Some old person trying to give their email address to the cashier. As aol@www.www. Or someone with folks behind them loudly spelling out lickmyjizz69@gmail.com. Lol. Yeah this seems âoelike a good ideaâ.
Instead cashiers will just type in some bullshit and that person will not get the email.
But donâ(TM)t let that stop you CA from putting everyone through a lot of trouble to implement YET ONE MORE RULE.
Most people either keep clean inboxes or messy ones. So if you are one that always has hundreds of emails in your inbox it will perpetually show you are "swamped".
Yeah. After all, RIM's phone's are based on Java, use ARM processors, run apps. Whole world of difference there vs. the other guys. Night and day really.
We use them at work and they are the absolute WORST in terms of reliability. They have not a clue. The support people claim there are no issues even though they drop packets like crazy. Then you get one of the actual techs out on site and talk to them, and they let slip how faulty equipment does not get replaced, etc.
They are looking to sell to current BlackBerry users. That is possible. Winning vs. iOS and Android is not at this point.
Given that, I am not sure why this reviewer had so much trouble using the PlayBook with his BlackBerry. I linked mine up just fine. The bridge has a few issues but mostly works well. Other than that, there is a lot to like about the PlayBook. So I'd say the hyperbole in calling it "un-useable" is not justified. I've used the heck out of mine. The web browser alone does a fantastic job.
Gets your "trusted" credentials, that would be more damaging, right? Kind of like now -- someone pairing your ss# to your full name is much more dangerous because of the trust factor placed in that. Whereas if they get your Yahoo Mail login they spam all your friends until you close the account or get control of it.
I think I would like this to be optional for sure. Let's see how well it works or what a disaster it is before everyone is required to use it to do business with say PayPal -- Google -- etc.
.. When there are services that automate sharing login credentials for accessing one drive by many "users". Sorta like how there are sites that store and give out logins to get around paywalls for new sites. Amazon will have to police this and shut it down immediately. Or else it gives the music industry a possible argument to say that Amazon is facilitating piracy.
... thus giving Apple the *control*.
Ironically, Oracle seems to be proving that what Apple has done on the consumer side (closed platform resulting in better end user experience), might also be possible in the enterprise by tight integration of enterprise software and hardware. So maybe Apple should have bought Sun at some point here recently and got a leg up in the enterprise as well.
Let the ones with a commercial interest in keeping the internet operating defend everything, like it is now. Let the Google's, Amazon's and NetFlix's, and.. all the network operators stop the attacks. I mean what would some bureaucrat(s) care?
Limiting the user's choice to one/more apps stores achieves something decades of anti-virus research has miserably failed to do; provide computing that is largely free from malware. This appeals to lots of non techie users. So perhaps this was part of Apple's thinking in the first place.
We get these off of Tiger Direct. Less $$ than Dell. Easy to work on if you had to for example swap a power supply. This is as opposed to some of the stuff from HP and Dell, which for example can have odd star screws and assemblies just to get to the CPU heat-sink and blow out dust. Essentially the Systemax units are as in-expensive as you can build but without actually using your time to do the building, and as easy to service.
"Mobile phones and personal technology, for example, could be used to record the bills that members of Congress actually read and then determine what stimulus funds were successfully spent."
Purposeful inefficiencies to a certain degree. The first to take advantage of this transparent access would be one's enemies. Where is the incentive? I agree this is how things should work. I just do not see the incentive for this. Time and again providing more information than is necessary puts people at disadvantage.
Yes. I refuse to fly on a plane where there are not people in the cockpit that share the same risks as me. The pilots do pre-flight inspections with THEIR safety in mind as well as mine and all the others aboard. It is their drive of self preservation that helps protect me.
The simplest way to prevent this problem is what the OP suggests. Make the tubes physically incompatible and add a color code to simplify grabbing the right one.
But of course having them all connect the same way means nurses are faster at connecting things in every-split-second-matters situations. So then the key is to make them all incompatible in a way that also does not hinder speed. Example with a PC -- USB is a snap while connecting a DVI video cable takes a minute. You can never confuse the two, and yet one is much more user friendly.
Plenty of products are sold with "fine print" disclaimers. Of course there is no cheating with bagels and burgers in those analogies and getting by. But there are better examples. Life insurance plans where the advertised "price" is 19.99/Month, then in fine print "Per Unit". Then you find out later it takes 3 "units" to make the plan you wanted. Then the REAL price becomes 59.97/Mo. Lots of selling relies on this type of trick.
You are assuming that 6800 was an absolute "fair value". If 6800 was under-valuing the market then perhaps the current value is more correct. So maybe these companies are not worth 1.5 times more, but rather + 1.2x, or + 1x.. etc.
Yes. The legislative "compromise" phase almost reminds me of a family at Christmas that spends when they shouldn't. Everyone knows they shouldn't be spending as a whole because they are already over-loaded in debt and sinking. Yet, if they all get what they want, they find some justification.
Part of the issue is the USPS servers are not failing consistently. Sometimes they allow a connection and respond so slowly to requests that the ecommerce app. times out. Sometimes they allow no connections and return nothing. Sometimes they are simply returning shipping rates of 0.00. So any live "backup" would have to allow for all that, at least.

So then it just becomes a tax in effect. Probably the intent anyway. CA loves 'em some taxes.

Would mean this is not even a notable story.

I disagree. The Comedian's character was pretty convincing in the brutality the R rating allowed. To me that was central in the story.
RIM seems to be doing just fine as well. So then I guess they'd be in the Apple-strategy camp? Closed, and 100% control of the "experience".
Let the ones with a commercial interest in keeping the internet operating defend everything, like it is now. Let the Google's, Amazon's and NetFlix's, and.. all the network operators stop the attacks. I mean what would some bureaucrat(s) care?
They, to paraphrase, "lose some energy and focus" when they do not get their way. Interesting way to put that.
They just want to wait 'til 11.11.11 to give it a cool release date.
