Can one of the Australians tell me how you would write the following?

Looks interesting. Does anyone know of an open source PDF viewer for Windows?

They were also dumb enough to bring a secret prototype phone to a bar.

I'm also hoping that Apple's change of developer terms doesn't affect PhoneGap, which looks like it could be a nice tool for cross-platform development.

This isn't about running JVMs or interpreted code, there are various products that will actually generate iPhone compatible binaries. See: Flash CS5 and Unity3D. Notice that this announcement was made one day before Adobe was to release CS5. It reeks of anti-competitiveness to me.

Steve just decided a couple days before Adobe Creative Suite CS5 was released that in order to write code for the iPhone it has to be written in C, C++, or Objective-C. I don't care how great the iPhone is, this is just ridiculous.

I'll wait for the 2TB Samsung to drop in price a bit more.

Depending on the seller, some accept other forms of payment. When I sold things on eBay I accepted Paypal, cashiers checks, money orders, and personal checks with a 2 week waiting period.

He said "32 4Gbps dual port FC HDDs", there's no size listed.

I wish they would just release the extended editions. I have only seen the extended edition of Two Towers. I just watched all three movies for the first time 2 weeks ago. I'd like to see the extended editions of Fellowship and Return of the King. But, I'll wait for HD versions, DVD looks like...

If it's used for temporary storage, who cares.

Can you buy one and let us know if it's a scam or not?

I've heard future versions of Google Maps will give turn by turn voice directions. I just don't know when that will be released.

I understood.

Do you know when the extended editions will be released on blu-ray?

Well, post a picture if you implement this.

What's the purpose of this?

The Iridium network was bought by Iridium Satellite LLC from Motorola who had invested the majority of the money to construct the network. According to that Wikipedia article they are planning on launching more satellite in 2014.

I was able to clone the drive successfully with Acronis. No activation necessary.

10.5 isn't available for Linux yet, so I can't install it.

If people here had to use Eclipse as much as a web browser then they would have something real to complain about. Eclipse has got to be one of the worst resource hogs in existence. It makes Photoshop look downright well behaved.

I remove the X with Tab Mix plus in Firefox. I attached my Tab Mix Plus settings if anyone wants to see how weird it is.

Since you are on Fedora 8, you almost certainly don't have the latest version of Samba, unless you built it from source. I would think your best bet is to install a new distro and see if your problem persists.

Are you actually knocking an Apple product?

I either middle click tabs to close them or hit CTRL-w. Relying on UIs not to change is silly, every new version of software has a new UI. However, keyboard shortcuts are much more stable and don't change nearly as often. That is why I rely on keyboard shortcuts almost exclusively. I can...

DD, here's another project for you.

Illinois has a ban on talking and texting, yet hands free is still allowed. I don't understand the logic with that one, especially with the amount of evidence that has come to light on the subject recently. I still see people with a phone to their ear every day. Without proper enforcement and...

Here's some statistics. Seems like a lot to me. I personally know two people that have been hit by cars in the last couple years. One was almost killed right outside of my office. Multiple broken bones and 6 months of recover time. Not something I want to personally experience.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Though it wasn't directed at any specific person on this forum. Looks like you joined the debate anyways.

Most likely. When I walk around the area where I live I don't use headphones, talk on the phone, or text. This probably does more for my safety than a handgun ever would. There's an added benefit that I will be more likely to avoid getting hit by a vehicle (which happens quite a bit in crowded...

I would use TrueCrypt.

No one has even stooped to name calling or invoking Godwin's Law yet.

That's good to know. I haven't finished setting up the first machine, but hopefully it will work the way you say. It's a 6-cell battery. I guess it's light enough. The screen seems good to me. If it was for me I would have gone with a 13.x" screen at the same resolution. But, it's not for me.

On the north side of Chicago there was a spat of muggings last summer. The perpetrators would sneak up on people (mostly young men) from behind and punch them or knock them down, give them a mild beating and then steal their cell phones and wallets. From the stories I read there were never any...

Gotcha. There are 64 bit versions of Java and Flash (beta) though, so I don't think that would be a major problem. The computer came with the 32 and 64 bit versions of Java preinstalled. I run the x86_64 version of Flash in Linux and have never had a problem with it. I'm still not buying the...

I'll just stick with the x86 version on Windows. I've been running the x86_64 version of Firefox in Linux since August, never had a problem installing any extensions.

How is it more complicated? There are other reasons to run the 64 bit version than just memory consumption.

Is there a x86_64 version of Firefox for Windows?

I'll tell them you sent me...

This notebook is quite a bit bigger than I was expecting. I don't think I ever used a 15.6" widescreen before.

Will I need to contact Microsoft for that?

Well, if Clonezilla doesn't work all you've lost is time (don't know how valuable that is to you).

I received both of the notebooks today. I would like to setup everything the way I want on one of the machines and then take a disk image and restore it to the other notebook. Is this feasible? Will I have to reactivate Windows? Any other caveats I'm not considering?

CentOS is great for a server OS. I just prefer more up-to-date packages, which is why I use Fedora. Other distros that I have heard good things about recently are OpenSuse and Mandriva, both use KDE by default as well.

You could try Clonezilla. It's free and open source.

The Samsung 2TB drive from Newegg dropped in price to $149.99 today if anyone was waiting for that to happen.

That phone looks nice. I'd rather have a physical keyboard, but it seems that physical keyboards are being phased out in a lot of phones. I have another year on my contract though.

Let me know if you have figure out what the package is called, I wouldn't have the first clue of what to look for.

That's nice. Do you know what their web interface is built on? Can it be used with other Linux distros?

It was sarcastic. I doubt moving to KDE would have any effect. You could try using a distro that is more up to date. I prefer Fedora with KDE right now.
