well, if i don't care about the law anyway and i can assume that my victim owns a firearm, what stops me to shoot first? (except of george lucas, maybe)
nope, the chernobyl design sucked in many ways. the most important one: a scram operation has to stop the reactor in any circumstance. instead it made the reactor explode. the rod insertion mechanism was too slow, the reactor was so large that different parts of it had different reactivity, the control rod design was stupid because the control rods displaced water with their tips thus boosting the reaction in bottom parts of the reactor. the flaws were known long before the accident and the reactor design was in no way conform to even soviet safety standards but the designer - a famous soviet scientist - suppressed the information.
i wouldn't call panther a shameless t-34 copy. the tanks are vastly different. you'll see the difference at once if you have both standing before you. panther is huge, it is about twice the size and almost twice as heavy as a t-34, the main gun is bigger, the armour is superiour, there is internal radio and an infrared light on it. the suspension is totally different and allows panther to hit the targets sometimes while moving at slow speeds (ww2 tank guns were not stabilised so firing while moving would normally be waste of ammo). all in all panther was a typical german ww2 tank, except of sloping armour. it was a heavy tank, bigger even than a t-72. t-34 is a small and uncomfortable medium tank, very cheap and simple to produce, with bad sights, no internal radio, a crippled christie suspension, a weak gun but a good engine and low silouette. t-44 was a much better tank, but unfortunatelly it came too late.
not really. while symbian has got quite a piece of the total smartphone market, windows mobile (aka pocketpc) has got a much bigger piece of the pda market and pretty much all pocketpc software works on windows mobile pda phones.
how many gps navigation apps are there for symbian? 3 or 4. how many for windows mobile? i can name you at least ten just from my memory.
i have rsi and i do actually like some microsoft keyboards - that natural ergonomics 4000 and the comfort curve 2000. they really relieve the wrists. a colleague of mine has now rsi, too and has bought the natural ergonomics 4000 keyboard because he has seen mine. he likes it, too.
please get your facts straight. weimarer republic was not a pure democracy and the election in march 1933 was not the only one, it was just the last one. the first one was on january 1919.
btw most u.s. americans who actually bear arms tend to care about that single constitutional right only.
national socialist party was socialist in name only so stupid workers fall for it and won't join the actual socialist parties. nazis (and especially hitler) were fiercely antisocialist and because of that they were backed by the big businesses which were scared of socialist and communist parties.
decades later people still fall for the name and ignore the substance.
well, there are lots of corporation apologets on slashdot nowadays. they often earnestly think that corporations are benevolent and may do as they wish and at the same time they fear the governmental power.
no, he wasn't. his party was called national socialistic workers party but it was only to confuse the workers so they won't join the actual socialists.
nazis (and especially hitler) were fiercely antisocialist and because of that they were backed by the big businesses which were scared of socialist and communist parties. take current us-american neocons, add some kkk rhetorics and you'll get a pretty close match to the nsdap of late 1920ies.
I can still remember that some years ago the slashdot crowd cheered at the people who have tried to get a refund for OEM Windows preinstalled on their computers.
Either the people here are different now or it is french bashing time. Maybe both.
exactly. my notebook is 6 years old (hp omnibook 510). it is a bit slow but it handles youtube just fine and i can develop photos from my sigma sd9 well enough.

wm might suck but there are tons of applications for wm.
the real competitor is windows mobile with lots and lots of commercial devices.
amen, brother.

because it is pretty much the only strictly consumer smartphone. the rest is also good enough for business and the story is about business anyway.

of course they are evil - corporations are per definition sociopaths.
there is no such thing as a kind sociopath.
Remember: correlation does not imply causation :-p

they are not expensive and vastly superiour to the chinese junk.
fyi stalin also was a christian. he even studied to become a priest.
because n810 is not a phone. it is very convinient to have a pim and an address book in a device which can make phone calls.
and you will have to walk around carrying two devices instead of one.
well, maybe you should look at your display while typing, not at your keyboard ;-)
no, he wasn't.
