Want to know WHY the Closed source drivers are better?
Closed source driver programmers get the full specs and all details of the hardware including several hardware samples in a test jig setup.
Open source driver programmers get NOTHING. they have to go out and buy the hardware, then buy equipment to reverse engineer it, spend months poking at it trying to figure out how it's supposed to work and then write a driver based on those assumptions.
IT does not have to be that way, it's just that hardware makers really enjoy being raging assholes and intentionally go out of their way to screw with Open Source developers because it's how they get their kicks and gives them something to brag about at parties. There is no legitimate reason for holding back the full hardware interface documentation. NONE.
$25.00 is less than $40.00 you must not have looked very hard, that was my first hit on amazon.com. I have seen them for $9.95 for generic usb-> phone interfaces that work under linux and windows.
Wow, your boss is pretty dumb. Why the hell would he buy those for the office? is he that clueless or cheap?
Let me guess, none of you have laptops, everyone is using the cheapest netbooks he can find, you all have card tables for desks, and the pens and paper you have all have different hotel names on them.
only a complete idiot would use magicjacks for business.
The hardware is NOT great stuff. It's a cheap china usb soundcard -> Phone interface. Granted you cant screw that up too badly, but it's not cisco enterprise quality Voip hardware.. it's very low cost consumer hardware.
Problem is that it's really low grade service with a low grade hardware. you NEED a computer, you NEED broadband. Skype does this with an even better hardware base and allows you to skype in and out with local numbers. I have yet to see magicjack offer local numbers in many towns. Plus there are tons of reports all over the internet of it hanging up on calls constantly and a lot of other problems.
I guess if you want ATT wireless quality of service for your home phone, it's a great device. but I know what VoIP is like and Magicjack is not it.
Consumer Reports is not what it used to be, I'd not use them as a yardstick that is still accurate.
Throwing soda cans in the trash instead of recycling is naughty, although its effect on the public is mostly harmless.
um no it's not. almost ALL trash companies have separation equipment to pull out metals and plastics from the waste stream so they can get the money from it.
Recycling at the curb is a waste of time, they have trash sorting that ALL TRASH goes through that does it automatically. Curbside recycling is more of a make greenies feel good thing.
And yet these executives will get nothing. Honestly, if you are a executive and cause a major problem, you get to be beheaded or crucified in public. It's the price you take for getting obscene pay and bonus packages.
I personally think the AIG and bank execs should have been put feet first into wood-chippers alive for what those scumbags did and are still doing.
but then I'm a pacificist... so I tend to err on the side of being nice.
Exactly and having a website on the internet is like not even having a door or even a house. It was all spread on the lawn for everyone to stop and see.
Yup and Symbian phones have been able to for a long time as well. I just upgraded my wifes Nokia 3800's OS and app package. it even flashed a new firmware to the Radiomodem.
Kind of. google could have forced all phone makers to adhere to a specific set of standards or they cant use the google apps or the Android name or even the graphics on the UI.
And if the world of ATSC, they COULD have every NBC affiliate showing the main event in HD and the other 3 side-channels showing lesser events so you can switch between them.
but no, I get the shitty weather radar on one, a never ending run of crap on the other and the third simply shows the station ID all the time.
It dont matter, I really hope this blogger has a lot of cash because this is a case that needs to be tested.
Copyright law says anything I film with MY camera is my property. I own copyright to it. If I am at a event and I film something it's mine NOT the event organizers.
This really needs to be tested, a LOT of photographers and videographers would love to have the scumbag tactics of many events trying to blanket claim copyright on everything within a geographic boundary.
The Olympics have been nothing but a greed fest for the past 30 years.
Or the cost of replacing the catalyst plates regularly. These are not forever without maintenance boxes... I know how they work and you need to replace the membranes regularly.. University of Michigan has one installed at the lakeshore facility around here. they stopped running it because of the maintenance costs. The Natural gas turbine, windmills and solar panel covered roof generates enough power for the facility right now.
Only the raging idiots here knock and dog on Canadian health-care.
The rationing in the USA health-care is 2X as much as Canada. I can not walk into a doctors office and DEMAND instant care, I have to make appointments most of the time weeks in advance. I cant get instant care at a hospital either, I have to wait until they have an opening, sometimes it's weeks before they can see me.
Only a raging idiot thinks the USA does not have health-care rationing.
Please re-read that last line, you seemed to have missed it on the first post.
Here are some more data points. 4 years ago I had the tip of my finger cut off. I had high paying insurance then and CASH IN HAND, and this was one of the highest rated hospitals in Michigan.
I had the exact same waits as you. I passed out twice in the ER waiting room due to low blood pressure. when I finally got to a room I had to lay there for 1.5 hours before they looked at me. at least my hand was soaking in a bowl of some red substance. total time. Cut finger off at 10:20am checked out of hospital at 2:20am the next day.
I absolutely agree. too many times Judges make decisions based on information that is highly flawed or even obfuscated to them. An eloquent writer is needed to clearly and directly inform a judge as to the technical details and ideas involved.
Two of my personal "tech heros" are Bruce Perens and Richard Stallman. From all writings I have read from both, and they have been many, I certainly would pick Bruce to write something to a judge over Richard. It's not just the content but how it's packaged.
Most programmers are essentially mute, or spew forth a strange alien language to the uninitiated. Judges need a translator, a person that has a foot in BOTH WORLDS to translate and educate them. The same as most Techies need someone to translate and educate what comes from these strange lawyer and judge creatures....
Logic has no place in Law, and that is something that blows the mind of almost every programmer that has rubbed up against it. Just ask guys like Steve Gibson. He has lost court cases that should have been easy logical wins.

HUH? cheapest?

Why.. get some real SIP hardware for the same price.
all it is is a usb soundcard that interfaces to a telephone.

your dad could have downloaded skype for free and gotten better service for free instead.

you are correct.
worthless junk is a far better phrase that is suited for Magic Jack
sounds like a plan, will you gladly accept a 400% price hike in your electrical power rates to cover the retrofit costs?

I'm sorry, did you miss the part in what I said??

Sorry, but currently in the USA, we have a huge propaganda campaign going that says you all are socialists with socials medicine...
oh and you all are ready to come and eat all our children. CANADIAN ZOMBIES!!!!
Well the last part is not true, but I can't explain the stuff you call Poutine.

This is normal for ANY hospital in the USA.
Press and hold down 9. this typically dials 911 for you. it has been standard in Nokia and Motorola phones for decades.
I'm betting that if you read the manual you would have spotted this gem in the documentation.
You haven't dug into it... Get the source and start the groan-fest. Hell there are parts of the Android UI that absolutely blow chunks.
It's not all roses and puppies behind the curtain.
