Why not just add a "do you want to enable file sharing" the first time a user tries to use it?
Chances are if you have more than one machine (thus needing file sharing), you have a firewalled router between you and the internet anyways.
The part that pisses me off the most about windows filesharing is that you use the same controls to share files with other users on the same computer as you do to share them with other computers? Why are these the same service at all?!?
I remember in high school, we took a look through network neighbourhood and saw every computer in the school district, including personal machines owned by principles, secretaries, etc. It would have been less than trivial to drop some "interesting" hyperlinks into the startup folder of the shared start menu (why is the fucking start menu shared over the network?!?) and cause someone to have a REALLY bad day. Sure the network admin should be disabling these on school comps, but he has little control over personal laptops and school salaries don't exactly pull in the most experiences network admins...
Completely True. I like to think of it like a painting. An artist paints you a picture and you get that "copy" of the picture. You can hang this picture where ever the hell you want, resell it, move it from one wall to another, etc. The problem comes up when you consider "copying". A painting can not be easily copied (unless you take a picture of it), in which case, you are not allowed to sell pictures of it for profit.
As much as I LOVE open source and the idea of an open source operating system for phones, I fear that phone companies are going to take advantage of this. It won't take much for them to take a beautiful open source, extensible, customizable operating system and ship their phones with a custom locked down, provider locked, limited use piece of crap.
As much as I hate restrictive license agreements, there should be a clause in their license stating that no one can install (for resale) a version of this os with restrictions added. This clause may exist (I haven't checked), but it would be very nice if it did.
Disclaimer: I am pro open source all the way, I do not believe for a second that a OS of all things should be closed, I simply worry about how the phone companies (service, not hardware) will abuse this "open" system and close not the source, but the permissions given to the users.
Actually, I've found one of the best things to use is desiccant. It will provide an absolute zero moisture environment. Simply put some in the bottom of a bucket, then a layer of paper towel, then the electronics.
If you want to re-use the desiccant you can put it in the oven. When it comes out, it will be one piece (no longer powder), but you can break it up pretty easily (like chalk).
Have you seen the specs on the higher end nokia N-Series PDA's? They have everything mentioned in the summary plus most of them run linux out of the box!
Actually, come to think of it, since the normal form of capital punishment these days in lethal injection, why are the blood banks not requesting that they use a system that saves the blood instead of intentionally rendering it un-donatable? With all the "please donate blood" ads on lately, it seems like we are wasting a LOT of blood. Really, how often is it that you can predict the exact time someone is going to die and be ready to collect it?

try using screen on the remote machine.
This also allows you to exit and resume sessions.
Ever seen the program called baobab?
It makes a really nice multi-dimensional pie chart representing disk usage.
I'm sure something similar would be very useful for locating security problems such as addresses and subnets with unusual activity levels, etc.
Funny you say that, my debian based N810 is currently sporting an LCARS theme...
Well, that's what you get for standing on my lawn!
Sure the driver works, I just wish it wouldn't ask me to reboot afterwards...
Note: I'm not even joking here unfortunately
please don't make X like win32, please don't make X like win32, please don't make X like win32...
Well, I guess you could count the round of cookies as profit...
I have downloaded p2p files directly from Microsoft...
Umm, I think you misunderstand the definition of P2P...
And just when you thought DRM was getting easier to break... Now they can do ANYTHING they want with your illegal stuff.
I guess this is especially bad, considering their security!

You may as well just tick a random box...
without changed a bit of code make it 50 million or 50 thousand.
Anyone who can do that is a GOD considering the Linux kernel code itself is 6 Million lines of code...
Anyone else read that as "DOJ: Using the DOJ JavaScript Library"?
I write robo-call software
Of all the times not to hit the "Post Anonymous" check box.

Or a possible sudden need for them!

Wow, not having flashblock sure is annoying.
There, fixed that for you.
And if they don't still have it, you can get them for destruction of evidence!
What would get you busted faster, having you ass ring, or the funny look on your face when it starts vibrating?

Actually, if you think about that really hard, it could be copyright infringement!
