Nicaragua did at one point own that portion of land before they gave it up to Costa Rica officially in 1958. http://www.mycostaricalink.com/blog/costa-rica/545/annexation-of-guanacaste-july-25th/

I'm all for Dell bashing, but what happened to America where the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty. It seems like every lawsuit implies some guilt on the part of the accused? Really?

They do (in Chrome), just drag an image file to the body instead of the attachment area.

Yes, you can RDP on Android. Not sure about iPhone.

But will it run Crysis? No mod points, but parent is right. Technology like this will move real games into the browser. I won't be long before the DirectX toolset it setup to render in HTML5. If Microsoft can grab this then their little netbooks with shared GPU could actually push out some decent gaming and graphic capabilities to you live in a browser (without the need for hard drives).

We have been doing this in Montana for a long time. When the AC units get frozen over we start pumping filtered air from the outside into the server room.

Bah, you call that news? Try:
      "Humans Nearly Went Extinct 27 Years Ago"
the commander's Wikipedia entry says he:

"deviated from standard Soviet doctrine by correctly identifying a missile attack warning as a false alarm on September 26, 1983.[1] This decision most likely resulted in preventing an accidental retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its Western Allies."

You can follow any of the links in the above search, or here's a particularly lively read.

The solution is a paywall you can climb over with a little effort: a pay model that you can circumvent with a little research and time/effort. Then, you can retain everyone who's too price sensitive to pay; that means they don't flock to your competition. Meanwhile, the people who have money for it are not going to waste their valuable time (since their time IS money) circumventing the paywall, it's cheaper for them to just pay. Finally, despite being a pay site, they can retain some advertising, and if 10 million people are jumping the pay fence, that's ten million more eyeballs; granted, it's the poorest ones, but you can still sell them nachos and light beer.

>For a guy with planck in his name you really need to read up on particle physics

ironically, that's the exact opposite of the advice given to Planck:

The Munich physics professor Philipp von Jolly advised Planck against going into physics.

No will is truly free. Free will is such a misnomer. There are always limitations in the system.

Mod parent up, Bluetooth 3 is on the right track. WiFi radios are so battery expensive, but hugely beneficial in transferring large data files. BT3 will have the ability for the profile to initiate a secure direct WiFi connection only for the life span of the transfer and then turn off the radios again thus keeping this as low-power impacting as possible. Until someone comes up with low power WiFi, BT will be around for a long time.

And by firewalls, I mean secretaries, or at least someone to check and occasionally massage quite abrasive and personalizing correspondence. It's very simple: Linus was right. He had reason to be pissed. But Cox is important. ANYONE who knows who Cox is would have looked at Linus's letter and saw immediately that it needed some small changes, if nothing else to let Cox save face.

The problem is made even worse by drugs that leave important academic users super-focused (not saying Linus is on any) -- the more clearly you see "idiocy" the more important it is to have a firewall take out words like that.

Actually, Linus's e-mail includes the word "idiotic" explicitly.

I doubt what I'm saying will have many takers around here, but posting at +2 in case anyone has any interesting responses for me.

nvm... rtfa
