it is not a feature, it is the handshake sequence. my pda phone switches the screen on when the handshake sequence begins, so i could know there will be an incoming call or a short message in a second.
i tried that yesterday on my subnotebook. now ubuntu starts when the notebook sits in the docking station (with the dvd drive in it) but when out of docking station ubuntu won't boot because it cannot find the root fs (no dvd drive so the first ide disk is now/dev/hda and not/dev/hdb i suppose).
The pirates would hardly have been able to believe their eyes as they inspected the hold of their latest conquest, the Faina. The Ukrainian vessel was heading for the Kenyan port of Mombasa loaded down with rocket-propelled grenades, anti-aircraft guns and 30 Russian T-72 tanks.
"They really hit the jackpot this time," said a regional arms expert. "There is not much they can do with the tanks, but the RPGs and the Zu-23 anti-aircraft guns will soon find their way into Somalia's arms markets.
"These are the sort of weapons that fighters in Somalia really like."
Almost 60 vessels have been attacked this year as armed gangs of pirates plunder the seas off Somalia. Its 2,300-mile coastline offers rich pickings for the modern-day buccaneers, who use AK-47s and RPGs rather than the cutlasses and flintlock pistols of romantic imagination.
In a country already awash with weapons, yesterday's haul will only worsen a bloody conflict that has escalated in the past month as Islamist insurgents battle government troops and their Ethiopian allies.
An international coalition of navies has so far failed to stem the trade, which brings in as much as $1.5 million (£800,000) per ship.
The Ukrainian foreign ministry said today that the Faina's captain had radioed maritime authorities to say that three cutters with armed men were approaching his vessel at high speed before communications were lost. Her cargo was destined for South Sudan's government.
It brings the number of ships held by the buccaneers to 14, with 300 crew members held hostage.
i had quite a lot of mold growing on the bathroom ceiling. one day i had enough, took a cloth, soaked it with 98% isopropanol and cleaned the mold off the ceiling with it. three years later there is still no new mold.
nearly all of them would because only a fraction of patients would have private insurance. only a few doctors would be private only, the rest would just accept both kinds of patients, but giving the private patients higher priority and higher quality healthcare.
what exactly is a problem with having both at once? everyone gets the same basic health care and if someone wants to have better than average health care they can pay a premium.
like the ac said, do what the flight crew sais. they might be wrong but they are still the authority as long as you are in the air. don't be a dick just for the sake of it.
i myself used a bluetooth gps reciever together with my pocketpc in the flight, but i especially asked whether i am allowed to do it.
last three years i uses a bluetooth gps receiver with my pda on lots of easyjet flights (all of them airbus a319). no problems at all. it was even allowed.
apple ingeneering seems to suck really much if their devices only work with their own batteries. every other consumer electronics company somehow manages to make third party batteries working.
his point being that glucose is not only used as an energy source but also is converted to cellulose, a polysaccharide, which itself is the main structural component of a plant.
huh? i also was an early adopter of a rage128 card (ati rage fury), as i bought it the same day it came to the stores. the card was in no way obsolete, the graphics quality and speed in 32bit colour was out of reach for all the other video cards at that time. that particular card is still working in a home theatre pc of my dad.

never had problems like it with windows.
it is just the iphone-crazed slashdot. the rest of the world still prefers windows mobile because it is jack of all trades.
who said you can't?
nothing especially russian about it
sorry, but you are wrong. afghanistan was a whole lot more civilized and secular place back then when the soviets were there.

yep. it will also kill any remaining mold.

htc universal is the device you want. you can buy it used for about 150 euros already.

that is the way it works here in germany.

bullshit. every other cellphone has removable batteries and the european iphone market is very weak anyway.

well, they make 10 a little louder instead.

here is a good explanation
you read too much yellow press for your own good
it is not so much a troll as it looks like.
russia of the nineties was pretty much a laissez-faire libertarian utopia.

your wish will come true very soon
who is that "rest of us" you mention?
British: Pink Floyd are coming to town
that would be my greatest wish.
