If Amazon does indeed give you a guaranteed delivery date and the item doesn't arrive on time you can complain to CS and they'll give you 5 to 10 dollars off/one month of free prime.
Yeah, I'm sad, too. I just had recommended the feature to my significant other for letting people schedule their use of a joint workspace, and I was considering using the system for scheduling volunteers at co-op. Anybody know of a good alternative for scheduling appointments?
Oh please. There are plenty of good reasons to prefer OSM over Google Maps and other non-free maps and I am an active contributor myself. But using this case as an argument? No. I've seen plenty of phantom cities added to OSM, either by mistake or intentionally. My favorite was a road shaped like the Batman symbol somewhere in the mountains of Washington. In addition, OSM does import a whole bunch of data (from government sources etc.) and thus it's quite possible that they could replicate someone else's mistakes.
Well, it's one thing to impose restrictions on air traffic over your own air space. But imposing restrictions on traffic that only gets near your airspace, as in a flight from London to Montreal? That's quite a different thing. Thanks Canada for playing along.
The MacBook Pro15-inch (Thunderbolt) has several screen options, all of which require that you pay a significant premium, although I can't think of many consumer laptops that have an anti-glare screen (a $150 option).
So yes, there is a non-glossy option. I find it somewhat odd that the reviewers compares the MBP to "many consumer laptop." Most of the business line models od Dell, HP, Lenovo have non-glossy displays or at least offer the option, too.
Excuse me, but that is not entirely true -- you're mixing up two different things. Yes, there are vans that can detect certain kinds of EMR but this has nothing to do with the obligatory fee you have to pay for watching (public broadcasting) TV. It's more about locating pirate radio stations or faulty/unlicensed electronic equipment that is interfering with TV reception or other things. That the GEZ, the agency which collects the TV/radio fee, has TV-detection equipment, too, is an urban myth.
With regard to the grandparent: I guess the government could easily detect wifi routers; but given the sheer number that doesn't sound practical. I guess in the end it will be similar to the current situation: you can have an open access point but you are made legally responsible for any abuse that is done via your internet connection. Which is the reason why the number of open APs is drastically smaller than in the US.
Have you checked out UFO: Alien Invasion? It's "heavily inspired by the X-COM series" (and if they say "heavily" they mean it!), supports network gameplay, and is licensed under GPL. And it has no underwater missions:-)

Virtualbox Goes OSS

· Score: 2, Informative
Quick (and presumably poor) translation of their conclusion:
With VirtualBox a technologically mature virtualization software for Windows and Linux enters the ring and it has a lot to offer: stability, performance, use both as workstation and server, lots of supported guest systems, and a many niceties that make the use of virtual machines comfortable -- and all this as open source. Weaknesses only occur only appear with advanced function for server consolidation. Vmware, VirtualPC, and others better watch out.

TFA mentions *tickets* only, not boarding passes. May be sloppy language on their end. But if not: I haven't seen a paper airline ticket in ages.
