Last time I used my induction stove to cook water for noodles, I put the power to max, all the while listening to music on my iphone via headphones. You know, those standard apple headphones with microphone and volume controls. Right when I put the power to max, the music went off. Turns out the volume was set to minimum. So I tried to restore the volume via touch controls, but it went to minimum immediately, again. I already had experience with malfunctioning apple headphones (cable short-circuit) so I unplugged them, which helped. Then I noticed that the proximity to the cooktop had an effect. Apparently the induction pattern induced the same signal in the headphone cables that a volume down would produce...
Anybody with a Bosch induction stove and an iPhone/iPod should try to confirm this.
The problems lies in right management. Vista is pretty stable - only if you use it in lock down mode as a user with limited rights. As long as you use it with an admin account though, things can go wrong very soon.
As single user on a machine, people tend to use an admin account though, since it makes installing stuff etc. not as long-winded. UAC is a good idea, except that it comes way too often and makes people get annoyed so they don't even thing when they click on OK. Similarly, on OS X, we have password prompts, which don't occur as often, but also guarantees authorization. You can also authorize yourself as an admin even when the current session is from a limited user.
which is also the exact thing that i do. both my desktop (winxp) and my macbook are put into standby/sleep when im done using. both take two seconds to wake up and even the desktop draws less than one watt.
so... let me recap this whole thing. i stated an experience of mine related to the topic. you actually didnt have anything valuable to add to this, so instead, you decided to doubt my credibility by pointing out grammar mistakes to elevate your self-esteem?
you might not understand this, but sometimes, people omit things like punctuation and capitalization by choice. if you think its smart of yourself to have pointed this out, good for you.
must be jealousy, seeing how i had no incidents on my macbook the last two years, but had to reinstall windows almost every half a year on my windows based desktop. and thats when i use my macbook more than 80% of the time.
seriously though, the largest part of laptops i see at my university (i study computer science) are macbooks. students usually arent that rich, but we usually know what we need more than the usual lets-buy-an-asus-laptop guy.
isnt that typical? chinese live on the other side of the world. the US (i take that most slashdotters are from the US) couldnt care less.
this is exactly why the burmese government is afraid to accept foreign help after their catastrophe. while humanitarian organizations just want to help, the governments behind those organizations want to judge. if you really want to help, brush aside political issues for a while.
and i really get the impression that slashdot mostly consists of attention whores who just want to top eachother with cruel jokes and sadistic comments.
I hope some day they get their wish, or hope they make the occupation so incredibly lethal and painful for the butchers of Beijing that they finally leave. If that means some of those precious Han invaders get roasted in the process, well, that's the price you pay for stealing someone else's country. i wish you died in 9/11.
you got nothing but brainwashed by media, prejudices all over the place.
people like you have no right to judge about other people or country.
you didnt get his point. he is saying that the exile tibetan government is not as saintly as everybody is picturing them to be. by far not.
and shame on you for actually criticizing that chinese bloggers get to express themselves.
gee, i wonder how much fox news and cnn omitted of the whole tibet issue and what twisted image they are painting of china to make you think like this.
i strongly support this position. it just seems to be easier to dismiss unfavorable opinions based on the origin of the person who is voicing those opinions. common fallacy.
one-sided news reports and information is just as bad as censorship/fabricated news. most chinese people know that their media bends the truth. i wonder how many americans knows that about their fox news and cnn.
meh. CNN just shows the bad side because thats what people want to hear. i mean, if CNN said that it was just to calm a violent riot (timed to disrupt the olympics), the story would be short and not as juicy as it is now.

who is actually forcing you to use google products?
what's preventing you porting your own - opensource - libc?
so how many people actually used or even know about this GP32?

I remember reading about a robot called TriKiTrain at a college in Austria a while ago.

Of course, it's in German. I didn't find any english articles on it, but google translator might help.

you lack the correct common sense to make me believe your horizon stretches further than the english speaking part of the world.
also, challenging somebody's grammar in a discussion makes your point what? valid?
i dont think so.
maybe you dont even study anything technical, which would explains a lot.

yeh. ever heard of education discounts on Macs? guess you NEVER did.
moon landing with Apollo 11 is FAKE!

what you are suggesting there is TERRORISM.
i see what you did there.
using different words makes a genocide seem so much more acceptable.
how can you justify starving a minority to death by forcefully moving them by "lack of foresight"?
and how do you actually justify forceful resettlement in the first place?
you, sir, have double standards.

so when the election says that tibets want to stay chinese, the western media can blame on election fraud and the high han population?
because a lot of those statements are proven to be wrong. and a lot of things are omitted. resulting in biased media.

you sure missed the irony in my post.
i do believe that the quality of life and average income of a tibetan is higher than under a feudal and theocratic rule under the dalai lama.
