Yup had this on my old nokia. The funny thing is that it doesnt tell you what 0 8 is, it just says your pressing it, so when I would pull my phone out I would quite often notice the display saying '0' or '08'. One day I got curious and hit "send"...
NO, normal phones dont dial 911, they have special key combos that can get accidentally pressed. I had a nokia a few years back and accidentally dialed 911 on the keypad by pressing 0-8 when it is locked. None of the other keys function when it is locked, so all you have to do is put pressure on the lower corner of the phone and you get the 0, then just put flat pressure on the top and you get the 8, and do this within 3 seconds. If you have keys in your pocket or something this is rather easy to do. The 0 and the 8 are right next to each other.
The iphone on the other hand, is much harder to accidentally do anything with. As it is right now, you have to unlock the phone, then enter your password (if it is locked). If you don't know the password you can still access emergency numbers via a button in the corner.
Except do it in the form of ICWXP (www.icwxp.com). I can't say I've been happy with the quality of rifftrax lately and I doubt the old writing team and rifftrax are going to join forces... At least ICWXP has their act together.
How is this flamebait? He brings up a good point, like seriously, the only people who can spend their time doing such a thing after beating a game are:
Likely inexperienced with games to the point they haven't realized time/reward of doing such a thing is virtually nill
Have a lot of free time on their hands where they really don't have better things to do or other obligations where they really need a game that is to the point
Do not have that much or any money to spend on a new game or other entertainment
Do not have a social partner who would scream murder if they had to watch them try to collect all those things
Have not discovered online competition or do not understand what is good about it
And that pretty much describes children. Sure adults also fit that criteria but no one can say he is wrong when he says "mostly" children. That certainly doesn't make him flamebait and I think it really shows how pathetic the mod is who got offended by the parent post.
my iphone only comes with safari. And itunes. Maybe I want to buy my songs from Amazon music through my phone instead of itunes. Thats lost revenue for Amazon. The iphone is the only phone with certain features, I have no alternative if I want those features. They have a monopoly in that respect. Maybe I dont want iphone apps approved by apple. If anything, this is a better example than the MS browser situation because Apple actually gets money from you being forced to use itunes while MS gets absolutely nothing for giving you IE.
What's next? When I start giving away things for free I'm going to get sued because I took away business from some guy who made money from it? That's all this boils down to. If MS was a European company instead of an American company would these assholes be doing what they are doing now? I really think they wouldn't.
Hmm maybe your playing at a much easier difficulty than I am. I'm playing on hard. I've almost finished the survival book from that annoying girl and I'm on my way to that city that was built out of an aircraft carrier over in the corner of the map. I've done some other side missions as well.
Pay compensation for enjoying something and that artist will continue to produce more work. Otherwise the music companies will punish you by constantly selling crappy music/movies.
Doing the opposite of that is why my music collection now consists of few songs newer than 4 years old.
Here's another thing, if you have money, spend the damn stuff. Don't be a cheapskate who can't fork out 99 cents for a song they like when you get less long-term enjoyment out of that McDonald's ice cream cone you impulsively bought yesterday.
I know. I was saying he probably didn't meet those intelligent businessmen in business school. Many (if not most) smart businessmen didn't go to school and many (if not most) people in business school are just there to appease their parents by going to college. My brother got a degree in business, realized it was crap, and used it to get into law school where he became a lawyer.
Here's something to think about, lets say there are two objects, A and B, and I am observer C. We together form classic triangle. Suddenly, both objects A and B move both towards and away from C at 99% the speed of light. Relative to each other, A and B do not see each other moving faster than the speed of light, even though they are both moving away from each other. Observer C likewise does not see them moving relative to itself faster than the speed of light.
However, relative to each other, C observes A and B moving away from each other faster than the speed of light. Thus they are moving faster than the speed of light, at least to C.
And at this point you wonder if scientists who make claims about objects moving faster than the speed of light are not taking this fact into account.

I lived with reader 7.0. I heard about the banner exploits that serve up pdfs, and sure enough one day somethingawful.com's ad banner service served up a pdf document. I immediately force closed it before that bloated application took the 10 seconds it takes to load, then upgraded to the latest version. Now IE crashes whenever I close it. Not too big a deal on its own but friggen annoying when another program uses IE to display something. Uninstalled reader 9.0, then reinstalled it. Same issue...
I'm no virus expert but isn't this mis-use of the term "worm"? I thought worms (as a computer virus) was any virus that would back-door your system without any action on your part other than being on an unprotected machine that is on a network that features the worm. If you have to view an infected profile to get your twitter account infected that doesn't seem like a worm to me.
Yesterday got a speed app and was able to reduce the issue to the time it takes to connect to a source (often times 4 seconds). Once it connects it is fast but a typical webpage, for example, will have a lot of different sources to connect to in order to display the page. The web browser doesn't try connecting to them all at once, it only seems to connect one at a time. So you got the web page, then the images, then the flash (even though it doesnt know how to display it), then sub webpages, etc. The more domain names in the webpage the worse.
Slashdot is especially slow to connect to. I think typical time for the main page was like 1 1/2 minutes until recently slashdot trimmed the number of entries showing on the main page, so its now more like 45 seconds. Too bad there is no ad-block for the iphone that would speed things up a bit.
The problem with AT&T's 3G is that the connection from your phone to their tower is fast but their tower's connection to the internet is 14k baud dial-up or something. Some towers don't even have internet connectivity, I was on a mountain with 5 bars of 3G, parked, and had no internet connectivity whatsoever. I drove down a small town nearby and it worked fine, except of course for that slow page loading issue.
128kbit MP3s have more bass than their regular counterparts. Well, maybe not "more", but its definitely has the ability to make lower frequencies sound better somehow.
The mp3 player and equalizer matters as well, WinAmp does a pretty good job of playing lower bitrate files with less of that metallic/underwater sound to them. The mp3 cd-player in my car on the other hand...
Doesn't this cost apple money big time? I don't mean lost sales, I mean apple has to pay developers / artists monetary value for every song "purchased". If your not contributing into's apples "royalty fund" then its coming out of their own pockets. This is probably theft in the truest form.
Of course, "lets only allow verified codes" probably went into the same idea bin as "lets allow copy and paste for the iphone".
I agree, why should we be first to file? Its not like you can just claim you did something, you need a dated legally recognized document that has a witness's signature that claims you came up with an invention, and you have to file for the patent within a reasonable time frame of that document (i.e. 30 days ish). If you don't do that, then it is just like first to file. Seems like our system is just an improvement IMO.
A lot of Windows 9x crashing was due to faulty drivers and such as well. The difference was that in windows xp the hardware abstraction layer can cause most hardware related things/peripherals to gracefully die while in windows 9x they all ran directly off the hardware. The only windows 9x crashing I can think of that can be blamed on the OS is that windows 98 couldn't run for more than 28 consecutive days or so before the the internal timer (since boot-up) on it looped over and crashed the system.
Thinking about it, most BSOD issues you had back in those days was either from your printer drivers, your network drivers, your graphic drivers, or a bug in your game which ends up tieing up the hardware.
And the only reason windows 9x allowed games to crash your system was because the game companies needed as much speed as possible and a HAL slows things down.

actually its the clients not smart enough to use an unsigned integer.
The clients not smart enough to use 64-bit integers will have their day in a couple years.

At that rate, imagine what you could accomplish if you worked 1 hour a week.
On a side note you should spend more time with your family.
1. Nobody advertises a feature on an app as if it was included only to find out you have to pay extra for it
2. Its impossible to get "auto-charged"

Obviously I'm not playing that much. Which is my point, if I'm not even playing the main game that much should I bother with the DLC?
I never finished GTA4 either.
If I haven't beaten the game by now should I even bother with the DLCs? I've owned this since Xmas and my guy is level 8...
Here's a secret
