And needing more graphics power than was considered normal in order to display a modern UI.
And UAC being maybe the most annoying thing ever added to any piece of software ever.
And inexpicably long file transfer times.
And backward compatibility.
I used the Vista RCs extensively and couldn't stand them, even on excellent hardware. This past weekend I spent an hour or so helping a friend set up his new Vista laptop and network and was reminded of why I can't stand Vista even on hot off the presses high end laptop hardware. The UI lags no matter how much computing power you throw its way. UAC still requires multiple approvals before executing one task. Even with an SSD traversing directories is still too slow.
I've been running the Win 7 RC and have to say that it appears to fix most all of Vista's problems apart from UAC. It is probably good enough to get me to take advantage of bootcamp, which Vista certainly was not.
What 'airline grade black box' do you have? Because the FDR in a commercial airplane is not an empty box in which a person could put a hard drive to survive a house fire, it is purpose built. They essentially start with memory floating in fire gel and build layers of insulation around it.
General data storage safes can be had. UL or Omega rated gun safes will do as well. A safe builder near me will supply them with a 120v outlet and an RJ45 jack, so your in-safe NAS is always up to date.
English is not my native language but I've been speaking it quite a long time. But I did fuck up that post.
Shingles are typically made by passing a thin fiberglass reinforcement under what is essentially a pipe out of which asphalt is pouring. The asphalt is about 200 celsius. The fiberglass reinforcement is moving at a speed of about 1200 feet per minute.
The possibility exists that the solar panels are added to the shingle in a separate process, glued on or the like, after they've been produced on a traditional shingle manufacturing line.
The article states "can be integrated with" rather than "built into". They also quote a generic install time as compared to existing solar panels, not a time per square or some similar thing.
I don't know what temperature solar cells can handle but the shingle lines I've seen run coat with asphalt at around 200C. They also run around 1200 feet per minute, so you'd have to be laying those cells down pretty damn fast.
This folks, is an advertisement for giving back to the community. Spend your free time reverse engineering a product, freely share what you've learned with others, get called 'some guy' on Slashdot.
I bet if he got arrested over it there'd be T shirts.
Make the record companies stop pretending to "sell" music and go back to selling physical objects: CDs with cover art and liner notes with a higher sound quality than MP3s.
They could do that now if they thought it was a viable business model. Maybe they don't because they are too heavily invested in the current model's infrastructure, I don't claim to know.
I do know that judging from the audio equipment you see dominating shelves, the masses aren't too picky about sound quality. Decent cover art and liner notes might be something worth returning to, but digital distributors will almost certainly be able to outdo them there (with the exception of providing a physical copy). It will be interesting to see how Apple LPs sell.
You should probably recalibrate whatever device you are using to divine a stranger's policitcal affiliation via a single sentence post on the internet.
Since you want to veer the discussion outside the scope of whether or not it matters to a dead guy that the person who killed him was doing something illegal, we already have laws to deal with distracted drivers. And driving drunk and speeding and changing lanes without signalling and driving with a baby in your lap. What would help most, I think, is if good laws were actually enforced, as opposed to adding more marginal laws to further sap whatever enforcement there is to go around.
The problem with people like you is you think passing a law accomplishes something. Like the people who supported this one. You are all well meaning, but unenforced laws (or those that entirely overlap) are worse than no laws at all.
The ATF issued a statement to Montana FFLs reminding them of their obligations to the Federal Government under their licenses. I expect a test case to come from a non-licensee, if one ever comes, and for that non-licensee to end up in a Federal prison.
eBay is not obligated to provide you with a place to exercise your rights.
And you are incorrect about what Congress can do. At least in practice. Try building your own firearm in, say, the state of Montana, and selling it to another resident of the state of Montana.
No more so than my computer is a phone because I have Skype. I'd actually rather my iPhone was less phone-centric, particularly with out of band notifications. Most everyone I know with a Blackberry would probably choose email as the last to go if they had to manage power.
Smartphones are also getting caught up in the same software/hardware race that computers are in.
Opening Google Maps is painfully slow on an Edge iPhone. On a 3GS it is much faster....but sooner or later Google Maps will add features that will bog it down. So another hardware upgrade will be in order and the cycle will repeat.
Microsoft is probably itching to slap Aero glass into Winmo, if only someone would increase battery capacity by a few thousandfold.

Repeater mode, probably?
All the early generation industrial robots were just as easily compromised. In fact, most all industrial machinery still is.
Luckily most of that is bolted to the floor. You can make those AGV forklifts do frightening things though.
don't sell our airspace to corporations who want to make it as difficult as possible to move freely between other options in the marketplace.
You've already sold that airspace. Why do you think you should be able to apply new terms to that old deal?

Yeah. We should do a Microsoft article so we can show the world how shitty they are and make they bastards straighten up!

Here is the resurrection of his Blindwino site, which is where the AC's copy pasta came from.

I wonder why I selected Montana as my example?

Maybe I don't share your faith in the power of the state, but I doubt they will be able to resurrect the dead guy either.
That is a self propelled walk behind, not a push mower.
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but my brother own a lawn equipment shop and I do his IT work, so I blame him.
Until I rob you using that gun from Duck Hunt.

What push mower sells for $3,000?
The point, maybe not his, is that one side of the argument has the means to enforce those preferences.
That is always the point.
Govenment, by passing laws, can't give you that freedom.
We already have perfectly good laws against negligent driving, all they need is to be implemented correctly
You've just won the discussion.
DHS is sending out reports warning against pretty much anything anyone working for them can dream up, no matter how comic book.
I was an 0311/8541 in the USMC, and I don't think it is a legitimate threat.
