By "a phone like these" do you mean the iPhone, or smart phones in general?
I mean iPhones, Android phones, etc. Anything with large/touch screens. Yeah, some people use them for work...but the vast majority buy them for entertainment. (Blackberries I guess would be a major exception because of all the business use.)
You can use it on T-Mobile, but the 3G is a different frequency from ATT to TMobile, and thus not supported. So you'd only get 2G speeds with the internet. Which let's face it, thats the whole reason for a phone like these anyhow.
He tried returning it to Apple, but it is not Apples phone anyway, it's Gray Powell's phone.
So you consider a prototype, that an engineer for a company is using for testing and development purposes to not belong to the company? Even though I would guarantee it was ISSUED to him, for testing purposes? I doubt if it was GIVEN to him for his own personal use, and to keep as his own property. IMO the phone was being used by Gray, but belonged to Apple. Just like your computer at work is the property of the company, but is issued to you for your use.
Actually, the last time I accidentally went swimming with my phone in my pocket the exact opposite happened. Every function of the cell phone still worked, except the ability to use the network. Phone and Data no longer worked. The shitty thing was, right after I got out of the water and noticed, it still worked. For an hour or so while it was still wet everything worked. The next morning after I had let it dry out with the battery and sim/microSD card and battery cover off, the network didn't work. It would show full signal if I didn't have the SIM card in it, but if I put the SIM card, no signal.:(
Really, it's a better idea IMO to use a 3rd party email service. Either a paid service, or a free one such as gmail/hotmail/yahoo. This way if you move, change ISPs for whatever reason, no longer need the ISP etc, you don't lose your email address. I've had my gMail account since it was invite only beta like 5 years ago. In that time I've moved and cancelled / signed-up for ISPs probably 6-7 times.
That would be a really neat idea. Just put 2 WiFi cards in it. One set up to be an Access point, the other to connect to a wireless network.
http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-32-guruplug-server-plus.aspx This looks like it could fit the bill. Would just have to hack it up a bit to take the cars 12v instead of a home 120vAC. Or I guess a DC->AC Converter. Slap a pair of WiFi USB connectors, and a eSATA drive. Good to Go.
Meh. Bullshit excuse IMO. My work has a 90 Expire policy for us who work on the shop floor. I dunno what it is for the people who use it every day.
I have a 4 password rotation.
[password]!
![password]
[password]*
*[password]
Pick a password, and a special character modifier and you have your good password, and can change it every 30 days or whatever your policy requires.
I posted this above too, so I'll just copy and paste it here:
I actually saw on some gadget show a few years back the idea of having a Bar Code scanner on microwaves, and ovens and what not. The idea was to have a central database it could pull up after you scan the product, and know exactly how to prepare it. Just scan the box, put it in, and hit cook or whatever.
That to me, seemed like a good idea. Though I never saw it come to fruition.
I guess more useful for people who don't cook, and would rather eat microwavable / frozen entrees.... Like College kids...who on a side note don't have money for such gadgets....

http://pcwizcomputer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=75&Itemid=45 You can give that link a try. pcwiz does some good stuff within the OSx86 community. I'm not sure if he's gotten Snow Leopard running, but I've seen Leopard running inside VMware. There's also a VMWare image you might still be able to find on torrent sites, so you don't have to actually do the install. Not sure if it's still around though.
I could never get it installed on my computer. Both Win 7 and Vista freeze for some reason at the completing install phase. Could leave it set for hours and come back with no further progress. Tried both 64 and 32bit flavors. Single partition with a single hard drive in the computer. SATA and IDE Hard Drives. Install from a SATA DVD drive, and also from a USB Thumb drive. Nothing ever worked.
I work for Siemens Energy and Automation. Mechanical work. Our current policy is to hire all employees through a temp service, through which they must complete 90 days before being considered for permanent employment. This works out in the companies advantage because they basically have 90 days no obligation, or responsibility if some one gets hurt to the employee. They can dismiss them at any point they feel necessary. It also let's you really see how the employee works on a day to day basis, not just an interview or the first week or 2.
Sucks for the employees though. At least 90days of no benefits, paid holidays, or vacation time.
Agreed 100%. The United States law system has become nothing more than voting in favor of big companies. "Donations" and "Contributions" to the political parties, and people in power should just not be allowed. It's supposed to be a Government for the people, by the people. Not for big business, by big business because they made a $400 million "campaign contribution". The fundamental principals of the founding fathers are not being upheld, so that corporations can make a few extra bucks. It's just not right.
I work for Siemens, with Winergy being a subsidiary of us. They build the gear multiplier that sits behind the blades and drives the generator. It alone weighs in at 32,000 lbs or around there. This is a 1.5 Megawatt box too. The 3.5s that they're getting ready to start building are even heavier. Heh.
The only sensible way to approach health care is to understand that we have created cures and treatments that we cannot afford, and the only way to have health care for everyone is to not have those treatments.
Or not allow the companies doing drug research and producing them charge out the ass. The other day I my daughter was prescribed an anti-fungal creme for a rash she had. For the 2oz tube it cost me $50. Insurance wouldn't cover it and I paid for it out of my pocket. $50 for 2oz of a 1% dilution creme is REDICULOUS. Obviously I care for my daughter and got it for her anyhow, but I don't think it was resonable.

is the link that I get as search result number 8. Same for your 5th? While the suppliers listed on that site happen to be located in china, they are all actually Hardwood floor suppliers, with actual products you can buy. I would say that is relevant to the search IMO. The shopping method used is a bit different than Amazon or anything like that, but you're able to buy from them none the less?
If it's not the same for you, what was your Global Sources link?
Exactly. I'm taking the Mac beta for a test run as we speak. Some of the stuff is obviously still missing as noted in the recent article here a few days back.
It works fairly well, and I look forward to replacing firefox with it.

And its either 10, 100, or 1000Mbit ethernet. 250 > 100.

In this video At about 1:30. Apparently they were the first to put parental controls?

So, now I run OS X, because it "Just Works".
The php.net documentation for PHP is amazing.

I'm not old at all, and I found it hilarious :D

I was just gonna look. I didn't really intend to do anything. I thought they were 14...
Well you should be glad that other people didn't recieve your paycheck. That would be a disaster!
