Whenever I write something I think it particularly clever, I comment it out and write something simpler. The clever stuff I find is nearly impossible to figure out next year when you have to go back and add a feature or change something. It doesn't help that I usually think, "Oh that's so clever, there's no way I would forget how that works. It's so elegant." and don't bother to comment the hell out of it.
Any program that allows a user to arbitrarily write to a memory location is potentially a security threat. Buffer overloading is the most common means of taking control of a machine when a malicious user already has unpriviledged access. If the emulator is poorly written (ie it's not a sandbox, but rather simply a command interpreter to the host system) then there's a very real possibility that an exploit can be found.
I don't recall if AT&T uses the same frequencies as Europe
Nope. AT&T uses 850Mhz & 1900Mhz for 3G, Europe uses 2100Mhz. T-Mobile uses 1700Mhz (which nobody else uses) and 2100Mhz for 3G. Unfortunately, they use 1700Mhz for the uplink and 2100Mhz for downlink, making their network incompatible with Europe and Asia.
3G is a non issue when Edge does the job in the few places there is no Wi-Fi.
Yeah, sure. That would have been handy to know last January when I was driving through eastern Oregon in a snowstorm trying to navigate with my iPhone 3G and being unable to see any maps because the EDGE network wasn't getting the job done in the few spots it was available. There were quite a few stretches of road that didn't have Wi-Fi there, oddly enough. The entire length of my trip is covered by Verizon's EVDO network (yeah, there's a map to confirm that). That weekend, coverage sure as hell would have trumped pinchy zoomy.
2. CASE: Regarding Wikipedia, it seems to be alive and kicking.
As a programmer, CASE sounds pretty neat. I think it probably won't obviate the need for programmers any time soon, but it has the potential to automate some of the more tedious aspects of programming. I'd personally rather spend more of my time designing applications and less time hammering out the plumbing. It's interesting to note that a lot of the CASE tools in that wikipedia article I'm familiar with, although they were never referred to as CASE tools when I was learning how to use them. I think the CASE concept may have been too broad, and had gotten a bad name, even thought some of the parts were/are useful.
I'm no Apple fan, but I've seen this exact same scenario played out with Windows Server as well. Usually the situation is that someone in the company convinces the boss that it'll be cheaper and easier to host their own email, etc. That works fine until something goes wrong or the one guy leaves the company.
I don't know how many places I've been to that thought they were backing everything up, and were woefully unprepared when their backups turned out to be incremental and they've been overwriting the same tapes for a year...
But you were still listed on her friends list. You can't unfriend someone and have your name drop off of their list. The original OP said that if you were still on their friends list then the TRO should be rescinded.
Yes, actually they can. Then you can go to the court and state that they are purposefully placing themself to harass you, and the restraining order will be rescinded or amended to allow you to work. Restraining orders are there to protect the individual who files for them, not to harass the target. If you work with someone and have to get a restraining order against them, they can't come to work when you're there.
You have no control over who is your friend on Facebook once the original transaction is complete. Most restraining orders are related to soured relationships, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for the target of a restraining order to have the holder as their friend still.
Even if it was mere happenstance, as soon as the person wihth the restraining order on them realized this was the holder of the order they'd be obliged to leave or be in violation of the order. They'd probably be obliged to explain themselves to the court if anyone else noticed they were in contact with the complainant as well. If a person got on the bus and the other person was there, they'd have to leave, just the same.
A fool who can't determine the difference between a satirical example from his own logical fallacy lecturing about when to back down? I guess you were too busy looking for ammo for your ad hominem attack (yet another logical fallacy issuing from your fount of ineptitude) to actually read the thread you cited. If you had, you might have realized that the "hypocrisy" you brought up was a response that spundly shot down yet another juvenile example that was being used to prop up a poorly thought out argument. STFU when the grown ups are talking, kiddo.
I would tend to agree, but in slightly a different fashion. The games that are not designed for use with the iPhone's control scheme are universally bad. A virtual D-Pad is the worst control ever devised, IMO. There are many many games for the iPhone/iTouch that use the accelerometer or touch interface itself, and those games rule. They're the only ones I play. After investigating, I refuse to play any game with a virtual D-Pad. Sucktackular hack. I'll wait til someon comes up with a hardware controller add on.
It's more like luring people who sell Toyotas with big whale tail spoilers and carbon fiber-looking hoods over to sell plain Toyotas. When they realize how many more people want to buy regular Toyotas, they'll be jumping for joy. Oh, what a feeling!
Oh please. The best idea Bill Gates ever had was to make a third rate product a world standard, and that had little or nothing to do with Apple. Apple's OS has been moot since 1995. They had an opportunity to rule the world, Apple had the best product, without question, for 11 years, and they parlayed that into a 10% market share at their heighth. Great job, Steve.

Is that really a joke?

Simple == good

Absolutely true. Europeans only accept bribes from petty dictators violating their cease fire agreements that have oil.

I concur. Any company that would prefer to give it's money to lawyers instead of putting up more towers is not one I wish to continue supporting.

Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Some of us have friends.
How about calling the lot of them "dicks"? I think that pretty well sums it up.
Gosh, then you're actually hypothetically doing us all a great service pirating. Thank you, Mr. Helper. You're probably a hero.

Oh great, Nokia is re-re-launching N-Gage. Wow. Knock me over with a feather.

WD-40 is not for rust or lubrication, it's for loosening stuck bolts or parts. It's not a general purpose oil and will evaporate in short order. RTFC
