Pretty soon, we'll be buying phones with data plans and the voice plan will be optional (if needed at all).
I wasn't aware it was possible to get a data plan w/o a voice plan, until I learned that a guy on a forum I use, has it.
He is deaf, so he has no use for the voice, but uses texting extensively with his wife.
The feature I've always wanted from a GPS is the ability to go to google maps on my computer, come up with a route on there, and then send it to the device. This looks like it could easily offer that ability but curiously it's not mentioned in any of the blurbs that I've seen. Anyone know if it's supported?
I've been doing this for a long time.
The "device" is my printer.
But that probably wasn't the answer you wanted.
Every now and then though they'll get pressured to comply, resulting in the panties staying on and the bouncers literally having to carry the girls on their shoulders from stage to stage so that the girl never touches the floor...
I used to work in a building a mile long.
Go to Google maps and plug in: Ft Worth NAS, Texas
To the West of the runway, (and parallel to it), is an assembly building operated by Lockheed.
It is one mile from end to end.
Seriously, that is the name of a business in my town: http://makeitsew.biz/misabout.html
It is run by a couple ex-musicians who are also Star Trek fans.
These overlords must be the ones that have taken over my back yard. Fire, bleach, anti-freeze, roto-tiller, sll no affect. These overlords will rule us all
Have you tried playing Slim Whitman songs to them?
I can't believe MS finally (almost) admitted they made a mistake. It may have taken almost as long, in technological terms, as it took the Catholic Church to admit it's mistakes with Galileo, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
I can't believe you would compare MS to the Catholic Church!
One is a marketing company, and the other is a religion...oh wait...nevermind.:-(
I suspect a higher court would rule that GPS devices are more common in civilian use than thermal imaging, and that when driving your car in public you have no reasonable expectation that your movement will be unobserved, and so rule that this court got it right, there is no Fourth Amendment violation.
First, GPS *receivers* are common in civilian use. This is not just a receiver, but a *transmitter* that sends out the GPS coordinates of it's onboard receiver. How common are those?
Second, cars can drive onto private property. Right now my car is on private property, (in the garage). So am I to understand these devices detect when they are on private property, and stop transmitting until they are back on public property?
I hate to think about it, but a Cisco Sun merger might make sense. At least at first glance.
Absolutely! Cisco is now starting to produce server blades, but how seriously will they be taken by corporate people looking to make server purchases? I even had a Cisco sales rep tell me they had been told *not* to market them as "servers"! (Apparently Cisco is worried about alienating the big competitors who also buy a lot of network gear).
Now think what would happen if Cisco bought Sun: Instant market share and customer base, and Cisco would be the *only* vendor who could fully populate a data center with *one* sales order and fully support it with *one* service contract!
I once worked for a large Fortune 500 company, in a division whose clueless manager dictated that all servers and workstations had to have a "standard" naming scheme of the form "xx###", where "xx" was two letters representing the department, and "###" were three randomly assigned numbers. Of course it was impossible to remember the names of the servers in our own department, and I had to maintain a functional listings to reference every time I needed to work on one.
However, I had no problem remembering the names of the NIS servers in a nearby department run by a different manager: Barbie and Ken, (of course Barbie was the master, and Ken was the slave). I remember this from 10 years ago, but I can't even remember the two-letter prefix from my own department.
Yes, when Internet Explorer 8 is released, Microsoft will finally have implemented decent support for CSS 2, a specification published over a decade ago. I hope everybody here on Slashdot will join me in welcoming Microsoft to 1998. Truly, they deserve all the credit they are going to get for being so ahead of the curve. Keep innovating, Microsoft! Don't let those slow-coaches at the W3C hold you back!
And with the release they're gonna party like it's 1999!
I wouldn't want to be around when one of these that has done 20,000 miles of potholes, salt, grit and all the other things you drive through on the road that mess up vehicles takes to the air because god knows what it would do to a light airframe over 10 or 20 years. Sure , you're supposed to do maintenance - but that doesn't prevent loads of cars breaking down at the side of the road due to lack of it. If people drive this like a car (even if they're qualified pilots) they may start to treat it like a car rather than like an aircraft and skip on servicing. The rest you can guess.
Do some homework. In order to be sold to the public, it must be certificated as an *aircraft*. Aircraft must undergo extensive annual inspections performed by certified aircraft mechanics. These inspections are orders of magnitude more thorough than any auto inspection. And if the aircraft is used for commercial purposes, it must go through inspections every 100 hours of use.
I really doubt all of the Vietnam government's computers are servers. Also, Open Source does not necessarily mean Linux. (not that BSD is a bad alternative)
Whoa! Someone who actually *read* the article.
If I had mod points today, I'd mod you up.
BTW, are you new here?
Agreed... If i'm not mistaken
the 6500 NAM and NAM2 blades run linux.
and the older Cisco Content Manager caching engines ran linux (I rooted one).
So.... You're right about the compliance part.
And the WAAS/WAE devices, (descendents of the CCM), and the Wireless LAN Controllers are all running Linux.

That sounds like nice work when you can find it.

Well, since you brought it up... I must argue the newspaper isn't dead, it's just resting.

I would blame the morons who put a known buggy, virus-prone piece of trash OS into critical medical equipment.

That feature will be in the next rev of Google Streetview.

Anyone else need to read that twice to read it correctly?

It is rather like skydiving; Going down *once* is easy. The trick is in being able to go back up and do it again.

I can't believe the article doesn't mention that the FAA's Capstone project deployed ADS-B in Alaska years ago.
