On the flip side, attending UVA in-state costs around $12k/year and you arent gambling your future on the hope that you DO recoup the costs.
Opportunity cost is thrown around as if attending Georgetown guarantees a high-paying job. Turns out all it guarantees is a massive debt and a shot on the roulette wheel.
Overlaying the qwerty keyboard-- specifically the "qwe-asd-zxc-0" keys-- with 0-9 is something that is pretty specifically Blackberry. Every other phone with qwerty I've seen has overlaid it over qwertyuiop. On-screen keyboards have generally had it as an alternate keyset, or overlaid it over the qwerty.... keys.
Its not even just that, its that when you put the two side by side you cant really tell which is which. Everything about the styling and design is exactly like Blackberry, and generally one of the thresholds for cases like this is whether it is likely to confuse a customer as to the maker of a product.
>Accuses rightwingers of being bigots >Calls them retarded and backwards
Hypocrite much? You sound like you spend way too much time in liberal echo chambers. Hers a funfact for you: the majority of "rightwingers" are probably just as intelligent as you are.
Seriously grow up and realize this whole "theyre the enemy"mentality is part of the demise of compromise and discussion these days.
Remote wiping does nothing to affect the market for stolen phones.
If you could report the IMEI as stolen and that caused carriers to refuse to carry it (on pain of FTC fine), the market for stolen smartphones would disappear.
What they want is centralized control over the functionality for governing purposes
This isnt a terribly big risk. If "the powers that be" start shutting off people's phones, it would be immediately obvious. The big threats are the government intrusions that you DONT notice.
Im a pretty solidly conservative republican, but this sort of thing just doesnt worry me.
The HP35 isnt even close, and the Typo is a blatant ripoff. I hate patent trolls as much as the next guy, but come on, theres not even room for debate here. Theyre EXACTLY the same. Even ALT and Shift are in the same spots, and the numbers-- which have generally gone across the top on other phones-- are laid out the same way.
Its hilarious to hear this in a world where SSL is a beseiged technology, and RIM offered the only solution with per-device keys. Clearly we'll all be better off without the only mass-produced product that is neigh on unhackable.
I have of course moved on to android because RIM hasnt kept up-- but the world would be better off if they had because they had some incredibly good offerings and to this day have the only workable physical keyboard. With as much as I love swiftkey, Im still not convinced it holds a candle to a good Blackberry.
The shape and feel of the keyboards is basically everything there is to the keyboard, and its all basically a copy. Its not even remotely similar to the apple case.
A lot of the patents out there are ridiculous, but have you actually seen these keyboards? They are straight up copies down to the beveling. Its not a "whats the corner radius maybe they stole from apple" thing, its a "they very probably sent a photo of a blackberry keyboard over to manufacturing" scenario.
Aside from BES, keyboards definately were (are) the best things about blackberry; Id probably lose my crap too if I were RIM and someone straight up copied it.
You're EXACTLY right. Im simultaneously shilling for Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
Or maybe, not knowing all the facts, not knowing whether anti-poaching agreements are legal, and not knowing whether the emails referenced in the article are legit, Id rather wait to see if this is complete BS (no stranger to slashdot) or whether theres any substance here. If you want to blindly trust every headline you come across on slashdot, go right ahead, just dont be surprised when you end up with a remarkably wacky worldview based on fantasy formed in timothy's head.
*Cough* Nonsense. What happened to Comodo? [youtube.com] After they were compromised 3 times and issued numerous false certificates?
That was a long time ago, and SSL threat mitigation has been stepped up a LOT recently. A better example would be DigiNotar, which was revoked following its breach 2 years ago.

What the heck does that mean? Do you even understand how the OSI model works?
IIRC Encryption is layer 6/7, not layer 4. Theres a reason it was layered the way it was.
Absurd. Youre implying that people attending Burning Man might have issues subscribing to a system of norms and rules? I dont believe it.
Too bad LiveMesh kicked the bucket, as it was actually the perfect solution (once you got over the performance hit).
Gee, look at all of those state colleges on there.
Its almost like he had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.
You also often get internships in your local area.
Are you aware that UVa and Berkeley are both public universities with very low resident tuition?
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. A degree from a state university is basically toilet paper as compared to, say, MIT
Clearly UVa, W&M, JMU, and GMU are all garbage schools. Or Berkeley. Or Texas A&M.
Have fun with your debt, hope your spin at the job lotto is worth it.

This should really be done with IMEI, so its not tied to a particular vendor and doesnt rely on a network connection.

Thats because viruses arent alive to begin with. Theyre sort of similar to prions in that way.
You cant kill a virus, you ignorant clod.
Sunlamps arent quite the same thing. They help, but (for one) they do not trigger vitamin D production.

Those are cicadas, not circadians.
The amount of daylight your body gets ALSO affects your biological health and circadian rhythm.

Apparently being a successful company is a bad thing these days. We should just tax them all at 80% tax rate like France, that'll teach them.

Google may well have been bigger than Apple in 2006.
