Not so much for navigation as for keeping track of movement. For example if I am in a current I may not know about it visually for a while, but the GPS will tell me straight away what is going on.
I own an openmoko and my wife owns an HTC Magic, running android. I know five or so people who own iPhones. I am yet to see a device which can replace my Garmin etrex.
I regularly attach the garmin to the deck of my sea kayak and dunk it in the ocean. I don't plan on doing that to a smart phone.
The largest supermarket chain here rents most DVD's for $1.
Not everywhere. To rent a first run movie is about $8 AUD overnight for me, and I have to walk to the video library where it might be out. An older movie is $5 AUD for one week.
if you have an unsecured access point called 'DLINK' at home and you run Windows with the network set to 'home' or 'work' then it is going to connect to any unsecured access point called 'DLINK' (how would it tell the difference?)
How about just busting into their wifi? There is an AP near the tram stop I use called "DLINK". I use it some times to check stuff while waiting for the tram to go. Now every time I go past an AP called DLINK (and there are a lot of them) ubuntu tries to connect. A lot of the time it gets on too.
Not a chance unless they trick them into flying to the US (for a regular meeting, say) and investigate from there. In fact, anybody who refuses a quick trip to the states at this point could be given an early look I suppose.
This is nothing to do with call centers, Its about big factories with servers in racks. No people are involves (well, maybe three or four for operations).
PCWorld seems to be taking the opposite stance arguing that blaming IE for attacks is a dangerous approach that could cause a false sense of security.
Well, of course they'd say that - they are running a PC/Windows/Microsoft magazine, after all.
Well, yes, but what they're saying has some merit. I've known many a novice user that thought that because they used firefox they didn't need an antivirus program or common sense.
More of a sand bank than a proper island. The average chunk of NZ is, what? 10cm across? Over here you are lucky to find grains > 1mm.
But we are slowly winning. After our circuit around south island in 2008 my wife and son insisted on bringing back five or ten kilos of "interesting rocks". Customs in Melbourne nearly had a fit. Another million years and the top metre of NZ will be features in Australian back yards.
This is in Australia? I saw on a TV show they had a competition for people to send in pictures showing their use for the yellow pages. One application I saw was to help their cat get through the cat flap.
Then there is the long life of other space probes, Voyager and Pioneer for example. Earth based equipment corrodes away. It gets buried by ice and snow. Damaged by storms. Out in space well built gear can go on for decades. Maybe Earth is not the best place to do engineering...
It says a lot about the wastefulness of institutions when it comes to buying hardware. I bet you the Defense Department could find lots of savings by sourcing their parts from Nintendo, too!
Wasn't there something recently about PS3s being used for a high performance computing setup by the US airforce?

If you can get into my sisters facebook account you can probably get into her pants.

Your Saab and my Subaru are 99% the same because they are exactly same car...wait...
Maybe it a bit like a linux system running gimp and a linux system running mplayer are 99% identical if you count the kernel, libc, etc.
I don't think this will be flown stick and rudder. More like point to a map location on your iPhone and press the "Go There" button.
I thought NASA had solved our orbital launch problems for ever.
Or even the other comments.
Beats gonzo journalism.
For an operating system that relies on volunteers and hobbyists, the Kolivas incident serves as a pretty bad precedent.
Dunno. The impression I have is that the primary kernel workers are employed to do just that.
Maybe. Stand at your workstation. Move around a lot. Break up teams spatially, so you have to move around. Might be healthier in the long run.
I thought Avatar was about the people triumphing over big business. You'd think that would go down well in supposedly communist China.

The MAC address?

You could always ask him.

It's just me or does everybody find this a terribly sad story?
My van needs an oil change and some rust spots fixed. Will you feel sorry for it too?

TFA says it is ChromiumOS. Chromium is the is the open source version of Chrome.
