You need to thing a long way ahead. Think about the UI on minority report. Workstations sell by the square centimetre. They have a cool, consistent style, possibly transparent. They all run the same OS and when configured, can behave as a single system. I should be able to transfer objects between my palm top/phone, ipad/netbook device, laptop or desktop with a flick of the finger.
Its fully distributed computing with the ability of offload to the cloud as required. With the right set of products, all these things should be possible. Instead iphone users are stuck with lists and scroll bars on itunes, with one way to work: master/slave. Its crap and we should be doing better.
I think the problem is that water can't compress. If you hit it slow enough for it to be able to get out of the way then it is quite soft. Hit it above that speed and it is rock hard. A stack of cardboard boxes is much better.
v^2 = 2*a*x
a=9.8
x=400ft=121m
v=48m/s=172km/h
Terminal velocity is about 200km/h (I did some indoor skydiving at Genting recently) so its almost there.
I can't see how to calculate deceleration in water from this speed but I reckon a fall from 400 feet is the same as a fall from any altitude at all.
Their OS was revolutionary, but a dead end. They tried to maintain backwards compatibility in the fastest moving market segment in IT, the mobile space. If they had moved to a proper kernel in the 1990s they might have kept up, but nobody saw the iPhone then.
I see about a 40% variation in spam during the week. The minimum seems to be Monday morning for me, which is Sunday night in the US. I definitely get the impression that it drops off when work computers are shut down for the weekend.
But in doing so you also cause some boxes to erase the current configuration - a security "feature" to prevent its leakage to anyone with physical access to the box.
Yes I agree, but I also think the employer is going to have to pay somebody to go through the entire configuration because they had a guy working there who they didn't trust, so redoing the router configuration may turn out to be a small part of that.
But the phone did belong to Apple. They sent a letter asking for their property back. Maybe something on or in the phone identifies it as Apple property.
More to the point. Say I am a doctor working for a small clinic. I get sacked and my non-medical boss asks for the keys to the drug cabinet. He can get in anyway but only by leaving a trail of evidence, and I suspect him of raiding the cabinet in the past. So what is my priority? Satisfying my boss? Or protecting the drugs?
He didn't remove the network from his employer. All the hardware was still there. If they had a clue they would have gone in at the hardware/firmware level and reset the passwords.
I am guessing you have been around for a while so I am surprised you need reminding.

No, he refused to disclose the password to his supervisors when they asked him for them.
Glad they found him guilty.
Come again on that one? If you have access to the hardware you can set the password to anything you want. You don't need the old password. You can kill people and get less than five years in jail.
I have a great digital watch. The band is integral with the body of the watch so I can wear it in bed and it won't catch on anything. It has up and down timers, world clock and multiple alarms. It cost 30 bucks on line.
I wear it when travelling. I use the stopwatch to time my medication and the world clock to schedule calls home. It does things which no mechanical watch can do.
I believe this was observed during the moratorium on air flight in the two days after 9/11. I don't think it speeds global warming. Its is just a constant temperature drop if you take away pollution.
I thought about that recently in Malaysia. My wife's relatives's children go to school with school bags on wheels because of the number of books they have to carry. Its mad.

The real question is whether the iPad will sell beyond the rush of early adopters. In a year we will probably know the answer to that question.
If you run out of toilet paper an iPad would be next to useless.
All they had to do was let go. I tell you, cycle commuting in Melbourne ain't easy. At least I can ride south in the morning on my way to work.

And despite all the think of Carly here she is a smart woman. I think she plans to run in 2016.

My alphaserver 3000 is mobile. I have a one tonne Toyota van.
I broke my right arm last year and I found that the left hand is surprisingly versatile.

400 feet max into water.. (a lot safer than 400 feet to ground)
I doubt that but I am sure they can be maintained safely.
Before XP the next release was always better than the last.
I can tell you never bought a computer with Windows ME on it.
Thats true.

They had one guy managing the whole thing so I suspect they had an unrealistic view of the cost of running a large network.

Can't they just go in through the console and set the password?

Unfortunately some parts of the world are only too happy to cut down their old growth forests for wood chips.
Actually, he might be on to something. I just printed this article out and it's a helluva lot funnier in print.
And on paper you can't be modded down.
