Stick? What stick? What article/summary were you reading? If the drive was encrypted, he would not have needed to swallow it in the first place. He probably just panicked and made a failed attempt at being stealthy anyhow.
i suppose i dont know how netflix sends to PS3 and XBox. All I know is I cant make it work on Wii or Linux without virtualization or forwarding video from a Windows box. if im just missing a great workaround, id love to hear about it.
I should hope that an iPhone app would mean that the streaming would not take place over silverlight. If that's true, there's a much better chance that an app that emulates the protocol can be written for things like Linux (Including Maemo) and Android. If they could just bring back streaming over Flash (or add streaming over HTML 5), then it would be much more trivial to grant support for all these other platforms.
Wait a minute...Am I allowed to write off my FOSS development as a charitable donation on my taxes? Am I allowed to charge the $50 an hour I think I'm worth? I'm sure this has been asked before, but it's the first I've ever actually thought about it...
I wish all product death-rattles involved open-sourcing. I still can't play The Software Toolworks' "Life & Death" because I can't find the instruction manual with the damned copy protection codes!
You're making a semantic argument. Go grind a composite material with a sanding block. As long as the block is flat and held level, the entire substance is ground flat evenly, regardless of relative hardness ratings within the composite. Nothing "raised well above".
Your terms are off. It's not an urban legend or a myth. It's a misconception that they are currently a monopoly. But it is entirely true that in the past, they were not permitted to operate in countries, including the US, due to monopolistic practices.
All true. But the touchscreen is fragile as hell. You really shouldn't mimic the open-faced iPhone design unless you've got a reinforced glass screen. Oh well. My protective case is being shipped, and I'll probably send in my phone (with the mysterious hole that appeared on the first day of ownership) to be fixed sooner or later.
I think it's more of a common innacuracy than anything. The GSM standard is now maintained by 3GPP, and 3GPP developed the UMTS standard, based to some extent on the GSM architecture. So people presume 3G GSM is a valid way to distinguish the technology as separate from the CDMA2000 3G technology. I don't know about other countries, but in the US, "UMTS" and "3GPP" are not well known terms to consumers, but "GSM" and "3G" are.

Ah well, I dream with fingers crossed.
which would be great for trash-talking in LAN parties. "Aww snap! My GRANDMA'S box is better than yours! She runs Ubuntu!"
What an odd poem...

Thanks, that did help explain things. I'm impressed, I'm not used to open-ended questions posted to Slashdot actually getting answered.

If Youtube has taught me anything, T-Pain was the first to have a boat.
I think you read GP wrong. Wirepulls don't need any impedance rating...
they frced to kill there own babbies! I red it on teh news the othr day!

But it wasn't a rock....it was a rock LOBSTER!!!
Well duh. But that explanation doesn't fit to the tune of "Blame Canada" from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut nearly as well.

Should we blame Nokia? Should we blame the telcos? Or should we blame the standards organization, ISO? NO! Blame Canada! Blame Canada! (and so on)
It's not a computer unless you can use it in a car simile.
And since it doesn't loose suction, and there are no bags to replace, cleaning has never been easier!
Didn't you see Independence Day? Aliens are Macintosh compatible!

And your contribution to Muphry's Law [sic] makes me giggle.

3G GSM is frequently used interchangeably to refer to 3GPP implementation of 3G, which is UMTS.
