We have lots of kids downloading lots of apps, and parental controls don't work unless the parents
set them up (many don't). So know that we're keeping an eye out for the kids.
Pathetic excuse... I already sold my 3G and sure as hell won't buy another Iphone. Next stop: Android city.
You should read some of his posts on the 5series.net forum (the link is a few posts up).
There is nothing defensible in his behavior. As someone already mentioned it was a heavily populated area with a school near by.
His answer on the forum was that he is careful when driving and that he made sure the road is clear before pulling the stunt. That comment alone should give you an idea about his total lack of maturity.
He even managed to crash his car a few weeks after the speeding incident. Enough said.
Read the post right above yours... the european version of Droid (Milestone) cannot be flashed with a custom ROM. And it's already been a few months since it launched.
Maybe it has an eFUSE, maybe it doesn't... you still can't root it.
Besides, Motorola acknowledged the fact that some of their phones are (will be) locked down and even recommended getting a nexus one instead, if you want to hack your phone.
I noticed a change in the behavior of the proximity sensor on the 3G after updating to iOS4.
Let's say I enter the phone app to place a call. When the call ends the phone app comes back up, but the proximity sensor is still active (although I'm not in a call anymore).
If I exit the phone app the proximity sensor deactivates.
I call shenanigans.
On my 3G the slashdot site slows to a crawl and is unusable with all its fancy ajax controls. I tried changing my settings, but nothing seems to work.
Maybe it's better on a 3GS as it has double the amount of RAM and a faster processor.
They do provide the option to turn off articles on a certain topic, like say - Apple.
They even remind you about the option each time Apple launches a new device and a huge number of articles covering it are expected to hit the site.
I care.
Suppose some day (maybe in OS 4.0) it will get multi-tasking. Do you really think that it doesn't matter whether it has 256 or 512 MiB?
I know, I know... let's wait for the next iteration with 1 GiB of RAM, camera, etc...
“Omar was pretty good with computers,” says Garcia.
You heard that? "Pretty good with computers"... that must really mean something, especially coming from a (car dealership) manager.
Then, of course, we have this little gem:
Then police obtained access logs from Pay Technologies, and traced the saboteur’s IP address to Ramos-Lopez’s AT&T internet service
So he accessed the website (using his password, no hacking required here) from his home? Without even bothering with Tor?
"Pretty good", but not good enough.
You are in fact paying more for the privilege of running Apple's OSX.
With all the recent problems (imacs with yellow, flickering screens; mac pros struggling to play audio and overheating) I fail to see the high quality standards which everybody here applauds.
Just give me any Mac configuration (laptop or desktop) and I'll match it with better performance and lower price. The only problem is you won't be able to run OSX on it (not legally anyway; nor hassle free).
'You'll have to support two versions of Windows,' he said. 'Each needs to be secured, antivirused, firewalled and patched. If a company has 10,000 PCs, that's 20,000 instances of Windows.'
I'm sure glad they cleared things up, but I think I'm gonna need a few more examples with numbers before I can really grasp the multiplication by two.

Noone would cry for you, noone would call out your name, noone would reach out for you in the dark wishing you were there.
Why would you want something like that? I really do want for no one to care... in the big picture, it's all the same in the end. A hundred years from now it would be like I never existed. All my thoughts and troubles, all my dreams, will be all gone.
So why should somebody else suffer for me? It's clearly not beneficial to them, and it sure won't bring me back.
As soon as someone has served his purpose (read: raise offsprings) Life will discard him. And if he didn't have any children, no problem, he will not have passed his genes. And nothing of value was lost, right?
I have quack earthquake scientists like him in my own country. Luckily nothing bad happened and the media quickly got bored of the subject, or else we would have had to listen their preachings about how they were right, and that nobody listened to them.
It saddens me when I see the reaction of some Slashdot users with an attitude like: "Science bitches! It works (TM)!"
Science can only be reliable if we tune out all the fame and fortune seekers that plague it. I recommend reading this blog for more insight on this topic.
I promise you that by this time next year i will have a blog and will post the non-bogus slashdot stories for people like you... who find it too hard to tell by a short glance of the summary if the story is a joke or not.
S It was like they crafted it over the course of a month or two, then popped it on an unsuspecting crowd. It was elegant, it was funny and it suckered lots and lots of people.
You mean like the User Achievements feature?
I don't know if you noticed, but that is the only Slashdot original April Fool's Joke. The rest (ThePirateBay + WarnerBros, Opera face gestures, Google CADIE) are just stories covered from other sources. It's like an index of AF pranks.
I'm beginning to also hate this day. But only because of people who keep complaining like it's the end of the world. Take a walk in the park or something, stay off the internet for one day, it won't kill you. You knew this would happen...
I find it funny trying to figure out which stories are fake and which not...
So... you are here only to complain. Is it really the end of the world? It's just a frickin' day, get over it.
It's not like you didn't know that today is April 1st; you made a choice (to read slashdot today), so deal with it.

What's this MM you're talking about? Were you trying to write the abbreviation for millimeter and your CAPS key got stuck?
Winamp and utorrent are not open-source. They're freeware. There's a difference between the two, you know?
