Talking iPods

This is not for eyes off situations like when your driving. This is so that bind users can actually have full benefit of the iPod. My Blind fried would ifnd the current iPod usesless. He's more apt to go to the iPod Shuffle because of it's easier interface. With voice added, they could navigate it an dbe able to know what they are listening to.
This is not a practical method. Now it MAY be able to be taken advantage of, but I doubt it. You may be able to record the audio in another file, but getting everything to sync is going to be a pain.
I would have said John Smith but the point is that you can't restrict merely by name because it's very possible to have the same name associated with two people....one who is a terrorist and one who isn't.
What does the US administration have anything to do with on this? Apparantly this is Western Union Policy right?? Western Union might be using a list provided by the government, but I don't think that the US has a law against this. Also, with ID theft being mor eprevelent plus the fact that there CAN be many people with the same NAME! There was a Mohammed Atta who was a Terrorist and I BET there's another Mohammed Atta somewhere elsse on the planet. Also restricting a transfer because of a name won't stop the terrorists. They'll just use Paypal.
Not funny. I know what the support rep is doing, but most people don't even know you can do this with Windows XP. I had a rough time trying to explain to my brother how to try it and I ended up just giving up.
Last Friday, we recieved a ticker about a customer who wanted thier ID number changed. The reason? Her number has the numerals 666 in it. We had a laugh around the office. I realize people are sensitive about this stuff but people!
Linux PDA's have not always been expensive. In fact, although not a PDA, the Nokia 770 is only $350. The big issue is WHY IN HECK ISN'T SHARP SELLING THE ZAURUS HERE!
Right now, if you want Linux on a handheld, you have to have one of four things: a Nokia 770, import one of the Zaurii from Japan(EXPENSIVE because you have to import it), flash linux on a perfectly good iPaq or other handheld or possibly installing desktop linux on a Sony UX180. That's it. Anyone remember the Agenda VR3? No I did not think so....
Yeah. I agree with you. I hate blindly following preachers who end up fleecing the flock for all they are worth. I am sorry but I don't think Churches should be like that. Let ME give WILLINGLY. The bible does say to tithe, but is this REALLY what God wants? What the church should say is give what god puts on your heart. That is the only true way to help out the church.
Now my wife will tell you the Bible is one hundred percent true but I personally do not believe that it is. Doesn't matter what any church says or any pastor, preacher or the Pope but everyone has a agenda. The Pope has an agenda and so do other churches. This even goes as far back as when the Bible was originally written. It's also been translated into many languages and with in languages tehre are many versions or translations. There's NIV, KJV, ASB and more. You can likely find a bible that you may be able to infer that something is ok when it really is wrong. People will likely tell you that there's no agenda in the Bible but humans being what they are it is nearly impossible to avoid.
The Bible is a important tool in Chrisitianity, but it's not the only tool. Prayer is another. Prayer is the cell phone to god essentially. We don't always get the answer we want, but we do get answered.
Now that the biblical talk is over, I will share my opinion on this....this guy is scum. Period. Should he be put to death? No way. Should he feel bad? Heck yeah! Should he be put in a Jail with no computer access? Definitely. BUT the main problem with ID theft is it is TOO easy to get this stuff now adays. We need to make credit cards as well as ID cards more difficult to thieve. The code on the back is a start, but it's not the end all be all.
And statisctaclly, how probaable is it that a foam ramp would cause a crack in the tile?? How many times did this same foam piece hit the shuttle? We have been launching shuttles for what....over 20 years now?? We have had 5 flight qualified shuttles not counting the Enterprise. We only lost 2 and flew lots of missions...115 missions to be exact. The total flight miles on the fleet is 430,500,333 miles with a total of 1,045.99 days on orbit. Thats a lot of work. Only 1.73 percent of the missions resulted in a loss of the aircraft vs a 10 percent failure rate for Apollo(counting Apollo 1 and 13 as the only failures...there were other issues like the Skylab 3 mission). Would I get on this machine with this kind of odds?? SURE! TOMORROW! The shuttle, to me, is a successful program. Yes, we lost 14 people in these two disasters. However all 14 went into it knowing the risks. So, in my opinion, we can over analyse this and never get off the ground, or take a calculated risk and do something great.
Is it perfect? No way. We found out making a reusable spacecraft is HARD! Also, being reusable does not automatically mean it's cheaper. What will likely happen in the next generation of spacecraft is it will be less like a plane and more like a capsule. Why? Space is different. Also, simpler machines are easier to protect. We should use this machine to improve upon the technologies we can use to get back to a spacecraft like the shuttle. More test spaceplanes will be needed in the future.
Listen: SPACEFLIGHT IS DANGEROUS!!!! If you wait until everything is 100 percent safe, you will never leave the ground. I am glad someone at NASA had the balls to risk it. We have impotant work to do in space that will need humans. If we are ever to have colonies on the Mars or the Moon we have to risk it. It's just the same as Lewis and Clark, Christopher Columbus and John Cabot. If noone in Europe ever came here, none of us would be here to celebrate Independence Day. I am proud to be a American even if the American's on Slashdot aren't.
Do you know how to resync a HACMP cluster when the LAN is down?....Hmm....me thinks that a Best Buy guy will say yeah I do you just press the little buttons called keys until something happens.....ROFL. HACMP is cool....but when it's broke it's a PAIN IN THE ASS!
Ok so you were bored and wanted to rehash a DEAD HORSE! PLEASE don't do this crap! If I wanted to see this on the damn frontpage again I would have just searched for it. Other then the comments is there anything new with this story? NO! At LEAST you could have looked at the frickin title....and made the title different some how....
It's bad enough when dupes are posted (by a sight that has fulltime editors no less!) but now you have to manufacture stories that look like dupes but really are not??
Oh and it's only free for one year and read the following:
As far as I can tell, no registration or activation is required. The Express edition does have some limitations: no 64-bit support, no source code control integration, no ATL/MFC, no Win32 resource editor, no macro assembler (MASM), and you must download and manually integrate the Platform SDK (using some ugly instructions in the help). However, it does come with the optimizing compiler, can generate 100% native executables, and does have the Threads pane that was taken out during beta 2. I highly recommend getting it, if for no other reason than that it has a very capable GUI debugger.
Pretty hefty limitations considering the 64 bit platforms (Athlon 64) are starting to become populer. I stand by my comment....you ain't going to start ANY project with Express Edition except personal ones.
And anyone who writes REAL apps know that you should really pay for the application. The free version is NOT good enough for production apps in my opinion.
I had MORE problems with my old WRT54G running a Open WRT54G Firmware then I did with either the Linksys shipped Linux or my new version 5's VxWorks based one. I don't get where you say that the VxWorks version is less stable. My v5 has only gone down for cable outages (sometimes required a router bounce....not the fault of the router but of the crappy cable modem) or power outages. When running DD-WRT I had nothing but problems.
Actually, I kind of prefer the filtered submissions that Slashdot has. It stops the Majority of dupes...ok ok I know there's still dupes but it's still not as bad as digg! The one nice thing about digg is that the dupes get digged down (but is it the first story or the second story??). Ask Slashdot's also generate alot of views and the comment system on Slashdot is already better then digg's. That said, I think Rob and the crew are doign some really good things now and the competition is good. I mean Slashdot looked the same for almost 5 years. The recent changes are very nice.
The cost differential might be large now, but at some point, it's going to be way cheaper in the long run to make only one type of drive for end user machines(you need a different kind of drive for servers....you just do). I have seen many desktops and alot of servers use a laptop CD/DVD drive in them. Eventually, they will make a desktop with a motherboard similar in size to a notebook motherboard, but it will have PCI Express or some other new connector for adding peripherals. You can already purchase PC card sound cards. It's a logical progression. On Dell's site, they have a new XPS machine in the notebook section and it's really just a very small and very powerful desktop. I have also seen the Pentium M being used in desktops now. The age of tall towers is going to start to wane. There will always be a need for larger cases, but those cases will now hold much more in storage and other hardware.
And any attempt to want to "hide" things is a breach of parental trust. As anyone knows, once trust is broken, it can only be earned back. Trust is not something my child automatically gets....it's something he earns. If he screws up, then I have every right to look at his e-mail and everything else he does until such time he earns that trust back.
No that's called being stupid. The world of today is even bigger then the world we grew up in. When I was young, I did not have the internet, cable or a iPod. Now there's more things then there ever has been before. Simple rules can keep your kids honest:
1. Computer gets installed in a public place(living room, family room or kitchen). 2. Parents have the right to see what you see on the internet. 3. Parents should have thier kid's passwords or better yet, if your a geek dad, you setup a mailserver to autoforward all of thier mail. 4. You don't follow the rules, then parental spyware gets installed or internet access is taken away(exception being using it for school work).
This isn't about privacy at all. This is protecting your kids from predators.

Which if you read your link was reported harmless....it was a piece of ice.

Which is why you go and get one of the ties at Think Geek. My favorite is the one that spells Ties Suck in binary: http://www.thinkgeek.com/apparel/ties/57ff/
Doesn't look bad or anything.
Got news for you fellow....a Data Center STILL needs raised floors and separate AC units.

I STILL think 1000 is overpriced. As we all know, it's not the software that makes great images but it's the artists behind them.
Yep. Roadrunner does this. I could never and would never do this just to get a WRT54GL.

Rubbish my ass. You are not going to write a full fledged app with an Express edition. It's too limited to write with an app with the Express version.
