Guess what, if the server goes down, you are screwed.
But what's more likely to go down or not be backed up properly? The average home PC owner's computer or an application in the data center? What about their setup prevents you from keeping the same memory stick backup?
"Hey, I can even try out this Mac OS X thing so that I can *really* make fun of my Mac-lover friends!"
How many people in the real world have a Mac-lover category of friends? It seems like a much larger stroke of genius to provide the windows API in OSX simultaneously overcoming Apple's greatest shortcoming of developer support while providing people an alternative to buying one of Microsoft's two huge revenue streams. It would be even better if OS X upgrades were much cheaper than a Windows one.
How? There's no microphone jack and by default it's a usb client. Will you reflash the device in USB host mode and use a USB mic with the correct adapter? Of course then you can't attach it as a flash drive, right?
A bluetooth microphone?
I guess everyone has different desires as far as the tradeoff between/dev/null'ing false positives and letting spam through, but I don't want my ISP doing any filtering of my content. If they want to tag it to help me identify it, OK. But otherwise I want to retain control of what makes it to me and what doesn't.
Can't you identify electrons from different shells? This is from classes long ago, but I thought for the first couple rows of the periodic table, that the s, p, and d shells were discernable?
An academic research lab just said they've created the first working prototype. I agree it's a safe bet to say that this has a long way to go to be practical and we won't see this in the wild in the "short-term"
I use the same layout, but I get files that could belong to more than one directory all the time. I'm not going to constantly adjust my hierarchy and recategorize all my files every time this happens. Organizing email like this also is a pain. Gmail does a pretty good job of letting your filters apply multiple labels to a single email. Basically the equivalent as putting the same email in multiple directories. I can see the benefit of the same functionality for my filesystem.
Now that it supports Firefox and Thunderbird, I've been thinking I'd give it a try.
I still don't understand how can Google be valued at over 100 billion USD.
~$400 / share * ~300 million shares outstanding = ~$120 billion. So why will people pay $400 / share? Forward P/E is ~1/2 of Trailing P/E. That shows a lot of expected growth. Not many places you can get that type of growth. Perhaps their valuation reflects the premium the market is willing to pay for such extreme growth.
A framework helps un-exceptional coders write better (and more consistent/maintainable) code.
I believe this is true if better coders than you have wrote the framework. Otherwise, it's really saving you the up-front time you would spend writing your own framework. But, if your own team is as good as the framework authors, they could probably write better code that is more closely aligned to your purposes given the time.
You have to give Intel credit for ruling the mobile CPU market. AMD doesn't even come close in this area.
But, 5 years ago AMD didn't come close anywhere. It seems more appropriate to give AMD credit for making up so much ground instead of giving Intel credit for holding onto market share in one area.
How about the HightPoint RocketRAID cards? The 1820a supports 8 SATA drives, supports 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X, but is PCI compatible and costs about $200. They have closed source linux drivers for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
Try installing a Linux distro with the executables normally found in/usr/bin placed somewhere else. How many makefiles have a default PREFIX and you have to override it, just like C:\Program Files\
Many of these things of course could be mitigated. There could be a standard lane change test to determine suspension quality, there could be rules on the center of gravity, there could be rules on bumper height (like on regular cars) and there could be rules on pollution, perheps making all SUV's except the kind with frugal modern common rail diesel engines (with particle filters) financially impposible to own/buy.
The car buying market in the US is pretty democratic. People buy what they want. We don't need more rules here to tell people what they "should" buy any more than we need more rules about televisions telling people what they "should" watch.
The reason the SUV-is-a-truck-not-a-car loophole that excludes them from bumper height and fuel economy exists in the first place is because of short-sighted rules. We don't need further rules that just leave new loopholes with age. Eventually the car manufacturing regulations would be like the tax code.
Lots of Dell computers no longer come with Office for "free". The come with Corel WordPerfect and Office Basic is $149. This is also what is costs to upgrade from Windows MCE to XP. That's a lot of money considering what computer you can get for $500.

How will it do VOIP w/o a microphone?
Ahh nothing like quoting a breakthrough cited by the Discovery Channel, network provider of "Psychic and Paranormal" programming

Can you give any sites for non-GSM phones? How about unlocked phones for Sprint or Verizon in the US?

From what I've read lately, Iran managed to conceal their nuke program for about 20 years before we could confirm its existence.
His proposal is to cut $15 billion on a $2.77 trillion budget. That 0.5%. Not sure why it's getting so much publicity.
