Hey Friend, As per my knowledge the China Mobile does not require the PC suit. They connect to the computer as removable hard drive to perform all the operation. And also it seems that some of the PC suit is being in the Phone itself. It only requires the Data Cable to connect to the Computer. So connect it and enjoy.

Like other page layout applications, InDesign allows users to control the appearance of every element on a page. It helps format elements with style sheets, which collect formatting attributes for easy replication. But that's where the similarities end. InDesign CS3 One-on-One: Style Sheets demonstrates why InDesign's style sheets are far more powerful than anything found in any other page layout program. Pioneering electronic publisher and author Deke McClelland goes to the heart of InDesign's style sheets, and discusses how they define and guide just about every other program feature. He covers how to format words, paragraphs, whole frames, objects, tables, and even entire stories with a single click. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts for InDesign Style Sheets from the Exercise Files tab.
Oh Man! I had fun in that last exercise. So here is the deal. In this exercise, now that we have fastidiously aligned the numbers inside of our numbered list, we need to similarly fastidiously align the bullets in the bulleted list. Here is what I want to see happen. I am going to ahead and zoom in a little bit. Actually, let's move over; it's going to be a little easier if we move over to the left-hand page. Let's go ahead and scroll upward until we can find those bullets right there. By the way, I am still working inside that Precise guides.indd file that I opened at the outset of the previous exercise.
So some changes have been made. Now, what I am going to do is setup another guide that is exactly aligned where these bullets are intended to, which is to say another 1p6, essentially another quarter inch in and because I am working on the right-hand page, it happens to align properly to the ruler tick marks. I can take advantage of the Shift key as you are dragging a vertical guide or horizontal guide but I have got a vertical guide going. If I am pressing hold the Shift key notice that I am going to move from one tick mark to another.
So I am constraining the location of this vertical guideline to a tick mark. So I still have the Shift key down, I am going to move it in to this location so the guide is perfectly aligned with the text and then I will release my mouse button and then I will release the Shift key. Now, when I created another vertical guide that is centered between these two locations here, and 1p6, by the way, as I was saying before, it's 1 pica 6 points. There are 12 points in a pica, so that's actually 18 points between these two locations.
So I want to move this guy back 9 points. So I am going to go up to the X location here, the X item that is inside of the Control palette. This guideline is still selected as indicated by the fact that it's dark blue. I will subtract, so enter a minus sign and I will say a 9 pts, 9 points or it could just be 9 pt if you want to; you don't have to get that tense right. Then I'll go ahead and press Alt+Enter or Option+Return on the MAC in order to clone the guide as I created a new guide and it's now exactly the right location. Here is the upshot.
I want my bullets to align to this 9 points-in location right there. So I want the bullets to be centered between these two guidelines and so they would be centered right on that new selected guideline. Alright, isn't this fun? Let's go to Step Bullet. Double click on it, go down here, the Bullets and Numbering, go to the Alignment option. So I am working on the Step Bullet item this time by the way. We want it to be aligned center at this time. That's not going to do really much in a way of any positive good, because what InDesign is doing at this point is it's trying to center the bullet set- well, I don't even know what location at this point, some weird location actually between -1p2 which would be about here and this location right there.
So it just would be this arbitrary totally not right location. Let's go ahead and click inside the First Line Indent and I am going to press the up-arrow key until I reduce this value to 0p9, -0p9, which is exactly where the bullets need to be centered. So it's centered on that first line indent right there on that guideline. Click OK to accept your modification and all is well. Ah! Such happiness when we get the numbers and bullets aligned properly inside of InDesign.
Alright, that takes care of this document, it is totally completely done. I am going to press the W key to hide all of those guides, which are really getting on my face now. This is the finished version, as I say, of this document. There is one more thing though that I want to pass along where automatic numbering is concerned; InDesign's ability to automatically number across different stories. This is an incredibly cool feature. It's still a little bit fastidious and it's a little bit odd and but it will save you so much time where figure numbering is concerned and I will show you how that works using a different document in the very next exercise.

This may be the best Bob Cole story I've ever heard. Courtesy of Classic Television Showbiz
Coley would settle in for a game. He'd get up in the booth and he'd undo his tie and he was getting ready to do his work. Sometimes to get really comfortable, he'd undo his belt.
So, there was a game against Quebec at Le Colisée … Coley's up there calling the game and Mickey Redmond is his color guy. The game is intense. Coley would bounce up and down on his seat a lot. That was a part of his intensity … he'd really get into the game. He'd be body-checking.
A goal was scored and he shoots up out of his seat with excitement and in the small broadcast space that they've got him in, there's these, sort of, plumbing pipes across the top. Coley fires up out of his seat in excitement and bangshis head on one of these pipes. Coley of course doesn't have any padding in the way of hair that's going to help. So he bangs his head and he's sort of holding his head not saying anything and now his pants start to fall down because he undid his belt! He's holding his head and his pants…
Mickey is looking at him and he can't keep from laughing! He doesn't want to laugh on the air, so Mickey can't say anything. And the [production] truck is starting to yell at him. "What's going on!? Here's the replay! Say something about the replay! SAY SOMETHING!" Mickey can't say anything and Coley is holding his head and trying to pull his pants up and the dust is raining down… (story told by Doug Beeforth)
Guess the lesson of the day is don't loosen your belt before calling a hockey game.

Don't Forget Ijams' and Legacy Parks' Contributions
The South Knoxville Neighborhood and Business Coalition learned that the Knox County budget as presented significantly cuts funding for Ijams Nature Center and the Legacy Parks Foundation. ["Budget Battle," Citybeat by Jesse Fox Mayshark, May 26, 2011] Our organization voted unanimously to ask county commissioners not to vote for a budget that is so damaging to South Knoxville. The City of Knoxville and Knox County have cooperated well in recent years to promote the South Knoxville waterfront, the Civil War forts and parks, and to make Knoxville a "greener" place to live. The city this year gave generously to promote and preserve the parks and greenways. It would be terrible to lose the momentum that has been set in motion for a long-neglected part of the county.
Reducing the contributions to Ijams and Legacy Parks forces these non-profit organizations to reduce programs, perhaps reduce staff, and certainly slow down the remarkable progress that they have achieved in making Knoxville a recreation destination. These organizations are the glue that hold together efforts by many individuals and organizations to accomplish what has not been possible in the past. These organizations leverage a lot of money and effort because so many people want to make South Knoxville a better place and have visions of green trails, tourist destinations, family recreation, education on sustainability, and encouragement of healthy lifestyles.
It is too late to force these organizations to spend their time on additional fund-raising or be forced to cut staff when they are already efficient generators of economic development and pride for all of Knoxville and its visitors.
As residents of the city and county, we respectfully ask that Knox County commissioners carefully consider our request for continued support of the unique natural areas and enthusiastic efforts of the citizens of Knoxville and note our dismay at the possibility that we may lose the momentum that has just started in South Knoxville—including the proposed greenway loop, the rehabilitation of Mead's Quarry and Ross Marble property, the new recycling efforts by the city, and our organization which represents a new energy among the residents of South Knoxville.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to visit us in South Knoxville.
The South Knoxville Neighborhood and Business Coalition

I was reading this post over at Fangs, Wands, and Fairies: Do You Have Any Superstitions? Paranormal 101 and I got to thinking as I commented about all the things I do and don't do revolving superstitions.
I never realized how many there were that I do and how many I intentionally break. Seriously. On purpose.
I would totally cross his path (©trdesignr)
Things I know I do –
Cross the path of black cats cuz I love black cats.
Consider 13 to be my favorite number, I don't think it's unlucky at all.
I look forward to Friday the 13th.
I think rabbit's feet (or any other dead animal part you might carry) are disgusting.
I don't own any lucky talisman, socks, or sweat bands (like sports players do).
I would NEVER walk under this ladder. ©Joel Kramer
Superstitions I hold true to without even thinking about it:
I would NEVER ever walk under a ladder. (I'm a carpenter's daughter, it's been drilled into me that isn't safe.)
I throw salt over my shoulder when I'm cooking (no logical reason).
I am not a fan of breaking mirrors (why risk it?).
I always pick up pennies while saying "find a penny pick it up…"
I believe that bad things (bad luck) comes in 3s, especially when it comes to death.
I knock on wood.
I cross my fingers.
I freak out on my kids when they open an umbrella in the house.
I can tell the lunar calendar by my children's behavior (full moon – naughty kids).
Kisses at 12 AM New Year's Day have been done since I was old enough to kiss a boy.
I will always pick any 4 leaf clover I find and save it.
I blow out my birthday candles.
I refer to my cats' 9 lives, especially Elaina.
Speaking of kisses, I've been kissed under the mistletoe.
I've said someone is walking over my grave when I get the shivers out of nowhere.
When my ear itches I always someone is talking about me – I never remember which ear is good or bad.
I try to avoid walking on cracks when it pops in my head. My mom's back is bad enough as it is.
I say "God Bless You" when someone sneezes.
I've made a wish on a penny thrown in a wishing well.
Black crows freak me out. They mean death is coming.
I've made plenty of wishes on stars.
Those are just the ones I can think of that I do without giving it a second thought or thinking about it being superstitious.
What about you? You have to do at least a few on that list. I know there are certain foods some eat on New Year's Eve to bring good luck. I've never followed that one. There has to be something in your family that you do without even realizing it's superstitious.
Head on over and check out the post that inspired this one.
Have a wonderful day!

Meg O'Mara
Jan. 8, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia equestrian head coach Meghan Boenig announces that Meg O'Mara will join the squad beginning this spring. O'Mara is the younger sister of Georgia rider Abby O'Mara and is the daughter of Tom and Liz O'Mara.
"We are very excited to welcome Meg to our team this spring," Boenig said. "From academics to riding talent, she is extraordinary! I expect her to hit the ground running this spring and bring a great, positive impact to her team."
O'Mara brings over 15 years of experience the Georgia program. In 2010, she was the NAJYRC Individual Junior Silver Medalist and finished first at the Capital Challenge Jr/Ao Challenge. In 2011, she finished first at both the Jacksonville Grand Prix and the Venice Charity Show Grand Prix. She was also a member of the 2011 European Young Rider Tour and the USEF Junior Jumper Champion Individual and Team Gold teams.
In 2012, O'Mara earned reserve championship honors at the USEF Finals East before taking home the championship at the Southeast Maclay Regionals. O'Mara took home championships at the 2012 PHA Finals and the USEF Medal Finals and finished fifth at the Maclay Finals and Washington International Horse Show Equitation Classic. She rounded out 2012 by being named the USEF Junior Hunter Finals Champion and the Devon Horse Show Junior Hunter Champion. She also placed first at the Devon Horse Show in the USET Talent Search and Maclay and was a gold medalist for the NAJYRC Young Riders Team. In 2013, she finished 14th in the Pfizer $1 Million Dollar Grand Prix.
In addition to her awards, O'Mara was a participant in the prestigious George H. Morris Horse Mastership Training Session in both 2011 and 2012, as well as the George Morris Gladstone Program in 2013.

Carlisle: Mega TV deal would let Dodgers develop own channel
Just when we got through one enormous pro sports local television deal, here comes another.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are very close to signing a contract with Time Warner Cable that would create a new regional sports network for the team, much like the cable company did for the Lakers this season.
Reported terms of the contract are $6 billion-$8 billion for 20-25 years beginning in 2014. The deal was first revealed Tuesday by Bloomberg News. It would be by far the largest local TV sports contract in history. Time Warner Cable is in the beginning of a $3 billion, 20-year deal with the Lakers.
There would, however, be distinct differences between the Dodgers' agreement with TWC and the Lakers'. Bloomberg reported Guggenheim Baseball Management, the group that owns the Dodgers, would develop the channel. Time Warner, as a partner, would run it and sell advertising for it, but the Dodgers would maintain their broadcasting rights.
Fox has carried the Dodgers since 1997 when it launched a second sports network, now called Prime Ticket, to go along with Fox Sports West. KCAL (Channel 9) will also be in its final year of broadcasting Dodgers games this season.
Fox was reported to be interested in holding onto the Dodgers — especially after FS West lost the Lakers this season — and had offered a $6 billion, 25-year deal in November, which included giving the Dodgers partial ownership of the network. But Fox's exclusive negotiating window ran out at the end of that month, allowing Time Warner to get involved.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday the Dodgers, who were said to be impressed with certain elements of Fox's proposal, have invited it to take a lesser TV role with the team. That could include showing some games on Fox-owned KTTV (Channel 11) or KCOP (Channel 13), thus keeping a few games on free local TV. A new national network, Fox Sports One, could also play a part, the newspaper said.
Reports earlier in the week by SportsBusiness Daily said the Dodgers-TWC deal was being held up because sources said Fox had "certain back-end rights" that could give it the right to match or challenge a deal, and that the Dodgers and TWC were trying to craft the deal in a way that would avoid that situation.
When it is finalized, the new Dodgers network would be much like the YES Network the New York Yankees launched in 2002 with the then-New Jersey Nets in order to have better control over their broadcast rights and eliminate the middle man.
That in essence is also what Time Warner Cable has done with the Lakers and Dodgers. TWC is the primary cable provider in Southern California and, along with other distributors, has balked at ever-increasing rights fees for sports networks. By starting its own channels, Time Warner locks up rights to L.A.'s two most popular teams. There may be a steep price to pay at the start, but it gives the company cost certainty for at least the next two decades.
Fearing it might lose the Dodgers, News Corp., Fox's parent company, bought a 49 percent stake in YES worth $3 billion in November with an option to buy up to 80 percent in three years.
Money from the Dodgers' deal with Time Warner — some of which will go to Major League Baseball's team revenue sharing — is the windfall their new owners were expecting when they bought the team for $2.15 billion last year. The Dodgers are expected to have baseball's highest payroll in 2013 at $220 million; their new TV deal could bring in at least $280 million annually. The Dodgers earned a reported $40 million in local TV revenue in 2012.
The Angels signed a 20-year deal with Fox Sports West in December 2011 for $3 billion, or $150 million per year. The Yankees got $90 million from local TV in 2011, but it also owned 34 percent of YES, which generated $224 million in operating income that season, according to the Orange County Register.
"From a Dodgers standpoint, this puts them at the same rank as the Yankees, Red Sox and Giants," media consultant Lee H. Berke told Bloomberg. "Valuation is the name of the game. That's what Guggenheim is going to achieve by developing a Dodgers network with Time Warner."
Time Warner will have to try to get other TV distributors to carry the new Dodgers channel, much as it did for the Lakers channels, Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes. From a programming perspective, it would seem ideal for the Dodgers and Lakers to share the channels since there is little overlap in their seasons, but having their own channels gives the team more value.
It took Time Warner right up to the start of the season and beyond before most providers signed up for SportsNet and Deportes. Dish Network still doesn't carry them.
What these new channels mean for cable and satellite customers' bills is uncertain. TWC charges $3.95 per subscriber per month for distributors to carry SportsNet and Deportes. Prime Ticket reportedly receives $2.50. YES charges $3.20.
Another question is what will happen to Prime Ticket without the Dodgers. Does FS West and Prime have enough programming to sustain two channels? Losing the Dodgers leaves the networks with the Angels, Clippers, Kings and Anaheim Ducks as their major tenants.
Prime Ticket may survive — once a channel is in existence, it may change its identity, but never closes down entirely — but it may have to renegotiate its deals with providers to adjust to the lower ratings without the Dodgers.

Falcons Down Louisiana 6-1
Jan. 26, 2013
The Air Force women's tennis team won its 2013 spring opener Saturday, defeating Louisiana 6-1 at the Academy. The Falcons rallied after losing the doubles point to win all six singles contests and improve to 3-0 this season. Meanwhile, Louisiana dropped to 0-2.
The Ragin' Cajuns took a 1-0 lead by winning the Nos. 1 and 3 doubles matches. Their No. 3 team of Juliette Clement and Melissa Burkhartt were the first off the court after defeating junior Anastasia Hueffner and sophomore Marcelli Magday, 8-3. UL clinched the point as the No. 1 duo of Nicole Breaux and Bailey VanDyke defeated seniors Melissa Cecil and Hannah Dake, 8-7(4). The Falcons won the No. 2 match as senior Christine Molina and sophomore Natasha Rizvi won 8-7(4).
Molina led the resurgence by Air Force with a convincing 6-0, 6-2 victory over Sophie van den Aarsen at the No. 1 singles spot. Rizvi and Dake followed suit with straight sets wins at No. 3 and No. 2, respectively. Freshman Mary Meyers clinched the match with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Bailey VanDyke at No. 4.
Cecil won the No. 5 match, 6-2, 7-5 over Burckhartt and Hueffner closed out the match with a three-set victory over Hannah Appleyard, 6-2, 5-7, 1-0(7).
The Falcons host the University of Colorado on Sunday, Jan. 27 beginning at 3 p.m.

new information on 'the devil you know'
Todd McFarlane Documentary Broadcast in Canada Jan. 23; Videos Available and Contest, Too
Thursday, January 18, 2001
Todd McFarlane Documentary Broadcast in Canada Jan. 23;Videos Available and Contest, Too
January 19, 2001
DIRECTOR KENTON VAUGHAN ANDTODD McFARLANE
The Canadian National Film Board's The Devil You Know: Inside the Mind of Todd McFarlane documentary on the Spawn will premiere on CBC-TV's Life and Times on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m.
In other news surrounding the long-awaited documentary on McFarlane's life, a video is now available for purchase, which has an additional 35 minutes of footage not shown on the TV broadcast. Everyone who purchases a video will be entered into a drawing to win action figures and other products signed by Todd McFarlane. For more information, visit www.nfb.ca/devilyouknow.
Also a Flash postcard detailing the documentary with short downloadable video clips is available at www.nfb.ca/devilpostcard.
In his new documentary, filmmaker Kenton Vaughan tells the remarkable tale of a skinny baseball-crazed kid from Calgary, the doodling dreamer in the back row, who went on to become a giant in popular entertainment.
Todd McFarlane is driven, controversial and relentless in the pursuit of his goals. Yet he lives a stable domestic life married to his childhood sweetheart, a level-headed beauty who helps him manage a multi-million-dollar empire.
McFarlane's creative powers have come together with a hard-headed business acumen to transform his fictional creation Spawn -- a tortured soul caught between good and evil -- into an industry that encompasses comic books, toys, animation, video games and movies.
McFarlane's impact is particularly apparent in the loyalty and devotion of his fans -- where admiration can lead to obsession. The Devil You Know raises intriguing questions about fandom, as it follows two Spawn enthusiasts, and explores the zone where art becomes business and fans become customers.
Vaughan directed the 1998 NFB release Turning Away and has directed and produced for the CBC-TV's Market Place and Venture. The Devil You Know, which is also available in a feature-length version, was produced by Silva Basmajian for the NFB.

Pacific Arc Lead Holder with Clip is a lead holder for drawing, sketching and writing.
It holds 2mm leads and features pushbutton advance and a textured grip zone.
1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Recommend: Yes
I've had trouble in the past with lead holders not being compatible with lead pointers from different brands, but I've never seen a lead holder that doesn't fit IN THE CORRESPONDING LEAD POINTER FROM THE SAME COMPANY. My 2mm lead holders from other brands will fit in the Pacific Arc pointer, but the Pacific Arc lead holder doesn't. Maybe I got the one in a million lead holder that doesn't fit the pointer (they're the same company and both 2mm products,) but c'mon! I'd never heard of Pacific Arc before and I will definitely avoid them in the future.

Aside from mass storage or a back up, does this mean the end of hard drives in the near future?
Login or Register to never see this panel
No. Even assuming everything pans out and it can match DDR3 pricing, that's still several times the price per GB of NAND flash used in solid state drives. For long-term storage, the performance difference between NAND and ST-MRAM doesn't matter, but the price difference sure does.
Originally posted by Quizzical
I stated to disregard that part. My interest in the topic was more along the lines of it possibly replacing hard drives as the primary storage for the system.

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
If its not broke dont try to fix it.
Originally posted by thinktank001
For primary storage, it doesn't have any real advantage over solid state drives, but has a huge disadvantage in cost. The only way it has any chance of replacing hard drives is if it not only works as well as hoped, but keeps scaling with something analogous to Moore's Law for several years longer than NAND flash.
What's more plausible is that it will replace system memory. Imagine being able to turn off your computer entirely, not merely hibernate but completely off and not draining the battery at all, and then resuming exactly where you were within a fraction of a second.

Take note that this is very low niche and thus low quantity thing. Additionally they have to use 90 nm to produce ST-MRAM, newer lower node fabs are not avabile for that kind of low-amount production volume and you know how huge diffrence in cost that make.
NAND is good and I support buying it, but it is dead end technology cause oflimited amount of cycles with lower nodes. With 10 nm and TLC it will be incredibly low. Software / firmware get better but not that much. Something will have to replace NAND propably. Not now. Not in 5 years. But in 10 years? 15? Yes.
Originally posted by fenistil
According to the article, if everything goes well, they're hoping to match DDR3 pricing--not today, but after they catch up to DDR3 in cutting-edge process nodes. That's several times the price per GB of NAND flash. While NAND flash will stop scaling eventually, so will SDRAM, ST-MRAM, and everything else. ST-MRAM would need to last about three full node die shrinks longer than NAND flash before it has a chance to become viable as a hard drive replacement.
Originally posted by Quizzical
Yeah it might not be ST-MRAM unless something will drastically change in this technology cost-related.
I am not saying that NAND cannot scale. It does and it still can, but cost in amount of writes you can do to single cell is insane and it will start taking it's tool soon and limit this technology alot.
Most other storage technologies don't have this problem. ST-MRAM like "normal" DDR RAM theoretically can be written infinite number of times.
There are also other companies working on other variants of MRAM tech. I think there is some French company. Anyway interesting to keep an eye of.
Originally posted by Quizzical
My bad I think this is where I was confusing people. My point was that it is a non-volatile solution for system memory that with a large enough size could completely replace the need for a primary hard drive.
Originally posted by fenistil
I'm more optimistic about NAND flash scaling than you are. Given a choice between 128 GB at 3000 P/E cycles, 256 GB at 1500 P/E cycles, and 512 GB at 750 P/E cycles, which would you pick? The reduced P/E cycle numbers on the larger SSDs look bad, but they get you exactly the same total write capacity. That's basically what die shrinks are going to give us going forward: you don't get that much more total write capacity, but you do get a lot more total storage capacity for the same price.
Furthermore, more total storage capacity will enable more total write capacity, especially if people tend not to get their SSD anywhere near full. More free capacity to play with means you can do more things with wear leveling to reduce write amplification. A given number of P/E cycles at a write amplification of 2x gives you double the total write capacity of the same number of P/E cycles at a write amplification of 4x.
Maybe something else will replace NAND flash. If some new tech that is really awesome comes, it could replace NAND flash even if NAND keeps on scaling flawlessly. But apart from that, NAND would have to stall for several years before anything else has a good chance at replacing it.
Originally posted by Quizzical
Problem is with SSD failure rate, total amount of write cycles does not decrease failure rates unless user is very conservative about using it's SSD space, Lower write amount per cell does decrease it though. Of course manufacturers are aware of that and that's why they invest into better frimware that try to distibute data over cells better and make cell usage more evenly and by investing into file systems specifically for SSD's like Samsung. That can make things better but it won't change physics.
It is not that high, but already I know multiple people that had their SSD's die on them and that were 25 or bigger nm MLC drives of various companies. ( OCZ, Intel, Crucial, Kingstone and something else don't remember). Because of NAND tech it frequently happen without any warning. Of course if it happens of warranty then you get it replaced but that's not the point.
Of course HDD's also do fail and they are prone to damage / bad sectors if they are moved during work which SSD's are immune to, but thing is that as schrink is going down failure rate of SSD"s will increase and we'll see that imho with low process nodes TLC's soon.
Besides SSD's are and even as they increase in capacity they will still remain relatively expensive, compared to HDD's.
Of course HDD's are performance dead end technology and SSD's are insane increase in everyday use comfort due to responsiveness, but if you pay more you expect more and not only in preformance but in reliability.
If 50$ HDD get bad sectors and you have to make backup copy and replace it it is not felt as bad if 150$ SSD die without warning on you.
I agree though that this matter is a bit subjective and how well NAND technology will scale down is remain to be seen.
Interesting link:
Replacement for NAND technology. Well it won't happen anytime soon,I agree that for it to happen NAND tech will have to stall and there would have to be other technology showing enough promise to invest serious bucks in it.
Not things that can happen fast. Long years.
Anyway NAND tech used as mass storage SSD's is great thing. Nice tech, but imho without long future.
Another thing to remember is that there's no reason that SLC can't make a comeback. If they have to, they could use a die shrink to switch back to SLC. That would mean that the same die space gets you twice as many cells as before, but with SLC, each only has half as much capacity, so on net, the die has the same capacity as before--but much higher write endurance. Obviously, they won't do that unless they have to. But if it lets them squeeze a few more die shrinks out of NAND flash and no replacement for it is ready, they can.

Color me a bit skeptical.
From my understanding, the only inherent "more reliability" in SSD's comes mainly in portables - where mechanical shock is as big a killer of mechanical hard drives as anything, and SSD's are near indestructible by G-Force.
The actual technology I would say about ~as reliable~ as a traditional hard drive. The Tom's Hardware article that you link doesn't confirm or deny that - it just says that we don't have as much data, because SSDs haven't been around as long.
As far as "many people" with failed drives - oh well. Anecdotal evidence. Without failure rates from an official study, or RMA rates from manufacturers, you don't have much other than a personal observation on a small data set. I could just as well make the claim that SSDs are infintely reliable because of the dozens I've either installed in systems, or know of that are installed in systems, I've seen 0 fail, including those that are approaching 4 years old now. But that would be an absurd claim to make.
As far as I'm concerned, SSD's are more expensive, but that cost buys you orders of magnitude better performance - not anything to do with reliability. There are other ways to insure reliability (the easiest example to start with being - get enterprise level drives rather than consumer drives, and proceeding on through using other technologies and strategies aside from just drives to ensure data reliability, such as redundancy and backups).

I'd think it would be better if you could make it a free-standing downloadable app. The technology it uses isn't important.
I also think that you'd quickly run into support issues when people discover that what they entered on a "web page" on one machine isn't available on another.

b) Securely fasten my tin foil hat, then deride the slashdot editors for given in to "the man" and collecting marketing data from the "sheeple"
c) Have my voice heard as a disenfranchised victim/minority who slashdot has completely ignored by not including as a poll option

In fact, MS blog post specifically states: "Now, it's very easy to adapt a WebKit-optimized site to also support IE10." See that keyword I emphasized, it means they aren't telling people to abandon webkit. The examples they provide back that up as they leave webkit support in place and add either the non-prefixed standards compliant property or when that's not available, add the IE specific property alongside the webkit one.
As a side note, I take a site like this much less seriously when it stoops to the same level of bipartisan drivel and mud slinging that we all had to endure for the last six months with the US elections.

If your class is about engineering your way into someone else's computer, then yes.
No, not even then. Do you think a professor that teaches a security class has any control over the LMS that the school selects or the security built around it? Even so, being able to manipulate a computer system that way is merely one aspect of computers and does not constitute mastery of the subject.
Using your same logic, if the student who breaks into the computer system and changes his grade also fails another student, that's OK too, because hey, that's what the class is about and if the now-failing student can't protect themselves, so be it.

Green building minimizes the impact or "environmental footprint" of a building. Wood is a major building material that is renewable and uses the sun's energy to renew itself in a continuous sustainable cycle.[20] Studies show manufacturing wood uses less energy and results in less air and water pollution than steel and concrete.

And beyond that, anything that doesn't promote additional works should be unconstitutional. Taking dead authors' works out of the public domain doesn't encourage creation.
Let me be clear, I'm certainly not in favor of this ruling, but allow me to play Devil's advocate for a moment with out being moded down: The counter argument to what you are saying is that taking a work out of the public domain allows the owner of the work to profit from it. The profits can then be used to fund new creative works.
I don't believe that's what really happens now or what will happen with the now non-public works, but I can see that as the counter argument to what you say.

Given the current costs of an EV, plus the length of time it already takes to charge, it seems there are other areas of research that would be better focused on. This technology only makes an EV more expensive to own and would probably take longer to charge with. People seem to do just fine connecting a short, thick, clunky hose to their cars now.

#1 prevents a national tax because people don't want to have a new tax, they want a replacement tax. It will be very hard to eliminate income tax in my opinion.
#2 is a real concern because under the current system, no one knows how much of the cost of an item goes towards taxes. If you asked me what percentage of my income went towards taxes, I couldn't tell you. Between matching taxes my employer pays, deductions that I take, taxes that are built in to the price of all the goods I by, etc, there's no way to know. A lot of people will be pissed when they see a 23% VAT (30% sales tax) on everything they buy because for the first time, people will really know that a quarter of all their money goes to taxes.

Guardian: Hollywood film output likely to fall by a third
The number of films being produced by Hollywood is set to fall by more than a third as the major studios struggle against a twin threat, industry analysts say. Their problems stem from a dearth of funding and from the digital revolution in the way people consume moving images. Mark Gill, head of the Film Department, an independent film finance firm, predicted that last year's peak of 606 films to emerge from Hollywood would fall to fewer than 400 next year "and it may go lower than that in future." Ed Pilkington reports.

Gao Lin tapped home a rebound just before the break as China defeated Iran in a friendly prior to the Middle-Eastern side's crucial 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifier against Korea DPR on Saturday.
Gao converted two minutes before half-time after Rong Hao's 30-yard left-footed free-kick was saved by Iran goalkeeper Seyed Rahmati. The win at Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Centre Stadium also provided a boost for China's newly-appointed coach Gao Hongbo, who recorded his first victory after taking over the national squad early last month.
Iran coach Afshin Ghotbi fielded a strong side including the likes of Mehdi Mahdavikia and Vahid Hashemian as he went in search of a morale-boosting win before the qualifier in Pyongyang. In stark contrast, China coach Gao made a number of changes, choosing nine players who did not feature in the friendly against Germany three days ago.
Still it was they who created most of the chances, and could have added another when 17 minutes from time He Yang headed Charlton Athletic midfielder Zheng Zhi's free-kick onto the crossbar. Arash Borhani hit the bar late on but it was too little too late for a side who face an uphill task to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals as they are now four points adrift of second-placed Saudi Arabia in the last round of Asian qualifiers.
China coach Gao Hongbo said: "The result can't prove that China are a strong side, but we did gain experience from the game and we learned how to deal with west Asian teams." Iran will search for a win in Korea DPR, who are four points ahead of them in the group, to keep their qualification hopes alive.

iTunes 10.5 Beta 6.1, includes iTunes Match
Apple has seeded iTunes Beta 6.1 to developers in the US, it includes a new feature you should be on the look out for, iTunes Match. iTunes match allows users to upload music to Apple's beta service of iCloud. This will allow users to store their entire collection online in the iCloud for $25 per year. It also has something quite nifty, say you own an album and it's on your computer - but this album is also on the iTunes servers, it will shift it from the servers to your iCloud account. This saves valuable time and most importantly, bandwidth.
This also allows you to get access to the 256kbps AAC version from within the iCloud, even if your copy was in lower quality. Does this mean people can rip Apple off? How would you do that? Well, if you had an illegally obtained album of music, you could sync it with iTunes and iCloud and have it in your account. How would Apple tell between your illegal music and purchased music? Considering they're making $25 per year from potentially hundreds of millions of customers, are Apple supporting piracy?
If you want to get your mits on iTunes 10.5 beta 6.1, you'll need to be an Apple developer which is a $99 per annum fee.

Our Download of the Day today is uTorrent 3.0 Build 25583.
µTorrent is a small and incredibly popular BitTorrent client.

Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 184.108.40.206 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.
µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 220 KB in size.
Skinnable and Localized
Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

The whole entire world is literally made of dirt, but here's these three dummies squabbling over the one spot to have a dust bath.
Every year around this time, people start asking if I plan to get more chicks. Since my current chickens are going to be five years old in a few months, and barely lay eggs for about four months out of the year.
Three problems: first, I would need to build a bigger coop. I know this sounds terrible, I'm waiting for one of the older chickens to die. The coop will fit four chickens snugly, but you can't raise just a single chick on its own. So if one hen dies, I can get two chicks, and we're good.
But then you have problem #2, which is that I work from home, and it's a small home, and raising chicks means subjecting myself to 24/7 peeping for about four weeks.
When I had the chicks before, at one point I left to go to the grocery store, and on the drive there I realized that I could still hear them inside my head. It was horrifying.
And finally, I would need to build a Cinnamon-proof brood box for the chicks. She is very interested in killing things, where the old boys were content to just sprawl nearby and stare.
So no… probably not going to happen this year.
Up side of playing video games as a hobby: minimal shopping. I don't have to drive to the Skyrim store this weekend to buy more Skyrim so that I can finish playing Skyrim.

Microphone in hand, Tommy Baker described for dozens of clients and friends the origins of the Charleston car company that bears his name.
It was 1988, and he had bought Langston Motors import car dealership. Tucked along Morrison Drive, the outlet would grow steadily. Over time it would morph into Baker Motor Co., which today spans 11 new car dealerships along the Savannah Highway. But he started with one brand: Mercedes-Benz. "They took us to the dance," he said.
Then, Baker reflected on the moment's significance.
"If you thought we would end up in a place like this on a night like this, it's unbelievable," he said, looking out on the crowd attending the Oct. 24 celebration for Baker Motor Co.'s quarter-century in business.
The gala event, centered in the Baker Mercedes-Benz showroom and spread out to adjacent dealerships, won an appearance from Mercedes-Benz USA president and CEO Steve Cannon. At one point, he joined Baker, wife Vickie and their two daughters center-stage.
"There's 20,000 (car dealerships) in the U.S.," Cannon said, in remarks to the guests. "Mr. Baker is among the top 100. That's an incredible accomplishment," he said, referring to Baker Motor landing on Automotive News' list of the 100 "Best Dealerships to Work For" this year.
Cannon also highlighted Baker Mercedes' success in the carmaker's Best of the Best dealership award, taking home top honors seven of the past 10 years. "That's amazing," he said.
Cannon, promoted to the top U.S. post for Mercedes close to two years ago, also remarked on the German manufacturer's growing sales figures in America. "We are going to sell more than 300,000 cars for the first time this year," he said.
Mercedes-Benz launched the redesigned S class in 2013 and this fall rolled out the entry level CLA for $29,900. "It's a new entry point," Cannon said.
Earlier in the evening, Cannon fielded a few questions while with Baker in his office.
"Our business is going great. It's an exciting time," he said, noting how Mercedes-Benz set sales record for each month through September. The new CLA, he said, brings "our brand to new people."
He also touched on the newly remodeled Sprinter van, assembled at the Daimler factory in North Charleston.
"The U.S. will be one of the leading Sprinter growth areas," the CEO said.
Cannon – a former marketing director with Mercedes – and Baker first met in 2007 when the Charleston entrepreneur served as chairman of the Mercedes dealership leadership board in the U.S. "A friendship developed," Baker said.
"He's a guy I call (as a sounding board)," Cannon said, adding that Baker is one of the few dealers he includes "on speed dial."
Baker Motor Co. sells Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, smart, Infiniti, Sprinter and Maserati from its Savannah Highway locale, while Baker separately runs a Cadillac Buick GMC dealership on Savannah Highway and a pre-owned car center in Mount Pleasant.

Boil water advisory issued for Ona customers
ONA -- West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for approximately 150 customers on Cyrus Creek Road from Left Fork of Cyrus Creek to U.S. 60, Burke Hollow Road, Berry Lane and Sierra Drive. The advisory follows a water main break, which West Virginia American Water crews are working to repair as quickly as possible.
Affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. Customers are asked to bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of one minute, then cool before use.
Once the system recovers, West Virginia American Water will be collecting additional water quality samples in the area of the outage. For more information, contact West Virginia American Water's customer service center at 1-800-685-8660.
