There is no surname in your Gmail contacts on the computer either though. Just a 'name' it doesn't try to split it or do anything, it always displays it as you type it (doesn't try to split it to display as Lastname, Firstname or anything like that either.) I got the standard opensource version or Android so I don't see that music player that was put on most likely by your carrier to give you a 'unique' experience on your Android phone.
As for the images you can also long press an image... press 'Share' and you have 'Bluetooth device' & 'Picasa' (which if you also have the program installed on your computer, you're done.)
BTW I still have a G1 but rooted with the CyanogenMod, which is Android 1.6. That said, your experience on a carrier released version of Android could very well be different and I wouldn't doubt they validate your claims. The Nexus should be a better phone, as the updates, etc... will be controlled by Google and not the carrier as all the other Android based phones currently are.
This is why they are scrambling to get it on. I believe the Roku does the same, sounds like they just have a special license + backdoor/gateway of streaming the original files. Netflix, of course, just doesn't want us all to have this.
Sounds like you're the joke. Why would you uninstall something that is already paid for and running on the system? If anything you could have installed OOo next to MS Office while accounting maybe transitioned into it. And your the tech guy? Taking advice from a friend that works at Best Buy? niicee...
Part of the big deal about a Google phone is that is syncs with Google (you can always turn that off and use your own or a hosted Funambol server to sync using their client apps). Whatever your using for calendar/contacts (Outlook?) -- just sync that to Google (online services). OTOH it is pretty silly that the Behold doesn't have bluetooth.
Exactly the type of shit my boss would do. ItWasn't a holiday weekend or anything like that so I didn't mind too much, plus I would just use the opportunity to smoke blunts in my office while I work. I'm the only programmer in my company (with help from a designer and IT guy for Exchange and handling the desktops) so he wouldn't say anything about my coding, just change plans that would be a total 360 programming wise and have absolutely no shame when I point out that the site had previously worked the way he just said but we had scrapped it completely because he wanted to follow the Amazon cart or whatever his new site for that week is. Or I love it when he's sitting behind me just watching me program as if he knows WTF I'm doing, as I hard-code some dirty shit just so he can see a change on the screen and leave me the fuck alone.
How do they know that you "live" there... and how do they know for how long? How do they know you didn't stay in that country/state for 2 month and 29 days then went back to the original location where you received the license and came back? I mean unless the police know you in the area -- how would they know (checking your passport maybe, but are you required to carry that and show it to local law)?
Just curious, because in the US we have similar laws. If I move I must change the address on my license within only a month I think -- needless to say I still have my parents address on my license but have not lived there for over 5 years. I haven't changed it mostly because its a pain in the ass to change and super easy to just re-register using the same information.
If you are only using it internally (like for a server hosting your website - as we do at my job) I do not think you need to supply any source code, the business is using it for itself. Once you start distributing that software outside of your business to customers or business customers thats when the rules start to kick in. I could be wrong but that's how I interpret the GPL (and have heard of it interpreted/explained).
No. But if you got a new number from Google and are forwarding it to your cellphone, expect a few "wrong #s" calling as it was probably someone else's # before you.
It's better to get another # anyway and simply set up your cell phone # to forward the voicemail to the Google voice. #440#*then-the-number (or something like that) on t-mobile (google it). Instead of going to your t-mo voicemail it will forward to your google voice for voicemail. I use that on my G1 so I can pay for the lower plan (only 400 texts) and make people text me on my GV# but they can call either # and it all goes to 1 voicemail. I'm planning on switching to Verizon on the 6th when the Droid comes out, I'm not sure if Verizon will allow this though (and I'm hoping Jesus Freke gets one too so I can root it ASAP, lol).
I understand this is not necc Google's fault but their fix doesn't necc stop Yahoo or Bing from crawling it. I mean if you want to share your voicemail on your blog its like girls who post pictures wearing a bra and panties in the bathroom mirror on myspace, you can't be too mad when someone you didn't want to finds it.
I do agree they should make the voice mail completely private and only activate the URL from outside if specifically "shared". Funny because less than 10 minutes ago I setup my G1's voice mail to forward to Google Voice so I can use it as visual voice mail (works great by the way) -- didn't know this was going on though.
ehh, I assume you're using IE on Windows. Apple's Safari browser, is open source. Apple's Mac OSX is based of an open source operating system that just doesn't have the additional licensing limitation forcing Apple to open source it back. Printing on your Mac uses open source cups:-o.. shall I continue?
This is just open source within the company you named is the Anti-open source (though they kind of are). Even they are not CONTRIBUTING to open source, more USING open source... but non-the-less to make a profit -- which you say can't be done. Who know's how far they would be with out open source, having to create an OS and apps completely from scratch.
I don't think you were serious though, but I'm bored at work and its right before my lunch break... so why not feed the trolls.
Also if you're referring to the Google video/voice chat which isn't available on Linux browsers. Its available, and works even better in Empathy (Gnome's voip/chat client).
Yea difference is, if I'm Big Company A using Apache and we find a bug/security flaw we can hire someone to fix it or call up apache or the mod creator and pay him to fix it immediately and patch our servers. Big Company B that uses IIS finds a bug and they can either turn the service off and wait for a fix to be released (which might not be an option depending on how critical that service is for the company) or just have to hope its not exploited while Microsoft patches it - whenever they feel like, depending on the severity and how many other customers it also effects, etc.. Even Small Company can have an influence or fix whatever is found in Apache themselves. With IIS, you kind of just have t wait.
I don't care which one you prefer but that's just the truth of it.
People still use FTP? I'm not saying your totally safe with SFTP, but I haven't used FTP in I don't know how long! For ssh/sftp it's gotten to a point where I just use SCP command line, with the exception of connecting through Nautilus once in a while.
It's like saying a Mercedes Benz is too expensive, and why don't they make cheap ones. Because that's what they're in the business to do, its not to say a Benz is actually worth more than a Toyota, you can argue it's built better (I'm not a car guy so I don't really know) and has more bells and whistles but is the price really justified? No and its not supposed to be, the people who buy it don't really even want it to be.
If you think its too expensive, don't buy it! Still don't see what the big deal is about Macs though.
Ehh, you talkin about that 'damn piece of paper'? That hasn't mattered much for a while now, I'm sure somewhere behind this is a lot of big business -- track downloaders, sharer's, etc... What big business wants, big business gets.

I honestly had the same reaction as TooMuch... when I read:
First, if your manager says don't put up a web page, then don't. End of discussion.
Then I saw the username and realized that her training is just going well. You shall surely make a manly dike happy one day.
All at a price that no one can beat...
... or pay, i mean.
Thanks for the warning.. I was trying to install it using Wine.
Yea the "Despite this minor detail" which is EVERYTHING the entire campaign was about is pretty funny.

you can get Netbooks now a days for $199 + 2 year contract. Still I would say its a waste, get a smart phone so you can tether to your laptop.
No. But if you got a new number from Google and are forwarding it to your cellphone, expect a few "wrong #s" calling as it was probably someone else's # before you.

No matter how you put it, rsyncing a share on every persons computer that wants to search it, is not how you do it.

Ehh... When my phone rings, the music just pauses itself. But then again my phone is also my MP3 player. Useless... to me at least.
Your on slashdot, not ubuntu or boxee.com
