I went out to Sikkim for the first week, closer in geography to Colorado than NYC (or the rest of India). I don't think I ever lost cell reception once. We're talking about an area that is about as densely populated as farm towns in the Midwest. I was standing on top of a mountain and could get 4 networks. 4. Vodaphone, Airtel, Aircel and some other local one. I got better reception at the top of the mountain that I can get at my own house in a subdivision (I don't live in the sticks).
Have you ever stopped to think that it was the fact that you were at the top of a mountain in an uncrowded area that made reception so great?
So I can go ahead and expect to stop receiving e-mails on my BlackBerry on Friday? Great, yeah, sweet. Thanks guys!
I don't see what the weekly blackberry fuckups have to do with this story, other than the fact that you happen to know in advance when your blackberry will fuck up this time.
My current phone is 2.5 years old, and I want to upgrade, but I'd need to buy an unlocked phone I can simply swap SIMs with, otherwise they'll force me to "upgrade" my contract to something that costs about $30 more per month for less (caps, no tethering, etc., which are currently NOT specified in my contract).
Switching away from AT&T would result in similar prices.
AT&T's network is fucked over more than usual, and some people die because they couldn't make 911 calls. What, you thought taking down the data connection would have no effect on voice? HA!
Hey moron, everything you said is completely illogical and wrong.
Do you think a programmer would be happy if you steal his code?
Do you think an artist would be happy if you steal his painting? Or a copy of it?
Do you think an author would be happy if you steal his book? Or a copy of it?
Do you think anyone would be happy if you benefitted from their labors for free against their will, regardless of the content?
The effect of something not being there any more? You mean like the money you would have paid for their code. "I wouldn't have bought it if I had to pay" ? Then sit down, shut up, and don't steal OR buy that code.
There IS a basic right to not have your shit stolen. There IS copyright. They exist for a reason. There IS a loss involved in you stealing someone's code. If you claim you would not have used it otherwise, then that's fine, go ahead and don't use it. But competing products are developed all the time with stolen code, the millions of cracked Windows installations put strain on the MS update servers, the millions of stolen copies of photoshop and flash have made content that has earned gobs of money.
If you think stealing someone's code doesn't hurt them because they didn't LOSE anything, then how the FUCK would you feel if you worked for a month and didn't get a paycheck? You didn't LOSE anything, moron.
You are a fucking idiot and I hope you make something one day and it gets stolen and you die of AIDS.
It's read as "Product A Prime", meaning it's a variant of Product A. You can charge for the "Prime" - the minor differences in the product itself, the cost to develop, advertise, and support it for a new market, etc.
The analogy fails in several ways. First: Your house usually contains private stuff. Going to someone's house is more like breaking into his computer.
Private stuff? It's merely the product of his labors, as is code to a programmer. Why is there a distinction between private and non-private "stuff" anyway?
Second: If you take something away, it's not there any more.
Oh fuck off with your "it's not theft" bullshit. Thievery has been around longer than the conscious sharing of information. If you want to make up a new term to fellate yourself to, go ahead, but the end result is the fucking same.
You directly damage people by copying their code without paying them for it. It is a real, tangible effect.
And the argument that some people do something for a living doesn't tell you anything about if that should be legal. In the times of slavery, some people were trading slaves for a living. Professional killers kill for a living. By your logic, slavery and killing should be legal.
What the FUCK are you talking about? You just compared closed source code and IP law to slavery and homicide, and you called MY analogy a failure?
It has to exceed design load before the FAA will even let it fly, it's passed the design load, and they're expecting to test to ultimate load in the spring.
Careful. I think there's already a movie named that.
Boeing can demonstrate that the plane is safe, but they can't prove it.
And an "international consensus" of scientists can demonstrate that the planet is warming, no - cooling!, no - changing!, and that it's our fault, and that polar bears will die, and that I have to give their politicians of choice money.
But they can't prove it.
Oh wait, they don't need to prove it, all they need to do is lie and said they proved it.
I want to have a filter eat nagios messages and kill ones when a CRITICAL and a RECOVERY come in within a minute of each other during certain hours of the night.
'If Microsoft had Google’s market share in search, is there any doubt that they’d be systematically demoting or even banning their competitors in the search results? Demoting someone in Google is a virtual death sentence, and yet not only has Google never been accused of using this vast power, the idea itself is almost unimaginable.'
Google has been accused of it, has done it, and no, it's not unimaginable.
I see you have taken Economics 101. I raise you common sense and logic.
Product A should sell for Price X to Customer 1 and Customer 2, to Market Red and Market Blue.
If you're selling Product A', you can charge for the '. Be it added features, marketing, etc.
Anything else is gouging.
Of course, people will bend over and take it up the ass as always. I can't vote with my fucking wallet, because there are a million other wallets who can't keep their flaps closed.
I agree. These security vulnerabilities appear to be a weekly occurrence. Anyone that hasn't disabled Javascript in Reader/Acrobat at this point either doesn't care about the numerous vulnerabilities or doesn't understand the risks involved.
I agree. These security vulnerabilities appear to be a daily occurrence. Anyone that hasn't disabled Javascript, Acrobat/Adobe Reader, Flash, Quicktime, Java, etc. at this point either doesn't care about the numerous vulnerabilities or doesn't understand the risks involved.

The public as a whole, no. The hordes who run the fuck away from AT&T when they don't hold up their end of the contract...?
As long as AT&T has the iPhone, the mindless hordes will stay. They will stay and bitch and moan.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.

"'" is a common notation for "prime".

Fuck off you worthless piece of shit.
And no, we don't need to respect closed source
Why not? Because you don't want to?
Fuck you.
People write closed source code for a living. It is a real, tangible product with real, tangible costs.
How about I go to your house and just take what I want?
Oh how I miss the days of being able to compare Presidents to monkeys and chimps.
And they could save even more if they just buzzed the ground instead of flying thousands of feet up!

Uh, I better look in the manual.
Oh, the ignorance. ...
This book must be out of date: I don't see "Prussia", "Siam", or "autogyro".
Well, keep looking!

With the loss of New York as a financial center and the US dollar as the global reserve currency, the global economic system would collapse overnight.
I got some news for you, dude...
I've responded to several people who brought it up.
"Allowed" as in it was from our list, no other group had done it, it wasn't too short or too long.
His group was one of the last (if not the last) to present.
There is at present no way to contact the individual nor official word on why he was detained.
He should have kept one of the phones or laptops for himself.
Oops.
