I could read all my existing google mail while out of service area
I pre-zoomed Google Maps to a level that included basically everywhere I wanted; the data was cached locally on the device. I couldn't scroll very much without encountering blank areas, and I couldnt zoom in and out because it could not load data.
No, that's not how Android works.
You're also wrong on how the e-mail works.
The e-mail applications sync data locally to the phone; no data connection is necessary to read e-mail once it's been downloaded to the phone.
All my apps worked on a recent camping trip where I had zero data connectivity for over a week.
Only thing that didn't work was my web browser, even google maps was functional albeit with no zooming.
I even retrieved e-mail once or twice by surprise when a cell signal leaked through the mountains every now and then.

TomeNET is a multiplayer fantasy dungeon exploration game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a game that emphasizes intricate, challenging, and varied gameplay over graphics. Hundreds of different monsters in randomly-generated, unpredictable dungeons will strive to slay you by various means, and you counter - if you survive - by developing the skills of your choice and wielding mighty artifacts.
TomeNET was originally based on Mangband 0.7.0, and it is now the leading multiplayer Angband variant! The current server is TomeNET.net, select it when the client asks you which server you want to use. TomeNET was formely known was PernMangband, but the name was changed due to copyright issues.
Actually, I was wrong.
The original post was garbled due to my lack of previewing, but it only unwraps the binaries when you're UNINSTALLING the drivers.
The bug is that the driver actually tries to UN-suid the applications:
unwrap_setuid_third_party_application xsane
unwrap_setuid_third_party_application xscanimage
wrap_setuid_ooo_application soffice un
wrap_setuid_ooo_application swriter un
wrap_setuid_ooo_application simpress un
wrap_setuid_ooo_application scalc un
But they screwed up the oo unwrap part.
The "un" should be BEFORE the "wrap" on those lines.
It suids the apps temporarily, and improperly un-suids them.
My employer has implemented some St. Bernard firewall software.
I can get to Target's web page, Ebay, paypal, and amazon.com, but I can't get to the discussion forums on www.hp.com, and they've blocked groups.google.com.
As it is now, I am forced to SSH to my home PC and use an SSH socks proxy to access those webpages.
What idiots.

Has anyone done a study strictly on the impact of human heat generation, and how it might impact global warming?
Leaving co2 and greenhouse gas questions to the side for the moment, human beings generate an awful lot of heat via our automobiles, power plants, homes, etc. Certainly the effect it might have would probably be very minimal, but if anyone could point to a paper or documentation on this topic I'd be interested in reading it...

Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
Based on my home's elevation, the average depth of the worlds oceans of ~13,000 feet, and assuming that 2% of the worlds water is locked away in those icecaps, I'll have some prime realestate come Armaggedon.
Anybody have a good realestate agent they can recommend me?

Is there anything it CAN'T do?
Ice ages here, mega-deserts there...
Besides, let's say the ice caps DO melt, and we lose a litle coastline. Big deal, over the ~150 years that takes, we'll clear the lower-lying cities out, plenty of time for that.
Just think of the possibilities, though. Far more of the earth's surface might become habitable! The increased heat might spur mega growth of flora, turning the southeastern United States (and other areas) into tropical rainforests!
Is all climate change bad?

You REALLY think that installing Microsoft Office on WindowsXP is easier than typing "urpmi openoffice.org" in a console?
My wife's shitty old blue Motorola 120 was fully submerged in a soft drink for nearly an hour. She had placed it lying flat in the center console cupholder, and a large soft drink had tipped over while we were in the mall.
It was actually still on, you could see the motorola logo and signal meter through the liquid, so I pulled it out and yanked the battery out. Took it inside the mall, rinsed it off in a water fountain, let it dry out, and it still works fine, months later.
I'm in the process of re-reading the book now after watching the movie, but I don't recall much more beyond what was in the movie. Sure, they may have left a line of the book out, that's granted, but hardly an earthshattering change...
I question whether you even WATCHED the movie.
The ravenous etc. etc. traal was quite thoroughly explained in one of the animated cut scenes explaining Vogon bureaucracy.

Quite possibly.

Perhaps this will turn out to be a partial explanation for the "cancer clusters" you read about every now and then. Varka
