Ha! You think these things were invented THIS century? You're going to go back a bit further than that.
"In 1992, GRiD released another tablet PC called the GRiD 2260 Convertible. This version now had better software/application support in the form of the Windows for Pen Computing operating system. It used a 386 processor in its base model or a 486 processor in its pricier configuration. The GRiD 2260 also had an attached keyboard that swung on hinges and could be clipped around back. "
Does it? Does the T91 take a completely different approach to computing? Really? What is this marketing fluff?
It's a touchscreen. We've seen that. It spins around. We've seen that (GRiD 2260 anybody? Ruggedized convertable laptop from 1992. Incidentally, only eBay auction I ever got screwed on, but it was resolved) It's small. Damn sure we've seen that. Were touchscreen laptops ever that big of a deal? They were The Next Big Thing a few years ago but never got the impression people liked them that much.
Maybe I'm not 100% clear on what 'a completely different approach to compting' looks like (why I'm here, doing what I'm doing, and not out buying my new car for the day), but I'm pretty sure the T91 isn't it.
Has anybody else noticed the use of moms in banner ads?
From one site alone, I'm given to understand that a mom has discovered the secret to weight loss, a startling new method of teeth whitening, and revealed to us the miracle of the a'cai berry. I guess this is why Obama wants them to return to college (online college, naturally).
What gives? Targeting a new market? Playing off the old 'mom knows best'? An extension of the old advertising strategy where the man is an idiot but his wife has all the answers?
"What's the half-gram of Bolivian Marching Powder for?" "Have YOU ever tried to cut a key with a piece of wood and a knitting needle? I'm surprised it only took two tries!"
"So this is basically the Music Genome Project", in that sort of 'I know something you don't know' offhand way so in vogue around here, when I went to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Genome_Project.
Apparently to do their analysis MANUALLY and it takes up to 30 minutes per song, which I did not know! Assumed it was automatic.
Counter Strike is fun, but playing de_dust2 all day isn't going to amass funds to charter a helicopter to come pick you up. Build the next hot weapon or sex toy, and you'll be out of there in time for the weekend.
The average player, by default, can't push too much money around. For businesses and currency traders, you can request tiered levels of increased limits. How, otherwise, would these 'top of the pyramid' land barons pay for a couple dozen islands a month tier, if they couldn't reasonably get a dozen or two K a month out?
Looking at the withdrawl/outgoing maximums for each class: Resident class: $5,000/month Business class (Level 4 of 4): $30,000/day or $320,000/month Enterprise class (Level 4): $60,000/day or $1,280,000/month Currency Trader (Level 4): $40,000/day or $1,280,000/month
These arrangements aren't automatic, so take a request to The Lindens to get cleared for. Obviously too much work for our author, for whom *looking at the webpage* was either too much effort, or too damaging to his case.
Easy there, scout...see my post above yours: You CAN'T destroy property in Secondlife. You can't even kill people in any meaningful sense. Sorry, you're going to have to be a worthless hooligan elsewhere. For your purposes, Secondlife still sucks. It sucks hard.
The FN must have given up and left. You can't 'level the digital buildings'. There's very little, if anything, you can do to other peoples objects in SL, and certainly not on their own land. The landowner or the person in charge of the land group must not have been there, paying attention, or clued in to his own power to disable object rezzing, disable scripts, disable push, disable flight, ban, freeze, eject, etc etc. And that's just the built-in land tools, and not even getting into third-party security systems, which would be more difficult to overwhelm with numbers than a human op (The comparison of an SL parcel owner to an IRC op is apt in terms of power over their domain).
Yes, it's called the "You don't HAVE to do any merit badges you don't want to do." merit badge. The one requirement is you DON'T DO THE BADGE. It's a total gimmie, it's great. Nobody is holding a gun to some kids head to do the badge.
My prediction: If it's easy, scouts will do the badge. You don't have to believe in it, you just have to do it, and damn if there's nothing better than an easy merit badge for that extra Eagle palm or whatever.

(emphasis mine) That's just their first convertable. Their first tablet was the Gridpad 1900 in 1989. http://everything2.com/title/GRiD%2520Computer%2520Systems

Anything out there for XFS? Like...at all?

Eh, eh! Mrs. Slocomb could read two pages of the Times at once if she opened it up and sat down on it!

Niche markets.
They have, after all, no highs or lows.
I don't think so, Tim.

We can identify poop with DNA but we still can't dust for vomit.
Yikes. You need to relax. Go kick back with some Goatse and a beer and mellow out!
I don't get it. What do YOU think will happen?
All I can see is a company gets a black eye, blames the whole thing on 'those evil hackers', and sends a potentially cool technology away forever.
And if the first thing you think of when you think of porn is 'Goatse', man, I'm sorry.
Old Arabic word for 'infiltrate'. I'd expect a phone call pretty soon.
It's full of stars!
(What. It's not NOT full of stars, kind of.)
My KVM switch uses Scroll Lock as the trigger key. People do use it for things, even if it's only rarely to freeze a scrolling buffer.

Yeah, guess I've heard about that happening in such as rental apartment buildings, when somebody rezzes too much stuff and yours disappears.
Stand corrected!
