I know the laser printer designed failure is true the fuser was designed so after a certain amount of use it would stay on overheat and kill the printer.
A friend had a printer with this feature and there was a reset on the printer to stop this happening , he got to find out from a service engineer. Unfortunately I can't remember which printer it was on.
must have been in the mid 90's when he told me about it. Funny thing is I can't find anything about it on google or even snopes. Anyone find any links
.'not quite for it to be random like a coin toss it would have to be the same track several times with the identification being wrong about half the time.
Visually with digital tv you will often see the screen go blocky on fast paced movement such as in a football match, but a drama being slower paced would not have the visible artefacts at the same bitrate .
so really it is what you are listening to or watching which determines if you will notice the difference. if the bitrate is sufficient then you should not see / hear a difference.
It is one of the really annoying things about bskyb is that often their broadcasts are far too compressed. Especially on pay per view. If you are paying to see premium content it should be encoded at a premium quality.
If you want to call your product java then it needs to be able to run java applications which dalvik doesn't do becouse it isn't java.
There are similar if not identical concepts so a lot of what you are familiar with coding wise is going to work the same way in dalvik much like c and c++ or driving a diesel car instead of a petrol or an electric car or even windows linux or osx.
Even java is not unique in its reuse of concepts from c and c++
You see the difference between microsoft's version of java and sun java was in answer to the question can I run this java program using either version? The answer was maybe or if it was developed to run in sun java it would but if it used microsoft extensions it wouldn't.
There is no confusion with dalvik and java you cannot run a dalvik apk on a java run time. and you can't run a java app on dalvik.
the only thing that is similar is the source code and that a programmer that knows how to write in java will be feeling comfortable writing for dalvik in short order.
The problem with java on mobile platforms was it wasn't really universal. There were some phones where java was available and others where it was not. pretty much you had to develop for a particular handset. Which is where android gives plenty of choice you can move between handsets and be pretty much assured that the same applications will be able to run on your new phone that ran on your old phone and dalvik largely solves that java problem.
Of course handset manufacturers need to get hit on the head with a clue stick to realise that they need to support their handsets a lot more than they are used to. Motorola and Samsung are very slow to update their older phones. HTC seem to do a lot better in that department. If Samsung don't get their finger out my next phone will not be a Samsung it will probably be a HTC.it could have been nokia had they not been sold up the river by the CEO.
People will want a shiny new phone every couple of years or so once the screens scratched the handset is worn and the battery life is less than half what it was new. However being locked into a contract means they can't just buy the new shiny when they feel like it and looking at the next version for 18 months while getting ignored by their current network provider and handset provider is just going to send them to the competition when they do upgrade.

The Anarch Cookbook: A Friendly Guide to Vampire Politics (Vampire The Masquerade Sourcebook) [Paperback] Bill Bridges (Author), Kerry Thornley (Author)
The one review
The Anarch Cookbook is well written. It is indeed a manual for Anarch politics, warfare and their way of unlife. With descriptions on strategies for times of peace as well as melee and ranged combat tactics, weapon infos and bomb making. Notes on water cannons, bullet proof vests and shield parry. How to incite riots and revolts and how pacify them again. Useful for Anarchs and counter forces, like the Prince, the Primogen, the police and paramilitary units. It is a manual and for that it's good. On the other hand it lacks everything concerning their history and decision making processes within the movement, either in Camarillan cities, the Anarch Free State or in Sabbat strongholds. The Cookbook only pictures the USA. The statement all, Anarchs left Europe in an Exodus-like migration, seems to be blown out of proportions. The movement began in the old world and nothing explains why all Anarchs should have left European cities only to live in the then Camarilla controlled American cities. The book misses any comment on the unlifespan of Anarchs. I guess not all of them are neonates. Or is it their doom to die young - even in "peaceful" cities? Though many probably do, a number of Elders from the of the Inquisition might still exist. To resume, it's not an encyclopaedia it's a cookbook.
$15 new or used from $2.32 potential for scoring points with goth chicks maybe.
It's generally really difficult to get through to anyone who could actually get a bug fixed.
the sales contacts won't be able to do anything dave from bangalore can't deviate from his scripts and will not pass anything back to the engineers on the other side of the world. so who , where?
so given the opportunity to pass bug reports back to a company, why not pass your bug information to them. it's not like there is an alternative point of contact available for these other bugs.
What is really crazy is that the corporate mind thinks this is people wanting to get paid for fixing unrelated bugs it isn't. It's people wanting bugs fixed even if it is a bug in the partners software at least corporation a has a line of communication to corporation b and hopefully the bug can be resolved to the benefit of both corporations and their customers.
At least with open source software you can submit a bug about anything and hope to see it get fixed or find work arounds or updates or if needs be fix it yourself (it is always going to be easier for someone who has worked on the code base to find the error fix it and submit a patch).
with the archos7 you have to root it to use adhoc networks the 70 does it out of the box my mobile provider lets me buy 500mb internet access a month for 5 euro's with data speeds to 7.2mb on a 99 euro samsung europa that is more than adequate.
You might try the archos 70 its running 2.2 has hdmi out and apparently a full bluetooth stack and has usb if its the same as the 7 the usb can be host as well.
it does however lack gps or 3g but hopefully the gps functionality can be added in via a bluetooth gps unit. the 3g i don't particularly care to have since i can simply link with my android phone using barnacle.
In December 2008, the image again gave rise to controversy when the British Internet Watch Foundation placed certain pages from Wikipedia on its internet blacklist, since it considered the image to be "potentially illegal" under the Protection of Children Act 1978.[3] This resulted in much of the UK being prevented from editing Wikipedia, and significant public debate of the decision. The decision was reversed by the IWF after four days of blocking.[4]
That was easy enough to do in the UK, i would think most places have some kind of blocking in place. Even if its just to try and stop access to pedographic (maybe not a word but it could be) porn.
Algeria is not known as a great source of networking expertise
I really think you should think about what you are implying here, because logically for algeria to have internet connectivity at all there has to be some competent network engineers working there.
Googling Population of Algeria reveals a population of 34,895,470 roughly half that of the UK and huge compared to my countries 4 million (Ireland).
Just how much networking expertise is needed?
I'm pretty sure Algeria will have it's own share of educated, highly intelligent Engineers. In fact when you reeled off a list of ISP's you revealed where some of the talent will be found. It's pretty unthinkable that there is no government control of ISP's in Algeria.
I guess every film trailer has accurately reflected the film it's advertising,perhaps not. I'd rather hear from people who saw the film and are enthusiastic about it because it really is a good film. No film studio is ever going to admit its made a stinker of a film or that the second or third sequel of a successful initial film just ran out of plot.
in 1980 the zx81 wasn't even out 83 you had the spectrum and commodore 64 i think your stretching the cost of games a bit far trying to compare the value of cash from 30 years ago. Try more like 15 years ago. when games were about £15 - £20 for an Amiga or PC
For a product aimed at the general public, you would kind of expect all of us to have seen them on sale somewhere at some point.
It's not like we don't have an interest in this type of thing, if it was commercial gear then it wouldn't be surprising but the zune is firmly aimed at consumers and it is not available for consumers to buy in Ireland and the UK at least.
The Zune is a failed product, at least in this part of the world. Hopefully someone will know somewhere that sells them but i'm doubtful they have much presence anywhere outside of the usa.
you can't change the hardware that is in an existing android tablet, and updating the linux core is difficult when bits of the source is missing. The biggest limitation is the limited ram, it always is.
However that isn't really a huge problem, because most of us bought our tablets knowing what they could do and not for the things that they can't.
I've got my android tablet right now and it has enough features for me to be happy with it. I honestly don't care for the ipad and it's walled garden. I like the galaxy tab but seriously it's way over priced.
One thing which does help extend my tablet is that I also own an android phone. This provides me with additional services for the tablet. If There isn't an app to do that I will write it if no one else does first. i have the android dev kit and eclipse installed on an sd card in my netbook. The emulator is horrendously slow admittedly but its all there in 3 gb of space.
Will I buy another android tablet? almost certainly and it probably will run honeycomb but thats going to be maybe in a years time. Till then I have already found my killer app ontrack diabetes it lets me log my blood sugars and they are improving since I started using the app on android.
So i'm happy enough, I first started playing around with a zx81 with 1k ram many years ago and worked my way through lots of computers over the years. from 8086 Ibm compatibles several flavours of amiga's my first real hdd was a 52 meg quantum fireball in my A1200 my first netbook was a EEE701 which was a bit too small. Hardware becomes obsolete and better things show up There is no perfect hardware that will be with me for the next 20 years. Honeycomb is a step forward but it is not the final destination not by any means.
Honestly it really doesn't matter if newer android tablets are better than older ones it is always going to be that way.
it costs $100,000 and your dragging a huge engine in a boat behind you.
would it save you from getting seasick or would you be bouncing up and down with the swell anyway? wonder if it would be any use for sea rescue its relatively quick at 35 mph and you'd have a reasonable chance of spotting someone in the water. cheaper than a helicopter any way.
diving with it or something similar might be another interesting possibility
To dismiss dietary changes as being nonsense is as bad as dismissing all vaccines as ineffective. Perhaps the cardiac team who helped me are wrong in telling me that some foods are better for me than others.
I'm diabetic so high sugar content and carbohydrate content in my food causes elevated levels of blood sugar which damages my body.in the short term heart disease and stroke are most likely in later stages blindness and amputations.
So it is pretty obvious that eating a cake is going to adversely effect my blood sugar while a carrot is mostly harmless. Ok so I am diabetic and most people are not but a constant onslaught of high sugar, high carb high fat high alcohol diets is going to be straining your bodies resources.Most of us eat to much and most of it is junk.
Another problem area is cholesterol and many processed foods are made with crappy ingredients that are high in fat which fur up my arteries and raise the chances of another heart attack.
Making better choices in the food I eat is a no brainer and how well I make these choices will effect my health. Physical exercise on a daily basis lowers my blood sugar to healthy levels and my body adjusts itself to cope with the workload.
I am certainly better in my own health for the changes that i've made in my "lifestyle" and I think happier too. Thou year one ater my heart attack was difficult you struggle with the thoughts of your impending demise and your statistically shortened life span. However the risk of death diminishes greatly if you get through year one. so i am quietly confident i can beat the odds if i take care of myself.
Health wise I'm doing well I haven't been sick from anything for a long time. While others around me have been getting sick.
Some diseases are worth getting vaccinated against but i am not going to go for a flu jab I don't see a benefit from it at this moment in time. I think i am healthy enough to cope with the flu if I get it.
Technically I'm in a high risk group but I don't think flu is going to kill me.
the main problem is you need a new gmail account to be allowed to import from hotmail but you can get round this by dumping to an intermediate gmail account. And just set a forward to the one you really want to use.
I have a number of email accounts which i label in gmail so i know where it came from. The only thing i get stuck with is friends with compromised accounts which send porn and viagra links
Another useful thing i found is you can sync contacts from winmobile / outlook to a gmail account. very handy if you move to android.
facebook contacts can be exported via yahoo to gmail too.
UPDATE: It turns out there may have been a bit of confusion surrounding Kovacsâ(TM) comments at the Google event. Google reached out to clarify, supplying BGR with the following statement: âoeThe version of Honeycomb weâ(TM)ve shown is optimized for tablet form factors. All of the UI changes are the future of Android. Yesterdayâ(TM)s event focused on tablet form factors, which is where youâ(TM)ll first see Honeycomb.â
I wish I hadn't read your comment because the same thing happened to me and it sucks. Writing an essay is a very standardised process no matter what you are writing about. It is pretty simple once you have been taught the structure much like writing good code.
I started an English course as part of an open degree, I could pick what interested me. Trouble with making this choice was I had to write essays and I didn't comprehend what an essay is expected to be.
The first two essays I wrote were terrible, it was like attempting carpentry with no idea of how things should go together. Well for my third attempt I took advice from friends who were experts at writing essays and learnt the structure and how to balance my paragraphs.
Eventually I had a polished essay well structured and argued and presented this to my tutor who's only experience of my previous work were the two abysmal essays which I had submitted thinking how hard can this be.
The result an accusation of plagiarism by my tutor and a long appeals process to get transferred to a different tutor. One who didn't assume I was an ignorant uncouth lump incapable of stringing a sentence together.
To be fair I wasn't really taught English at school, there was English literature and English language and the only focus was on the two set books for English literature. The joys of a comprehensive education. So I sympathise with your situation and i still have a hatred for the stuck up bitch who couldn't comprehend it is possible to produce an excellent essay once you comprehend what is needed.
"Sadly, Google seems to have admitted that it's possible to poison their own results which is something they've been denying for some time now."
no google put in a few case statements for the purpose of finding if bing was cribbing off googles search results.
The test demonstrated microsoft data mines users of its software and associates what google returns for a search with the search term entered in googles search box.
The code to generate the sample test results has now been removed.
It's always been possible for google to put what ever results it likes for a specific query but until now its always done that by returning a natural result alongside paid results. For the purpose of the experiment the natural search would return nothing under normal circumstances. instead google placed marked bills for results which somehow found there way into microsofts products.
What should it mean for the average user of microsoft products? That you don't just need to worry about unknown third parties monitoring your pc usage, microsoft is doing it as well.
If you think its non of microsofts business what your doing on your pc, you should avoid their products.
i know you can't create energy from nothing. However if you want to lift 100 kg and you lower 80 kg you are effectively lifting 20kg Your are putting less energy in to get your 100 kg raised.
what happens when you use a pully system where you can lift a heavy load using less force but over a greater distance?
could you have a triangular system with a short ascent and a longer descent ? Would that help?
There is almost certainly gravity working in your favour with a ski lift as your lowering and lifting at the same time. That essentially means you move the difference between the load being lowered by the load being raised. I would imagine its possible to gear the system so you could raise heavier loads while lowering lighter ones too. It does say in the summary about excess energy being used for other purposes. Which makes the ski lift a source of energy rather than a sink

The Anarch Cookbook: A Friendly Guide to Vampire Politics (Vampire The Masquerade Sourcebook) [Paperback]
Bill Bridges (Author), Kerry Thornley (Author)
The one review
The Anarch Cookbook is well written. It is indeed a manual for Anarch politics, warfare and their way of unlife. With descriptions on strategies for times of peace as well as melee and ranged combat tactics, weapon infos and bomb making. Notes on water cannons, bullet proof vests and shield parry. How to incite riots and revolts and how pacify them again. Useful for Anarchs and counter forces, like the Prince, the Primogen, the police and paramilitary units. It is a manual and for that it's good. On the other hand it lacks everything concerning their history and decision making processes within the movement, either in Camarillan cities, the Anarch Free State or in Sabbat strongholds.
The Cookbook only pictures the USA. The statement all, Anarchs left Europe in an Exodus-like migration, seems to be blown out of proportions. The movement began in the old world and nothing explains why all Anarchs should have left European cities only to live in the then Camarilla controlled American cities.
The book misses any comment on the unlifespan of Anarchs. I guess not all of them are neonates. Or is it their doom to die young - even in "peaceful" cities? Though many probably do, a number of Elders from the of the Inquisition might still exist.
To resume, it's not an encyclopaedia it's a cookbook.

The first two essays I wrote were terrible, it was like attempting carpentry with no idea of how things should go together. Well for my third attempt I took advice from friends who were experts at writing essays and learnt the structure and how to balance my paragraphs.
Eventually I had a polished essay well structured and argued and presented this to my tutor who's only experience of my previous work were the two abysmal essays which I had submitted thinking how hard can this be.
The result an accusation of plagiarism by my tutor and a long appeals process to get transferred to a different tutor. One who didn't assume I was an ignorant uncouth lump incapable of stringing a sentence together.
To be fair I wasn't really taught English at school, there was English literature and English language and the only focus was on the two set books for English literature. The joys of a comprehensive education. So I sympathise with your situation and i still have a hatred for the stuck up bitch who couldn't comprehend it is possible to produce an excellent essay once you comprehend what is needed.
"Sadly, Google seems to have admitted that it's possible to poison their own results which is something they've been denying for some time now."
no google put in a few case statements for the purpose of finding if bing was cribbing off googles search results.
The test demonstrated microsoft data mines users of its software and associates what google returns for a search with the search term entered in googles search box.
The code to generate the sample test results has now been removed.
It's always been possible for google to put what ever results it likes for a specific query but until now its always done that by returning a natural result alongside paid results. For the purpose of the experiment the natural search would return nothing under normal circumstances. instead google placed marked bills for results which somehow found there way into microsofts products.
What should it mean for the average user of microsoft products? That you don't just need to worry about unknown third parties monitoring your pc usage, microsoft is doing it as well.
If you think its non of microsofts business what your doing on your pc, you should avoid their products.
i know you can't create energy from nothing.
However if you want to lift 100 kg and you lower 80 kg you are effectively lifting 20kg
Your are putting less energy in to get your 100 kg raised.
what happens when you use a pully system where you can lift a heavy load using less force but over a greater distance?
could you have a triangular system with a short ascent and a longer descent ? Would that help?
There is almost certainly gravity working in your favour with a ski lift as your lowering and lifting at the same time. That essentially means you move the difference between the load being lowered by the load being raised. I would imagine its possible to gear the system so you could raise heavier loads while lowering lighter ones too. It does say in the summary about excess energy being used for other purposes. Which makes the ski lift a source of energy rather than a sink
