Last point, this is where ingenuity and innovation comes in. Further, now that I have this on slashdot, hopefully no one can patent this idea.
TekSavvy, THE best ISP I have had in a long time. Everything is upfront, they do not throttle (though those on slashdot may have heard that Bell is throttling all ISP that go over their lines, bitches). You can get their 200GB/mn or unlimited (true unlimited). Static IP addresses for 3$/mn, MLPPP. Love their tech support, one of the few companies where using "tech" is justified.
If you can't get DSL, tough luck. TekSavvy does provide WISP in certain areas.
Man, I would hate to be the sucker who has to put all those mosquito in the jar.
Bill: Steve, Can you come in here. Steve: Hey bill, hope you are happy with optimization I put in Windows 7 Kernel. Bill: Yah that is pretty good, I have another project for you. Steve: Sure Bill, anything for you. Bill: I want you to...... Steve: You want me to what?
The problem is, no nation is stupid enough to launch "1" missile. No, it won't be its last. In all probability they will launch a dozen or more, and those will be the last they launch. Probably with nuclear warhead too.
How much damage will those missile do is what is the deterrent to those that oppose Iran's interest.
I would have given you Insightful if I had mod points, since I don't, the second best thing is write a comment.
I agree, I think one of the main reasons Iran is a threat is because they think different. Interests of Israel would be at risk, a staunch US ally. Iran has threatened to wipe out Israel, on the other hand Israel has recently demonstrated it too cannot be trusted with power. Hamas is a threat to Israel and should be wiped out, but a disproportionate response is just as irresponsible as Iran claiming to wipe out Israel.
Personally, I am all for Iran to have nukes, I don't think Israel would slaughter civilians if it had a few nukes pointed at them and knowing that a crazy nation will be all to happy to push the trigger, even if it means Iran itself may look like lunar surface.
First, its a new device, due to market forces, they could not put in everything on day one. MAke it simple stupid, fast.
Second, if all features go in on the first gen device, no one buys subsequent generation. They need to give an impression of innovation, both to their customers and their stock holders.
Third more money, A lot of 1st Gen iPhone users bought the 2nd Gen iPhone. Making iPhone the fastest smartphone to touch 1 million user base.
Case in point, MMS, that does not even require any more hardware than what they iPhone already has. This could easily be addressed by the many firmware updates Apple sends out, yet they have kept it out.
Anyone want to bet that the next gen iPhone will support MMS.
What disgusts me is the double standards. America was and is the land of the immigrants and dreams. The country was born out of immigration. America is proud of the American Dream, IMHO H1-B visa holders carry the torch of that dream more than born citizen. They come to this country in that hope. Unfortunately the dream is being hijacked by a few rick business men on the top for cheap labor that is willing to throw in 120 hr weeks.
If you really want to fix this, then transform the H1-B program and give the H1-B visa holders right equivivalent to that of greencard holders. The problem will mitigate itself. All of a sudden the employers will realize that immigrants are not slaves and if u lower wages and expect 120 hr weeks, they will find a better opportunity. Also remove the concept of "sponsor" for H1-B. Sure a employer can sponsor, however an immigrant steps into US, he is free to work anywhere.
This will level the playing field for Americans, as employer will really find a local before he attempts H1-B.
It's not (so much) that there are things the SLR can do that the P&S can't;
I disagree.
There are two big things P&S cannot do: 1) Low light photography 2) Getting a decent bokeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh)
Besides, lens on most P&S are lower resolution than the sensor itself, your mighty gazillion megapixel P&S has a lens that resolves to only 3 megapixel.
All this has a lot to do with sensors on P&S, they are about the size of the nail on your pinky finger.
Canon EOS 1D Mark II on the other hand has a 35mm full frame sensor. You will make about 10 P&S sensors with same amount of silicon.
I work for a telecoms, and they are handicapped because traffic is encrypted all the way to your corporate BES (Business Enterprise Server). They don't know what they hell you are doing on a blackberry, running a VoIP client or simply browsing. They can not do tiered charging or DPI. No tiered internet either. booohoohoo.
This is also why BlackBerry is such a corporate hit. Privacy is pretty much guaranteed over the wireless channel.
Now now, before you go to that porn site, your BES server admins can do pretty much what your companies corporate policy desires.
...they are called Breaks, like in a car, but a bit different. In case of a catastrophic failure of these bristles, brakes kick in. They let the elevator slide down in a controlled manner.
Do you own the Corolla because you couldn't afford the BMW or because you choose to.
Sure its more reliable than a BMW, however is it as much fun to drive. No I don't own a BMW either, but that is because I can't afford one.
I care about the environment, no really I do, however the difference between your Corolla and a BMW is about as much as between a 800cc Suzuki and a Corolla.
So while you may think you are nice to the environment, the guy in his 800cc Suzuki looks at you the same way as you look at that Acadia driver (overcompensation as you put it).

And to that lets also add that Osama bin Laden was on CIA payroll to Islamize that region and fight Soviets in the name of Jihad.

Yah, but what will this new Linux distribution be called?

See how many of them have shoes in their hands.
This is the only real world solution I had, unfortunately I don't know how legal it was.
I was in a Apartment building, and all channels were being user/overlapped. I kinda cheated, probably was breaking law too.
My router had a country/location choice, I choose Australia, that game me I think channel 12 and 13. I choose the unlucky 13. All was well.
Do at your own risk though.

Code is simple on the backkend
boolean reject=false;
if (name.matches("m(o|u)h(a|u)m{1,2}(a|e)d") {
reject = true;
}
Only thing I can't figure out, why the hell it takes 4 seconds to execute such simple code. Must be perl or java, maybe network latency.
Not sure about the car, but the website sure crashed!
Hope the car is better.

The all important question,
Do you own the Corolla because you couldn't afford the BMW or because you choose to.
