I'd rather have a phone with a really kick-ass internet browser. WAP doesn't do anything for me.
Nokias (and probably all modern Symbians) ship with Opera Mobile, aint that kick ass enough ?
I pay $3 per Mb once I go over my first Mb so it's worthwhile buying a usb bluetooth hub and carry round the drivers on a 3" cd rom / usb stick so you can co-op connected PCs you encounter:)

Twenty-eight states filed suit Tuesday against the five biggest record companies and two music retailing giants, accusing them of conspiring to fix CD prices.
"This illegal action by record companies and retailers has not been music to the ears of the public," New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said in a statement. "Because of these conspiracies, tens of millions of consumers paid inflated prices to buy CDs of artists including Santana, Whitney Houston, Madonna, and Eric Clapton."

EU opens online music probe
Mario Monti: 'A number of issues merit close attention' The European Competition Commission has decided to investigate two online music ventures, set up by leading players in the music industry.
The two ventures being probed are MusicNet - to be launched later this year by AOL Time Warner, Bertelsmann and EMI - and a service formerly known as Duet.
Duet is a collaboration between 0Vivendi Universal and Sony, and was renamed Pressplay on Monday.
AOL Time Warner and Vivendi Universal have been charged by the US Federal Trade Commission with conspiring to fix prices of audio and video recordings of concerts by the Three Tenors.
AOL has reached a settlement with the FTC, while the case against Vivendi will be the subject of a hearing, the US regulator said.
You know, there are more than 3 operating systems and of them, gasp, were written from scatch.
The future of OpenSource is not "at stake".
Mplayer is not entirely opensource [sic]
What's to stop other litigous bastards grabbing some opensource code and sticking it into a version of their software then claiming that they wrote all the code? Nothing, whats to stop me scooping up a dog turd, plonking it on your dorstep and saying 'I pooped this?'
one can load one's passwords into a text editor and add/remove them in secstore
or do echo 'key proto=vnc server=kit user=matt !password=SECRET2' >/mnt/factotum/ctl
if they key is not present, factotum prompts you for it and remembers it while you are logged into the terminal
When you log out factotum forgets all the entries not in secstore
It's a great system, I just enter my secstore password at boot and I have passwordless access to the services I have stored.
though one tends to just hit power when you go to lunch you can just do 'kill factotum | rc' to unload all the keys and then 'ipso factoum' to load them from secstore again (i think thats how you unload them, i've never done it)
servers need not know anything about it, no.NET libs to compile against or licensing fees to pay
This program could be devastating for a small time organization trying out the ad system provided as a single run could quickly bust the advertisement budget
There is a reason you set your maximum spend budget in the adwords settings before you go live.

Lease the man your fishing grounds and you have a residual income that reduces your exposure.

why on earth would I need one of those, i use an operating system

Music giants face price-fix charge

for plan9 the 5s is for a cpu server from power to accepting jobs via the network
/dev/reboot'
so (with the appropriate permissions) one can do
#!/bin/rc
fn do_job {
cpu -h $1 -c 'echo reboot >
cpu -h $1 -c 'do_something'
}
for(cpu in cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 cpu4 cpu5) {
do_job $cpu &
}
and your do_something jobs are running cleanly booted cpu server which is considered important in some circles
Betamax disappeared
s/disappeared/went on to dominate the tv video camera and edit suite market/

I don't think computers will ever be the same once SVG takes off.
you mean computers *are* the same already !
I wish the /. community would update their knowledge accordingly.
How do you expect me to keep up with file formats I can't use because they are only implemented on two platforms, both of which are unfree ?
Macromedia Flash Player Download Center
We are unable to locate a single Web player that best matches your platform and operating system.
FYI IAAN
If you knew how to use a dictionary you would know that licence is a noun and license is a verb.
One would license you and issue you with a licence to produce on demand.
Thus one is licensed when one can produce a licence.
Get it yet?
In that case, someone needs to tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
newsflash - they are suing IBM
IBM are just slightly bigger than SCO

calm down son, it's not worth the stress.
It's licensed
jesus fucking h christ, it's in the story title fucknuts
come off it, thats for normals
My home page is the custom script that displays the various status of my servers
I've got
My browser very rarely gets closed as I have it on a vnc session
I got a free copy of dragon dictate once so I trained it as much as possible.
I got mozilla working quite happily, 'down' 'up' 'slow' (that was a good one, it slowly scrolled down), 'back' etc.etc.
the thing I found after weeks of training that it was just so tiring talking all the time
here's Glenda's
/mnt/factotum/ctl
.NET libs to compile against or licensing fees to pay
In plan9's the single sign on is a bit different as it can save credentials for your regular internet services such as ftp, ssh, vnc, pop3, imap
secstore is an encrypted file store, one of which is your factotum keys
here's some example keys (SECRET is where my password would be):
key proto=pass server=www service=ftp user=matt !password=SECRET
key proto=p9sk1 dom=outside.plan9.bell-labs.com user=mattp9 !password=SECRET
key proto=pass server=colo service=ssh user=matt !password=SECRET
key proto=vnc server=kit user=matt !password=SECRET
one can load one's passwords into a text editor and add/remove them in secstore
or do echo 'key proto=vnc server=kit user=matt !password=SECRET2' >
if they key is not present, factotum prompts you for it and remembers it while you are logged into the terminal
When you log out factotum forgets all the entries not in secstore
It's a great system, I just enter my secstore password at boot and I have passwordless access to the services I have stored.
though one tends to just hit power when you go to lunch you can just do 'kill factotum | rc' to unload all the keys and then 'ipso factoum' to load them from secstore again (i think thats how you unload them, i've never done it)
servers need not know anything about it, no
perhaps its a language thing
if would set the spend to 30 dollars and see how it goes.
I got the idea that the parent suggested run-away unbound spending
id you try it in a virtualized system?
too much trouble I guess if you have a working version already?
DOS is quite easily emulated on modern speedy processors
This program could be devastating for a small time organization trying out the ad system provided as a single run could quickly bust the advertisement budget
There is a reason you set your maximum spend budget in the adwords settings before you go live.
newsflash - the web isn't a programming platform
have you tried this mythical program in bochs / vmware / other virtualizer ?
are you really so ignorant?
it would take under an hour to write the code
google will even help you
The lay offs at bell-labs have had a massive negative imapact on plan9.
Rob Pike has gone to google for instance
Stories of them taking out 75% of the light bulbs in the labs to save money.
We're down to three devs from the labs working on plan9, mostly in their own time.
So sad, Lucent have bungled it.
