Verizon controls their network and since they don't use SIM cards in their phones, there isn't really a whole lot that Google can do about getting their Nexus one onto the network. Which is a shame because it's a good phone, but Verizon was kind of dickish about how it handled the Droid.
It's not illegal, if they told you that they were either misinformed or lying. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy, if it can be seen from public space, it's unlikely to be considered private by legal definitions. But IANAL so YMMV.
And how exactly is this different from when the press uses leaked materials in general? Technically those are usually stolen as well, considering that the party that owns them would release the material if they wanted to. The press in general has relied upon that sort of thing for a really long time, strikes me as a bit odd to suggest that because the thing is a phone that belongs to Apple that suddenly things are different.
Mostly yes, but it could still be useful for staying in touch. You just wouldn't be able to use it to get back in touch with somebody that you'd lost contact with. But ultimately that's the trade off you make. If you want random people from years past to get in touch with you, then random strangers are going to be able to as well. It's not really that easy to find a way of getting old acquaintances without risking crazy stalkers.
Depends what the model is. My 10D isn't like that, rarely do I need to go into the menus to do something unless it's really out of the ordinary. I've got two dials, the rings on the lens and the shutter button. That allows me to do almost all the things I want to do without looking anywhere but through the eye piece.
Sigh, I wish that attitude would die a horrid death. That's mostly because most photographers don't have any concept of color theory. And don't have access to the equipment to do their own color prints.
Black and white can definitely be artsy, but there's a lot of leeway you get that you don't get with color film. For instance in color you actually have to care about blowing highlights, you also have to care about what the color of the composition is conveying. A surprising number of otherwise great shots are ruined because you can't cram the lighting conditions into the range the camera can handle.
Yes, but that's for 35mm format. You're talking roughly $3 per frame for the developing alone, no prints. And if you want them to do the prints you're probably talking about at least another $7 there. At that rate, you'd break even at only 1400 prints.
You're definitely not going to equal the quality with any 35mm or digital of similar frame size. It's just not going to happen, even with expert technique.
Unlikely, I doubt that the law is constitutional as currently written. It's not up to the state to regulate interstate commerce, even if it does directly impact the residents. Meaning that companies that aren't incorporated in MA and don't have a physical presence there can't be made to answer to this law as the Federal government is responsible for interstate commerce. Additionally it gets a bit more complicated in cases where a company does have a presence in the state, but has the servers located elsewhere or in cases where the business doesn't know where the person resides.
Probably because unlike in the US, Russia seems to turn a completely blind eye to cyber criminals. Granted we don't do such a good job ourselves, but we do look for them and prosecute them when found. It's rich that a country with a very serious problem with organized crime would even pretend like there's no justification for pointing a finger back at the lack of enforcement.
Honestly, E*Trade is pretty much the only one I can think of off the top of my head that uses something like that. Pretty much every bank in the country just uses simple passwords with verification questions. And an astonishing number don't bother to make their home page load via SSl.
The main reason being that they aren't generally held accountable for breaches that may occur due to their own lax security measures. In relative recent history it was still relatively common for ID thieves to be able to get lots of material dumpster diving. As well as for companies like TD Ameritrade to fail to notice that they'd been haxxored.
Mostly it's a side effect of the conservative's personal responsibility fetish. Basically make everything the fault of the victim even if it's clearly not their fault.
To be fair, had they flown anyways they would've likely lost billions anyways. I'm not sure what the figures are, but a considerable amount of money is lost by the industry whenever a plane goes down.
Eh, doesn't really matter since nobody carries hundreds. They're large enough that most places won't take them anyways. I think it's mostly tourists and people that don't actually use cash on a regular basis that carry them around.
Sigh, it's not anti-capitalist to insist upon having unmanageably sized corporations broken up. Especially when said corporations grow huge based upon buying out the nearest competitor to create a monopoly position. Just because large corporations don't like it doesn't mean that it's anti-capitalist. Capitalism requires eternal vigilance in order to ensure that one source doesn't become the only source of every product or service.
Had the DoJ been doing its job in the first place a number of those deals would never have taken place. In fact, I doubt that MS would've been brought into court at all had the clowns running the DoJ during the early portion of this century been in charge.
Spaces are a pain, but having witnessed how broken some OSes are when it comes to handling anything beyond the most basic, the advice I give is deviate from the extremely basic at your own risk. As far as I know all modern OSes can handle spaces in file names. But, it's better not to anyways. It's not that hard to end up in a situation where you've got illegal characters in the filename. I remember a while back trying to put my MP3s in a NTFS disk and having to deal with the several ? that the program had put into some filenames. The OS I did that on was fine with it, but when I got to Windows it was impossible to delete or really work with.
If you use them then you need to account for them in some fashion. You can do it anyways, you just end up with more complication and another way in which things can go wrong.
Just as long as you're not scripting in a c shell you should be relatively OK. The scripts I see tend to be in either Bash or Bourne, but I'm sure there's people that insist on using the Korn shell and other ones. The main problem is that when you get too far from the standard shells you run an increased risk that the shell has to be installed. Bash for instance isn't installed by default on FreeBSD, but Bourne is.
It's not just the built ins it's how they're used, you don't want to be caught scripting in C shell as there isn't a proper way of seeing what the command is going to do ahead of time. You're also needing to worry about the quality and types of operations that the shell can handle. Some are more focused on scripting than others are.
No, there is no unit at present which represents cow power. A (mechanical) horsepower is defined as 550 foot-lbs per second and was selected as a sort of average amount for draft horses for comparison against steam engines.
For instance that whoosh is going over my head with a full 4 horsepower.

In most areas the cops are already being recorded. Around here on video and there's been talk of getting them wired for sound as well. The things that cops tend to worry the most about are mostly involving weapons and obeying their instructions. If you're wearing the equipment you've made your decision and unless they ask for it to be removed you shouldn't even consider doing so.
But they have a point. In most of the places where that happens the cyclists are violating the traffic codes. No driver is supposed to impede the flow of traffic. Which means that cyclists huffing up the hill are supposed to be on the sidewalk. Rather than impeding traffic. Likewise rolling through red lights is not something that they get to do.
Sure there are dick head drivers, but it's a non-starter to say that since drivers are frequently dickheads that somehow cyclists violating traffic laws is somehow OK.
It's a selling point for some actually. The ability to wipe ones personal information off the phone in case it gets lost or stolen. Admittedly keeping sensitive information on a hand held is just asking for trouble, but being able to wipe remotely does have legit uses. Of course those are all out weighed by the possible abusive uses.
Actually, if the fake papers are being put out by publicly traded companies then they could very well do quite a bit. The SEC has a pretty broad area of jurisdiction when it comes to companies pumping out false information to bump their stock price. But I know that's not really what you were thinking about, in general the SEC wouldn't have any authority at all.
The irony is that while the US does a better job of dealing with corruption involving foreign officials we have 11 million undocumented workers a significant portion of which are at best indentured and at worst actual slaves. There's an embarrassing number of actual slaves living and working in the US as we speak and for whatever reason they aren't freed. The authorities do look for them, but unless people happen upon them and report it there isn't a lot that can be done by law enforcement.
Umm, Flash is exactly why this needs to not happen. Flash isn't well supported on _any_ platform. Even on Windows which is the primary focus it sucks. The problem is that people don't all want to use Windows or Mac, even adding in Linux users you still don't hit everybody.
If Firefox requires Flash to play h.264, then it's not supported. I can't install flash properly on my FreeBSD install without a lot of shenanigans, even then it doesn't really work very well.
Apple has kind of a tough time there, the way that they keep things stable is by not having people screwing around with the internals and drivers, but in order to do something like this one has to screw around with the internals. Meaning that they've bet on stability and reliability at a cost of having this sort of community involvement. Hard to say whether they'll come out ahead or behind in the long run.
