Would be irritating at parties? I suppose that we need to apply the scientific principle. We have the hypothesis (irritating at parties), lets test it and revise the hypothesis! (you crash a frat bash and see what happens)
i just put in an order for aboynamed.su at see inside the brackets ---> for 71 usd. icannwiki.org seems to think they're legit. If www.aboynamed.su doesn't pop up in the next week or so, they're not legit.
Is it me, or does it look like the designer of the iPhone helped with the website? no, apple didn't design it, just someone who used a little web 2.0 sprinkle (i.e. a 5 year old technique) in photoshop. http://www.stab.se/aq/ny/pstips/layerfx/glass.htm
The websites and the brick and mortar shops both have to pay local state sales tax, provided that the customer is in the same state as the website's product point of origin (For a service, its the main/local office that determines if you pay sales). Thats why newegg customers have to pay tax in NJ and a few other states, they ship products from there. That's to prevent the diner from setting up a web kiosk to order coffee and allowing the waitresses to be merely couriers of the product ordered over the web.
I think you might have conventional sales tax confused with what this article is talking about. Unless the mom and pop diner opened up web service that would then be subject to the tax, they would actually end up with ~%11 savings over a taxed website.
Either that or it has to deal with ISP "service". I didn't read the article, the summary usually provides enough entertainment.
Perhaps they borrowed a bit of jargon from microsoft along the lines of "You don't own what you just paid 300 bucks for, you just licensed it, its ours to with however we please, you just get to use it in the meantime. Share and Enjoy."
But i work in data forensics.
We currently have all the capabilities specified by the device in the article with the exception of the speed. We currently work at about 30 mb/sec copying. But we also rip out the hard drives to prevent spoliation.
Only thing special about the device is the speed, everything else is common practice.
I'd like to post something witty, funny, or something about how outraged i am about all these patent trolls. Possibly something saying its a shame that they aren't sticking it to microsoft. But when there's like 3-4 patent news items on the front page (possibly only 2 right now), and that's the case every day, i just wish that it would stop. Nothing funny, nothing insightful, just same news, different day.
Any time that a patent troll, anywhere, is defeated, its a victory for all, not just consumers. More judges need to rule that software patents of the obvious are unconstitutional (i think it was covered by the suffrage amendment) so that slashdot can return to reporting on google and the iphone instead of these patent stories.
The lack of g3 compatability seems to be a big hindrance to a phone that prides itself as not giving you "not the mobile internet, but the real internet". gprs is what, 56k speeds minus the 300ms pings?
I've unlocked my treo 750 phone to take full advantage of cingular's 386kbit/s g3 and occasionally get a speed of around 800kbps download.
While i suppose that the iphone was designed to color co-ordinate with a starbucks cup as you sit and browse the interweb in the coffee shop hotspot, i'll be using my treo with a clunky interface to access the mobile internet (i.e. the list of simple websites designed for gprs and below and the one that i would set the 60.0kbit/s iphone to download if i was away from a hotspot.)
Once again, apple resorts to its age old design technique: stunningly beautifuly, brilliantly intuitive, but about as useful as a 6 year old pc for what 90% of people do 90% of the time.
mccarthyism and the early salem witch trials ended when high profile people (read: close to the heart of those doing the prosecutions) were targeted as communists or witches. Hit the president's daughter and senators feel that they might be next and enact laws to save us all.
The iPhone was looking really really good until i heard that there wouldn't be 3rd party apps on the iPhone. I'm the kind of guy who's flashed my razr's firmware several times and replaced graphics, installed good stuff, and really went to town so that my phone would do *just* a little more than the average razr.
So when i heard that the iPhone would restrict my play by not using the freeBSD based darwin kernel or any smaller OS kernel that might be wedged into the phone but the symbian based OS, i lost hope of a linux based iPhone.
I now own a treo 750 because i use it for work and i have a few key apps installed and a couple of games (evaluating game emulators though) and will not really be too envious of people walking around with their shiny new fashion accessory.
I still don't own an iPod, but i was hoping that the iPhone would be another contender in the business handheld market, but instead, they took their current route of ignoring (and, apparently hindering in this case) regular business customers and catering to their usual crowd of customers with more money than brains *ducks*.
If only it was as useful as it was pretty, but alas, the old mantra of "you can't do that on a mac" has surfaced once more. Maybe in 10 years they'll wise up and eventually open up their devices to people who expect electronics to work for them, not just put up a really good show of it.
does anyone feel that bioshock (for as great as the system shock games were), comparing itself to one of the great stories of the last century kind of like a high school baseball player comparing himself to babe ruth?
It may be, but Tolkien hated allegory, and any comparison of lotr to ww2, ww1 or Europe at the time of the writing would come up seriously lacking. In fact, he writes about broader, more applicable things, power, nature vs destruction, hobbits, but politics? If lotr was about politics, it wouldn't have been made into movies nearly 45 years after it was published in complete form. The crucible was about politics, but instead of movies, they read it in highschool to explain McCarthyism and to explain why paranoia is bad.
Summary Recap: LOTR was not about politics, it was not an allegory. Anyone who says different should read the introduction to the book, written by Tolkien himself.
They mention the google plugin. Doesn't google offer almost all of its firefox offerings as IE search bars, desktop agents, and stuff like that. So why is the update structure for firefox different than, say, google search bar on IE?
For those of you who want to check traffic before you leave, usually a state's highway patrol will list accidents and obstructions.
I have this site bookmarked and check it before i drive anywhere long distance.
http://www.fhp.state.fl.us/traffic/
Look for ones in your state.
I can't speak for pure gps devices, but google maps on my treo 750 factors in traffic for known areas. The only downside is that its for major metropolitan areas. (i.e. not where i live or work)
If i got a gps antenna, i could have a gps "device" that factors in traffic. It'll be worth it once the traffic reports expand beyond a few key cities.
I say that if you're caught texting while driving, you have to report to a closed off race track where you can't lower your car below 80 while negotiating hairpin turns and being forced to take an online test via texting. (or, if your your max speed is lower, go with that, I'm looking at you Chevette drivers!)
Instead of punishing, its a punishment/hands on learning experience!
Is this an article about a new game or how companies name their titles? I can't tell from the summary, but i think that the article might be about how to name a ww2 title.
Cod1 was amazing, cod2 was ok, didn't get cod3, and i'm probably going to leave cod4 on the shelves.
Well, {obligatory statement about my computer background and/or preference}, but i {explanation of what is used at home and in office}.
With that said, {obligatory statement to stave off mac cult mods}, but really {please don't hurt me}.
In my experience,{statement involving one of the following: tech-staff experience, home experience, or work environment}.
Although, {subtle jab at microsoft indicating preference for neither windows nor mac}
{statement that anything to jab at big guys is good}
But really, my take on this? Businesses will use what businesses will buy. Sometimes you keep using a law firm because it works, and as long as they don't cause mistrials or fail due-dilligence, they stay on retainer. Until windows fails miserably, businesses will continue to use what they've used. The small, independent companies are the ones that get all the mac-related press.
{begins waiting for examples of "big" companies that use macs in numbers greater than 90%}
I saw the mac, had some mod points and thought that i'd revenge myself for the rabid mods who down vote me every time i poo poo macs, no matter how logic, right, obvious, or stupid i may feel at the time that i click the submit reply button.
However, if this means that i could install a *cough* open source player to play blu-ray discs on a pc that wasn't crippled by drm issues *cough vista coughcough*, it might be worth my next laptop replacement.
After using linux on my desktop and getting minimal support for my non big guy video card (kyroII) and a few other issues that 2 months of my best searching, poking, installing, uninstalling, untarring, posting, and breaking couldn't fix a few years back, I came to realize WHY linux's mascot was a penguin -
And this is sure to get me modded down for flaming, trolling, etc, but its a joke...
Either installing and configuring linux was like an expedition to a cold, stark, barren wasteland, or using it was like living there...
One little aside, my little adventure with linux 5-6 years ago taught me that in order to use a non mainstream OS, you needed to use mainstream hardware... Odd, eh?
Now this seems kind of strange to me because i don't stand in front of government buildings waving signs with slogans that people read then disregard, but how is this a "game"? Do you get points for finding people? "I'm a level 12 findomancer!"
While I appreciate the idea, i don't see many people dropping what they're doing to trek across town look for someone.
Now there could be a downside with the kidnapper getting the "game" and then avoiding the areas spotlighted by the search area and knowing precisely how fast it took authorities to realize that the kid was missing.
cops are bound by that permissions. Wiretaps require a court order.
recordings are only non-admissible in court if both parties are unaware of their existence.
Under United States federal law and most state laws there is nothing illegal about one of the parties to a telephone call recording the conversation, or giving permission for calls to be recorded or permitting their telephone line to be tapped. However the Telephone recording laws in some U.S. states require only one party to be aware of the recording, while other states require both parties to be aware. It is considered better practice to announce at the beginning of a call that the conversation is being recorded.

anyone remember packard bell? had a pretty nifty bootloader until microsoft changed the licensing agreement to require the NTLDR.

I'll have my red channel
A little bit of the green
But none of that blue stuff! Hold the blue channel!
The colors, they're breathtaking!
Wait, that's not what it meant? But i want 73 channels of garbage just so that i can watch my history, discovery, and cartoon network!
