A HandSpring Treo 180 and Treo 650 (Palm-branded IIRC, but it could have been PalmOne). Both bought from Amazon US, no special connections required. I just went on and bought them. Same way I got my N900.
The crazy attachment for the HandSpring Visor was a VisorPhone, basically like an addon cellular module. I don't know what type of cell connection it used.
You know if you style yourself after Penn Jillette you could probably pull off the ponytailed uber-hacker look. You need legendary skills to get away with the RMS look.
Am I the only person who just bought those things from Amazon? I swear I have unlocked and unbranded phones from before the iPhone came out. I can put vids on YouTube if you don't believe me.
Wow you call 911 a lot if you're experienced in the geolocation capabilities of your newest phone. I've never called 911 in my life. If you add up all the times my immediate family has called 911, it's probably about 4, and in all of those incidents it was calling the police to an incident as an onlooker.
Yeah those blackberries you can pwn by serving them a malformed image through the browser. Those blackberries that are wiretapped by half the governments on the planet.
They're very secure on paper, I'll give them that.
I don't think anybody *likes* Microsoft. The closest thing they get to "love" is when people settle for MS products when they have other options (and half the time, it's just because they don't know they have other options).
Yeah no shit it's beyond the safe limits for a person, but by how much? These things can look through the thick steel side of a shipping container or a dumpster.
By this argument, changing your oil, repairing your radiator, and rebuilding a carburetor are part of "using a car."
Well, yeah, routine maintenance is part of using a car (oil/brakes/filters/tire pressures/changing flats/checking for obvious wear and leaks). The radiator should last practically forever and carb rebuilds shouldn't be routine. I'm not a Heinlein type who thinks that every person should be 100% self-sufficient but being 100% dependent on others if anything goes even slightly wrong seems like a bad thing. Dealing with problems and making changes to something used to be part of knowing how to use something.
Good points about the difference in policies between the two, however it seems that having the Dems in power doesn't stop the Republicans from doing exactly what they want, it only slows them down slightly.
You don't need to be an expert to use a computer. I'm not asking people to be able to debug their own kernels. Just some basic knowledge. I can at least do my own basic car maintenance, I could grow crops if I had anything to gain by doing so, and I have enough basic medical knowledge to avoid fucking up my own body out of negligence or stupidity.
But when it comes to computers this is asking too much, apparently.
That was before he accidentally stumbled into the goldmine that was iOS (remember he didn't want to allow any apps at all at first) and his earlier arguments were made moot by a tsunami of cash.
Oh I had no idea, with all the PalmOS and WinMo devices that let you develop and install whatever you wanted, available for purchase unlocked and unbranded.
Jailbreaking's not the same thing. You're still limited to the proprietary OS on the device, and have to build applications for that OS instead of just installing an existing OS with an existing wide selection of apps.
In the future notaries will run on a darknet-like system, making IP-specific interception and identification impossible. Convergence already offers this capability.

We don't all live in NYC or SF.

You're right, but what options does he have? Almost all companies operate at the same 'pace' these days.
You can start your own company and then try to compete with the others that treat employees as consumables...

I have a boat B-)
I have to unroll it and inflate it, but then I'll be on a boat BITCH!
Apparently they only do this if you sign up for their tracking service:

The OS does this by default. Explain?
I hope you're joking.
Haha same here.
I think the GP lives on one of the coasts where renting a shithole apartment costs as much as maintaining a small aircraft.
But if you don't live somewhere insanely expensive, $50k is a pretty damn good year's income, so $150k is pretty damn good for 3 years' income.
If you're making that much, you can retire early, so it all works out!
Hahaha how many mobile OS companies offer this service?

I'll just point out that this is a Japanese Domino's. They may also be "pure fucking evil", but the evil will have a different flavor, I'm sure.
More effeminate, more likely to carry a giant sword and prone to long monologues about the human condition, I'd guess.
