My grandmother has been looking for a cheap notebook with a full size display and keyboard that she can use while sitting in her easy chair. I think she needs an integrated or cheap TV tuner, too, for better viewing and listening.
I was going to recommend a Netbook, but the displays is are too tiny for her.
IC 35-45-2-5
Interference with the reporting of a crime
Sec. 5. A person who, with the intent to commit, conceal, or aid in the commission of a crime, knowingly or intentionally interferes with or prevents an individual from:
(1) using a 911 emergency telephone system;
(2) obtaining medical assistance; or
(3) making a report to a law enforcement officer;
commits interference with the reporting of a crime, a Class A misdemeanor.
As added by P.L.71-2002, SEC.1.
Right.
I really want to inundated with phone calls and emails from every person who visits my websites. Brilliant.
Some websites just aren't important enough to be worth paying money for lame stuff like certificates. It's a mafia: pay us or we'll frighten your users with misinformation.
Certificates are a broken idea; they need to be replaced with a system that actually works.
My Canon HF-11 camcorder is able to detect and display remaining battery capacity for genuine Canon batteries (perhaps due to extra circuitry, but refuses to even attempt to do so for non-Canon batteries. It beats locking them out like Panasonic is doing, though.
This should serve as a reminder to programmers everywhere to take pride in their work, and tidy up their code before declaring it finished. You never know who is going to read it later.
Legitimate companies, who you at least on some level opted-in to their list, will offer you a legitimate opt-out function. They have a reputation to uphold, and they may even want your business in the future.
Non-legitimate senders (ie: scammers) don't give a flip about you. They want money, period, and don't care who they hurt in the process. They have everything to gain, and little to lose by giving you a subscription function in place of the opt-out. Only an idiot does anything with these emails, other than sending a notice to their mail service provider.
In a well-ordered society, maybe such a mandate would work. But, the moment someone ignores it, everyone is in trouble. Well-placed nukes keep global politics polite.
How are they going to get the power from the windmills to the distribution point? High voltage lines lose a percentage of the power as heat. That heat would be radiated into the ocean. Global warming fanatics ought to be up in arms about this.
... or you can be a student and get it free through DreamSpark. I use it exclusively on my desktop right now. It's pretty nice, especially given the cost ($0).
Getting into Amateur Radio is easier than ever. The license tests are simple multiple-choice exams. The question pools are public. You can memorize all of the answers, which is standard practice.
The test is much easier than most college-level exams.
You can also take practice tests at QRZ.com, which is really helpful.
Are they willing to pay for all of the overtime required for all of the extra police officers needed to handle the additional crime caused by the lack of adequate lighting? Criminals love darkness because it greatly decreases their chances of being caught.
If you are paying more than $1.75 / cell, you are buying from the wrong place.
You can get them direct from Surfire for $1.75/cell and from BatteryJunction (Titanium) for $1.00 / cell.
Ah, liberal politics: Politicians deciding to spend other people's money on ideas that no business in its right mind would invest in, due to limited profitability. Billions of dollars of tax money being spend on something with extremely limited benefits, if any.
America is about individual effort toward success. The federal government's job is to act as the mortar that keeps the states together, and to handle international affairs. The government's job is not to be a charity. Charity is the job of the church and other non-profits. The federal government should do the minimum required, and the leave the rest to the state and local governments, and to private institutions.
Insurance rates are high because people who have the insurance don't use it properly. Why go to the clinic for the ear infection when you can just go to the nearest hospital emergency room and pay the same price? When the individual does not feel the price difference, that person does not make smart financial decisions.
Where is the incentive to go to college for eight years, internship, residency, fellowship, etc., when the prospective doctor knows that he will be told by a bureaucrat for the rest of his career what services he will perform for who, and how much money he will get for it. Where is the incentive to work hard and become the best surgeon alive, when he gets paid the same amount for the procedure as the next doctor? If you think HMOs are bad, just wait until you are dealing with the government!
How many here like going to the Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent name in your state)? Long lines, stupid people and rules, little individual attention? That's what your health care would be like, an assembly line. You get the same services as the next guy, unless you happen to know someone important.
For those that think we need a socialized public health care system, just look at the VHA. The federal government can't handle health care for veterans, how would it take care of every American?
Why would you want to take a very expensive and fragile airplane on the road and risk damaging it and making it not flyable? Not to mention that it can't possibly handle driving as well as a car.
No, evolution is not science. Limited "evidence" supports lots of things. If you don't have the full evidence, you don't have any. That's science.
I don't have a problem with creation not being taught in science class, so long as evolution isn't either. Save that stuff for philosophy class. Teach science in science class.

Any ideas?

Look ma! They made a transporter for my flash drives!
Isn't technology grand?!!!

He seems to be a big part of it already... why not name it after him?

I had to keep resetting the Hulu feed of the Fox broadcast. It was really annoying. It seemed to happen every 20-30 minutes, sometimes sooner.

This was previously known as the Ivus Lightning, which was announced at the SHOT Show a couple of years ago.

This sounds similar to the Federal Signal Rumbler system, which supplements existing sirens on a police car, and works like a subwoofer.
The Rumber has been available for quite a while now.
I hear old Bill is available, and he certainly has plenty of experience. We wouldn't even have to pay him!
(Kidding)

That isn't theft, it's robbery. They battered him and forced him to perform an action. This is no different than forcing someone to operate an ATM.

Evolution is philosophy, it is not science. Just because some scientists share a religion does not make that religion science.
If it does not comply completely with the scientific method it is not science.
Christians readily admit that Creation is not science, either. It is faith.
There are some things that logic and science are meant to explain. There are other things that only faith can.
