Is there a statistic of how many iPhone (l)users were on the dating site versus the others? That seems far more indicative to whom gets laid the most, after all, if you're getting any you wouldn't be on a dating site...
A ram disk was a mounted filesystem that existed solely in Memory, AmigaOS always mounted this when powering up, you'll always see a 'Ram Disk' icon on Workbench. You also had ways to do this on DOS (and windows), and off course linux has things like ramfs.
Well it depends on whom you believe, the person stating he was issuing threats also said he mailed them daily, it doesn't take a math genius to know that 132 mails over 5 years isn't daily...
They (the city office) also claim they had to assign a person full time (that 38 hours per week) to the task of answering the emails.
The only factual information that the article contains is the sentence, the period over what time frame the mails were sent & the total number of mails, it's plain to see someone is exaggerating here
There are a lot more articles concerning the case, the background and the current situation (it's still being fought out in courts)
I use the 'Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic'licence, as this one corresponds to my wishes, i do not consider someone posting my work on a blog commercial use.
I don't mind as long as they do not alter the images & site the source, using them on a site that's driven by ad revenue doesn't bother me, what does bother me is if someone claims my work as their own, or if they (try to) sell it, but that's just me i guess
The thing is, i love gadgets, and i really want to like the iPad, but so far it's more like a very limited smart phone with a big screen, i could use it to manage my inventory (dvd's, cd's, comics,...), but it has no way of scanning barcodes, i'd love to use it as a portable device to take with me if i have to give a presentation but it has no connectivity whatsoever, i could use it as a portable movie player, but it has no storage connectivity or slots, the battery autonomy is too limited to use it as an eBook Reader, and for mail and internet it has pretty much the same problem as my phone, no real tactile keyboard (although i suppose i could use a BT keyboard, but it would've been nicer if the keyboard was integrated into the machine with a foldout mechanism or something),...
The concept of a tablet isn't the problem, the limitations of this tablet for me are, i just don't get all the fuss about it (or Apple in general)
I check my mails on my Android phone or on one of my computers, my TV *IS* a computer (or better said, i have a tv-tuner card plugged into a PC), the only thing i could use the iPad for would be to read the news on the can.... That's the only thing i've come up with ever since it came out
You can't fight blind faith with anything, you can't use fallacies in their own bibles, you can't use logic, you can't use science and you damned well can't educate them, people will go to enormous lengths to protect their core beliefs no matter how stupid, irrational or illogical they might be, it's in their genes, and worst of all, it seems to be an evolutionary trait.
Consider it for a while. Unhealthy spirituality leads to things like discomfiture when faced with sexuality.
You realize you're posting on slashdot right? Besides, i do not believe in a soul or 'spiritual energy', nor do i believe that there is a purpose to life other then the one i define for myself. Your personality, emotions, desires, they all come from the brain, which in effect is the way it is because of genetics (and the occasional brute force trauma), if you realize that, and accept it, life is a lot simpler.

Hell, you can even buy unlocked phones in Europe, imagine that! ;)
Do what i do, don't buy them
I can think of a few reasons:
That's a stupid reason, grow a god damn backbone.
If your friends kill themselves, wil you too?
You need to feel like you are part of an "in" crowd.
Even more ridiculous, only feeble minded people buy for that reason, and those people tend to be idiots.
The others are more or less valid, but still make it seem like a crappy platform

This is nothing more that a stupid advertisement for an iPhone, for christ's sake it's just a bloody tool.

In Belgium someone was tried & convicted for stalking a city office because he kept mailing them....
The guy dared send them 130 or so mails over a period of 5 years, the bloody criminal!

Ahem... "SIM cards disable that setting" It's more of an issue with the operators....

Well i'd say 'good for my wallet' ;)

Really? Still haven't come up with anything that an iPad would allow me to do that i can't already do
I haven't found the one on my HTC Legend yet...

And Discworld.
Atheism is a religion just like not collecting stamps is a hobby
Proving once again that lawyers are at the top of the evolutionary food chain.
The stupidity shown in that video makes me fear the future....
... as we drag ourselves slowly towards a new dark age where religion once again oppresses knowledge
Try turning on the monitors
We cannot condone bouncing of the seventh variety.
