Werner Von Braun is not really the kind of person that most people want to be associated with. He is well known for his connections to extreme right-wing groups. Apparently he designed and built some of the first missiles for an extreme right-wing organization called the Nazis. Hundreds of people in London lost their lives due to this mans involvement in the Nazi military machine.
So why did the US treat him so well ? Is the USA a Nazi state ?
Now the only problem is how to charge your Bluetooth headset up?:o)
My Motorola HT820 bluetooth headphones charge through a mini/micro usb port. Looks like they're no longer available (in the UK) but the S9 is a newer version.
Do you know how many different charging and power devices use that style connector ? Putting out 12 or 24v in some cases. Plug 12v in your phone and watch that lithium fly ! At least USB has a spec.
For my own part, I have two impressions of the current media situation as regarding bitorrent. Firstly, it isn't really that long ago that the artists, originally jesters, rode around in horse drawn wagons from town to town flogging themselves for a living. Then recordings were invented and suddenly they had it relatively easy. Now the internet has arrived the pendulum has swung back in the other direction. Recordings are worth less in real terms because they are not rare or controllable. Everybody with a pc can record and distribute with ease. Should we legislate in favour of the buggy whip manufacturer ?
Secondly, the majority of the western (and probably the eastern) public seem to get their kicks from watching TV, listening to music, watching movies all in the comfort of their own home. They have been trained to consume this stuff, mostly to the detriment of local society. In the meantime, a bunch of "celebrities" are influencing the minds of every new generation. The tv industry has been a wet dream for advertisers, governments and public speakers for over 60 years. All those groups have an interest in influencing your behaviour in favour of their product, so when they see control being wrested from them they naturally fight back.
Ironically, when you consider the fact that we have been trained to be good consumers and capitalists, surely the public is 'making daddy proud' by getting pretty much the same quality of goods, for the lowest price possible ! Ha !
It's amazing how my comment from at least 4 hours ago isn't visible at +2 minimum. On 64 bit, linux beats windows 2 to 1. Assholes. And my remaining 2 mod points (2 days old) have disappeared...
Sunspider (total only - lower is better) win 32 bit = 2936.4ms, win 64 bit = 3602.0ms, linux 64 bit = 3383.6ms
V8 (total only - higher is better) win 32 bit = 201, win 64 bit = 156, linux 64 bit = 157
Dromaeo (total only - higher is better) win 32 bit = 43.41runs/s, win 64 bit = 35.78runs/s, linux 64 bit = 30.69runs/s
So while the totals are slightly misleading, FF under linux beats FF under windows in 2 out of 3 tests. (if you compare non optimised versions rather than cherry picking) Dual Xeon Quad 2.33GHz, 12 GB RAM, 250 GB drives Fedora 9 x86-64 Win XP pro 64 All copies of FF from Mozilla, not distro.
Are you illiterate or a troll? when she gets passed the age when its 'safe' to get chicken pox I will have her vaccinate unless she gets them and along with it a life long immunity..
When she gets passed(sic) the age when it's "safe" to get chicken pox, you can't use the vaccine because it IS chicken pox !
Anyway it's probably chicken-egg syndrome. You can't sell virus scanners for Linux (yet), so why advertise them.
Why sell them ? AVG free runs on linux, as does Avast, Fprot, Clam, and many others. Ok, they only scan mail AFAIK, but what else do you need. You can pay for updates with CLAM and Fprot IIRC.
You don't read so well, do you? NTFS on Linux is slow.
NO it isn't. I spend more time waiting for windows to draw the explorer window contents than I ever wait for linux to read the drive. Transfers are probably faster through linux too, but I haven't measured it.
I'm dual booting XP Pro 64 and Fedora 9 x86-64.
Uh, what I'm saying is that if I boot from an SD card, I can't take it out and pop my digital camera's card into the slot.
Err, quite a few live distros (F10, DSL, Ubuntu, etc) can copy themselves over and run completely from RAM so, Yes you can take the card out. Besides which, surely you could use a USB card reader.
Well, there will have to be some major breakthroughs in physics for that to happen. Electromagnetics won't help much, because a lot of that junk is non-ferrous.
I was registered with a site that I didn't really care about, so I used a 5 char password. What I didn't expect was for every email they sent me to contain my username and the password as asterisks with the last 3 chars VISIBLE. When I complained, they said their customers find it useful. At least they should enforce 12 chars FFS. Idiots. The asterisks are equivalent in number to the rest of the password too.
RBS Worldpay is the Royal Bank of Scotlands Worldpay cheapo net transactions processor. The processor is shit (and expensive), and RBS are basically owned by the UK govt. after the bailout. So if you use Worldpay on your website, I would get shot of it sharpish. They are the kind of outfit that will have multiple holes in their security. (I used to use their payment processor back in 2002.)
The creation and support of the state of Israel: when Israel was created in 1947 it was done with no regard or consultation of the indigineous population of the region.
Not true. The indigenous population were consulted and were quite happy to talk about creating the state of Israel. Unfortunately, for all the discussion that went on, the west simply walked away from the problems caused by each Arab leader wanting their own slice of the pie. The infighting in the Arab league allowed Israel to consolidate and essentially deprive the real Palestinians of any hope of a national state. More reading here.

You need to get some lotion for that neck of yours.
Or in your case, fuck freedom unless it's YOUR freedom we're talking about.
Asshole.
If HTC were to release a version of the Touch Pro2 running android, it would make it all worth while. I might even upgrade from my Trinity.

As does my P3600. In fact I use a motorola 12v car charger too.
Excellent post.

Ha !
Yes I realise this phone has the panels on the back, but which way up would you leave if it had solar panels ...
Yeah, like all those solar powered calculators with the solar panel ON THE FRONT !
Nothing at all to do with javascript performance ! Nothing is displayed while the tests are running. Run the tests FFS !

Your first statement seems somehow introspective.
The German bit didn't get dropped. They are two separate diseases. German Measles is properly called Rubella. Regular Measles.
HTC. My Trinity is a PDA first, and a phone second. Not everybody's moving completely to smartphones.

Or indeed, started it.
