I'm _not_ the only one to have horrific experiences with Hitachi SAN rigs then. Not that this helps me sleep better, because they'll still probably blow up the next scheduled work again.
Standard leased lines in South Africa present relatively good performance internally, and the international pipes aren't too bad these days either. Of course, you pay through your ass for these.
Combined, Sprint and VZW have more customers than GSM companies...Apple would have been better off.
Really? Those 2 United States operators have more customers than all the GSM companies in all of the international markets Apple currently sells the iPhone in? ![citation desperately fucking needed]!
As an active skydiver, I'm asking you nicely to pick another one of those choices. It's no fun for anyone standing around the DZ on a nice sunny day when selfish fuck decides to use our sport as his means to kill himself. It's no fun having to watch the paramedics try to save their life when you can see in their eyes they're dead. It's no fun to see the faces of the children who just came to see mummy get strapped to some man and go tandem when they realise that shit on their shoes used to be a living person.
So do us all a favour, and fuck off.
I'll leave the other ideas to the active climbers, motorcyclists and others who you'd like to make shit for.
You OK there? Really? Sure you're not batshit fucking insane or anything?
I 100% guarantee you that your government (no matter where you live) has done something equally heinous in the last 100 years. Hell, I'd bet even money that the government of your nation has done some really horrible things within the last 50 years. Should we all hate you too ?
MythTV is utterly worthless for many users. Getting it hooked up to my TV provider (Sky in the UK) has proven to be more grief than it is worth. I don't know of anyone with a successful deployment that I can even go and poke at.
You assume that everyone has a non-Mac machine. I've been using Apple hardware exclusively for 4 years before the iPhone came out for day to day sysadmin, Java development and HPC development. So no, I didn't need that so called first step of yours.
Hell if I know - I was pissed that I had to give up my firearm when I moved here. If I had known I'd have to give up my leatherman, I would have stayed home with the violent crime instead.
Having said that, I'm now in Singapore - the UK looks positively liberal by comparison:)
Hi there... Part of your comment is a bit misleading... you say:
"You pay Apple a small fee and get access to piles and piles of sample code, great documentation, a mature API"
Well, yeah, I guess you could go that route.
OR - you could sign up for the FREE account, get the SDK, get all that great documentation, get the mature API and get a fantastic emulator to test in.
When, and ONLY when you're ready to test on physical hardware, you can pay Apple just under $100 and get the ability to deploy to hardware and release to the store. But for all your getting started steps, you don't have to spend 1c more than it costs to start with Android.
Technically, carrying a leatherman is illegal in the UK unless you can show good cause. But that's not the worst of it - good cause only covers you during the time the cause applies.
Say I'm carrying a supertool for work - that would get me off the hook if I get searched moving between buildings (we have 3 main sites all over town). But if I still have it in my bag at 8pm while shopping on Oxford street, I no longer have good cause - I should either leave it at work (unsafe and unlikely to still be there the next day), or go home and drop it off - so travel 1 hour home and 1 hour back to the building next to my office.
You guys do know that many, many South African's speak English as their first language, right ?
Most South Africans I know speak better English with fewer weird accents than the UK population. I've never had to try and understand what is meant by 'Arwight mate, innit' while talking to a saffa:)
You've obviously never travelled to a dodgy African country - there is NO way that you trust anyone to hold your passport as it's your only way out when the shit hits the fan.
Plus, theft is rife even in the 'nicer' hotels in some of these shitholes.
Maybe I'm just confused here, but what keyboards did we have in the 19th century that had backspace keys? Or does some idiot not know that the 1900's were the 20th century ?
Model releases are very much a USA thing. In the UK, we don't technically need them. They're still nice to have to make things perfectly clear to the model, but unless some other contract was entered into when you took the pictures, you own the copyright and can do with as you will.

Huh - you got bandwidth caps too? Sorry to hear that. :p

Because they're not running on DSL.

Nope - that's not it. The cable is for international transfers and is completely unrelated to this story.
Internal transfer speeds in .za just suck. Always have, always will, until Telkom get some competition.

I'd love to believe that someone in a position of power said this and got away with it, but Google doesn't find the quote.

Do you stand behind all of your other staff watching them too ?
Must suck working for you!

You're calling someone an idiot for taking a well publicised law into consideration when planning a business.
Uhm, I have no words...

You need a model release to publish the picture of an otherwise not-famous person in an advertisement.
Only if you live in America.
I think you'll find that it's "Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule"

How else do you think the paparazzi survive ?
how to help kill that pesky second hand text-book market. Now people will get to pay full retail _every_ year with no cost-cutting options.
Genius - keeps the IP business alive and kicking.
You are but a mole on the ass of the other one.
There - fixed that for you.
Sure - but in this case, the minor is being forced to appear naked - child porn convictions have been secured with less.
Pussy.
