringements, nothing, but that seems to be their game plan and surely it can't stand up in court if their not prepared to disclose what the problem is.
and it appears to be not perfect. It wants me to install the XFree86 package, whatever I try to install. I'd rather it didn't. I'm very happy with Apple's X11 and the system-xfree86 package that represents it. Severeral things were broken by the update to panther, or rather the parallel fink update, things were fine till I started fiddling. I may wait a while before fiddling again, let fink and panther, or rather fink and gcc3.3. To settle down.
(PS I'd normally take my whines elsewhere but I can't seem to post on the fink-general list at the moment)
Well Apple sells more BSD based systems than anyone else. Plus relations with Microsoft have been getting more frosty over the last while and M$ have been implicated in the SCO debacle.
Any chance of anyone getting one of these things up before a judge soon, so it can be thrown out.
Now to get on with the research. It's a credit to them that this computer got from the drawing board to fruition in the tiny amount of time that it did. It's raised the bar for price/performance in the research computing world and hopefully many less wealthy institutions (I'm looking at UK universities especially here).
At the end of the day its about the research they put into it and the results they get out of it.
Where someone was acquitted for hacking the Port of Houston using the defence that his computer was infected by a Trojan that was used as a springboard. Information here, I feel I have to apologise for the idiot journalist who wrote this; 'Trojanism - computer language for an outside takeover of his PC'
but in the unlikely event that this FUD succeeds can't everyone move over onto BSD or Darwin or some other kernel, or am I missing something. I realise that this is hardly a trivial matter but nonetheless its hardly going to stop Free/Open Software developing, only delay it's inevitable acceptance as part of the mainstream of computing.
Not that slashdot should be a purely GNU/Linux preserve. There are better place to ask this question though; Mac OS X Hints Forums and Mac Fixit Forums spring to mind.
is that the Root account is disabled by default and you are encouraged to keep it that way. I can't shed much light on your problem except to say that Panther moving to LDAP is a good thing from the point of view of admin, maybe that is the way to go.
To build better UIs has got to be a good thing. OSS falls down because of the awful UIs some very good programmes have got and this is partly due to the toolkits, widgets, Window Managers and Windowing systems that are available. I wish the best of luck to this project.
apart from the recording and music store ones, but it is still the smallest HD player and still the best looking and it has the best interface (not that I have tried them all). And besides I've got one and there's no way that you're going to persuade me that my 299 was poorly spent.
For Apple at least is that apparently both Pepsi and McDonald's are to be paying full price for the songs. Now I don't fully believe this, I can't believe that these corps won't cut a deal because of the huge co-marketing potential and I'd expect both these two companies to play hardball at the negotiating table. However, if it is true, assuming that only 20% of the songs are redeemed, that's an awful lot of 99 for apple, even if their cut is pretty small.
Maybe this will solve the problem with tcsh gobbling up loads of CPU cycles. I doubt it though, apple would have probably mentioned it directly.
The problem with Mail detailed above could be something else entirely.
There are plenty of other good reasons to reduce emissions, not least reducing consumption of precious and dwindling fossil resources. Oil is great, really great for making things from and we insist on burning it to get around and to heat ourselves. It doesn't grow on trees you know whereas trees, well, do.

The Swiss have been proposing such a system since the early 90s. Swissmetro hope to have a train in service by 2020. I doubt it though.

I'll try and dig out the article in the IEE's journal where I got these figures.

I'll agree that iPod sales have probably led to very few Mac sales but it helps keep Apple in business for my 3 yearly fix of powerbook.
Did I mention they were cool?

Unfortunately that didn't work, I had installed X11 SDK when I installed panther but I ran the installer again bu to no avail.
Anyway, here's not the place for whining and fink is an excellent project and should be applauded for all it's great work.

Don't even get me started on commercial aviation.
They take off and land like the ships in old scifi and especially liek the ship in Tintin Destination Moon. image
