the main thing the USAF do, is dial in the time corrections to stop the satelites time drifting out of sync with our own time (this would cause them to be off by around 4km in a day if we didnt do the time sync) [see: BBC Horisons - Do you know what time it is], the thing is, this is done manually right now. surely there must be an algorithm that could work out what the new time code needs to be and automatically sync the satelites.
i dont have "free will" really, since i cant walk out of my door now and suddenly start to float. i cant just suddenly become heavier. i cant suddenly just start a nuclear chain reaction within myself by firing my own cells at each other. what we see as "free will" is our brains gathering all the known facts and variables and creating a set of paths possible to take, and then narrowing those down to the one most likely to do us best. though you might think your making a concious decision, the decision has already been made several seconds before you thought you made it.
with particles, it is the same, they are bound by a certain set of facts and variables, the only difference is, there are far fewer facts and variables limiting the particles movement. though for forces that come from these can be far stronger.
winmo 5 is like win98, and winmo6.1 is like win7.... they are worlds apart... also, if your going to use windows mobile, dont use it on a motorola, your going to get a bad experiance if you use awful hardware. for windows mobile, always use a HTC based device. and yes, 6.1 does have copy paste. i have a sony ericsson XPERIA X1, and the phone hasnt locked up once, you can close background apps from a menu on the "today" screen. signal strength updates quite well, as with GPS and bluetooth, only 2 things the phone can do when a call is coming in is answer it or reject it, and these buttons are completly exclusive buttons (reject can be set to reject and do... where it does something after rejecting it, ie send to voice mail). to power down the device, you simply hold in the power button for 4 seconds as with a standard pc, bluetooth is one of the stronger things on the phone, i managed to lock onto a signal through 3 concreat walls and have a fast enough transfer rate to send about 100mb worth of images in a time where it didnt seem like it was "taking the piss". on top of that, all the features people have asked for on the iphone, including the open software operating system (Windows CE is now, well, shared source, its the same, you can do wtf you want with it as long as you dont claim it to be your own) and totally open API system which is similar to windows its self, so pretty much anyone who is already a windows dev can code for it, and you can code for it on a mac, linux or windows... you arnt tied into buying one of those white pieces of shit and paying to be a developer to write code for your phone.
what you get when you include all these things into iPhoneOS 3.0 is exactly what we already have with Windows Mobile 6.1, and it works brilliantly, without bugs, without crashes, and, the entire thing is open and fully documented.
this test is pretty much all bollocks... unless the SAME machine was used, and not similar machines (2 machines with the same parts isnt even good enough), then the results are not valid.
you would also need to enroll a non-bias 3rd party to conduct the test, using a non-biased software.
this is a copout reason. the kid said this because he is below the age of criminal responsibility, and saying "i got it from a game" pretty much makes him innocent. and also removes quite a lot of blame and possible charges from the parents. same reason why criminal gangs bring in very young kids to carry their guns for them. if the kid gets caught "i found it, and i thought it would make me like [character Y in game X]".
i saw somebody mention disney earlier on. am i correct in thinking, since walt disney died in 1966, according to current EU law, the images of characters such as micky mouse and donald duck will enter the public domain in december of 2036 in the EU (70 years after death) and 2026 in the USA (95 years after initial copyright)?
many of the victims of these sorts of things are victims of their own stupidity or greed. if a normal person gets an email letting them know they have a problem with their bank account, with a bank they dont bank with, in a country they dont live in, where the bank is asking for their card details to make sure they are fine... said person would delete the email and do nothing more about it. people who get scammed will send off their card details thinking "ohh, the bank of america opened an account for me" or, "i wonder if some american left me all their money". it generally is their own fault. there is only the odd case where anything has actually happened that doesnt involve the victims stupidity or greed.
is this simply a spec that people expect ati and nvidia to conform to? or is this another api outside of CUDA and CAL, that wraps the two up so that a single api can execute code on all GPGPU's?
how would this work? since to access my hard drive to search it, they would need.
1. me to be on the internet at the time they want to search my drive. 2. my to give them access to my machine via a remote desktop style connection, which would involve me giving them a username and password to my machine.
or
1. me to be on the internet at some point 2. mandating that EVERYONE in the EU runs an application that indexes the entire of all the hard drives connected to a machine, and transmits the index to a central location whenever an internet connection is made.
unless they are simply on about remote searching of their own networks, and their own drives... which they can already do...
is this a scare tactic for apple to push some payfor software and get people to buy it. or have apple started to loose confidence in their operating system? or even worse, do they know something we dont? are they expecting an attack?

they could make it... well... good?
slashdot still purpousfully broken in IE...

why was Natasha Richardson taken from us, yet this asshole is still around?

they only apply if you run x86-64, ie, dual mode cpus... strip away all ability to run 32bit instructions, amd are set.
ok then, pure amd64 cpu's? would most likly be a the best idea....
i hope they do, and AMD start producing cheap reliable PowerPC chips so we can all move over to a decent platform.

could also do a robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
no indexing means no being found by anyone who doesnt know its there.
xperia x1 ftw
yet another meaningless statistic of "Program X runs better on System Y because driver Z is faster on said system"..
i r attention seeking
through nexflix, you licence (rent) the content, read your terms....
if you want to talk about monolithic, do-it-all library architecture... lets talk about glibc. does far far far more than any libc is needed to do.
windows. going open source....? hahahaha
whoever thought that this would happen is truly, indescribably stupid.

come back when you have done your tests properly
