"With Microsoft's activation system, they could prevent having their products imported to other countries." Ha Ha Ha They can't prevent anything with that turd!
I have X-10 switches and dimmers all over my house. I've found that if you have 1 incandescent light in the circuit the dimmers work fine. For example, I have several multi-bulb fixtures, I replace all except one of the bulbs with fluorescents and then I can use X-10 to switch and dim them all!
OK, now that you know you have high blood pressure did your doctor tell you to exercise more and eat right? Or did he offer you a pill? Most people can control their blood pressure without taking any medications. Not all but most. Also there are breathing exercises that can substantially lower your blood pressure if you just do them a couple of times a day for 15 minutes. Now, I ask again, did your doctor go straight to the drug you saw on TV?
It really bugs me that after nearly every anti-drug, just-say-no, add there are 4 or 5 pharm. ads pushing their drugs at us. What message are we sending our kids?
You do realize that in an airplane, even if your laptop is WIRED to the seat the signal will HAVE to go wireless at some point. I guess that big real of cat5 coming out of the rear of the plane would work for very short flights.
I've been waiting for these for too long. I am a pilot with a small two seat airplane and have an iPAQ that is currently getting data from my GPS for moving map S.W. and feeding data to my autopilot. I've gone this route because laptops with hard drives don't survive more than a few weeks of being bumped around in the sky. The move to a flash drive is great! $600 is so far down in the noise as far as aircraft costs go that it seems very cheep to me. Sign me up! I'll put it in my Acer 12" Tablet PC and mount that on my panel. Going from 4.5" screen to 12" will be GREAT!
If you took Calculus and Linear Algebra and think it's pointless, I'll never hire you! I have never looked at anything the same way since I took Calculus (many years ago). Linear algebra is used so often in computer science you must be a fool to think it's pointless. Can you say object transformation & rotation? You need to go back and take these classes again since you must have missed the whole point.
XM doesn't build the receivers/transmitters. They are built by many different companies. I use a transmitter in my car but it is NOT made by XM radio. Going after XM would be like going after a car company after you had a tire blow out. Yes you are using it with the car but the tire is made by Goodyear, B.F. Goodrich, etc. They should go after the company who is actually breaking the law!
It really depends on the state laws. Here in New Mexico only 1 party has to know the call is being recorded. So it would only be inadmissible if a third party was recording both sides of the conversation.
How about a distro that boots off of the CD? Make them save to USB thumb drives. Since the CD is finalized they can't mess it up. Since there is no hard drive thay can't change the OS.
Not quite an exact science. They have taken about 50 years of data and correlated that to the CO2 in the top layers of the ice. They then assume that it must be the same throughout all 6.5 billion years of earth's history and that the pressure and temperature of the ice hasn't affected any of the gas. While I am sure that the Earth is warming and that there is varying amounts of CO2, I don't think you can extrapolate the data that far out with any degree of accuracy. I've run lots of laboratory tests and have never been successful in extrapolating the data much outside of the measured readings. Didn't matter whether it was laser tests, weather prediction, explosions, impacts etc. Extrapolating the data to try to guess if the particular phenomenon would work in other scenarios was never very successful. I think this is what they are trying to do so I am skeptical. But you can call me a troll if you want. I won't be offended.
I thought that when one purchases a CD we don't own the songs ony a license to play them. Since the CD is damaged wouldn't I still have the right to listen to the songs?
I don't think the FDA would approve of such a device. I wanted a CPAP machine to control snoring. (Nothing more than a pressure regulated air compressor which would cost ~$25 if sold over the counter at Wal-Mart!) Could I buy one? No. You must see a doctor ($1200 consultation), have a sleep study ($2500) and get a prescription to own a $1200 air compressor! There are no known side effects and is not harmfull in ANY way. Thank you FDA. I finally found one on Craigs List and now my wife sleeps much better since my snoring has stopped. Oh, and the doctor is required to remove some of the manuals before handing the patient his new CPAP machine. I found the missing manual on eBay. This is a good example of what is wrong with our "Health Care System". Since this device is FDA regulated, and the insurance company is paying for it, they lock it up and over charge everyone! What a rip off! If any other industry operated this way they would be given jail time.
If virtualization is the answer, it must have been a very stupid question. IMHO Gartner "studies" just keep get weirder and weirder. I quit trusting their studies long ago.

Not quite. Try playing your licensed song in a public venue. Now you need another license.
If the user has physical access to the computer you are fooling yourself if you think you can stop them with UAC.

They can't hear the traffic either. Let's just make deafness illegal! Morons.

All of my access points run at 5v DC. Should be easy to get that from a Boeing. I'm running a PDA out of my Experimental aircraft.

I'll never use 100% of the PS3's CPU power. I'm boycotting SONY and will never use ANY of the CPU's power.

But does it come with the new Sony rootkit? Boycot ALL Sony products!
I too am boycotting SONY. Never again. I don't care how cool their technology is. The best that could happen is that SONY goes bankrupt!
Agreed! I have also always said that if we try to do anything to "Fix" it we will do the wrong thing and make it worse.

Don't buy anything from that root kit installing piece of $hi* company!
