A C- is excelling? A C- is greatness to you? If I brought home a D grade I'd feel guilty for squeeking by and my parents would give me the "tsk tsk" look. This is one small step above what's there already, I don't think this is radical at all.
Please define "recently". IE stopped supporting any apple OS 5-10 years ago with IE 5.5. They wouldn't develop office for OSX if they weren't trying to convert the last firms who use OSX as their common desktops.
You have it backwards. They're going to do their darndest to hog as much bandwidth as possible, and then point out that AT&T's network was just as shitty as the day before and the day after. This is to disprove that "greedy inconsiderate iPhone users" are bringing AT&T, when AT&T is doing that just fine on their own.
I would argue the opposite. At the beginning Buddy is a little twerp who in fact cannot help and get in the way, nor did he really want to help people, the key feature of a hero. Mr. Incredible was right to dismiss him at that point. In 10 years it might have been different for him. But no, he couldn't accept his hero NOT bowing down to him so he childishly became a villain. More that he was always villain material, Mr. Incredible just broke the last illusions that he wasn't.
I support motorola cable boxes so I know a little bit about cable cards. The whole point of an MCard is that is supports two tuners. I don't own a tivo but I've heard 1 MCard lets you use both tuners. The motorola equivalent only requires one MCard for it's two tuners. Perhaps when the installers visited you they gave you an older SCard instead. I wouldn't put it past them.
Yes LandWarrior is a nice ruggedized soldier computing unit. It also costs thousands, weighs 40 pounds, and is harder to use than an itouch. Probably does less too.
Actually Galcon was a desktop app before it was an iphone/pod one. I've tried both, it's technically the same game except for the desktop version's other game modes. But I find controlling the iphone one easier. I can move my finger over a 3in. screen more easily than I can move a mouse over a 20in. one.
While I completely agree with the need for standard fittings on the plumbing, is the high-voltage portion of your computer really the best place for the waterworks portion as well?
It's been said many times before. Very few people HAVE a choice other than no broadband at all. At home I am lucky to have the choice between comcast and verizon. Few people in my area have that choice. And this is the problem. If there was consumer choice then comcast would either adapt and provide the service they advertise/sell or they would die. But there isn't, so they don't.
Compared to prokaryotes (simple life, bacteria), all eukaryote life (advanced life like plants pachyderms and people) are essentially cousins. This is a split that happened at the dawn of life on earth. This article theorizes that the split would have happened earlier if not for a lack of molybdenum and the resultant lack of usable nitrogen.
I believe you are incorrect. I work at Motorola, and despite how low rung I am, I know that the purpose of the MCards (now required by the FCC) is that now you only need to rent a card. You can soon buy a settop box from BestBuy, rent just the MCard from your cable provider, insert, and watch TV. Settop box makers now have to compete on features and price instead of the backroom deals with cable providers. At least this is the what I have heard from all my higher-ups.
Now, this will not affect most people as they don't want to go through the hassle of choosing a box or don't know why they should. Motorola boxes going to BestBuy will be open but the ones going to Comcast will have a metal shield bolting the MCard into the settop. Oh well.
The 2-way cable cards I believe already exist, MCards. The point of those is that, while nothing signal wise can be done, you can buy a settop from any supplier, you don't HAVE to rent a box from your cable company and their provider. Features like DVR would be one-time purchase and not a rental.
In the US, I believe the case is: if you are broadcasting at a low enough power level, as in having an effective range of 10ft., you can broadcast on whatever frequency you want.
I believe these scam letters usually claim to be smuggling this money away from an oppressive regime, or out of a bank now that the oppressive regime is gone. Thereby making it seem like you would be a hero for helping out. The greed from getting "your" cut is the clincher.
"The people who plan, fight and suffer from war, however, do have a concept of right and wrong."
My point was that in a war, at least one side does not have a good concept of right or wrong, otherwise the war would not have happened.
I think you misunderstood the parent. War has no concept of right and wrong. War is by definition when all the rules break down. When normal rules of human interaction (like talk it out before resorting to violence) all go to hell. If all human beings had consideration for other human beings then they would all follow the rules and there would be no war.
Now, I do agree with "rules of war" like the geneva convention because wars do not last forever. What happens after you commit atrocities? Any survivors from the enemy will never trust you again, and other nations won't either because they could be next. You would have proven that you can and will do anything for your own gain at the expense of others.
Just a point: do you think that The US will never face anyone except for small scale militants ever again? And even if that fortunate future came to pass, that no non-military field could ever make use of powerfull lasers smaller than a house?

I'm not really following you here. Why don't you just get a straight up GSM phone? Why is CDMA a requirement?
late post but oh well

Thank you, that was the FIRST thing I thought of.

I believe that Yoda DID train Obi-wan. I think Yoda taught him since childhood (they do take em young) and then Qui-gon took him as a field padawan.
Ah, you might as well wait longer though. Because I give a year, 2 tops, before Lucas releases all 6 together as a box set.

Ah, my kingdom for modpoints. We need more anti-propagandists around here.
So they can throw ads at me. I'm ok with that (as long as it's not TOO intrusive) for 1TB. But home mailing address? Nuh uh.
1 TB of space would be cool, if only for the novelty. But....why do they need to know my rl address?
