How long does it take to charge, and wouldn't you have to leave it somewehre with a constant air flow? Like, outside, or in front of a fan, or does it strap to your side so it uses the breeze when you walk?
I can just imagine someone talking and their battery's about to die, and all the other person on the other end hears is "Wait, my phone is dying...hold on a sec *blowing sound* Ok, now where were we..*blowing sound*...Oh yes, about the *blowing sound*..."
We "bash" Bush because he is doing a bad job as a president.
An opinion of yours, one that I do not share.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the populous is still ignorant of the facts, so he got reelected
The facts? Ok. About WMD in Iraq, see here. For a LONG time the US knew that Saddam was hiding weapons. Before Bush even took office, Kerry was talking about WMD and Saddam.
Instead of trying to tout this as Bush lying, you SHOULD take a look at the evidence, which says that THERE WERE WMD IN IRAQ before we got there (He had them, and used them on the Kurds.), ask yourself, where the hell did all Saddam's WMD go? Maybe Syria?
Yes actually, because YOU have to install it. IMHO, if the EULA mentions installing adware and you still install it, then that software is legitimately on your machine. It's not any different than any other software you install. Quit being so dead set against software authors making a buck off their creations.
GAIN acually happens to be one of the less malevolent pieces of adware. It does not install itself, it doesn't do pop-ups, it doesn't hijack your machine. It's a legit piece of advertising that software authors use to make money off their programs. (Kazaa for example) If you don't want it, read your EULA's before installing those free screen savers.
Commercial site? You mean you pay for weather info? What about Weather.com? Wunderground.com? Or the govt website NOAA.gov? Or hell, turn on the radio at the top of the hour and listen to the weather.
I've been running the latest greatest Firefox, and frequent the sites mentioned with the problem. I haven't had any issues with pop-ups, at all. The thing I think that keeps em down is that I run javacoolsoftware.com's Spyware Blaster. One of the features is that it blocks ad urls, which I believed was mentioned in the article as a way to stop the ads.
I've had Maxtors, Western Digitals, and IBM HD's run for years, with pretty much constant use. None have crapped out yet. Might wanna check out hte rest of your machine to see what's killing your drives.
Not to rag on you, but in general people should try to be more informed. If something doesn't make sense, find the information. Obviously a store isn't going to leave it up to "good citizenship" to cause people to return their DVDs. It would make me wonder.
Anyway, get your stuff back in time and you won't have to worry about it. I procrastinated bringing a DVD back to them once for 5 days...$15 down the drain. Oh well. This new program would have saved me some money. Don't view this program as an extra 7 days, but as a 7 day grace period to get it back.
I believe that it has something to do with licensing the movie. I don't think you can go rent out a copy of a dvd you buy at Wal-mart. But I may be wrong. That's just what I was thinking.
It was the saddest piece of film I've ever seen. Mainly because the whole film is just him taking news clips and dubbing over them with his own commentary, hardly any of which was factual. It wasn't well done. It sucked. I've seen better documentaries come out of high school film classes. He had two motives. One, he despises Bush. Second, he recognized a cash cow when he saw it. Make an anti-Bush "documentary" and sell it to the anti-war crowd. The guy got rich off it.
If you'd like to see how inaccurate, misleading, and trumped up the film was, just watch Faren-hype 9-11.
I suppose there are a great many of us in the US who do understand, but don't really care, what the rest of the world thinks. Especially when the rest of the world whines about global warming and does nothing to cut their emmissions. Kyoto's a failure...there's a post further up the page I read about that.
Consider this. The world has ALWAYS, and will ALWAYS, be heating or cooling. At NO TIME in it's history has it ever been one steady temperature. Ice ages come and go. Always warming and cooling.
Perhaps people in the US refuse to accept human causes of global warming because we in the US are truly the more open minded. Don't believe everything you're told.
First off, something I always thought would be cool is to have a digital picture frame. But the ones that I see a lot today just plain suck. Too thick and monitor-ish. If these looked like paper, it would be ez to make a digital pic frame out of it, and it would look good. Shoot, the things are cheap and sturdy, you could send grandma one in the mail, and not have to worry about losing the image.
A cool device that I would like to see, if this is thin enough, is an ebook device that actually looks like a book with pages, but each of the pages is a sheet of this stuff that contains a different piece of literature, and you could have like a USB hookup where the binding of hte book would normally be for syncing with a computer.
I don't know how thin this stuff is, but it would rock to have a lightweight monitor that you could hang on your wall. I know, LCD's already do that, but this stuff seems way cooler.
A device that you could draw on, and it would look good! And have good battery life! Like a digital drawing board or artists pad.
I'd imagine that there would be a clear screen button. If not, you at least could have a hotkey on your kb to switch to a picture of a puppy or something.
NCD technology uses electrodes made of nanostructured films of semiconducting metal oxides with a self assembled monolayer of electrochromic viologen molecules to overcome these issues.
The article didn't mention this, or I didn't see it, but wouldn't using lasers instead of wires really use a lot of power? Epecially when you start using a lot of them. But then again, maybe these are really low powered lasers and don't take much power at all. Anyone have any ideas or know anything about wires vs lasers?

Can they get sued when people drop their phones, or lose an arm while holding it out the window?
Only if it's because you're riding with an evil driver who rolls up the window on you.

I have this thing I do called sleep. When I get done with that, I go this other thing called a job.

I like the way you talk. :)
That would be like someone spouting the same my-gy-lost-so-bash-Bush nonsense that's been going around for 3 years...oh wait...the parent poster!

Well I for one welcome our patented Microsoft SmartTag overlords!

It was an excellent piece of filmmaking

Some of us weren't here the first time it was posted. I haven't seen it before, and find it very interesting. Thank you very much.

If you don't want to read dupes, don't read them!
That's a pretty big f'n accounting error.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking so much feasability as just how cool it would look..the artistic aspect as you put it.
This is true.

Cheaper, longer lasting battery life PDA's!
Ditto for cell phones!
And probably a whole bunch of other things!

NCD technology uses electrodes made of nanostructured films of semiconducting metal oxides with a self assembled monolayer of electrochromic viologen molecules to overcome these issues.
Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense!

Now all we have to do is be using our laptops outside and have a laser hit an airplane going over head to have Homeland Security all over us. /humor
