Why would I as a developer put time and hard effort into developing software if I believed there was a good chance it would never even get the chance to be installed?
Yeah, so true!
Because lithium-ion is the only battery that exists. Oh, wait, it's not..
Check out LiFEPo4, A123 makes them, there was a video when they drilled straight through and no kabom, just some smoke if i remember.
As a Scandinavian I really don't know. But since out green party came into power by scaring everyone with environmental disaster and got driving on the road criminalized, traffic accidents decreased sharply.
If you define looking at the pretty pictures as "reading" then sure I did!;)
Of course it is very small, even as a production car it is unfair to compare it to a regular multi-seated car. This is more of a personal vehicle, it has a different use. What it does show is possibility. It is possible to build an extremely efficient car if you put your mind to it. A smart car sized version would probably not get the same mileage but if it got even close, that would be fantastic!
I, and many others live in a city where parking space is expensive and hard to find. If there was cars like this we could have miniature parking spaces, maybe even put the cars standing up. In the same space for one normal car you can park four or five like this. I don't really need a bigger car for almost any trip. If it had place for two then it would cover 99% of my needs, the rest i can rent a car or borrow one for. It is much cheaper than to pay a lot of money for parking, gas and of course finding space for it.
It is time for small cheap cars. In cities and in developing countries they WILL sell like crazy soon.
We don't have that problem in Europe, especially in the richer countries. In Holland it is very popular with cars in sizes from smart cars and a bit larger. Then again fuel here cost about $6.5/gallon. And even while driving much smaller cars than north Americans do we still have less people killed in traffic here in Europe. You are doing something wrong.
You are referring to an adult woman making her own decisions as "Top shelf pussy, just ruined by porn.". AND THEN you go on arguing about how porn is degrading towards women? Mind bending!
Do you also refer to your mother as Top Shelf Pussy or does she not live up to that quality standard?
I would like to propose that it is not porn or sexist commercials that degrades women. It is our (both mens and womens) attitudes that does. You just gave us a great illustration of this. Women are not body part nor decorations.
However, Baker believes that the virtual keyboard's full potential will only be realised if it's integrated into every area of the iPhone that uses a keyboard, such as SMS and email, rather than developed as a standalone application. For this to happen, he requires Apple's aid, something he described as "very difficult to get".
So, for the time being at least, the Crocodile Keyboard for touchscreen phones remains just a dream.
"The Pirate Party aren't revolutionaries because they aren't fighting for anything in particular"
That is just plain wrong, the Pirate party is fighting _for_:
- A reform of copyright law
- Personal privacy
- Abolishion of patents
In each case the Pirate Party has very specific ideas how things should work.// An actual active member of the Pirate Party, so shut up or we'll throw you over board! AAAARH!
Working out doors in a party tent after sleeping a few hours. I was wet and the temperature was around 8C (46F) am orchestra playing really loud music 10 meters away. Several important people asking for the lists that we were supposed to produce and no idea how to even approach the problem. Time limit about 30 minutes. Oh, the computer i was using was a slow ass iBook G4 running eclipse and other heavy applications. Good times..:)
I find it pretty interesting to read about these debates about the "poor" ISPs that have to put up with people using their "high speed" connections to much and that is some how reasonable for them to charge high prices for little delivered. I am sure most people have heard abot how the new law here in Sweden (IPRED) has made the internet traffic drop by 40%. By you logic the ISPs here should be ecstatic. Right?
The president of Banhof (one of our major ISPs), Jon Karlung wrote in a response to this "If the traffic is permanently decreased by 50% a whole sector is in jeopardy" (my translation, in no way an exaggeration). I believe this is because we have a healthy competition in this sector and they know that they cant get away with an expensive but slow service. If people need less traffic they will pay less. This is a _normal_ situation. yours is not normal.
I live in the bad part of a town with a population of about 100k. I have a 100/10Mbit connection (uncapped) for about 30 Euros a month. About $50 but really lower if you consider the weak dollar. I am pretty sure that it's not my ISP doing charity.

100Mbit down/10Mbit up for $60/month, no limits I live in Sweden.

Hitachi's Tiny RFID Chips
·
· Score: 3, Informative
The reading distance is not so much limited by reader sensitivity as the amount of rf-power received by the chip. The chip has to receive enough power to operate, albeit very little. Then the chip creates a modulated reflection, that means that the more power you transmit the more power you get back. The specified reading range is not a hard limit, you can get a lot longer distance if you use a reader that put out more power than the spec states. We read rfid chips at up to about 10 meters in optimal conditions with compliant readers.
On the other hand if they keep growing they will have so much power it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about them, they will at most get a slap on the wrist when they play dirty. Oh, wait, thats how it already is..
It is only EU that have actually done anything to punish Microsoft, in USA they seem almost untouchable.
I belive Linux is what they are realy scared of and they should be, there is no way for them to win in the long run.
And why would they do that? It doesn't make any sense!
They are trying to build the pyramide that is Microsoft as large as they can, the bigger the pyramid is the greater the power they have and power is what its all about.
I dont think he cares what you think. And why should he?
He actualy seems smarter than a lot of people here: He DOES have the freedom to do this, why do you even care ? You tell HIM to get a life when he is the one actually doing something and you are the one bitching at him on slashdot?
Thats irony for you..

GTK has C++ bindings, its called GTKMM.
Its still in beta but its improving!

I remember when i did my military service when i went outside the tent and brushed my teeth in just boots and boxers, it was about -30C and it wasnt that bad.
Now i have been inside all winter so I would probably freze my ass of fully clothed at -5:)/Swede
And how would your phone look like with that nikon lens attached to it? Bulky yes?
Of course a larger lens means more light. But then again not all pictures are taken in a dark enviroment.
Most people dont want a huge ass lens that sticks out of their camera and still they want good pictures.How do you solve that? By progress of course.
CCDs getts better, small lenses get better, sooner or later we are going to have phones with great cameras, just like that!
7mp camera in a mobile phone IS progress. It might not be perfect and it might not even be the best way to do it. But it is progress. Stop being so negative!

Same goes for sound, if you send out a sound with the same volume and "shape" as the background noise but phase-inverted, you get silence.
