Happens all the time. GM bought a couple of cars when Lexus brought out their first model to *study* them.
"Approximately 5 percent of 1989 LS 400 sales went to buyers employed by rival manufacturers, including GM, Ford, and Chrysler.[136] When the LS 400 was disassembled for engineering analysis, Cadillac engineers concluded that the vehicle could not be built using existing GM methods."
Who's to say they're carbon based? (or need water)
Life *as we know it* might be unique to our planet, but life could have chosen a different path elsewhere. With all the planets just within our own galaxy, it's very unlikely we're alone.
"I mean, why? Why rearrange everything and trash the user interface? There's no reason for it. I don't understand. I can't process the idea that they just go in and trash everything for no reason.
Old debate, but analog video would at least be watchable (like analog vs DTV reception). Digital is nice and all, but it's all or nothing. Or they could have added error correction (what was the codec BTW?)
I'm wondering how many of those parts could be made on a standard CNC, and if they only use the printers for parts that would be too hard to machine with conventional processes.
Modifying something in Perl without having ever used the language. The only background I have in programming is 65xx BASIC (Apple ][e and C64) along with 65xx and 6809 assembler in the late '80s/early '90s.
I remember those. My dad used to have (I'm pretty sure he probably still has it) a 41CV. I thought thew card reader was integrated, but according to Wikipedia it seems it used one of the expansion slots.
Many cars sold today are so integrated with the radio that it makes it very expensive to replace the radio (that is if you can fit a standard radio in the dash)
I used to drink when playing Quake 2 and UT with my clan. The goal was not to get too drunk, but just enough to be a real Kamikaze. Weed also enhances creativity as many artists will confirm.
Yes they do, but they're still offering ridiculous quotas in the first place. Other ISPs are able to offer much larger quotas, why can't Bell and Videotron? 60GB/month is not enough for people using streaming services such as Netflix.
We already have something like that in Quebec. Everything bigger than 4.0 gets a 10$/.1 liter tax. So my 4.6 used to cost me 60$ more annually for the car's registration.
It is kinda flawed since the oil burning 1987 Civic with a 1.6 didn't pay anything but was polluting *way* more than my 4.6, but it's a start.
Slashdot Mirror
Not talking about features, but the way it's built, output quality, and durability.
"are now also banned from 'pre-ticking' optional extras"
Now do the same for free software ?
Sure, because all power supplies are created equal, right?
Like a 29$ walmart DVD player is built the same as 150$ one.
Tell that to g5 iMacs, intel iMacs, all powerbooks, all macbooks, the mac mini, and ibooks

Taking cues from Microsoft?
At the rate they're going, they'll probably emulate IE's look by version 40 (around next week)

Sure, just make sure to use torpedoes instead of phasers if entering a wormhole when there's an engine imbalance
When there's an ATM fraud in a customer's account, the customer is accounted responsible for his own account.
Replace them with what party? Liberals?
Sure. 65 new planes will make us last 20 minutes instead of 11 if they decide to invade us.
I called a relative living about 30 miles away from montreal, Rogers wants $0.35/minute for that call. (I'd love to see the cost for that call)

You are aware of course that about every ISP already has those capabilities, right?

This will only give a false sense of security. How many files are present in standard XP that *will not* be patched?
Yes they can. put two 55" TVs side-by-side (one 1080 one 4k), and you will see the difference, even from 10 feet. (If the source material is 4k)

As for Bell, I agree with you...
