But there's nothing nefarious about it. They just want to make sure that they have control over what devices are accessing their network is all. They are very open about that when they ask you to sign the service agreement.
I was under the impression that it's because they utilize CDMA, rather than GSM, and so SIM cards are irrelevant to the discussion?
Unlike some people here, I've not bought Star Wars multiple times... I bought 3 of them on VHS which I later sold on ebay to recoup my money. Then I bought the Laserdisc-to-DVD from Lucas.
So, you haven't bought them multiple times... but you bought them twice?
Look harder next time. Put in your serial number and it'll tell you every part in your system.
Either that web page didn't exist at the time, or the folks at HP didn't know about it.
Same thing with Dell. Put in your express service code, then click "Original System Configuration." The information is out there you just need to look.
Yup. Like I said - At least it isn't too hard to figure out which one is right these days.
Those pages have existed for at *least* 7 years, because I recall using them during my fall semester in 2003 while working for the school's computer services group
My understanding of the reason that they reduced the number of reactors after the Enterprise was that anything that took even one of them out of commission was pretty much going to reduce it to fleeing and you don't need a grip of reactors for that. The plan for a carrier is for it to be well-defended enough to not need that kind of redundancy.
The Enterprise, as the first nuclear naval vessel, went with a very conservative design - they put in one reactor to replace each of the diesel engines on the previous design, ending up with 8 reactors.
I can't believe I'm defending these cretins, but I don't think they are getting government money. I believe they are getting tax breaks under a tourism promotion program. I hate to say it, but I think this is legal.
"separation of church and state" A) does not exist in the US Constitution. B, the amendment covering freedom of religion in the US Constitution says that congress will make no law surrounding it. Many states have, or had, "official" religions (in Massachusetts, it's congregationalism).
Don't *most* services automatically remove account that haven't been logged-into in more than X many days? And, if so, if the appropriate person wasn't handed the account credentials within that timeframe (say, 6 months), then the account is gone and any "pending business" would be gone, too.
According to my friend, at these high voltages most of the power is transmitted in the field surrounding the wire, not the wire itself.
There's something really frickin' scary about that.
I've seen live demonstrations of transmitting power through a garden hose (the rubber kind) wherein the power is actually transmitted in the field around the rubber which generated by using super-high voltages
\Turns out 1250km is a nice 1/4 wave number of 60Hz. So, they ended up with majority losses on the line. This is why long distance AC lines are a failure.
AC is more stable over distance because DC has to compete against natural differences in ground voltage, but DC is better for really long distances as it is theoretically nearly lossless while AC loses proportional to the length of the cable.
You can't reliably run AC through superconducting materials. (Not sure you can run it at all - every exposure I had with the materials required DC.)
The secret to surviving a deer is to drive a truck of 1/2 ton or heavier, with the optional 4X4 package that jacks the truck up a few inches so the deer doesn't go over the hood.
and what many police driving training classes teach, which is to tap the gas just before impact if you know you can't stop

And if the three dimensional space we're used to is sitting inside some type of higher dimensional universe, what is IT inside of?
In my experience, IT is usually inside the data center
it won't pass SCOTUS, even despite being stacked with conservative ideologues.
That's exactly WHY it would fail SCOTUS.
FWIW, I have a Makerbot Cupcake CNC
what does a CNC-made cupcake look and taste like? And really: how many parts can it take?
Verizon doesn't use SIM cards in general.

As the fourth largest company in the world, it has revenues that make companies like General Motors look like they're trading in junk bonds.
GM is owned (more-or-less) by the US gov't (and therefore, the citizens). So they ARE trading in junk bonds...
Anyone else find it funny that it's a penny cheaper to buy the two sets (and get extra packaging, to boot?

Seriously, /. editors? You couldn't fix the horrid grammar and have just "has worked closely with" or "has worked with closely"?
Perhaps. However in this case, I believe they felt burned by Lotus ...
If you're getting burned by your Lotus, maybe you should let the exhaust manifest cool off before touching it.

Not always; consider the red light district in Amsterdam. Photographs are strictly prohibited and you'd find yourself in a good deal of trouble.
congratulations, you've found a corner case that it's completely irrelevant and ridiculous. oh, wait...
Sounds like a bunch of corners to me

Well, since it took Noah 100 years all by himself, 10 years sounds pretty reasonable.

It Ran Skype pretty well most of the time... which is all I really cared about (beyond email)

\Turns out 1250km is a nice 1/4 wave number of 60Hz. So, they ended up with majority losses on the line. This is why long distance AC lines are a failure.
Why not move to a different cycle... say 50Hz?
AC is more stable over distance because DC has to compete against natural differences in ground voltage, but DC is better for really long distances as it is theoretically nearly lossless while AC loses proportional to the length of the cable.
You can't reliably run AC through superconducting materials. (Not sure you can run it at all - every exposure I had with the materials required DC.)
Yup. That won't buy you much in the way of cutting-edge superconductive wiring.
Won't even make you much in the way of dull-edge superconducting wiring (LTS or early generation HTS tape)
Yeah - the mammary gland cells weren't produced from scratch - just replicated
I wonder if they have a hive mind - could this be the first Beowool cluster?
If the sheep have a hive mind, wouldn't it be a Bee-O-Wool cluster?
