Some guy is wandering around an apparently deserted town, trying to figure out why he doesn't remember who he is. Then it turns out he's in the airforce, and just hallucinating. That was a pretty good one.
My iPhone 4 has been pretty much the same since installing iOS 5, and in fact I'm not having the problem I had with iOS 4 where Usage time = Standby time, and the battery gets hammered.
However, I noticed the Location Services arrow turning on a bit more than I would expect it to, so I disabled some of the system services (Settings, Location Services, scroll down to System Services at the bottom). In particular, I disabled Location-Based iAds, Setting Time Zone, and Traffic. I've also got automatic diagnostic/usage data reporting disabled. Perhaps those have something to do with it.
Proof by anecdote, I know, but I've never had any issues cleaning out C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Now, C:\Windows\Installer on the other hand... Just leave that one alone. Compress it if you want, but don't delete that stuff, or you will majorly screw up subsequent installations/uninstallations.
Funny enough, this is based on my experiences cramming Windows XP onto a 4 GB Eee PC.
I'm wondering exactly the same thing. Isn't this behavior a function of the web browser? How would Google be altering it without some elaborate HTTP redirect tricks?
Because there's no debt if the sale isn't made, and the law appears to be preempting the sale if the purchaser can't provide payment with some kind of paper trail. As I understand it, if you have an existing debt, and the creditor refuses to accept cash, then the debt is null and void, but there's no obligation for them to make a sale/establish a debt simply because you are presenting cash. Whether any other laws figure into this, I can't say.
I've had a Brother at home (HL5250 DN) for over 4 years now, and I haven't had to buy toner for it even once yet. Granted, it's just light home use - we've probably only put a few reams of paper through it total - but that's still pretty impressive. And the number of paper jams has probably been no more than ten, and it's usually because we've done something stupid to jam the output tray.
I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not glad he's dead by any stretch of the imagination, but no longer having his special brand of dick-headed control freak behavior calling the shots at Apple could prove interesting.
I'm torn on this. On the one hand, crack the whip and get some response from the lazy slackers. But on the other hand, not everybody is "college material", no matter the effort involved, and there's no shame in doing an honest day's work (or as the old adage goes, "the world needs ditch-diggers too").
Even in Outlook 2010, the search functionality isn't that great. Sometimes it takes so stinking long, I just grab my iPad and do the searching on there (and get the results much faster, which is kind of sad).
Prerecorded, I don't know. But if a debt collector calls you with an autodialer, you can take them to small claims court for $500, as it's illegal. If you can demonstrate that they willfully ignored the law, it's $1500.
Got a citation on that? I occasionally get prerecorded calls from yokels trying to track down the yokel that used to have my home phone number, and I'd enjoy knowing to what degree I can torment them for fun and profit (the former yokels, not the latter - he's apparently already got his own troubles).
You can use your newly released HP 12c Anniversary Edition (or 15c Limited Edition) to calculate how much stock you want to sell and/or short. Hopefully the company doesn't tank and take the calculator division with it before selling it off.
My entire point is that this teacher probably sucks. Read that original quote. She wants the iPad to be an electronic babysitter, because she never learned classroom management.
I also think it's pointless to have an iPad for every single kindergarten student, period. They stand to gain little from constant exposure to it. Have a couple for the classroom so that a few students can occasionally spend time with them (we did this with an Apple IIe when I was in kindergarten), but at that age, having such a large allocation wouldn't have much benefit, and would potentially do more harm than good. They're going to be spending at least another 12 years in school - let's focus on teaching them how to interact with the teacher and other students, rather than just drawing inward staring at their iPad.
Your argument kind of unraveled at the end there when you went ad-hominem.
I see plenty of value in these sort of tools for use in education, but at the kindergarten level, dedicating one for every student is utterly superfluous, and possibly hazardous to the students' ability to interact with the teacher and other authority figures. Throwing iPads at them is just Baby Einstein all over again. Let them use one on occasion to become comfortable with technology, but an iPad should in no way be a key component of a kindergarten education.

So if I don't use any syrup, I can eat pancakes in polynomial time? It's all starting to make sense now.

The way some Lisp programmers gush over the language, you might get that impression. (Not that I have anything against Lisp or John.)
I am 100% fine with vigilantism against child pornography.

Because, as we all know, Hollywood is the paragon of ethical hiring.
It's been hiding behind the moon, biding its time, and waiting to strike.

Bummer. Interesting article, though. Thanks.
I mean, as soon as you lose connectivity, your web browser stops working!

1. See the quote I singled out in my original post.
2. Why else would they buy one for every kindergartener?
The former. Nice try.

Apparently you've never been around the millions of people that went through kindergarten without an iPad and didn't end up retarded because of it.
Then there remains a distinct possibility that you're a shitty teacher.
They're kindergarteners. Do you expect to need all week to grade their 10 page term papers?

That's good. Last time I was killed in a blogging accident by my flaming water skis, the triage nurse took ages to figure out how to code it.
