This suggests that drunk / otherwise lame drivers get caught and punished. Unfortunately, this is not true. For example, my hitter got away with a penalty of a few hundred euros. Quite a contrast with the € 85.000+ damage he made. Not to mention wrecking my back.

She'll find enough distractions without her cell phone, like you pointed out already, and therefore will still run you over. I was run over by an old man. Perfect weather, within city limits. Didn't even break. Only got stopped by a big city bus he hit next. Claimed he didn't see me, standing still on the middle of the road on a bright yellow motorcycle, lights on So don't think this phone jammer will make much of a difference.

So what? Photoshop was not the first pixel manipulator, not by far even.

Oh well, I should know better than to take it personally. After all /. is more about how the comments can give a spin to the subject than that there is much debate about it.

In my defense: My native language is Dutch and I never really speak English, just read it on the 'net. I dare any native American without a specific education in languages to write the same text in Dutch without errors. (I wondered why nobody bothered to put this on slashdot but now I can think of something)

Flash will be just as common on phones as it is on desktops and laptops.

So it's not important for MS to get attention for their products? I guess they don't care that their Zune was a flop either then. Are you suggesting they created it for flopping? If there's one reson they are in the business market, it's because they failed in consumer markets.

This has happend before with bank data from Germans at a foreign bank that were stolen by an employe and then sold to the German authorities. There was a lot of discussion but in the end the German gouvermant DID use the data. Again, the same thing is about to happen in the Netherlands, with data from banks in other parts of Europe. The Dutch tax department offers offenders a 'inkeerregeling': If you turn in the illegal foreign savings, you get a much lower fine than if you take your chances and wait for them to find them. If they ever will because it's not sure if this evidence will hold in Dutch court. This inkeerregeling has turned out to be very successful so far

Now you can only hide it in the dock, then you could also roll it up to the bar anywhere on the screen. In OS9, if you'd click on another folder, the active folder would retract back to the bottom of the screen automatically (if I remember correctly). The label of the 'hidden' folder was a lot easier to hit then the icon in the dock, but then again, this has also to do with the fact that my screen resolution is quadrupled since.

I thought they ment the digital synthesizer from Yamaha..

The dock is nice but I'd still trade it in any time for it's predecessor, the hide-up-to-the-label / pop-up-again type of folders of OS 9.

Most right-handed people hold their phone in their left hand, because they use their right hand to dial. That requires more precision. After that you don't take it over to tour left hand because holding it to to your ear is easy, even with your left hand.

Agreed, except I'd expect most of them to at least try to find a job that matches their education for half a year to a year.

I'm not sure exactly what schools are meant by 'creative arts' but in the Netherlands - and I bet in most of the Western world - art school students with a degree are have a lot of trouble finding a job at all in arts. So 83% is a fantastic score, specially considering the economic being unstable etc.
