I was referring to the "BATTERIES EXPLODE" paranoia. What you get from purposely shorting a high capacity battery. What your talking about is a defective battery that will overheat expand and off gas or POOF as I called it. Scary if its in your lap but about as dangerous as lighting a pack of sparklers.
That works out to a bit over 3 "battery" fires per year (not just laptops but all batteries) out of more than 10 million flights in the us alone, That takes it down to statistical anomaly area. and the number of injuries? None?..two? basically minor burns for the person holding the device at the time. Batteries don't just explode you have too short them with a solid piece of copper to get those kinds of reaction (don't bother sending links to people purposely shorting RC batteries that would never happen in a consumer electronic device) at best they go poof. Scary as shit if it happens in your lap but Hot coffee is probably a bigger threat to air safety.
You only have to work two days to qualify for unemployment. You can work full time for over a year and not qualify. You can be disqualified for making over $4500 in three months. Thats 8.65/hr 40 hr/week These are all true facts.
absolutely not....You can be employed(read underemployed) and collect unemployment your benefits are just reduced. If she was getting the income from a traditional job she would have had no problem. But if someone gives you $20 a week to Walk there dog your screwed.
Unemployment is administered by the states but is a federal program. Rules are the same everywhere. The rules however are really really screwed up. the system can't handle non traditional income. If she was working 4 hours a week at a deli making that money there would have been no problem. She would recieve her benefits minus her income.
This may be closer to the truth then you think. Verizion has a long history of not allowing certain functions on phones. This is why nobody wants a used Verizon phone because so much is disabled. This would allow Apple to still make one iPhone with one OS and one firmware but allow Verizion to place its own mandated limits on the ones used on its networks. Thus allowing Verizon to be known as the evil network and AT&T the freedom loving patriot ( quite a switch)
the point is Apple's method does not cripple the firmware the phone is completely open and fully functional except for the carrier that places limits. Take the phone to a better carrier Bam you have everything working.
Apple is refusing to cripple its phone for the carriers like most other manufacturers. This method is for signing the config file...by allowing the carrier to securely set the network settings Apple sells an phone uncrippled that only lacks the features not approved by the carrier when being used by that carrier (new carrrier = limits are gone) unlike if you get any other manufacturers Verizon phone that is crippled in firmware (take those to a new carrier stuff still doesn't work).
damn Apple for making a secure phone. NOte - if you read the patent its clear its for Apple's signing of the carriers config file that prevents hackers form using fake files to access network resources they didn't pay for that would steal bandwidth and functionality from others. ie tethering This is apart of the 3.1 OS and hasen't killed an one yet
Ummm who the hell is going to buy a $70,000 economy car? Of course these companies are starting with sports cars the initial technologies are so expensive there is no way to include them in anything else.
.
sure lets all live in tents off the grid.... shut up and go back to writing horribly stupid endings to great sci-fi series.
Apple retail employees already make more than most other retail employes This wont boost Apple pay but will be an impossible burden for MS stores to deal with...I just hope there is a good severance package these stores as viable as MS BOB was.

Tonight were gonna party like its 2219?
we don't need any, this is SOP for unemployment. many of us have had similar experiences. Its just the way the law is written.

They replaced it with an atom powered net-top -- twice the power
Apple implemented this in OS 3.1 and the earth still rotates around its axis.

All cell makers have provisioning, it is nothing new,
Apple is not patenting provisioning just their method of securing it by signing the config file.

what planet do you live on. only a couple of countries even offer an unsubsidized iPhone and almost all iPhones sold are subsidized.
PS tethering works just fine so shut up

Autodesk's site has a tab to PURCHASE the product but not one for licensing. hmmm thats odd !!
Apparently the Judge was in his dorm room stoned when they discussed the fifth amendment.
hmmm wheel motors ........

thats like leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers to play for the Detroit Lions (with all due respect to Mr Foote)
Really like I'm going to leave the most successful retailer in the country to join some faltering companies crazy retail experiment.
Funny as a mac user I get thousands of dollars worth of development software for free.
by the way.... three monitor , 10Gb ram 4Tb storage and TWO quad core processors an worth every penny.
unfortunately they're paying for sales expertise (and inside information) and not Windows expertise.
lets face it even if your a MS fan you must admit Ballmers sales culture is killing the company.
Actually its the opposite here Apple retail employees make more than most. simplest position easily make twice that of a best buy employee.
