I've been a T-Mobile subscriber for a couple years now (from when they were Voicestream), and I recently decided to replace my aging phone. I wasn't looking for anything too fancy, but did want a phone that had Bluetooth, and could run Java MIDlets. T-Mobile has a deal where if you've had your phone for a while, you can get a new phone for a discount (with the discount varying depending on whether or not you want to extend your contract). I wasn't interested in extending my contract, so I also looked into getting an unlocked phone from someone other than T-Mobile.
In the end, I decided to get a Motorola V195 from T-Mobile, with no contract extension. After I got the phone, I loaded a Java Jabber IM client, since the client that comes with the phone only supports AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo--only to find that the IM client wasn't able to connect to the Internet, despite having the full Internet plan. (I am able to get full access to the Internet from my laptop using GPRS through the phone). After looking around on the web, it turns out that T-Mobile has modified the phone's firmware so that Java MIDlets get a java.lang.SecurityException when attempting to connect to the internet. From what I gather, it's possible to flash the phone with an unrestricted firmware, but I haven't found the details on how to do that, and besides, I shouldn't have to do that. It's my phone, and I'm paying for full internet access--what possible reason is there to keep my phone from accessing the internet?
I've always wondered about using the potential energy of water (that is, raising it to a higher height), to store that energy to smooth out production versus demand issues for electricity.
Does anyone know if this is being done? It seems like it would be more straight forward than the refrigeration method mentioend in the article. Have you considered Reading TFA? (Yeah, I must be new here):
... As a result many renewable-power plants have to store their energy, by raising water to a height or making hydrogen, for example, so they can 'save it for a rainy day'.
This scheme is worthless. Once the user enters his username the bank discloses the picture. There's nothing stopping a phishing site or trojan from immediately using the username to obtain the correct picture and displaying it to the user. IE, the explaining text should say 'if you recognize your SiteKey you still have no idea wether or not it's safe to enter your passcode'.
Whoever thought this up obviously missed a few computer security classes. No, if the user enters his username, but doesn't also supply a cookie (tied to the sitekey.bankofamerica.com domain), it will not disclose the picture, but instead require you to supply the state your account was opened in. If you get that right, it will then ask you a question that's supposed to confirm your identity ("What's the name of your first pet", "Where did your parents get married?"--that type of thing). When you set up your account, you supply the answer to three of those questions, and the system will pick one of them to challenge you with if your the cookie isn't supplied.
In the country I live in DST is on a different date every year,
What country is that? The US, maybe? For example, DST started on April 3 in 2005, but on April 2 in 2006 (and would have started on April 1 this year, if not for this change).
(Tokyo itself is not a city; it's a prefecture made up of a couple dozen wards, one of which is Ginza.)
Prefectures are known in Japanese as ken. Tokyo is not classified as a ken--Tokyo is known in Japanese as a to, which basically translates as metropolis. A metropolis is a large city.
I know I have limited experience with Vista at this point, but using Beta 1 and Beta 2, I never had an issue with Suspend or Hibernation. In fact I used it continually. So my quesiton is... how much of this is simply a BIOS issue and how much is really a Vista issue? Now before you respond...
According to TFA, all of it is a Vista issue. The author notes that sleep worked fine in the betas, but failed on the same hardware in the final. Microsoft has confirmed at least one of the issues is a Vista bug. Please read the article for further information.
Who the hell sends an email that claims to be a reply to itself? Sounds like the type of malformedness you find in spam--who cares?
"... causing me to lose mail for no good reason, knowing about it, and not officially fixing it, is inexcusable." Well good thing they officially fixed it, huh? "... the fix is in the 1.8 branch, in 2.0, and in the nightly builds."
No, the rich elite in Bangkok were sick of the PM elected by the rural majority, because he was taxing them heavily for social services (e.g., 30 baht or approximately US$0.80 to see a doctor). The People love Thaksin, so media magnate Sonthi Limthongkul is going around spreading FUD about the horrible things that'll happen to Thailand if the rural people's voice is heard. Thaksin running the country badly? He seemed to be doing OK--not great, but better than the current jokers, at least. What have these guys been doing for all the flooding? "Sorry, the government can't help you right now... the citizens should help each other!"
As for the King, Thailand is a constitutional monarchy where the King has no actual power. Rumors have it that the Royal Family didn't learn that a coup had actually taken place until after it happened (although of course, they had the feeling that something might be up... but then, so did the average guy on the street).
You don't understand the difference between hardlinks and symlinks. Try again.
And you need to work on your reading comprehension. The AC incorrectly said, "rm the symlink and you don't erase the file it was linking too [sic] (whereas you would if the link was referencing the same inode)." It is not the case the rm-ing a hardlink will erase the file it was linking to. And what's with the qualification of "if the link was referencing the same inode"? Hard links reference the same inode by definition. listen was correcting AC's misconception of hard links; I don't know how you interpreted the post as having anything to do with symlinks. As you admit yourself, listen is correct: "A hardlink has the behavior you describe."
Most of SCO's claims are premised on the allegation that AutoZone is running programs on its Linux servers that include copies of OpenServer libraries. As set forth in more detail in Exhibit A, AutoZone's intention in its migration from OpenServer to Linux was to recompile all of its application programs using a Linux compiler so that none of those programs would contain any OpenServer libraries. (Celmer Deposition 26:5-13, attached hereto as Exhibit C.) AutoZone was surprised to find when it analyzed its servers during discovery that approximately 127 programs existed on its store servers (out of thousands of programs on AutoZone's typical store server) that were compiled under OpenServer and therefore included SCO libraries. (See Letter from David Stewart dated October 27, 2004.) Of these programs only two appear to have been used on any of AutoZone's servers at any time since the migration process was completed: Compx, and Decompx.
If you don't believe they were really running those two OpenServer binaries on Linux, maybe you should let the judge know.
So how's that different from Firefox? Firefox has the official-use logo (fox humping the Earth), and the open-use logo (Earth unmolested by giant wildlife). So Debian complains about the Firefox logo policy, when they have the same policy themselves? PKB.
And yes, I know of FreeBSD's support for running System V binaries, and it more often than not doesn't work. When it does work, often only with statically linked binaries, it's not always very stable.
So use some other OS's support for running System V binaries. Linux or NetBSD, for example. In fact, didn't SCO sue AutoZone for switching to Linux and running their Unixware apps under binary compatibility? AutoZone actually did recompile most of their apps instead of running them using binary compatibility, but they accidentally missed two of them and were using the compatibility for those. It apparently worked well enough that AutoZone didn't realize they weren't native Linux binaries until the lawsuit forced them to check their servers.
Now, quick question, when did I use the word 'unintentionally' in my post, as you seem to be implying?
Well, you never explicitly used the word, but the first sentence of your post is, "He committed no intentional crime," which implies you think he did it unintentionally. Lots of implications going around here, huh?
Nope! The "Safari libraries" that the post you replied to is referring to is the WebKit framework/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework. Removing/Applications/Safari removes Safari, just like removing C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer removes IE. However, the actual code that implements HTML rendering is still around, just like \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SHDOCVW.DLL and friends stick around on Windows. If you remove WebKit.framework, a bunch of apps quit working, both apps that come with OSX, such as Dashboard, Mail, and obviously Safari; and third party apps, such as OmniWeb and BBEdit.
Right, and that's exactly what I stated - there are no 1080p CRT televisions. No more, no less.
Firstly, the post you replied to mentioned nothing about "CRT televisions." It says, "CRTs offer *far* better resolution at the present time than... every other non-military display technology", so someone skilled at reading comprehension would understand that it's talking about display technologies in general, e.g., CRT technology, not "CRT televisions." Your attempt to restrict the discussion to televisions only is an attempt at setting up a strawman.
Secondly, you claimed that "CRTs televisions [sic] cannot display 1080p," which is not exactly the same as "there are no 1080p CRT televisions." The former statement implies the impossibility, or at least the impracticality, of doing so, whereas the latter is merely about the existence of the sets. It would be trivial for a manufacturer to make a CRT television that could display 1080p. In fact, since any reasonable person would agree that a TV tuner card in a PC counts as "using the computer as a television," an HDTV tuner in a PC plus a CRT monitor capable of displaying 1080p is a 1080p CRT television.
Would you really think that such a tiny food item have around 50% of the calories you require in a single day?
... even though it doesn't have much nutritional value.
Wait a minute... didn't you just say that the nutritional value was around 50% of the calories you require in a single day? You can't even keep your story straight from one paragraph to the next.

Someone needs to go back to Chem 201 (Organic Chem). Some biology wouldn't hurt either.
Stop regurgitating stuff you've heard about from crackpots and learn about it for yourself.
Good for you.
The same could be said for your post. We don't care what you think either, so why did you even post?
If your applications can't figure out within a millisecond that you have no IPv6 routes, something's wrong, and it's not IPv6.
