why would i go to this mechanic person? the last 8 years i bought a new toyota or honda an average of once every 2 years and the only thing i've done was change the oil and rotate the tires at the dealership.
You're not really getting a good evaluation of a vehicle's reliability if you always replace it before the warranty even runs out.
Your understanding is not correct. Had Lightsquared sought to use the satellite-only restricted band they bought for a satellite-based system, they would have been fine. Instead, they bought use of a satellite-only restricted band (which was cheap, because it's not useable for terrestrial-based transmitters, so nobody else really wanted it) and wanted to use it for a terrestrial-based system.
ALL RF transmissions affect nearby bands, not just those the transmitter is intended to use. While it's trivial for a system like GPS (which is designed to receive very weak signals from distant satellites) to filter out very weak signals on adjacent bands, it's extremely difficult (if not impossible) for such a system to filter out the strong signals from nearby transmitters on adjacent bands which are completely overwhelming the weak signals it's trying to detect.
This is WHY the bands adjacent to GPS are restricted to satellite-based transmitters.
The laws of physics and their own failure to understand them is what screwed Lightsquared.
Truecrypt hidden volumes are too inconvenient for actual use on drives that see day-to-day use. You need to put in two passwords every time you mount, and you run the risk of the OS attempting to write to the space used by the hidden volume and having an error reported by the truecrypt driver
Solution: Stop using "poorly-written" apps. Get rid of them. Stop giving them ad revenue, if it's ad-supported. Insist on a refund if you paid for it. Try the free version first, if there is one.
Do you blame Microsoft or Amazon when you buy what turns out to be a crappy EA game for your Windows computer via Amazon.com?
So, all that it really says is that at least one Neanderthal engaged in bestiality.
Um, no. At least one non-human would need to be involved for that, so two members of the genus Homo would not qualify, and certainly not two members of the same species, even if they are different subspecies.
The term "risk" is generally considered to include not only severity of an incident but also it's probability. In the case of an on-orbit collision, while the severity of an impact can be extremely high, the probability of it actually occurring is vanishingly low.
Of course, there's no reason to take chances with life-or-death situations, so risk-management policies in place require the crew to take shelter when objects do come near the station.
Certainly the featured bomb is not a fully-working model. It'll be a reproduction with inert material standing in for the U-235, no gunpowder, and an inert fuze.
That seems a bit overkill. Couldn't he at least use two coconut halves for the U-235, a little bit of gunpower and a real fuse? Then at least you'd get a bang and a "clop!" when you set it off.
How many swallows would it take to transport and deploy such a weapon?
It may be like the NookColor which uses a modified microUSB plug for power. You can charge the NC slowly (about 8 hours from dead to full) from a standard USB port and cable at 500mA (all the USB standard allows) OR you can charge the NC fast (in 2 hours) with a proprietary cable that plugs into the microUSB port and draws 1.9A from a wall-wart.

Heard of a few Ford trucks going over 100k without oil changes. Dumb asses.
If no damage occurred to the engine, who's the dumb ass?
If they can sing, the symbol is "$$$"...>
ALVIN!!!!!!!!!!!

That wouldn't leave much of Delaware.

THANK you.
I was wondering why TFA had linked a map of central Africa...
Well, in their defense, "remove power first and apply power last" ARE kind of standard procedure for any electronics removal & replacement procedure.
I use a smart card. And I seem to have lost it.
Oh, I think I found it! Is it this bubbling mass of melted plastic in the microwave?

You're using them wrong.
Which has nothing to do with what I said.
Put the blame where it belongs.

Surely, credible psychics would have notified NASA about the crew discovering aliens prior to the launch.
Can you print that a little bigger?
There is no Episode I. It's just IV, V, and VI. Period.
And really, I'd prefer just IV, V and the Tatooine portion of VI.
Hey, if they're going to store a case right out in plane site, what do you expect?

The obvious solution is for everyone to learn Chinese.

Now that Gearbox has finally put this beast to rest, I wonder what they could do with the license starting from scratch?
Expect "Duke Nukem: Redemption" in time for the 2031 holiday season.
Anyone who thinks an iAnything has a screen that is "very viewable in direct sunlight" has never used an OLPC or other device with PixelQi technology.
Are you suggesting that Martians living on Saturn may be practicing Hindu?

It was never unprofitable.
ARM is the market referred to in this story, not x86.
I don't expect people to RTFA or even RTFS, but is it too much to ask for people to at least RTFHL?
