I'm not so sure that you have been using a cell very well then. My friends and myself know how to click one button to silence our phone. We can literary look at our phone make a decision and click a button to silence the incoming phone call. All in the course of a few seconds.
Also we have a silence or vibrate feature that makes our phone make a whole lot less noise when we need to not be disturbed. I've gotten it down so while I'm in my classes I have it set to vibrate and when someone forgets that I'm in class I can see who it is, silence the call so it goes to voice mail much faster. After I get out of class I can check if they left a voice mail and/or call them back.
Plus with texting I hit the same button and it stops making any noise and any vibrations. Pretty simple while I'm busy, in class, or don't want to talk.
Also the true silence mode where it makes no noise or vibrations at all. This is all relatively easy and I've only owned my own cell for about four years now. Both of the different models I've had have had such similar button layouts that I did not have to adapt or change much. Plus my new one lets me look at a text message on the outside screen for quick and easy reading.
Well that info works for here in Toledo Ohio too then. Most roads in the city are around 35 to 40 mph. Right in front of my house is 25 because it is a cluster of houses for about 5 or 6 blocks ahead and 2 or 3 behind. In front of the park by me it is 35mph.
The technology will also be useful for a number of other applications including DNA sequencing and molecular electronics, he adds.
So I'll get a PC eventually that I feed some bawls to so it runs for a day, and when I wanna upgrade it I just run some little laser program to tweak the graphics chips on it to the latest and greatest DNA available. Please say it is true. Only downside, it would probably eat all my CDs and DVDs...
...Either the EWeek author or PayPal is clearly clueless because they used the words "safe" and "IE" in the same sentence... I think that I should fix that, Safe and any form of connection to the internet should not go hand in hand. Maybe Safer or more safe than other ways but it is never safe in general.
I think the only way that a tax like this could ever work without many headaches would be to have a flat tax on all internet purchases. Lets say that they end up doing this for all online retailers and the federal government would collect it all then distribute it out to all the states. So say they have a 5% tax for anything sold online. Lets say the federal government collects all of it and then dishes it out to the states, and keeps part of it. Say they keep 2%, then the states divide up the 3% to them and the local counties that make up the state. Say the State keeps half of what they are given and the other half is divided up and given to the counties. Dividing it up between population would work for determining how much each state would receive. So California would so much because of its population, while Alaska would get an equal portion based on its own population.
I think that many people would stop selling online (such as mom and pop shops) if they had to file for every state they shipped any sort of product. I know I would never want to do that sort of work unless it was the only part of my business (say amazon and musicians friend)
I get the cost part but still does not give you very nice security. Anything on the internet is quite open to anyone who works enough and knows what they are doing. So the point of security over employee friendliness becomes an issue you should sit down and think well what would happen if this happened, or this or that?
All I'm saying is even for the cost and ease of use of having it connected to the Internet the security for something like a power grid still out weighs it.
I'm kinda confused by this too, why is the power grid on the Internet? Seems like a very illogical thing to do in my opinion. I think they would have two networks in each building, one for the power grid computers and controls and one for anything that needs access to the Internet. If something has to be transmitted to another building either they need to lay down some sort of infrastructure or use SneakerNet...
I don't know, when I turn into a driveway with a mailbox at the start of it I think that it is a pretty good possibility that it is someone's driveway, not just another road. Maybe that is just me though.
I'm just saying they had to get that name for a reason, so why are all the geeks there getting their jollys playing with nerf guns outside? With a nickname like that you would think they would be playing with nerf guns in private or what have you.
I kidna see it as someone standing outside my house looking in my window watching whatever I have on the TV at that moment. If I don't like that I close the blinds and tell him to leave my property. So if verizon and mobitv don't want you looking through their windows then they need to close the blinds and tell people to stay off their lawn. In this case it would be using some sort of security. Then when they actually break into it you can cry "OMG HAX!"
I was reading the little blurb about the article and I got a creepy feeling that it sounded like what you always hear about the cold war and the arms race against US/USSR... Maybe it is just me but the blurb about it just gave me that impression.
I'm sure they have places like these... I think they are called bars. Last time I knew you had to show proof that you were 21 or older to get into it. If that does not suit you then learn to cook and eat at home. I've never done anything to you so why should I be forced to not go to an establishment that allows younger people?
Sometimes to promote something and actually have it work properly you must start it off on the right foot, weather that means provide it, or legislate it... However I doubt either will happen in order to provide the best for the people and business.
I kind of remember the NES my parents bought way back when... But it was not till I was older, maybe 6 or 7 when me and my brother both got the original Game Boys for christmas. Those were what really turned me onto games, then the SNES with mortal combat, also we had a Sega Genesis, sonic spin ball was the best game ever... Me and my brother just loved sonic back then. Then at about 6th or 7th grade I got into Magic the Gathering, then D&D (paper and pencil). Fell in love with that... 2nd edition, found out my dad had a bunch of books for it and my friends were playing it, so I ended up playing up till 3rd and have not really played since 3.5 came out... I'd like to play again with my friends.
I feel the same exact way... On my drive to my college I have this intersection where it goes from two lanes to one, and the right most lane ends and people always try to get over in front of me even though they had plenty of time before hand, which is why I got over in the first place... I'm sure I have some enemies out there because of this though.

Not even a year, more like 2 months...

Something tells me these are not the droids I'm looking for...
I will have to go check that book out. Thanks for the info
That is actually a cool article to read. I found it quite an interesting read.
I need that article... I'd like to know what an 80 year old grandma do to get tasered in the first place...

Around here BGSU is known as the STD capital...
Well I heard they were sack tickling their way into bankruptcy so they won't have all that money anyways.
Well this is my .02...

meh... My classes on windows server we are expected to use the command line, they show us how to do it the gui way and the command line way.

I was told though that the cake is a lie...
