As a nursing student, I mark up my textbooks a lot. I put lecture notes next to the diagrams, I highlight, I draw arrows, I add to the diagrams. I do the practice problems. I circle things.
The Iliad has a stylus-input screen so you can do just that.
I'd rather have something with a full-sheet size screen. As in, I can stick a printed copy of the same US Letter sized document next to it and they are exactly the same size. I read more documents as PDFs and I don't want a reader that claims to be able to display a full sheet and then in small print says it scales the page to 50% actual size to make it fit.
It's my understanding that anyone who has "object code" is also entitled to "source code."
This means the owners of the voting machines have standing to sue. If the machines are leased, depending on how the courts determine what distribution means when a lease is involved, the local governments may or may not have standing.
The government is by the People, the machines paid for by the taxpayers. Doesn't that mean we all have the right to sue?:3
They probably aren't as screwed as you think if their analog is watchable. The stations currently are mostly broadcasting digital at a tenth of the power they are licensed for to avoid interfering with the analog signals. Once the switchover occurs, they are suppose to go up to 100%.
Wasn't that one of the things they did with this trial? I mean, if the idea is to test what happens when this actually does go down next February, wouldn't that necessitate cutting off the analog feed and turning up the digital broadcast to how it's going to be after the switchover?
Seems they either did boost the digital broadcast to full power, and the claims of half the people in these comments about DTV being useless are true, or they didn't and this test was half-baked and a waste of time.
Patents, dude. That's the reason they're around: so you can tell people how you did it, and still be the only one to do it.
Telling how you did it and then defending your patents by taking violators to court is costly and time-consuming. Keeping your mouth shut and forcing your competitors to take apart your product to even begin to comprehend how you did it is much cheaper.
And then even when they do start to copy you after that, at the very least you got a big market lead time over them you wouldn't have otherwise.
This might be explained in TFA but I don't have time to Bugmenot the NYTimes right now.
Or even attempt to click the link apparently, since it opens right up to the article. The NYTimes hasnt required a login for almost an entire year now.
Funny enough, I checked out the example just to see the advertising on the paper. We all know enough about the moon landing I really don't need to see a 1969 paper of the info. I wanted to see 1) How big the headline is (you notice that you don't see the old 200+pt size headlines on papers now that we used to see for things like wars ending, man on the moon, ect), and 2) Getting a kick out of the old school graphic design and ads in the paper. I was zoomed in reading the movie listing on the opposite page (I guess the back) from the moon-landing story. I didn't see any prices for admission (something to raise my ire at the current $7 "matinee") but I didn't see any evidence they had removed it either.
Wouldn't leaving ReiserFS because it will supposedly become unsupported at some point in the future become self-fulfilling?
After all, who is going to fix it if nobody uses it? And like everything else, it will need to be fixed at some point.
You are correct. However if no one is actively developing ReiserFS anymore, it's a forgone conclusion the file system will die? Other systems will move of to meet and exceed at what Reiser does do well. This user doesn't want to be one of the people posting on support mailing lists in a few years. No one wants to be the one left holding the check after lunch is over.
Unfortunately, it has just about everyone connected to technology talking about Microsoft in close proximity to the letters "WTF".
No, it's even worse than that. Microsoft is a company known for being able to market things that are badly made and make lots of money off them, and they just proved they forgot how to make a successful commercial.
What happens to a company that can't do anything right besides sell itself when they start failing at that too?
When the citizens don't throw out the leaders who make these decisions, they are giving up. A leader can only be a leader as long as there are people willing to follow him.
And here I thought we had this thing called a "nation" which embodied some elements of teamwork and shared pain/shared gain. Certainly when elements of our society decide it is time for a war they emphasize something they call "sacrifice" and "service".
This notion of "shared responsibility" only seems to come up when there's a disaster like this. Otherwise America has always been a land of "everyone for themselves", as the pattern of one person's gain causing another's pain continues.

By "elements" you mean the people in power, whose children are (coincidentally) kept out of the "sacrifice" part of the equation?
It's about time something like this happened and one of the companies took a major financial hit as a consequence. Perhaps then we'll move back towards supplying hardware and drivers that actually, you know, work.
The easiest way to do that is to go back to electronics that don't have rewritable BIOS or other operating software. If you don't make it right to begin with -- ho boy, gotta do a recall or settle a class-action lawsuit.
Now that everything can be fixed later, there's no reason to spend market lead time or pay for pre-release testing. Let the consumer do it for you for free.
So say you have Comcast's triple-play or some VOIP service that rides out of your house on your Comcast connection.
If they cut off 911 they had better be prepared for some nice lawsuits.
If you're using a third-party VoIP line and Comcast cuts off your service, it's not their fault if this cuts you off from phone. Comcast is only selling you data service, they have no legal requirements to keep you in 911 access. Your choice to make a VoIP line your sole phone line is your own.
In fact, even if your VoIP is provided by Comcast they don't have to keep your phone on. You'll be surprised what is leaglly defined as a phone line vs. what people think is a phone line. I work for a cableco, and when we shut people off for non-pay the VoIP service gets shut off too. The other phone service we provide that is digital but not VoIP gets left on.
Maybe that's how the "prediction" part works. They'll overlay the current electrical power grid and status over maps showing no development to account for the power usage displayed.

Lesson for next time: Use a phone with automatic blogging so the photos are off the phone and on the Net before they can stop you.
It's 1.21 Gigawatts. Boo.
You could do that just as easily by not giving your work phone cell phone number to friends.

Let's build them as bipedals with a lightweight frame, like a bird. And on the end of each foot will be an eight inch curved steel claw.

How about the ability to flag search results as link farms, ect. Then have Google check them and chuck them if it's the case.

How exactly does one "hand over" an electronic record that can be freely copied?
What are they going to do, tell all his contacts to no longer talk to him if he calls?
Maybe that's how the "prediction" part works. They'll overlay the current electrical power grid and status over maps showing no development to account for the power usage displayed.
Wonder what they'd do if someone came in with their head wrapped in bandages.
