Pretty much any phone is only defined by whether its based of the CDMA type techs or the GSM type techs, and regardless of who the carrier is, the phone will work. The thing is salespeople have been trained for years to rebut requests to do so with lines concerning it being "unsupported" or to just simply start with "its not a phone for our network". On the CDMA side of things a least, if you have the lock codes, you can activate it anywhere. I do not know GSM too well myself, but i believe billing and account compatibility is all in the Sim CARD is it, which is standardized across all GSM phones?
Why are we praising them for announcing what is open, when the reason no one knew before was their deceitful practices?
Seems to me to be mostly the importance of propagating your brands presence, getting your damned logos into peoples brains as common coin.
I wonder how many kilowatt hours of processor energy get wasted on this effort entirely to have a spare splash-screen reminder to customers of what they've bought.
I think what he is saying is that eating only corn flakes would be asituation that has 100% certainty of being a "Bad Idea" wheras on the vaccination side of things there may be enough uncertainty to make it more of a choice.
I disagree with that choice myself, but I also could have been a proponent for Phrenology back in the day for all i know (IE: given only the data available back in the day).
what's the real difference between DRM and exotic file format? A patent. Seeing as all most DRM is really is an exotic file format that its purportedly illegal to reverse engineer.
Actually, when you look at the demographics, the education department is even scarier and has been so for far longer than bushes administration.
Consider Woodrow Wilsons quote concerning education:
We want one class to have a liberal education. We want another class, a very much larger class of necessity, to forego the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks. (source)
Then think about what this implies. Then think about what you know of the average amount of motivation and creativity involved in the average General or College Prep level high school classes.
They did a pretty good job setting up what they wanted eh?
Careful, your chill pill will be countered by his get off my lawn. Maybe if you play a take it easy gramps, he wont have to bust out the cane shaking of ultimate exasperation.

Um, leave out nazi's and godwin isnt involved and the arguments are still extremely valid. Laws are created by those in positions of influence, and sometimes this is good. Sometimes not.
Slavery is a very good example of lawmakers making unjust, immoral laws. However, if you need to feel better about something, you can keep in mind that this argument makes it such that I cant be so smug about 1812 anymore either (the old "get your country legally" rant =).
Actually, as a canadian i would have modded it flamebait as well as its inaccurate. Is it also a crime that the same toys in say, Uzbekistan would be selling for fractions of either? All this means is that currently the canadian market has a greater money supply versus cost of living than in the US currently. AND those dollars are currently valued higher when compared. I'd take pride in that rather than bitching.
And if you think spending your cash in the US for the lower prices is the logical conclusion, remember whose bottom line those dollars end up helping (hint: Not canadas). Not saying I wouldn't do so myself, but don't think its somehow "gonna show them" when the ones benefiting are already multinational.
I dont know how you got modded insightful, its pretty clear that the parent was not concerned with the fact that it is so large, but that the size infers a lot about the magnitude of changes.
I think he is more questioning how much of these changes are rollbacks to the "old way" of doing things rather than "the way would thought would be good enough". If not, well that would be my question =).
I'd be interested to see a slashdot week where all of a sudden posts could only be modded up instead of up or down. Modding against opinions pretty much makes the forum fairly worthless. If you only want to read what you already think, Find an outlet that caters to your views and avoid the commentary entirely.
Reffering to those who mod down an excellent point, of course. The fact that people have slowly warped racism to mean referring to any detail beyond the scope that someone is human from planet earth. The fact that a German software engineer ousted a code-breaking machine formerly used against the Germans IS a noteworthy point, whether from a humour or a turnabout kind of standpoint. Where the hell is the racism involved? There isn't even a generalization involved since the entire issue focuses on an individual not a categorization of individuals. If I were this touchy, I'd have had to tell off all my friends for the cutesy canuck jokes =)
although i do like maple syrup. BUT DONT YOU DARE COMMENT ON THE FACT OR I WILL GET SO MAD.

I don't see what all the fuss is, i guess the new system will emit less heat, but i don't see this having a negative impact on Reading.

BRIAN: Eh.
CENTURION: Nominative?

CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times.
BRIAN: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
CENTURION: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
BRIAN: Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar and everything, sir! Oh. Mmm!
You mean they will incurr expenses above and beyond the interest they make off the funds they already have?

Tse Tse flies.

Ding ding, except a tiny nitpick point.
EVDO is based from CDMA (1X etc etc), so it'd just be an MSID or ESN.
