Anyone notice that this article is more of a plug than anything else? Also, the poster is mack@ocaddiction.com (OCSystem's reviewer and parent company).
it's so sloppy that it had to be accidental
yeah yeah i know, flamebait. but i thought it should be said.
Any Washington DCer knows that WHFS (CBS) is the only decent alternative to ClearChannel's DC101. It's hilarious to listen to Elliot in the Morning knock on ClearChannel almost daily (and the fact that the mega-corporation can't do anything about it without causing a public outcry).
FCPS is a bunch of crack whores. Trust me, I know. (Chantilly, VA resident)
One word of advice: don't EVER run those little red stop signs the busses shove out into the middle of the road. There is always a safety patrol in the back of the bus writing down liscense plate numbers. (I used to be one of them).
The SIM lock is not a problem. Just swap in your SIM card (you don't want theirs anyway). The phone lock however is. If you call VoiceStream at +1 800 937 8997, they will help you through the unlocking process so you can use the new phone on VS's neetwork.
The Nokia 8390 (1900Mhz 8310) was released by Nokia a long time ago, and can be purchased from various retailers (as well as on eBay).
However, the number one GSM service provider in N. America, VoiceStream, has not yet bought any 8390's from Nokia (and from what I'm told, does not plan to).
I actually got into a fight over this the other day with the VoiceStream TAC because the exclusion of the 8390 makes the 3390 the only Nokia phone available from VoiceStream. (The wonderful 8290 [which I currently use] was recently phased out due to a very common glitch which causes the LCD screen to fail.
REMEMBER - You can buy an 8390 from another retailer, throw your SIM card in, AND IT WILL WORK JUST FINE! That's the beauty of GSM.
Apple has completely dropped linux due to Mac OS X (BSD). This isn't a bad thing. Third party linux projects will always take place. Apple just isn't going to throw their money at them anymore.
MacNN/MacSlash/MOSR are down, but we still have MacMinute.
"MacMinute is in attendance at the media event and will bring the news as we learn of it."
And it looks like in the time it took me to type this post, the action has already started:
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is currently recapping Apple's digital hub products, including iTunes, iMovie 2, iDVD, and Mac OS X's Image Capture application. [October 23 - 13:10-13:20]
Hell yeah! It was just announced! (from MacMinute):
Apple introduces iPod, a digital audio player (MP3, MP2) with a 5GB hard drive (1000 songs). 20 minute skip protection. [13:25]
This product has had the mac world biting their nails for the past week or so. Two of the most popular mac news sources, MacSlash and MacOS Rumors, are currently down, and MacNN has been slowed to a crawl. The official announcement from apple is expected to happen at 10:00AM PST.
That "horribly expensive proprietary Unix for Macs" is named "MachTen" and was made by Tenon. Once Machten reached version 4.1ish, it wasn't that bad. I could use a unix mach kernel at blazing fast speeds on my mac's PPC processor WAY before OS X.

"Gott" is a German word that means "God."

Faint irony, no?
Just FYI
I just searched for Scientology, and the first thing that came up was:

Hah! Sounds a lot like what we do hear in .va.us
Except we'll have a bottle of vodka to fight with the weed and shrooms. =)
Wow. You are one of the organizers of the whole thing? I probably have some pictures of you somewhere. Do you know cvega and crew?
Norway has a similar gigantic lan-party type thing once a year called "The Gathering." Anyone ever attended? Why don't we see more of these in the US?
To the best of my knowledge, Darwin was built from FreeBSD 3.1. Maybe some of the MkLinux staff was transfered over to OS X, however.

That's it, mod me up, you can do it.

Covad/NAS DSL, static ip's, linux shell accounts, friendly knowledgeable techs (that's me). What more could you ask for?

- me: remember to bump the version number
I installed iTunes2 and it worked just fine. It seems that all of the people over at MacSlash have had the same results.
What are you waiting for? Goto the Apple Store.

Why don't we use all that money to improve the education process, instead of allowing every 7th grader in the state look at porn during class...

I'm willing to bet that it was the handy-work of our F-16's.
