Well, I have three BT devices and to my surprise I use all three of them. The key is my P910 Bluetooth Phone/PDA. I connect to it with my laptop (for file transfer when I am without cables) and ot a BT earpiece (for driving).
I'm also planning to see if I can connect earpiece to laptop for skype calling while wandering about.
Have you tried minimising the Firefox window? I found this tip the other day, and it's astounding. My v1.0.7, with this page of slashdot all it has open, after an hour or two of surfing, takes 52Mb of RAM, but if I minimize the window this drops to 2.5Mb.
If you'll RTFA, you'll see that the FBI are not the source of this, but those sons of fun, the FFC. Now, maybe the DHSS leant on the FCC to claim this, but that's not confirmed.
That's nothing, I've made a fully functional 17" powerbook entirely out of paper with the exception of a few parts (CPU, mobo, superdrive, etc.)and it's fully functional too.
...as I believe that could create new levels of flamage, always entertaining on a slow posts day. People might even physically explode, and that's always fun to watch.
As Cory Dotcorow has pointed out, DRM can't work. It's mathematically impossible. You can express it in cryptographic terms like so: Alice wants to send a message (her new single) to Bob, her customer. Alice wants to ensure that her message cannot be read by Oscar, a "pirate". OK, this sounds do-able, until you realise that Oscar isn't called Oscar. He's called Bob, too. Alice has no way of telling the difference between a "pirate" and a customer. She can't treat Bob differently depending on whther he is a "pirate" or a customer because she can't tell!
When figuring out the answer to this question I was surprised to realise that out of the various extensions I normally run, the one I'm most fond of is the most useless one; WellRounded. All it does is round the edges of the address and search boxes, but I just like the way it looks...
The most recent one I've installed is the Goolge toolbar, because I was thinking to myself that I hated switching the search bar between wikipedia, google, and dictionary (because although this is easy enough to do I walways forget to switch back to google before my next search.) The google toolbar lets me have one search box for wikipedia, and one for google. that the google one can search against images or dictionary with a single non-permanent click is a bonus.
By such logic, TOS is also non-cannon as it includes a cross-over with another TV show, "Assignment: Earth".
(Please don't post pointing out that Assignment: Earth never made it past it's pilot, or I will be forced to invoke Wold Newton, and you won't like that.)
This is a political argument, and you already lost. Ho hum.
I have no such problem, since, as sysadmin, I am the only person in our office who can work Visio, and consequently I am the person who draws all the floor plans when we rearrange the office.
He was writing music, and having some sucess, but he wanted to make really romantic music, you know, the sort of music that people play while they make sweet love.
Took him 12 years to become a gynacologist, but it was worth it. That man's name? Michael Bolton.
It so happens that I went to the UK launch of Windows XP, which was held at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Not a bad event, although Steve needs a new joke writer.
Now, that venue seats 3,000 people, and while I am of course an extremely important person, I'm not so important that they had to exclude 70,000 lesser people. So launching Vista in a 73,000 capacity venue is going to look a bit sparse, don't you think?
PalmOS only expects to find two sorts of files on it's memory disk. Palm apps (.prc) and Palm database files (.pdb). And no foilders. It's historical, and makes sense for what palms were originally designed for - pocket devices that had apps that consulted a single database file, such as your diary.
Palms back then were designed to run very simple and effective programs very fast. And they did. You kids today don't remember how incredibly fucking badly the early Microsoft PDAs sucked. I mean, they were totally unusable.
SD cards are treated differently, since they already have a file system defined on them (it's FAT isn't it?), so Palm apps expecting to read off SD cards had to be able to deal with a more traditional file system.
I've never gotten their obsession in the Batman films with burning up the bad guys - by which I mean that in for some reason in the films they have to kill the baddie.
First they have the Joker, and kill him. And throw away Joe Chill without using him. But after that, they decided for some mad reason that they had to use two er film, because next u it was Oswald and Selina. Then Harvey and Edward. And then Ivy and Victor and Bane. Bane worst of all, they threw him away in a cameo. Who was in the latest one? Ra's and Jonathon. See, still blowing two at a time.
Dammit, I just spent twenty minutes trying to find the fishy pun in your post... we need a mod for "on topic, but in an off-topic thred, so sort of off-topic"
Interesting. Is all your internet traffic going down the VPN OK? What's the impact on latency?

Google WiFi+VPN Confirmed
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Well, it's not confirmed but many people suspect it is option three.
Which is, that they are called Google WiFi spots because Google owns them. We see from various job adverts etc. that Google have been cheaply buying enormous amounts of dark fibre to build a fast global backbone network. Take this, add WiFi or WiMax for the last mile, bing! Instant huge ISP. Make it Ad supported and free, bing! Every internet packet in the world goes thru Google. Google owns the internet,..., profit!
Because it's a VPN client you use to securely connect to the internet using a Google WiFi spot, so you can't get sniffed. It knows if you aren't connected via a Google WiFi link, and won't work otherwise.

How's that going, by the way? Got all the bugs out of it yet?
I think the only way to really learn a foreign language is to get a lover who speaks that language.
Yeah, that's really useful advice to give on Slashdot, thanks....

Team Slashdot are #1 but only now does it have a Linux client! You're all secretly Windows users! It's all been lies!
At 8 years old I was building flying cars. Out of big cardboard boxes.

You're new here, aren't you?
I finally figured out why I keep coming back to Slashdot despite the trolls and the dupes.
It's because there are people, like young joelsanda here, who are geekier than me, and they are a thing of great beauty.

I read that it didn't, my mistake.
I suppose it makes sense for them to make this work for everyone, since it means they can give ads to people whether they use Google WiFi or not.

Look, are you a troll or not? Make up your mind, for goodness sake.
Some of use are reading slashdot at work, our time is precious.
