CDMA is a standard. Bell and Telus are both CDMA providers in Canada. Unfortunately they also refuse to activate each others phones onto their networks. Since the ID is part of the phone and not a removable chip your Bell phone will always be a Bell phone.
If you want to go GSM here, you can go with any of our long list of GSM providers: Rogers.
Except not all cars are used in California climates, some in colder regions may not want to lose the little bit of sun heating in the winter, but *everyone* will suffer for California's laws (and I'm living in California) because automakers generally make 50-state cars.
As a Canadian, I would welcome this coating. Driving in the summer is bad, and if this can help make the inside of my car more manageable, then yes, put it in. The sun doesn't give you any real heat in a freezing car in the winter, so I don't really see a loss there.
If you want people to use less gas, just tax gas and push money back into public transit. If you want to make glazed glass a no-cost consumer choice, give people a tax credit when they register the car.
And both can not be done? Gas taxes may get people to stop driving unnecessarily, sure. I ride my bike to work when weather permits. But why stop there? If there is a way to ease emissions from cars that are still being used, by all means do it. Make it mandatory.
I don't see what the big deal is.
What platform is this? I've been using DPI adjustments on various laptops for a quite a while now to avoid squinting and eye strain.
I concur. I've got an Apple Airport Express on the living-room stereo. I routinely redirect my music to it from the Pulse Audio volume control. Much nicer than the tinny sound from the laptop speakers, and nicer than running a cord across the room.
Arguably true if Time Machine only does on-disk backups, which only solves the "oops, I deleted/changed a file" scenario. By default, TM wants an external disk locally (USB or Firewire) or through the network (time capsule), solving the more important "oops, I ran over my laptop with a truck" scenario.
To support ZFS snapshots on-disk and keep current functionality off-disk would mean maintaining two backends.
Also, I have not used ZFS, but are ZFS snapshots similar to LVM snapshots in that unassigned space is required for the delta? I'd like to see the genius bar describe that to the average Mac user.
I'll agree with you. I never really understood why the iPod became the gold-standard for music devices.
My iRiver ihp-120 is still going strong. It has FM radio support as well, and this is going back to late 2003. The screen is really the only complaint one could have compared to a "modern" device.
I've since installed rockbox and upgraded the hard disk. I don't see very many devices these days that are competitive with this one.
Try finding anything like Portage somewhere else. Ports is far away from it. And don't get me started about the dependency hell of RPMs
It would be an apt idea to try out a few other systems again. RPM a lot more yummy than in the past.
Granted I haven't used gentoo in a few years, but other than an ebuild being easier to make than building a debian package or spec files, I don't really know what you're getting at.
I don't think the goal is to have solar-powered commuter vehicles, the goal is to create new ways to use less power in an electric vehicle. If the race was for electric vehicles, it would be a race for more batteries.
Designing their car to run on an finite amount of power requires improving efficiencies across the board, and some really imaginitive thinking. So when electric commuter vehicles ARE made that do use lots of batteries, we get much better useage from them.
Wouldn't it be substantially easier to just set a really strong SSH password and use key-based auth if you need to configure your router remotely?
My girlfriend does not like SciFi at all. I got her to tough out season 1. By the end, she was rather pissed off the "movies" were so crap and the 'Voices' dvds only had the one release.
Now we've moved on to Alien Nation, so we're probably setting ourselves up again...
Mandriva is trying something similar. Starting X+GDM earlier in the boot process.

High school sure is different now days, and I'm only in my 20's!
Cache/swap for video or large image editing?
Assuming one does not have a motherboard that supports crazy amounts of memory, or for retrofitting into existing machines (such as a mac pro)
I've had very little interaction with the BES at work, and we use it with exchange, so the process might be different with real mail servers. From my limited and basic understanding, when an email comes in, a copy goes to exchange and to the bb. So if you back up the exchange store, you get all mail.
So there is your traceability and accountability.
I'd lean toward it being a "security" issue: forged messages, interception, etc.
Does bb mail support gpg? That would add some accountability

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron, but it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all, it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you, doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own. It would be like if, well, say you had ten times the television audeince we did and you flood our market with great shows, cheaper than we could produce. I know you'd never do that.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours. As word of apology, please accept all of our NHL teams which, one by one, are going out of business and moving to your fine country.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against
Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I see you've rebuilt it! It's very nice.
I'm sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. Because we've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
