It depends on the client you are using. Typically, and in the case of the G1, the IM client for Yahoo/MSN/AOL use text messages rather than TCP/IP. The Google Talk client on the G1is supposed to use plain old XMPP over TCP/IP. So it's not anything inherent to how the carrier bills sending/receiving instant messages, but rahter whether you're using an SMS app or a TCP/IP app.
It's the G1 that is incompatible, because T-Mobile USA's 3G network uses 1700 MHz for the downlink frequency, which no other carrier in the world uses.
The current AT&T is really SBC, which is the same as Verzion: one of the RBOCs created by breaking up the old AT&T. Neither one has any more or less history as a monopolistic big telco than the other because they're both cut from the same block.
I think if it were a simple firmware feature then far more full HSDPA phones would be available for T-Mobile USA. As of now, I can only find two: G1 and Sony TM506. Currently all the other T-Mobile USA 3G phones are UMTS.
You're retarded.
Ubuntu boots on every Intel Mac I've tried the LiveCD on.
Darwin (the BSD stuff they use) is fully open source.
The entire iTunes (music) catalog is in the process of converting to no-DRM.
Velvet handcuffs are awesome.
That's an impressive response. Almost half your response is a straw man though, as I never made any statements about foreign surveillance. I never objected to foreign surveillance, just domestic surveillance which doesn't meet warrant requirements. So basically our only disagreement is where that requirement begins.
I don't care whether Mr. Klein knows the workings of the NSA equipment or not. And neither should you. As testified, all communication is being routed through the equipment. Refute that. Don't tell me about political agenda and then point out the party affiliation of co-sponsors of the bill you support.
You say it's impossible to determine which communication is foreign and which is domestic without analyzing the envelope. Did it ever occur to you that the companies delivering the data to the NSA can already do this? How else would they know to bill a phone call at an international rate? Those companies can route foreign communications however the NSA legally directs them to. Then they can scan the domestic communications for points of interest given by the NSA and deliver those that match. How about that? I solved your Catch-22 without any axe grinding.
The Constitution requires specificity, the intelligence agencies can't implement a dragnet without violating that requirement. Private companies can as long as their customers are aware, as their customers choose if they want to be customers.
The problem is that according to testimony by engineers at the co-operating telecom facilities, the surveillance technology intercepts all traffic, not just requested traffic. So the NSA is intercepting domestic communications between citizens of no interest, without a warrant. That is in direct violation of the law. Develop a system that intercepts only the communications of interest, obtain a warrant for those streams that need it, and all will be will. Continue the dragnet approach and people will continue, rightfully, to protest the crime.
They can be sued for not maximizing returns for the shareholders. Locking yourself out of significant percentages of the content distribution market because of principles on DRM would most certainly cause a loss of profit because the customers will get the content elsewhere, and that would leave the executives liable to such a suit.
EMI is the only one of the Big Four not using Amazon/Rhapsody solely to weaken Apple's market position in order to tip the contract negotiation scales in favor of the studio.
I'm sure there are some jobs where such photos would actually mean you are less capable of some other candidate. But generally speaking if someone was so egomaniacal as to think pictures of me drunk on my own time means I'm less capable of doing my job, I really don't want to work for them anyway.
According to someone who used to work at an Apple store voiding the warranty for upgrading parts depends on which model Mac you have(you can't upgrade Mini components but you can upgrade many iMac and most Mac Pro components), and Apple's warranties are usually specific to only voiding warranty for anything demonstrably broken by your uncovered upgrades.:)
I love how on newegg, etc, "Apple" hard drives are a separate section, and they cost a LOT more
Can you post some links? I just checked the "External Harddrives" and "Mac Harddrives" listings, filtering for Western Digital, and all the they didn't have any of the same models in both categories. The notable difference is that most of the non-Mac drives had just USB 2.0, whereas most of the Mac drives had USB 2.0, 1394a, 1394b, and eSATA. So if you can find a drive listed under both the "Mac Harddrives" and "External Harddrives" sections and is more expensive in the Mac listing, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see it.
the people who have been hit are the ones who took ARMs and interest-only mortgages. So when interest rates started rising, they're payments went up. Sounds like you have a fixed-rate mortgage, so you're not affected by daily interest rate fluctuations.
The question was "If you call someone long distance, do they normally pay long distance fees?" and the answer is no. You pay for minutes, but you don't also pay long distance rates in addition to paying for the minutes. It was a rhetorical question to contrast against the fact that we do pay to receive a call or an SMS message in the US.
No, the length of the call is deducted from you plan, but you don't pay long distance rates on top of that. At least no carrier that I've used has operated charged me long distance rates for receiving a long distance call (Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile).
You heard wrong. Congress did not declare war according to Alberto Gonzales in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in February of 2006
GONZALES: There was not a war declaration, either in connection with Al Qaida or in Iraq. It was an authorization to use military force. I only want to clarify that, because there are implications. Obviously, when you talk about a war declaration, you're possibly talking about affecting treaties, diplomatic relations. And so there is a distinction in law and in practice. And we're not talking about a war declaration. This is an authorization only to use military force.
Since the bill allows instant tapping of calls to/from joe terrorist's known overseas number and some number in the us, it really isn't so unreasonable.
The original FISA already allowed for that without being modified. The government already had up to three days after initiation of the tap to obtain a specific warrant. So why was this even needed?
"I can make firefox for the iPhone but legally I can't install it"
legally you can install it because you own the device. Apple just isn't providing you the means to distribute it via the SDK and App Store, and they aren't required to.
What, flip-flopping on having a real SDK doesn't look worried to you?
Apple announced from the beginning that they would be working on a way to allow app development other than web apps and in October that an SDK was coming, and Google announced Android in November. Where's the flip-flop?

AT&T uses 1900. So any AT&T Android phones should work in Canada.

Not aloof enough? Don't you know he's seen everything? He's seen it all!
I know he was slated to play the Meddling Monk, but maybe he can take over as the Dr himself instead.

Weren't about 30% of Vista crashes in 2007 due to nVidia drivers? Looks like almost 50% when you add in Intel and Ati. source

I thought graphics pros would be more likely to use a Mac Pro with an external LCD, rather than an iMac or a Mini.
