I'd vote for (3) Responsibility without authority. You have a whole city full of "important people" and political hacks who believe that rules and procedures are only for the little people.
Or put a windmill on the roof of the car to generate the electricity to crack the water into H and O2. You just have to push the car up to 30 mph to get the process running then jump in!
The TI OMAP850 has an ARM9 in it for the application processor and an Edge radio. Everyone blasts Apple for coming out with Edge on the iPhone, but since this is Google it's OK?
Actually, for Edge, the OMAP1030 is the current TI solution, but it has only a single ARM9 for the radio and application processing.
Then that ISP shouldn't be selling 1 Mbps 'unlimited' connections to 1000+ customers and then complain when people actually *use* the bandwith *they are paying for*. That's false advertising.
Virtually ALL telecom infrastructure is oversubscribed. If everyone on a particular central office picked up their phone at the same time, probably only about 50% (made up statistic) would get a dial tone. If enough people were camped on a cell tower and hit 'send' at the same time, some of them would not have their call go through. Do any of these services mention this in their ads?
I'm not saying that this is OK, but it's not just the cable companies that do this. To do otherwise would incur a hugh cost in infrastructure that would be unused 99.99% of the time.
Ah, yes, proof by anecdote. Of all the forms of proof, this is second only to proof by intimidation (a.k.a. proof by stating personal opinion as fact) in its effectiveness.;-)
(BTW: "adrenaline" is a brand name for one particular company's epinephrine. It is not a chemical name. Calling ephinephrine "adrenaline" is like calling all automobiles "toyotas".) Wikipedia disagrees with that:
Although widely referred to as adrenaline outside of the US, and the lay public worldwide, the USAN and INN for this chemical is epinephrine because adrenaline bore too much similarity to the Parke, Davis & Co trademark adrenalin (without the "e") which was registered in the US. The BAN and EP term for this chemical is adrenaline, and is indeed now one of the few differences between the INN and BAN systems of names.
Amongst US health professionals, the term epinephrine is used over adrenaline. However, it should be noted that universally, pharmaceuticals that mimic the effects of epinephrine are called adrenergics, and receptors for epinephrine are called adrenoceptors.
On behalf of your poor coworkers...stop doing that. I can't stand the morons in my company that can't distinguish between the reply and reply all buttons.
True story. At a company where I was working a few years ago, the HR/Training person sent out a company-wide email inviting everyone to a brown bag lunch seminar on using Outlook. A co-worker replied that he didn't think he could attend.. but hit 'reply-all' instead of just 'reply'. Seems he needed the seminar more than he thought he did.:-)
I almost got some malware from autorun off a thumb drive, fortunately the anti-virus recognized it and stopped it from running. When that happened, I looked for a surefire way to turn off autorun (and autoplay) but all I found was a bunch of registry edits that may or may not (according to different accounts) turn off autorun/autoplay. Why is there no global option in a Windows control panel for that?
Your coding style is leaking into your prose. Your parenthetical phrases look like function calls.:-)

I have a similar problem. Sometimes if find 'jjjkkk' (and other vi commands) in my Word docs.
The general usability and responsiveness was also much worse on the cheap upconverter.
Might I ask, was that a Toshiba unit? I bought a Toshiba a few years ago and had nothing but trouble with it. Push the drawer open button (on the remote or the front panel) and nothing... push it again and it would open then close!. It just recently died and I promised myself I'd never get another Toshiba DVD player. Bought a Sammy 1080P for $79 and so far it's been great. Better picture and it actually responds to the button presses!
Back in the day, CompUSA was a decent place to buy computer parts.
I remember going to the original Soft Warehouse on Marsh Lane in Addison Tx. Going there on a Saturday was a real experience. The store was small and it was usually shoulder-to-shoulder in there.
Back then that had this thing in Dallas called 'First Saturday' where vendors an and average geeks would get together off Ross Ave early on the first Saturday of the month. I think it probably started out as a ham radio thing, then evolved into more of a computer thing.
Anyway, usually by noon the First Saturday activity would be wrapping up and folks would migrate to places like Soft Warehouse to finish the feeding frenzy.
I saw several reports that folks who installed leopard using the 'Upgrade' method had some problems. Those that did the Archive and Install method seemed to fare better. Skimmed through the article but didn't see anything about which he did.
Seems like he's more interested in complaining than figuring out what the problem is.
In fairness, Apple should probably encourage users to do the Archive/Install method for.0 releases, maybe even go so far as to disable the Upgrade option for those.
Yeah, let's pay to SELL OUT our students! What a brilliant idea. If some BANK came to your school, and said hey we'll help out a bit with your accounting department functions if you will just make sure all your students use our BANK, you'd look at them like they were insane. However when it comes to selling out students to be captive CONSUMERS of a big evil email vendor, people see few problems. Can't you see the business of MS and Google is NOT EMAIL?
Zippy, is that you?
YOW!! What should the entire human race DO?? Consume a fifth of
CHIVAS REGAL, ski NUDE down MT. EVEREST, and have a wild SEX WEEKEND!
As for illegality...yep...I live in the USA...so no laws preventing it here.
Hmm. Maybe no laws, per se, but the carrier would be within their authority to ban your phone if they find out the IMEI has been changed. The IMEISV has the software version embedded in it; the carriers require that the software be type approved.
Slashdot Mirror
There, fixed that for you.
... most Windows exploits are found simply because Windows is _everywhere_ in the real world.Good enough reason to run a non-Windows OS, I think.
Stoplights could be a problem, though.
I think you meant inherent. You know, as in "Correcting errors of slashdot posters is an inherent behavior of a grammar nazi."

Except that those types of missiles depend on fins and wings for steering. How well would that work in space?
I got the wrong link for the OMAP1030

I thought I was the only one who called it that! My family would always groan when I called it that.

You know that old saying:
You never really learn to swear until you learn how to drive.
I think that needs to be:
You never really learn to swear until you learn how to drive or use computers.
Hmm. Maybe no laws, per se, but the carrier would be within their authority to ban your phone if they find out the IMEI has been changed. The IMEISV has the software version embedded in it; the carriers require that the software be type approved.
Whether or not they would is another question.
