I think it has an option to do just that (Similar to what it does with movies), but given that I haven't used a photo-capable iPod for a while I may be wrong.
As far as I am aware USB2 is *really* recommended, if only for the speed of transfer. If you have a powered USB1 port it will still work fine, it's just that transfer will be slower.
I have had no issues using 4G, 5G or Nano iPods on USB1 (Other than slower, but still fast transfer).
Stopped updating their iPods because it was too much work? This I refuse to believe, you plug it in and iTunes syncs. If you don't like that behaviour, realise that iPod and iTunes is a duet which are designed to work with each other then go get a cheap and cheerful 'stick' you can just drag music onto.
I personally love the fact that I only have to keep my music organised in iTunes and my iPod updates every time I connect it, even including podcasts, calendar and contacts.
The other problem is this: where do you put masts in the middle of nowhere? The UK's national parks, such as the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, have *very* strict regulations about what can be built and unless your cell company can do something like get a mast put up in a church tower then there's not going to be any coverage.
OTOH if you're going to be travelling through small town America, can't get to a landline and *must* stay in touch then satphones are a good investment.
My apologies, I knew the US power grids were badly thought out but I didn't realise you hadn't got as far as making sure plants didn't succumb to the wrath of network intrusion detectors.
What did happen to the suggestion to implement a more EU style nationwide grid to better handle failures anyway?
It was damn easy to update my network's servers (Active Directory, Gateway, DHCP, local and cached DNS etc.) to IPv6, and that was with the tech preview tool. I see no reason for Vista to cause any headaches, and updating an entire corporate network along with every server on it is a simple sweep of a group policy from what I can remember.
I fail to see how an East coast blackout has anything to do with Windows's stability. Windows machines on enterprise UPS kept going just as well as Linux, likewise Linux desktops fell over just as quickly as the Windows ones. Power is kinda essential.
No, the majority of knowledgeable geeks will recognise that Windows, like Linux, BSD, OS X etc. has its place. Its place is currently on cheap off-the-shelf desktop machines, because OS X only ships on relatively expensive Macs and and *nix variety (Except for a couple of flavours) is generally intimidating and a bugger to use with no sense of continuity between applications. Whether you use one on your desktop over the other or not is irrelevant, until you can see that for most people Windows is fine and Linux is, for the most part, a server OS you are fucking annoying and should go away.
The way I see it, if you have anything on your network people are going to bother finding a MAC which is on your list to get to, then you should be implementing authentication security and not just relying on what is essentially a card going going "Hi, I really am this device."
I'd be happy with that providing the system always errs on the side of caution and lets you know about something if it's unsure.
For example, I'd want my phone to not ring between 11pm and 7:30am unless it was somebody in my 'close friends and family' group, because they only ring me during that time if they need me urgently, right now, yes I do need to wake you up.
Take a look at AirWave O2, which is the service used by police in the UK. Not only is each handset on a common channel, but they can also be individually dialled, and as a result put into groups. It's not WiFi, but it works.
Ambulance services are starting to hook into AirWave as well, and from what I've seen when working as a volunteer medic at live events (100,000+ people) the difference between talking to your local team, talking to the site team and talking to police on the site team is as simple as hitting a button.
I must say I've noticed {{fact}} springing up all over the damn place recently. It's hard [citation needed] to read most of an article [citation needed] without seeing them.
Nobody is denying that his death is a sad state of affairs for many people, let alone his family who will be going through the obvious trauma of losing someone close to them. What they are doing is applying humour to the situation. If there's anybody I can imagine coming out with a witty line about getting a stingray barb to the chest, it's Steve Irwin.
Nobody is laughing at him except in the eyes of a few people. Many of us are choosing to remember him by what he did.
That said, I agree with your Jackass comment, which is a blatent failure of humour.
What gets me is that these are council owned bins. Note council owned, meaning the council own them and can therefore fit RFID tags to them all they see fit.
Not only this, but if you check the literature involved in refuse collection services you will note that it says you are liable to be charged anyway if you throw more than a reasonable amount of rubbish.
I have no objection to the council checking how much rubbish I put through their service. I don't even object to them working out what type of rubbish it is (Plastic, glass, paper, kitchen waste etc). Once it gets to itemising my rubbish it's gone too far, but if all they're doing is looking at usage patterns it's fine by me. Much like I don't care if websites track what I use to visit, where I go etc.
Likewise. Even on clean installs (I keep a disc with no crud and all the latest patches slipstreamed in) hibernate and sleep are touch-and-go at the best of times. Generally it hangs at the 'revive' stage. It also plays silly buggers with docking and undocking, and can't seem to survive between the two without a reboot even if I use the undock function.
What gets me about OS X is that not only is it easy and solid for end users, it's also easy and solid for home admins. I've seen people with no previous experience set up a whole family with accounts (and appropriate settings) on a Mac simply by following the prompts. And they still couldn't break it.
Windows and some Linux flavours (Ubuntu has a nice one) have cottoned on to multi-user in the home, but still is a bit wobbly on the admin side. Vista's new user admin seems to be almost OS X in simplicity (With scary user tracking options), so I'll have to see how that works in the field.
Your MSDN key (For XP in this case) is unique to you, and must be specifically requested. It's good for activation on up to 10 machines in theory, though i've personally used mine for 14 or so. Perhaps he'd run out of activations and there was an obscure bit of the system which flagged it as pirate?
That said, he's breaking the ToS anyway if he's using an MSDN key as his personal machine. You can use them for development machines (Hence the D = Developer) but not for commercial or personal use.
This is why I'm all in favour of a lot of user notice about a new version (Incidentally, my Firefox updated itself last night and was quite insistant on restarting). If 80% of IE users (Figure pulled from my ass) are notified about a new update, and 70% of those update it because it's just another box to click OK to, then based on IE being an 87% browser share that's 49% of all users updated to use sensible CSS in the first wave. Over a few months many more people will upgrade, until IE6 and below are left with a browser share small enough to be 'fringe' for which you push out a simplified stylesheet.

Sadly, so is Google.
does my head in as well. It remembers every other preference except that one.
After initial playing around, my 4G still has a gap. Dammit.

You instead need to buy the adaptor which connects to the PS3 using... uhh...

Is it a multiple user hub though, or is it tied to one hub/dongle pair?
I suggest we start using a new 'buzzwordbingo' tag for articles of this nature.
