I have a pair of Bose Q2C's that I've used a few times while flying but eventually ditched in favor of Shure e2c's. Although the Bose Q2C's are more comfortable, the active noise canceling doesn't work quite as well as in-ear headphones. Plus earphones are less bulky and I don't need to pack so many AAA batteries to carry around.
When Jaime Escuder, a University of Chicago law student, was searching for a professor to supervise an independent project on prisonersâ(TM) rights, he turned to Barack Obama, but not for his politics. As a student in Obamaâ(TM)s constitutional law class in 2001, Escuder was impressed by his teacherâ(TM)s ability to see both sides of an argument. âoeI figured Obama would respect the stance I took in the paper, whether or not he agreed with it,â Escuder, now a public defender in Illinois, told me. In the project, Escuder forcefully advocated for prisonersâ(TM) having the freedom to procreate. Obama gave him guidance on honing his argument â" but never told him if he agreed. When he did venture an opinion, it was to prod Escuder to consider real-world implications. On running into Escuder at the Hyde Park Co-op one weekend morning, Obama said: âoeI donâ(TM)t think that youâ(TM)re giving adequate consideration to how difficult it will be for prison officials to care for pregnant women. Iâ(TM)ve been dealing with this recently, and believe me, it isnâ(TM)t easy.â Escuder assumed Obama was talking about being a father.
Lithium ion batteries tend to lose 20% current max capacity on a yearly basis stored at room temperature.
On top of that, charge cycles do reduce the life of the battery. I work for a company that supplies laptop batteries to Apple, HP, Dell and one of the tests that we're required to show is an x% max capacity after y number of cycles.
Faster charging also deteriorates the anode compound faster and will reduce the max capacity faster as a result.
Isn't it open source? If there's such a high demand, why doesn't someone just re-compile under a different name? Sort of like the Red Hat / Fedora relationship.
Why is Sarah Palin using a private account when she is Governor?
Because there are laws in place that say what you can and cannot do with government services and equipment. What you do not seem to get is she was abiding by these laws. Thats why she has 2 (or more) email accounts. The hacker ought to be prosecuted, he even said he did it with malicious intent
Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.
Can't they refit some of the SUV / truck lines in the US to produce the ECOnetic? I realize there are still refitting costs involved but it would readjust their production output to more closely match market demands and result in higher revenue.

I don't understand how they are calculating the numbers. The press release states breaking the 24hr barrier but the specs indicate the best time is nowhere near that: HP Compaq 6930p UMA Good: 6 hours, 15 minutes Better: 13 hours Best: 17 hours, 15 minutes
The press release says that using an LED screen is +4 hours, and SSD drive is +7%. That's still 17.25 * 1.07 + 4 = ~ 22hr 30min.
There is an Intel Google gadget for detailing current laptop watt usage. There probably is a standalone application that does the same thing from Intel.
Disclaimer: I work for an Asian supplier (not Foxconn) that provides parts for Dell/HP/Apple computers.
What Dell is doing here is simply reducing in-house manufacturing and focusing on computer design. This is essentially what Apple does and what AMD is doing by selling its fabs.
There is (relatively) little profit margin in manufacturing. This is why IBM sold its Lenovo division and got out of the desktop/laptop market. Factories have high fixed costs (manufacturing equipment, etc) and depends on volume and process efficiency to survive.
Obviously Dell's manufacturing plants are only allowed to make Dell computers. If the company is having a bad year it has to absorb a lot of fixed costs from idle factories. It the company is having a particularly good year it is difficult to react and ramp up production in such a short time. However as a 3rd party supplier, my company can solicit contracts from other companies to balance out the ebb and flow from one. Think of it as riding one stock vs a mutual fund.
As a side note, it's gotten to the point where the more developed Asian countries that used to do manufacturing now outsource to China, Malaysia, or the Phillipines. As China's quality of life and wages have been growing, Chinese firms have begun outsourcing to Africa now (not for tech manufacturing AFAIK).
I use SpamGourmet for a few years now. You can e-mails that auto-expire after x amount of e-mails and/or add trusted domains that don't toggle the e-mail count.
From my business law professor: "Not responsible for windshield damage" on the back of construction trucks do not absolve them of damage from debris, but it reduces claims by 75%.
It may not hold up in court, but if it reduces the chance of someone suing then you might as well use it since it can't hurt.
Under state law, "improper photography" is defined as taking a photograph of someone or visually recording them without the person's consent and with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person. If convicted, Nguyen could face up to two years in a state jail.
The state's indecent exposure law does not bar women from being topless in public.
James Hemphill, a First Amendment lawyer in Austin whose clients include the American-Statesman, said that under a broad interpretation of privacy laws, a person implicitly gives consent to be photographed by being in a public place.
"As a matter of constitutional law, given that a person is in public and given that a photographer is in a public place and given no extraordinary technology is used, the Constitution must require that photography be allowed and not punished," Hemphill said.
"The lines start to blur when a person is in a private place but is visible from a public place, or with the using of technology to capture an image not visible with the unaided eye," he said.
I ask a lot of questions on Ubuntu Forums and they are very helpful. However it sometimes gets frustrating because it feels like level 1 support. You get the same canned answers and if the issue still isn't resolved within 2-3 replies you're SOL.
However since most of my questions aren't Ubuntu specific, I will usually get more in-depth responses from LinuxQuestions.org or perhaps some other forums.
The Ubuntu IRC support channel isn't my cup of tea either, but it's there for people who prefer it.
You mean like WM Wifi Router? Yeah I've been using that for about 18 months now already without the need to jailbreak my phone. Plus Sprint's SERO plan offers unlimited texting and data for $30 / month.
Sure the carb was simpler to build and maintain, but that doesn't necessarily make it better either. It's less fuel efficient and produces more emissions which is a significant concern this day and age. You may have to use chip your car in order to get the same tuneability as before, but now you have the option of being more fuel efficient when you want it.
So Obama visits Google campus and meets with Eric Schmidt to garner support for his nomination last year.
Eric goes, "So I'm going to treat this as a regular interview and ask you a few questions. First off, if you had an array of 1 million+ values how would you go about sorting it?"
Obama replies, "Well I definitely wouldn't be using a bubble sort . .."

I think a very good article that demonstrates this fact is Obama's record as a law professor.

1) Laptop batteries are horribly expensive right now because of a cell shortage in the market.
2) If they really are lasting 30m to 45m after 18 months, you can probably get them replaced under warranty.

There may be some exceptions to this rule. For example, a Houston tourist was arrested in Austin for photographing two topless women in public. However that arrest is being fought using the logic that "being in a public place implicitly gives consent to being photographed."
NFL tends to sweep a lot of physical problems under the rug. For example, take the case of where a 44 year old ex-defensive back experienced Alzheimer's and had the brain of an 85 year old man, which may have lead to his suicide.

You can also check out Freecycle in many major cities.
Dell Latitudes (at least some of them) have trackpoints as well.

I've used WMWifiRouter many times with Sprint's SERO plan to bittorrent files (I max out at 100 kB/s up and down on EVDO) on my HTC Mogul.
Combined that with the fact that Sprint's early termination fees have recently been ruled illegal in one county and you have a pretty good setup, but most people can't see past the iPhone. *shrugs*
