..Or maybe the autorun program could be an option in the "what do you want to do"-menu. That way the user still has to take action, and you don't have to reprint every manual printed within the last 14 years.
According to the bloggers followup, at least three models are affected: 5800 (20.0.0.12) N79 (11.049) E75 (110.48.78)
Also from the followup: Yes, I know there is a solution called Nokia Messaging (read more from here), but maybe I wasn't clear enough in my initial post: I am configuring direct IMAP/POP access to my own/company/organization/whatever email service and I am not using nor planning to use Nokia's messaging proxy.
At first I read fragmentation as in "frag grenade". Guess I've been playing too many violent games. Oh, that reminds me - tax reports are due tomorrow, right?
But if you read the follow-up, they talk about having a game autorun as a feature they planned to implement. The "no-spinning-up" was probably just to avoid your machine go "Bzzt" every two seconds.
Hopefully far away. To ordinary people, this is indeed a non-story. But to a true nerd, a story about an undocumented feature in a (once) popular tech almost being implemented in a (once) popular OS is interesting reading. It may not be "news for nerds, stuff that matters" but it's definitely "stuff for nerds".
Yeah, but this one uses a master password and a domain name, and no randomness. Thaat means:
a) No remembering of passwords, other than master pass. You can always generate it again if you forget. And you don't need a password-file, just the above algorithm.
b) A different password for every site, so not too many worries about lax security at the hosts.
I think the increased accident rate has more to do with people getting rear-ended because they break too hard in order to avoid red light cameras. Also, is there any part of having a short amber period that makes the crossings more safe, or does it just cut out half a second of green light?

It can become quite an inconvenience if the app designer relies on that feature.
what are you talking about? Googling for "filetype:torrent brainfart" gave me nothing at all.

nope.
At least that was very clearly not his intention

How about "faux-tech-neo-nerd-speak"?
Yeah, winamp really didn't stop for anything back in those days. On my win9x-system it would happily play through some bluescreens as well.

The problem is, when they see your collection of tinfoil hats, they'll split every molecule of your house in search of what you're hiding
I think he was talking about firefox being OSS.
But you could have someone outside Draconiland make the hash-list. Should be a simple one-time operation.
So, lasers don't kill mosquitos, people do?
You can be pretty anonymous when you check your hotmail through a couple of botnet proxys
And when that's used up, then what? Do we chop down a windmill?
I think OP was thinking of Power over Ethernet
Why not just make it impossible to hide your ID?
Yeah, but this one uses a master password and a domain name, and no randomness. Thaat means:

I normally follow something along this line:
passWord = masterPassWord
while (i<10 || !containUClcd(passWord)) {
password = base64(md5(passWord + domainName))
i++
}

It's funny because it's true
Mod it up because you can't see a use for that?
Maybe he thought it was a good question and wanted it answered.
