I don't understand your hint. I don't know how things work in your area, but round here when cops kill or frame someone it is hushed up by cops and all the evidence is 'lost'. If there is enough of a fuss made, an investigation is held by cops and the results are heavily censored as they are 'not in the public interest'.
So yeah, if a cop tasers an innocent minor and gets found out, that cop will get suspended on full pay for a few years while an investigation chugs along, then when the fuss has died down and the not guilty verdict brought in he will be reinstated and get the promotions he missed out on while suspended.
Neato! No longer will a call to the cops that your house has been burgled and there are footprints and fingerprints all over the place result in a response of 'we are too busy to investigate, here's a crime number for your insurance claim'. Now it will be 'we will have a unit over the area within minutes, here's a crime number for your insurance claim'. Still no investigation, but maybe the drone can measure how cars are parked and issue some tickets.
Hahahahahahaha! The station will fit a dud and when you take it back they will say you broke/swapped/messed with it and make a claim against your battery insurance (you surely won't be putting down a deposit to cover the $20,000 the battery is worth) for a new battery, plus their time changing it again, plus admin, plus storage. Oh and your policy will have an excess fee so you pay the first $1000 out of your own pocket.
Thanks for the clarification, maybe it is just an attitude thing. I have a file over here and i want it over there on the iPod, I want to copy it but instead I have to fire up an app and ponce around to do it, then I find that instead of copying the file, it has altered it. While I am installing iTunes I don't rename all the iTunes executable files to suit myself and I don't expect an app to mess with data files when it is supposed to be copying them.
My grotty usb/mp3 stick works better for me. I can plug it into most ( ie recent )computers and it shows up as storage. I don't need a special app, I just copy files to it and later the music player finds them and shows the filenames on its little screen. If the battery goes flat, I can put a new (possibly recharged, possibly borrowed from the tv remote) one in, and if i find myself near a pc with better speakers, I can plug in and play my music through that. All without the internet and without carrying cables, chargers, install cds and crap around the prehistoric swamp that I seem to inhabit.
Granted, I did not state the model, but this one has no power on button on the top left. It is a 4th generation 40GB one.
I just googled and it appears this one needs to be on charge to reset it. This is a bit lame but better than no reset at all. When the iPod hung I was nowhere near a pc or power ( or i wouldn't need the iPod ) and was quite cross that i didn't have a power switch or a reset switch ( not even a poke-a-paperclip-through-a-hole type) and I couldn't even pop the batteries out. The experience may have scarred me.
I didn't know King had tried episodic payments. That was not my proposition, I imagined a writer releasing a sample from a completed book then selling the full book after watermarking it with the details of each individual purchaser.
Yeah, it annoys me that the iPod has niggly faults (no power switch, no reset button, no battery compartment lid, no watchdog timer to resolve 'hanging') that more development would have cured, but instead Apple spent time and money artificially restricting and obfuscating basic functions.
I mean, really, you transfer your mp3 file (lovingly taken from vinyl and hand-finished with the correct spelling and umlauts and everything) to the thing and it RENAMES THE FILE WITHOUT ASKING FOR CONFIRMATION! Nice going, guys. Good data handling procedures there, ALTERING FUCKING USER DATA WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF MAKING A BACKUP. Excuse me while I instead copy the mp3 onto micro-sd ready to be crammed into my phone or car radio.
I could MAYBE put up with all the iPod's deficiencies if it was some POS Kazakhstani device i picked up at Asda for £10. Ludicrously, the crappy £10 music player/usb stick i DID buy from Asda is less crippled.
A literary writer should be able to email his contact list with 'My new noval is ready! Hear is teh frist chaptor, send me sum moneys and i will email you a watermarked copy of the full book. Plz forward to all your peeps, kthxbai'.
I think I may be able to explain the discrepancy between the sexes; the government is beaming propaganda about world events via the mind control beams. Men will, of course, raise their tinfoil hats when meeting a lady.
Give Windows and Flash a couple more iterations and the majority of the general public will need a quad-core 32GB box so they can read their funny online comics, watch some video & email granny.
Heh, I don't got much fancy book learnin, but I done started going to work early in life. I would agree that personal contacts are key, being good at your job counts for nothing, IMHExperience. If you are really good at your job you get to train some graduate to be your boss. Even while you are showing him how everything works, he will be getting more pay than you.
So. 1 Get a degree by any means. 2 Lie, lie and lie again to get a job 3 Lie and bluff through the job whilst shmoozing your way to the next job 4 Profit
Meh, I don't care if the retards make assumptions about the display while writing in a markup language originally intended to let the browser sort out how best to fit elements on its display.
Ahahahahah! By attaching laser beams to land mammals as well as sharks I have total coverage and surveillance of the US! Haha! Starting tonight I will zap out of existance anyone using a cell phone whilst driving, eating while driving, driving while tired, driving with any alcohol or drugs in their system etc! Ahahahahahahahahaha! I am thinking of the children! Ahahahahahahahahaha! Pretty soon all these dangers will be gone forever!
At that point, will the people who devise, enact and enforce these laws say "well, my work is done, better resign and stop wasting taxpayers money" or "crap, better hype up some new dangers to justify my phony baloney job"?
It isn't my speciality (as the wife will attest), but I think it is called 'hardness'. Making or coating the screen in a harder material reduces the scratching. There may be a trade-off between hardness, cost and transparency.
A tablet might be nifty. I will get one when they have either an sd card slot or a little compartment to put an USB stick in. I want to be able to work with the music/video/text/whatever files that are on the removable media, no 'importing' crap. And if i have wifi and a browser, i need enough flash support to watch Weebl and Bob.
And for blimey's sake, make the screen scratch resistant.
Judging by the low quality of documents that office monkeys email to each other, even more time and money could be saved by standardising on ascii txt files.
I was using WEP because my wireless router was someone else's cast-off and I reasoned that 'any encryption is better than nothing', then I tried out aircrack and was alarmed by how fast it worked. Fortunately I could flash the router to make it capable of WPA-TKIP, so I still have not had to buy a router.:-)

Currently don't? Or by definition don't?
Surely a satellite is launched on a ballistic path?
Yes, if jazzed-up means less-capable-but-glossier.
Hahahahahahaha!

Bingo!!

Will I then be able to pull the files off the iPod and the filenames will be ok?

Will this preserve filenames on the iPod? So when I pull them off the iPod the filenames will be ok?
What? There is an option to preserve the filenames in the iPod? So why bother trashing them by default?

I think you are entirely correct.

If the data I want is there, I can scroll for it.
