I propose a sg3000 law that states any time Bush's policies are brought into a discussion the discussion is finished and whoever mentioned his policies automatically loses.
I'm guessing you've never used any of the current PDA/Phone offerings available today. With my 8125 (functionally identical to the new 8525, and very very similar to almost everything else in that area like the iPhone) pressing the power button puts the phone to sleep. While "asleep" it will "wakeup" whenever it receives a text message, phone call, or downloads an email (if I have it set to check for e-mail like this fella did).
If I really want to put my phone off I have to hold the power button down for ~3-5 seconds and then press yes on a confirmation prompt... which happens to be the exact same method the iPhone uses.
I don't know about you but when I want to remove a "start menu" item from Ubuntu I dont have to click thru 2 different confirmations unlike Vista. Thats a prime example of making people so used to clicking "OK" on confirmations that it undermines the whole security effort.
It seems backwards to me since I live in Oklahoma which is generally filled with incompetent people. But the way we vote in my area is a nice piece of paper and a black marker. I live in a fairly small town (~40k people) where various issues have won and lost by a single vote. The votes are optically scanned on site so results are available pretty much as soon as the polls close, but even if there was an issue recounts never took more than an evening.
Besides being able to easily confirm votes its also almost impossible to screw up voting. If you cant draw a black line to connect the arrow next to your choices name.. then the problems are greater than just voting.
This sounds too cool to be true. I'd love to test this program for myself but unfortunately my compile-foo is very weak. Since the source code for the program is attached to the article can anyone post a short how-to to compile a working example of this program?
I can archive my e-mail discussions, save them to an mbox file and load them into most other mail applications. That's not possible with all that web-based stuff. With some IM programs exporting works, too, but it's hard or impossible to import those discussions elsewhere. Text messages as part of a cellphone - can you archive those? I never tried.
Anyway, I still have my first mail conversations from the mid 90s. Can't say the same thing for other forms of digital conversation.
You obliviously haven't experience IMing via GoogleTalk. All of you IM conversations are recorded and can be accessed and read via the GMail web client just as easily as you read your email. I can't tell you the number of times pulling up old messages that GoogleTalk archived and saved my butt.
You really need to be careful how you talk about me on the forum, I don't appreciate it. Tone down the disrespect, I don't know where you're from but where I'm from, we don't tolerate that. Don't even reply to this, just keep your mouth shut. Consider yourself warned.
Unfortunately I'm known as the neighborhood tech guy. I'll also throw in my 2 cents. I live in a neighborhood that mas many many people with HD-TVs. Roughly half have DVRs and half have CableCARDs. Neither have had too many complaints (nothing more that wrong HD-TV settings). Its not the CableCARDs IMO so much as the computer hardware/software.
Am I missing something or does the headline say their adding features to the XBox360 and then at the end say because of that he's using his XBox360 less and less?
Also consider the CPU cycles required to do the encrypting/decrypting and that this is just one of MANY tasks the OS is doing with encryption-bound services. Those are just two factors that hardly constitutes speedy/secure anything.
Oh I wouldn't worry too much. Knowing Microsoft I'm sure they did something like cache the key on the thumbdrive to help speed decryption up.

Perhaps the rest of the country should take note?

All of this gardening lingo has me lost. Can I get this in terms of cars?

Your preaching to the choir my friend!
Auctully I take that back remove the "/pagead/" part because not all google adds have that as part of the URL.
Add *googlesyndication.com/pagead/* to addblock.
