Email And Cell Phone In One From RIM

Posted by timothy on from the everything-that-rises dept.

ericmc42 writes: "Research in Motion anounced a new Blackberry this morning, and it has a GSM cell phone in it! It looks great! Email, PIM, Phone all in one. The best part about it is that the email still uses the same packet switched network that all other Blackberrys use. This means the email connection is 'always on' and the battery life should be good. Also interesting is that it runs Java 2 as its operating system."

    Sorry I'm a bit offtopic on this one... Java 2 isn't a Operating System. Java 2 is a programming language. Therefore for your comment to be correct, it should read "uses a java 2 Operating system."

    Lessig and others should examine what negative impact this would have on free software, ie.. it would transfer many works to the public domain which would effect our freedoms.. it would allow proprietary companies the ability to piggyback off of the efforts of gpl hackers make changes to the freecode and then allow them the ability to distribute modified snoopware binaries.

    --Software copyrights are apparently working right now as w/ the gpl there is an era of tension and we all know a good amount of tension is healthy in any functioning democracy

  6. OT: Important news! Kyoto treaty ratified in EU. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    And the Americans really thought that the rest of the world would not ratify the Kyoto treaty...

    Europe's environment ministers have agreed that all 15 member states of the Union should be bound by the Kyoto Protocol, which seeks to limit humanity's influence on the Earth's climate. Ratification of the treaty itself now goes to the European Council of heads of state and government, which could take the action as early as the EU summit in Barcelona, Spain, this month.

    The ministers' agreement was reached at a meeting in Brussels.

    "This means that the EU will complete the ratification [process] by 1 June," said European Commission spokeswoman for environmental protection Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen.

    While my grandpa slept, I quietly went into the room, and slid into bed with him.

    First, I tied his arms behind his back. Then, I tied his feet together.

    Then, I turned him on his stomach.

    I proceeded TO FUCK HIM IN THE ASS. UP AND DOWN UP AND DOWN. OH YEA OH YEA. He was screaming and moaning.. OH I knew he loved it as much as I.

    I turned him over, and inserted his dick into my mouth, and gave him the best blow job ever. He spilled his cum all over into my mouth, as I spit it all over his face.

    I then finished off my slicing off his penis and shoving it into my ass.
