He's referring to loading the image on your computer, full size, and using the "print screen" button on your keyboard. What it really does is copy the current framebuffer into the clipboard, allowing you to get a full-resolution image into a free format for pasting. The only problem is for this to work properly, you need 100% zoom, i.e. to display at the native resolution of the camera... which can get pretty high (4560x3520, I believe is mine)...
If you buy an iPhone to use as a phone only, you made a mistake.
Unless you buy enough music over-the-air to fill up the (relatively) tiny capacity of an iPhone ($$$), you NEED A COMPUTER to use it properly. You are going to be transferring music (that you already have) to it from your computer to your phone. It's being sold poorly - not enough people see the "it's an iPod with a phone" part of it.
This is called CSD - Circut-switched data. Basically, voice is digitized and sent as data. If you use the phone as a modem (a regular modem), the computer sends the phone binary, and the phone makes a phone call. Without the DAC-ADC step, which would make it even more useless than this is.
You don't do as well as you do even over copper, so you're better off with packet-switching anyway.
It's no different than a phone call, and only uses up minutes. It just skips the DAC-ADC step. AT&T actually allows this; something like $5/mo. I don't need it, pay the $20/mo for PSD myself (they don't know I tether, they disallow it but don't check it). They call it a fax thing. Look it up under fax; maybe Verizon has it hidden somewhere.
Crapular - They are AT&T now, no matter how much you dislike them. I have a plan with them, and so far they have been very reasonable
T-Shitty - They are called T-Mobile. That is the name of their company. You must have misspelled the word Mobile. By the way, name calling gets you nowhere.
About the GSM bands - you have a point there. You can always buy a phone with no contract from a US store. Or EBay, or overseas. Yes, you will probably pay more, but since you obviously detest phone companies, that shouldn't bother you
Or, you could get your phone unlocked. The "variously bad policies" are unlocking for 3 after three months. See this wikipedia article. Here is the relevant section
Some providers will unlock the phone for free if the customer has held an account for a certain time period. Third party unlocking services exist that are often quicker and lower cost than that of the operator. In most countries, removing the lock is legal. United States-based AT&T and T-Mobile provide free unlocking services to their customers after 3 months of subscription.
Remember, name-calling gets you nowhere in life. Even if you have a good point, you come off as a ranting jackass who can be safely ignored.
I suspect you have no idea what you are talking about. HIPPA-covered personnel can't tell anybody anything personal unless they receive a subpoena from a judge. This 'anybody' includes Law Enforcement (police, hell even FBI). They Need A Subpoena (or, the patient needs to sign a release)
No shit. Doing something like that will lose you your job and sometimes even your certification. I live in a small town, and am a certified EMT-B (NJ). We don't fvck around with stuff like that, especially because everybody knows everyone else. We are subject to confidentiality agreements like doctors are. Hell, even the patient's lawyer can't get the info, or for that matter, a cop in the ER going "was he high?"
Imagine if somebody had been doing heroin or drinking, and wouldn't tell us because he was afraid we'd tell somebody. Or teenage pregnancy, for that matter (I am in high school). If I ever picked up a classmate, they would be scared sh*tless I'd tell all their friends, and might keep important information from me. Hell, they likely wouldn't realize that not telling a compromising secret can kill them, in this case.
However, the state...frowns... on breaches of confidentiality. They will yank your certification faster than you can blink. I am a volunteer, and it is not my livelihood. However, there are paid squads, and they don't screw around because they will lose their job and they are eligible to be sued for it.
Now, keep in mind that we don't feel that prevents us from telling great stories... we just leave out names and personally identifiable info (no "you know that girl who's out today? oh by the way, i picked up a girl in our class last afternoon, and she was really high. she's still at the hospital...." none of that)
Anyways, I'm no doctor, but the laws are the same (HIPPA, like parent pointed out). We're still subject to the same laws about who we can give personal medical info to.
Say what you want about them, but they sure as hell know how to make a good autonomous vehicle. Anybody want to make a list of things NASA has made recently that didn't last waaay longer than anyone thought?
Ketoacidosis is when your body, which creates acetones naturally, can't clean those acetones out of the blood. So, you get nail-polish breath, which, if medical personnel aren't careful, can smell like booze. That's bad because hyperglycemia can produce mental symptoms similar to drunkenness.
P.S. I'm a NJ EMT-B, and we frequently get calls where policemen want us to check out a drunk, with booze breath and all the mental signs like belligerence. They were really a diabetic at least 10% of the time. Sorry for the OT
It's a bug in mshtml.dll (see a previous poster). It should bring down any program which uses that DLL to render pages. That should include Steam and everything else you mentioned.
The only person I know who knows how to use the V-Chip is my brother's 10 year old son.
They're not censoring him. He's screwing around with settings. The parents are not involved in the V-Chip at all. Unless you're talking about kids in general, you make no sense
You are correct, sir. Volunteer squads (like firemen and ambulance) love these laws. I am a New Jersey EMT-B and, as long as you dont' require any payment, you are virtually immune to lawsuits. That isn't to say you can't lose your certification; if you try to intubate somebody or start an IV (neither of which you can do), you will get decertified pretty damn fast. Still, it's better than a lawsuit.
I just (re)built a Myth box that I bought originally for $150. The CPU's ~700MHz PIII (spare tower) and most of the money was the Hauppauge! PVR-350. The rest was an 80GB drive. Works better than the TiVo and no complaints (same as with the TiVo we also have).
You are simply incorrect. I am as much against the child-rapists (and I mean the young child that is either harmed and/or is not informed about sex) as you are, but you place too much weight on ages.
I am under the age of consent (16). Let's say I were to have sex with some girl who's 19. Let's say I pressured her into it, and I look over 18 (which I do). Now, it's her fault. She's now on the Meghan's Law list, and her life is completely f*cked up anyway. Now, she should die, right? She willingly had sex with a minor (it was my idea, but sssh!). They can't be rehabilitated, so just shoot them in the head.
OK. Now, two 35 year olds have consensual sex. The caveat is, she's retarded and has the mental capacity of a 5 year old, but she said yes. That's just peachy-keen? Whatever, you people scare the living shit out of me. Ages are useless as a metric.
P.S. Just kill them?? Are you out of your fucking mind??? You are either a troll or you feel that you alone know what's right for every fucking person in the country! I'd say you can't honestly believe that, but you probably do anyways.
Ugh... 16 here too. I bought a laptop about 6 months ago, with SATA drives, and I've fixed desktops with them.
What I don't get is: who decided SATA? I know that it's superior in some ways (better connectors, eSATA) but ATA/IDE works fine. Are people really hitting the cap on data transfer with them? I thought the bottleneck was still the mechanical platter...
About London - you make the egregious mistake of thinking that their laws are equivalent to ours. Their constitution is much less well-defined than ours (the States), and they have things like prior restraint of the press. It scared me a little, but it's not a new development. Anyways, I'm not saying your problems with London are irrelevant, but I was there a couple of weeks ago and crime is a BIG problem. At least all of their CCTV cameras have big signs up telling you about them, as opposed to the States where there's nothing.
That's just as illegal as the real pictures in many places, and has harmed as many children as video games have murdered people.
I'm not sure if you're expressing a personal view, or just the current legal situation. So, I will address both
Child Porn was banned (fairly) for actually harming children. Children are abused in its creation, and the argument against possession was that it helped fund an abusive industry. And it does.
Virtual CP harms nobody; and it (in theory) reduces the demand for real child porn. I know that's what you said.
As for the law, it's just wrong. It's equivalent to a thought crime to look at VCP. "Oh, he was thinking something that would be illegal if it happened, Your Honor". Sorry.
And, VCP has "harmed as many children as video games have murdered people". So, 0, right?
I'm not overjoyed, per se. http://hacktherazr.com/ has some pretty good stuff, if you do have a crippled phone (Verizon, I'm looking at you!). No, as far as I can tell, nothing's locked down at all. The only thing that is annoying is third-party unsigned J2ME apps keep asking for web access, and you can't "always allow"...
