People in California were driving electric cars every day ten years ago. They were fast, quiet, clean, and reliable. They were also accessible to the everyman, unlike the Tesla roadster.
I don't give a fuck about corn or other combustibles. We could all be driving electric cars today if not for big oil colluding with government regulators.
Give me my electric car!
First, not hey weren't. There were a few persons driving electric cars, not even a group large enough to be referred to as "people" by any stretch of the imagination.
Second, they were neither fast nor terribly reliable.
Third, they were by no means "available to the everyman" as you say. They were small vehicles that could move a couple of people back and forth to work, and that's it.
I'm no fan of "hate speech" myself but my right to free speech overrides your right not to be offended by what I say.
While I agree with the intent of your post I have to point out one glaring inaccuracy. NOBODY has a RIGHT to not be offended. That is the simple, logical mistake of every person who introduces, or defends, things like this proposed bill.
That's odd. I have a Samsung Omnia and it's the best phone I've ever owned. The screen response isn't as good as the iPhone's, but nothing else is either. The Omnia is #2. It also allows me to do things for free the iPhone can't, such as SSH and VNC, flawlessly. Its camera is also the best I've used on a phone and, at 5MP, has plenty of resolution.
"Apple said from the beginning it did not want to use CDMA because of its limited range to only North America."
Wrong.
"Apple went to Verizon first."
Correct.
Verizon has already announced that they will no longer be locking out features, specifically GPS capability, on new phones. It took a while but they finally learned.
Speaking of Geocaching, the iPhone's "GPS" sucks so much you have to have another GPS device anyway. Yes, I'm speaking from experience.
Oh yeah, I forgot. I also took my potato gun to physics class to study a "real world application" of trajectories. The whole class, including the teacher, loved it.
rather than trying to split hairs on what is and isn't a weapon they listed a few obvious ones
I guess it's only obvious to you as I had a pocket knife with me every day of my high school career, from 1994-1998. If I ever got challenged over it I'd simply request that they collect every other pocket knife from every other student that had one, as well as every cutting implement in class rooms.
How in the world are you on your 9th fucking console? I can understand 1, or maybe even 2, but not 9. That has to be something specific to your environment or your destruction of the console.
I bought a 360 2 years ago and it has been just fine the whole time I've had it. It's never locked up and never RRODed on me.
I don't understand how you can kill 9 of them. And that's what it is at this point, you're killing them, they aren't dieing.
I have a similar situation. I still have access to an email account that was gobbled up by the Verizon creation. That merger happened in 2000 and my parents haven't had service through Verizon since 2001. I can still receive email through that address, 8 years later.
Well, you can CLAIM anything you want against anybody you want. The only problem this guy faces is that he sued for the wrong thing as the definition of libel includes a clause about what was said being true or not.
You should really educate yourself before making such sweeping, idiotic, statements. Chevy alone makes more models with 30+mpg than Honda or Toyota. I had a 2003 Cavalier that was rated at 32 mpg highway and got 38+ on a cross country trip. I now have a 2006 Cobalt rated at 34 mpg that still gets 37-38 highway on the few long drives I've taken it on. Nowhere else can you get a 400+hp car that can hit 30 mpg highway, like the Corvette, and still have the performance which that car has.
Please stop repeating fallacies based in the 1970s and 80s.
But when I installed the 7 Beta it was just crap... total crap.
What are you on? Windows 7 is by far the best Windows yet. Is is faster and more stable than either XP or Vista. Being unfamiliar with something doesn't make it "crap" it just means you have to learn a few new things.
What exactly were you trying to do? I have an Ubuntu server running at home and connect to its shares with Windows XP, Mac OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04 without fail using user authentication for write access. It took a little bit of looking for me to set it up the first time about 5 years ago but I've since redone my server several times and it a simple exercise of copy and paste to get it going again.
Granted, the GUI for configuring SAMBA is a little lacking as it doesn't have all the options one needs but the configuration file is easily understood and used.
Don't jump on that wagon too quick there, man. A personal friend just had an equally disturbing experience at a certain western US university. The professor clearly stated in class and on the syllabus (which is the end all, be all of class authority) that all exams would be announced on the class website. My friend chose not to attend every class because that material wasn't exactly graduate level stuff, as the class was supposed to be. Well, said professor decided to break the rules and not follow his own syllabus and announced an exam in class. This is very much a no-no and my pal is still fighting them on his subsequent failure of that exam and, potentially, the class.
Lesson - Some professors really do think they are allowed to do whatever they want and you must do whatever they say.
I had one experience while in college but it never amounted to much trouble for me. The prof, on the other hand, was given a very clear message from the head of the department.
That would be sorting by type. I want folders before files when sorted by name. You know, like every other OS out there. I'm not saying make it the only way, or even the default, just give me the option.
While I do have sympathy for the girl, I shall certainly not condone treating people differently based on their income levels or their medical conditions
Until the guy with diabetes gets you off the plane that's been sitting on the tarmac for 9 hours.
Everything is relative in these situations. Was she unable to take a phone call? Probably not. Was she unable to respond, legally, to the subpoena? Probably.

No, it is illegal to not identify yourself to police when asked. It is NOT illegal to not show them a physical ID as you are not required to have one.
...and screwing every woman in sight.

Judge for yourself if that 5MP is lens blur of not. It seems to me that I am getting a full 5MP image. Zoom in as much as you want
I also have a full bash terminal (iphone runs a type of bsd dont you know) and all my standard desktop bash scripts work just fine.
It seems to me that you are talking about a jailbroken iPhone if you have a bash terminal.
It isn't a Samsung specific client, just a Windows mobile client. It's built off of RealVNC I believe.

the towing capacity of the 1984 chevy pickup are greater than the 2009 chevy pickup truck.
That is completely false.

You might want to read your submission. It makes absolutely no sense. What is a root kit? Oh yes, malware.
It seems you are applying XP logic or user bias towards OSX, as you can do what you are trying, but aren't doing it right.
I'm not applying any bias except that every other OS at least has the option. Also, the steps you just went through don't do what I'm asking.
How about sorting numerically? Windows thinks 10 comes before 1, so you have to label your files 01-09 in order to sort the way humans work.
Have you not used Windows in the last 5 years? The numerical sorting problem is long gone.
As for color labels, I've never understood the use. Why would I need a color to identify a file?
That would be sorting by type. I want folders before files when sorted by name. You know, like every other OS out there. I'm not saying make it the only way, or even the default, just give me the option.
Yeah, I'm so glad they finally got that high quality sorting of folders before files...oh wait.
