You might remember that we told you earlier last week that AT&T would be restricting the data speeds of the 3G iPhone so as not to drain it's battery life and to make sure that their 3G network doesn't get bogged down with all of the internet usage. Well, AT&T recently stated that they're not actually limiting it's speed, but that this is how fast their network is in most areas on average

Readers of AT&T's Apple iPhone 3G website, have this weekend been left confounded by information that iPhone 3G data download speeds will apparently be limited to 1.4Mbps, while other devices tout much faster speeds. With the figure also echoed in the official AT&T press release, speculation is that the 1.4Mbps limit is not a website error. With t...

As reports detailing the potential toxicity of bisphenol A (BPA) continue to make headlines, companies that use the chemical to manufacture polycarbonate bottles are finding themselves in an increasingly difficult position. While the Food and Drug Administration states that “at this time, FDA is not recommending that anyone discontinue using products that contain BPA while we [...]

Employers often struggle with leaves of absence. The FMLA only requires 12 weeks of unpaid leave for a serious health condition. If, however, an employee has a disability covered by the ADA, an unpaid leave of absence longer than 12 weeks might be required as a reasonable accommodation. Before one can consider whether such an accommodation is reasonable or necessary, one must first address the thr

Wal-Mart's Sam Club stores will be limiting the volume of rice sold to customers to 4 bags per person. Wal-Mart states that "supply and demand trends" are the reason for the restriction, and that the company plans to continue with the restrictions as long as they are allowed by law. Currently, only New Mexico and Idaho are the only two states that prohibit such actions.

Builders continued to reduce the pace of new-home construction in March amidst ongoing erosion in the overall economy and credit markets, according to the latest figures released today by the U.S. Commerce Department. Total housing starts fell nearly 12 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 947,000 units for the month, while single-family starts [...]

An interesting way to make visitors click more on your ads is to limit their choices. While it may not sound very well if you hear about this idea for the first time, it isn’t actually that bad after all. The principle behind this it is that you should try to create the most logical exit points aside from the back button. A visitor has to exit the website at some point, so you should try to make him click on ads to exit the site. Some people recommend removing links to other sites from your webpage and this also includes widgets or any other banners that are not ads. You can also go to the extreme and remove your categories, RSS feed link, recent posts and date archive to even further reduce the users choices. This strategy has a lot of potential, but your blog might suffer from it, as y

Self-Limiting Beliefs: Whenever we have unfortunately or even accidentally programmed inhibitive ideas or beliefs about ourselves into our conscious and subconscious mind, whether these thoughts are of our own origination, or injected into our psyche by someone else, they are known as “Self-Limiting Thoughts,”. They are absolute trouble and need to be dealt with immediately! “Self-Limiting Beliefs” [...]

What dictates how successful a person can become in any given field? Is it chance, fortune, good luck? No. Take an athlete for example, regardless of their chosen discipline, they must WORK at becoming the best. Even if they got lucky with their genes, have a good build or quick reactions, it is absolutely vital they [...]

The rules for foreign investors in Russia have often been murky. But a landmark new law due to be approved by Russia's parliament on Mar. 22 should at least make matters a little clearer. The Kremlin-backed statute will regulate investment in so-called strategic sectors of the Russian economy, meaning that foreigners will henceforth have to seek government approval if they plan to make significant investments.The law represents the culmination of a trend in recent years toward greater economic restrictions in Russia. The government has noticeably cooled toward foreign investment in sectors deemed to be of strategic importance—notably the crucial energy and minerals segments.

by Antonio ThorntonOur beliefs are the foundation of who we are, what we think, what we say, how we act, and ultimately, how the world shows up for us. However, when we have limiting beliefs, we actually limit our life.RelationshipsLimiting beliefs will greatly affect your relationships. It can cause problems if you have any beliefs about what can or cannot, should or should not happen in a relationship. For example: You believe that the person you're dating should not see an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend because it's "bad" for the relationship. What you don't see is that the person you're with really cares about you. The relationship they maintain with an ex can be for multiple reasons. Are there children involved? Does your significant other pay alimony to their ex? Was the break up mutual?

Your body adapts at the fastest rate that you will ever see in the first six months of a training program. After that the rate of change begins to slow down as your body becomes accustomed to your new lifestyle. You can continue to improve for a long time, in the case of certain adaptations like aerobic capacity, for many years, but at some point you must become smarter about your training.Once you have a foundation of consistency and adequate intensity, over time, progression will become more difficult. You must work on your limiting factor. You can get complicated in trying to determine what is holding you back, or you can do it the simple way: Figure out what you hate doing the most. Nine times out of ten, the thing that you hate doing the most is holding you back from further improvement.You Squa

In our lifetime, we do feel the need to mould ourselves into good people. We wish to be able to do all the good deeds to others, and if possible, we do not want to portray a self-centered image in the eyes of others. Without a doubt, it would be very noble of someone to be able to lend a helping hand to those who are in need of one. It certainly would! But what if those people whom you have offered to help are those who are apparently undeserving of your help? What if their pleas for sympathy from you are merely their gateways to taking advantage of you? This is where you will realize how essential it is for you to limit yourself in life. It may be puzzling for some of you to learn that you have to limit yourself even when doing good deeds. But when you do so, you will find that you are constantly safe from unnecessary dangers and perils that you have to put yourself into just because you have done something good for someone. While some people get indebted towards your sincerity in hel

Due to some personal circumstances, unexpected, that have come up in the last month we are going to have to severely limit the collies we are able to foster in our own home. Fortunately for us here in Utah, there are not very many locally that end up in rescue. Hopefully we can rely on our friend rescues to help get any collies that we do find in shelters, into foster homes. The more foster homes we have, the more we can do. We have a couple of potential foster homes coming online soon and that should help out. And we are seriously looking for a foster for Tony, as having him in another home where he can get the attention he needs, would also help us out a great deal. So if you are interested in fostering a collie, or a sheltie for our friends at sheltie rescue, please let us know! collierescue@utahdogs.com

Once the antimatter (which has mass) falls into the black hole, it no longer matters that it is antimatter insofar as the hole is concerned. The exact nature of what happens to matter once inside the event horizon is an open question (and one that is, by definition, unobservable and thus guidance to theoretical modles by experimental results can not occur). However, let's just for the sake of argument say that somehow the original matter "survived" in some form reasonably akin to regular, outside-the-event-horizon matter. Then, perhaps, inside the event horizon, the matter and antimatter do react and turn into pure energy (gamma rays). The total mass/energy is still conserved, so that from outside the hole's event horizon, we see nothing different because the hole's total mass/energy does not change. Nor can we ever tell if the reaction took place, because the gamma rays can not escape the event horizon any more than the original matter and antimatter could.

The cheerleader getting run over video made me laugh before I went to bed yesterday. Other than that, I’m totally stocked up on candy for the neighborhood kids tonight.

I applied for Google Adsense for this mess of a site. I doubt I’ll get approved for it, but it seems like everyone’s doing it.. And they’re all getting super crazy rich, like Wayne Newton or some shit. It’s about time I Newtonized my wallet through googles wonderful money tree… So this is my open letter to Google… Please forgive me for my language.

After months of allegations that Comcast has been throttling BitTorrent uploads, a report from the Associated Press on Friday appears to verify the claim. Accusations have been floating around the Internet for some time that Comcast, the nation's largest cable TV operator and the second-largest Internet service provider, engages in throttling peer-to-peer activity. On Friday, however, the Associated Press said it had confirmed "through nationwide tests" that Comcast blocks some BitTorrent activity. Comcast representatives avoided responding to the claim directly. At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on Friday, Comcast Interactive Media President Amy Banse responded to questions about P2P throttling by pointing to the company's need to "manage" heavy Internet use. "99.9 percent of our customers happily say they use e-mail and are uploading and downloading video and photos every day at speeds they enjoy," she said. "There are .01 percent that are engaging in what we call 'excessive

Obviously, the best type of upgrade doesn’t involve the words “disaster” or “recovery.” Common sense, combined with a little study time and a bit of applied effort, can usually help you avoid the worst catastrophes and the usual pitfalls.Here are some of the best techniques for ensuring a successful upgrade. Following these instructions can limit your damage or downtime should you encounter an unwanted hitch. Protect your data by backing it up first.Don’t upgrade in a distracting environment; wait until things are reasonably calm.Perform one upgrade at a time and verify that the last one is working well before you perform the next.Read the documentation that accompanies the upgrade—especially the special notes and warnings. Check the manufacturer’s or publisher’s web site for additional details or to ask questions before you perform the upgrade.Follow the instructions you just read. I know this step seems obvious, but informal studies suggest that even among those PC

As many of you already know there is a very juicy loophole in the federal tax code that allows for a gargantuan exclusion ($250,000 for a single homeowner, $500,000 for a couple) of the gain from the sale of a principle residence from traditional taxation, so long as the taxpaying homeowner had used the property as a primary residence for an “aggregate” of 2 years of the 5 years prior to the sale.The “aggregate” language in the tax code is important as it allows for the flexibility of using the property for other purposes (such as a vacation home or a rental property) during the 5 years prior to the sale but still meet the residency requirement as long as the time the property had been used as a primary residence totals 2 years.To say that this WAS an important tax loophole for lower to middle income as well as affluent homeowners is an understatement as the notion of such a large tax free capital gain likely greatly contributed to the excitement seen in residential real estate

Hey Folks, We have shared how to take action and keep procrastination at bay in Step 6 of “9 Secret Steps To Life Transformation“. Now we’ll proceed to Step 8 and it’s about “Feeling The Abundance“. Did you ever have the feeling that there is not enough of these and not enough of that? In the past, I always do. 1) When I was studying, I was worried that I wouldn’t be good enough to make it to the local university. 2) When I was working as a professional computer engineer, I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough vacancies for promotion. 3) When I was a property agent, I was worried that there wasn’t enough customers in my selected niche are. 4) When I go for buffet, I had to eat as much as possible like there is no tomorrow and usually the meal was done in a rather short time (too full to eat anymore). I was brought up believing that there is not enough to go around and I must compete with my peers for that limited whatever (tha

The Secular Coalition for America has issued an excellent press release (which I am reproducing in its entirety below) pointing out what is at stake with the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. This is the same issue they recently took up by asking us to e-mail President Bush to urge him not to veto this bill. What I really like about this press release is how it frames the issue as Bush imposing his theology on all Americans by impeding medical research that could benefit us all. I believe that this is an accurate and terrifying characterization.“It is Cruel for the President’s Theology to Influence Medical Research”President Bush: Sign the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act - Do not Impede Medical ResearchStatement by Secular Coalition for America Director Lori Lipman BrownWashington, DC – June 7, 2007 -- The Secular Coalition for America strongly urges President Bush to sign the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (S.5), which passed the House today.

Circuit : Ron J Email Ron Source : http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Power/clps.htm Description: This is a 1-amp variable-voltage PSU. It adjusts from about 3v to 24v: and has the added feature that you can limit the maximum output current. This is invaluable when (for example) you power-up a project for the first time or soak-test a piece of equipment. Notes: SW3 is the on/off switch. It also lets you choose between the output with the current limit and the one without. SW2 provides a selection of three different limits. You can increase or decrease this number if you wish. The limits are fixed by R4, R5 & R6. They are set at 10mA, 25mA & 65mA respectively; but you can choose whatever limits you like. If you try to draw a current above the limit you’ve selected, the output voltage will fall. Thus, the voltmeter indicates when the load on the output is excessive. The housing should be well ventilated. The heatsink is a folded strip of aluminium about 2mm thick, 18cm

Why we forget our dreams? - I was doing some reflection the other day and wondered what was holding me back in a few areas. I took a moment and thought back when I thought I was fearless. You know when you're young and there's nothing you can't do. Nothing stopped me. I didn't have a comfort zone. I didn't even know what that was. I noticed as I got older and responsible I developed this thing called a comfort zone. I was working in a corporate structure so whenever I thought outside the box they would say, "Mike, we don't do it that way." I wanted to rise in the ranks so I became a corporate clone.

Inside each of us is a Giant. A giant who has the power, the ability, the authority and the belief to create anything we choose in our lives. But, not everyone has found the giant or even realized that it is there. Why are so many people simply settling for what life has dished out, zombies going from day to day, giving up control to others and just accepting what they get? When you realize the power within, you will never just accept where you are. With this power, you do not buy into the limiting belief of playing life small, a symptom of the limiting beliefs you are harboring inside. Allowing your limiting beliefs to control your outcome in life, totally controlling what you do, who you are and what you have in life. We have all been taught from a very young age that our lives are limited to what we are given, that based on luck, education or whatever might limit people from stepping up and playing big. Life and what you get out of life has nothing to do with any of these th

A friend of mine was telling me about what happened to her Sunday night in her own home. She said someone broke into her home and robbed everything while she lay frozen in her bed cause she was too scared to move. I told her she was very lucky that they did not do anything to harm her, and asked her what she dreaded most about the situation.She is 54 years old, and she said while she sat in the bed she thought they were going to kill her, it made her realize that she had not really done everything she really wanted to. She always made some kind of excuse, like she couldn't afford too or she just couldn't and she would come up with some kind of excuse.What I learned from her experience is that we are not promised tomorrow, and if you really desire to do something then you have to find a way to do it. If you do not chances are you will regret that you didn't do it.People always make some kind of excuse when I speak to people they always act like they are promised tomorrow. They know w

If you are planning or already own a VPS and would like to setup a J2EE server on it but you're having problems with limiting ram allowed for JVM this tutorial is right for you. VPS is definitely a affordable choice of running a J2EE server. Unlike the Private Server where you are the master of domain and all the CPU power as well as all of the RAM available belongs to you, VPS shares the CPU, RAM, space with other users ( not that many as on Shared Hosting).
