I wonder if it would be possible to create something like a standard keyboard that was simply more flexible than the basic solid keyboard?
Keys could have their own inputs that fed back to the main board, which then acted like your standard keyboard setup. But the keys and their own inputs would be on wire or something else that could be stretched, and the shell of the board that everything sat in could be made of adjustable slides.
No idea if that would be more or less expensive than something like this.
Anyway, I think this would be an interesting presentation to here. We see a lot of stories about how few chicks are in the technical fields, this would be a great opportunity to really answer some of those question about the why of the seeming lack of female influence.
Not only guys use computers, so this could really be a chance to grab a soapbox and make something heard!
Seriously though, it's something to consider. The Blockbuster mail service, in my experience, has been something approaching a disaster. I didn't have good luck with Netflix either, but they were still better than Blockbuster's service.
I think it's high time companies started being held accountable for their business practices and started having to be responsible for their advertisements as well. Huzzah for the consumer backlash!
The problem is that they have to appease the people who gave them their jobs. Since the FCC officials weren't voted in, that means appeasing Congress. Since Congressional seats ARE voted on, whoever's constituents make the most noise are the ones that will, ultimately, decide where this goes.
It's kind of scary to think that people you didn't even vote for and can't (directly) rid yourself of have this much power, isn't it?
Seriously, who needs broadband on the cell, and who's going to lug around a laptop for high speed access? What are you going to do, jerk to high quality pr0n on your local park bench?
Seriously though. High speed access may be neat for transferring large, high quality sound files, images, and even streaming video (boy, all those places that banned camera-enabled cells will love that), but I think the data / voice streams shouldn't intermingle. That way, if one gets hogged up by a lot of activity in a concentrated area, the other isn't adversly affected.
But on Saturday Debian developers voted to postpone the changes until after Sarge releases, effectively affirming that the changes need to be made but making a pragmatic decision to not let the next release be delayed as a result.
This is a super example of how open source products can, when properly managed, be much, much more nimble than a lot of proprietary offerings. Look at the Longhorn delays. That's not going to come out until approximately the same time the Sun becomes a cold, dark chunk of coal (that's a joke, please don't flame me:) ).
The smaller, more flexible systems that are characterized by Linux-based OSes, however, can quickly adapt to all sorts of changes.
Well, the problem is that PDF documents are just not very suitable for online access because they are optimized for print, and they're big linear documents, and, therefore, they're not very good for search.
Thank you! I've been saying this for YEARS!
Web development should be about developing relevance and usability, not about putting every document you have on an HTTP server. PDF files are fine for e-mail, FTP, etc. where you pull them down and view them locally, but they just shouldn't be on the web. HTML was invented for a reason! Use it!
With web applications becoming more prevalent, this will give Apple a huge leg up on the competition which means other competitors like Microsoft or Macromedia will have to play catch-up. I think we're beginning to see that a lot more, recently. Microsoft and other proprietary vendors are falling back to vendors that are willing to embrace open source to move forward instead of just standing still and plugging more and more useless features into already overbloated software.
May not be exactly what the submitter intended for us to see, but it's better than nothing, plus it helps collect lots of different images all in one neat, tidy place!

They're trying to reel in this specific type of routing. I don't know that it will fly, but clueless judges on the bench have been known to rule on, oh, say, taking non-portable address spaces with you like a telephone number, so who knows.

Google Images, I suppose.
