If this is going to work as an anti theft device activated by an sms or phone call how are you going to know which number to call? The first thing a criminal does when stealing your phone is to take the battery and sim out.
I used to work for a company that made iPhone apps. Their strategy was to keep continuously coming out with new versions so that they'd constantly be in the new app list. Another wonderful idea was flooding the market with the same app but switched to look up results for a different location, for example a London and New York version with some different graphics.
Except ironically it's the Apple store which is the wild west. I've read numerous times about companies going bankrupt because their accounts were suspended and all their apps were pulled from the market place.
Thanks but no thanks. I've rather play it safe then sorry.
Pardon my ignorance but don't they WRITE the compiler? If it's slowing down then it's their own fault for not making it generate better code in the first place.
Just because you're gay doesn't mean anyone on slashdot cares. It's also a pretty stupid question as the issues of "coming out" are no different then with non-geeks. This isn't a homosexual oriented site. This is a tech site. Hence why windows mobile virus is on the main page and "I'm a gay teen, should I out myself?" isn't.
Thats way too complicated IMO. All that should be allowed is sending a number to the dialer program. Then the user can decide to call that number or not.
Islam doesn't revoke any one's fundamental rights by asking them not to draw pictures of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), you can still draw whatever you want, just leave him alone.
You really need to grow the fuck up and realise that the only reason this draw muhammad competition exists is because muslims have been trying to censor western countries. Really, I don't understand how muslims can get offended over such ridiculous pictures.
Muslims the world over could have just laughed it off and focused your energies towards helping others and being a good examples. Instead you all fell for the bait and proved what de-evolved monkeys you really are.
A Malaysian state court sentenced a Muslim woman to six strokes of the cane after she was caught drinking beer in a hotel in the Malaysian state of Pahang.
In Malaysia (a muslim government) your ID card not only has your religion on it, you're not allowed to change your ID card from being muslim to another religion.
Other muslim governments such as Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan aren't exactly shining beacons of hope either. You have muslims killing teachers in the south of Thailand. Muslims shooting rockets over the borders in Gaza. Muslims bombing underground trains in England. Muslims flying planes into buildings in the US.
I'm an atheist myself however I have a special hate for muslims. They want nothing but to control and make people suffer while pretending to be all about peace and love. Their religion is a disease that infects the minds of reasonable people the world over.
Yes it is, and sadly even though everyone on Slashdot realises this there doesn't seem to be a way for us to tell the patent office about the prior art.
Except no one has ever got physically violent over which operating system is better where as people are dying every day because of their different religious beliefs.
People have their faviourite programming language but I doubt a father has ever cast out their son or daughter after finding out they prefer something else.
Buddhists are just as bat shit crazy as other religions. I live in a 90% + buddhist country and the crazies here are no different then the bible thumpers.
Try telling someone here that Buddha was wrong and you won't last long. Buddhists also have a long history of suing anyone that uses Budhas images out of place.
They're no different then muslims or christians and the only reason the west doesn't portray them as such is because they have no majority buddhist country close by.
802.11s is the IEEE standard for mesh networking. It works at level 3 in the networking stack which means it abstracts the mesh specific details away from the operating system level.
There is already a project similar to Netsukuku called OLSR which has a 700 node mesh networking in Germany I believe. OLSR works at level 4 and runs on windows, linux, osx, android, etc. It works so well that the IETF has put out a draft spec for a version 2 of the protocol.
99% of Internet-connected computers isn't internet connected machines. Not all phones have flash and new devices are constantly coming out. There is no way your company can support them all compared to html+javscript.
Flash doesn't support screen readers "just fine", it supports two, are you really trying to say it supports more then html. What a joke.
Flash doesn't require a pre-loader.
Yes it does. Almost every typical flash file is over 1 Meg and makes the user wait before they can do anything else on the web.
Flash works just fine when JavaScript is disabled too:-)
Except they don't because most developers use Swfdec and a video using html5 would work 100% with or without javascript.
It has a superior programming language
For someone who works at Adobe you don't seem to know that actionscript is ECMAscript with stuff on top. How can it be superior when it's the same language.
as someone with years of AJAX web development experience I can honestly..
You're experience in clusterfuck jobs using non standard tools means nothing.
There is a huge movement behind HTML5 and jQuery.
YouTube, Vimeo are switching to HTML 5. iPhone developers use HTML+javascript to develop their apps on iPhone and everything is being standardised around this.
there are over a million Flash developers out there, and there's a good reason why there are still so many.
Over a million flash developers compared to how many html+javascript developers? You're the minority and the only customers you have are fanbois whose skills are as dead in the water as pascal developers.

Unless apple decides to add your great idea into the iPhone default software in which case you will be banned for replicating existing functionality..
Except it's not money on the table if Apple can come along and just take it back due to secret rule changes.

and what about pregnant women, injured people, older people, etc who might need to travel to work?
Pardon my ignorance but don't they WRITE the compiler? If it's slowing down then it's their own fault for not making it generate better code in the first place.
Maybe they get lonely down there.

Yes they do here are my favorites..

Only an idiot like you would consider someone/thing above criticism. Only an idiot like you would defend a thousands of years old fairy tail.
You seem to be living in la la land.

You've punched someone over the internet? Please tell me how you did this. You're going to be a millionaire.
India and China have the biggest populations on the planet. I'm pretty sure the officials there don't consider them nearly-worthless, just worthless.
Yes it is, and sadly even though everyone on Slashdot realises this there doesn't seem to be a way for us to tell the patent office about the prior art.
