Just because those that call themselves Christians or Jews don't actually follow the rules in the books which makes them Christians or Jews doesn't make the religion anymore peaceful. Tell that to half the soldiers oversees who think they are fighting a war for God, like Palins son lol. We're on a mission from God!! If you don't believe in God, its because they bombed our towers;-)
That's the whole point, is they want you to get the more expensive one. If you're a power user, actually using your mac, you need to get a Pro, all the college kids, etc.. get the one right under $1000.
On the radio they even said Apple is making a 'cheap' laptop in light of the financial crisis.
Sorry I ran off I understand Wordpress is not necc a content management system, more something like Joomla. Another thing thats turns me off about the CMS is the speed, they're just a lot slower than some clean code that does exactly what you want and still has flexibility. A lot of out of the box web apps suffer from this though as they try to be as flexible as possible so stuff that should be coming out of a config or something like that usually ends up having to get read out of a database every time.
I agree with you. I have a basic CMS that I built on top of CakePHP that handles groups, users, permissions, comments for whatever model (comments for audio section or blogs, etc all in one controller) and a blog all using built in Cake functionality (Authentication, ACL, CRUD, Pagination, etc.), anything else is a lot easier to add within that framework than lets say, Wordpress. For example if you want to add forums where the users are the same for the blog comments, or an audio section or photo gallery. If you know you're just creating a straight up blog and you're not a developer though your better off going the Wordpress route though.
Actually I read more about this app before and it is GPS aware, will actually show you lower prices around the area you are at! I completely see your point about Google being big brother, I too am paranoid and though I like Google right now I don't and never will completely trust a corporation.
I did pre-order my G1 the day it came out though because it's completely open, you can replace every single app on the phone, even the desktop. So people like you and I who maybe don't want all the information to go through Google can easily change this.
Yep, pre-ordered mine a few hours ago, should be at my front door October 22nd! I use Gmail and Google Apps for Domains, should work the same with Google Apps so this will be great.
Plus its only $25 a month for unlimited data and 400 text messages (I don't even use that many), since its open I'm sure it will be no time before an app offers tethering. They've announced it does not do that now though.
yea I still don't see what the big deal is with the iPhone. It's just as restrictive as any other phone, and it has no keyboard. I've been able to copy and paste from emails on my phone since the Sidekick color, that was at least like 6 years ago, and have been playing Sonic the Hedgehog for over a year on this Sidekick III, the keyboard is what keeps me around, the iPhones nice response to tilt for some games and stuff is cool but really does nothing for me. I even got a terminal client on the old sk -- mind you the browser is a joke but usable on sites that are meant for mobile and the lock in on it is pretty ridiculous. My contract has been up for about 6 months now, just been waiting for the Dream Phone. It does or can do at least everything the iPhone does, plus a slide out keyboard and open OS, besides maybe looks if you like shiny little toys or marketing I don't really see what the competition is...
Lets say I buy a DVD drive it comes with a WINDOWS cd that includes the codec and whatever media player they bundle on it. I paid for that codec it just happened to be bundled into the price of the DVD Rom, isn't it completely legal for me then to install the 'restricted' DeCSS codec on my linux machine since I already bought a license for it, just the one that came on the CD didnt work -- I'm still the only one using it though.
How would you know I'm not so old that I forgot my original/. login and created another one? Also if you read the statement I didn't say he doesn't work in IT, I said he either doesn't or pretty much he's lucky to be in an IT position where his expertise and intelligence is acknowledged.
He probably is old enough to be my GP, but he's definitely your daddy.
It sounds like you haven't done much IT work, or if you do its for some big corporation with a few layers of IT management above you to pad the business management bullshit.
Too much info. There's dirt, airy & kind bud (which includes haze, kush, dro, etc.). I usually buy a half oz of airy because its cheap and last me the week. Kind bud on occasion, some uptown haze or cali kush when I get the chance.
What that has to do with Microsoft? Not sure, but works over and I got a roach waiting in the car!
Pot lines definitely will be last to go. But how many of us actually have dial-up modems with the drivers installed. I mean we all know most people use gnu/linux:) and rarely are any of the modems that come with your computer supported unless you went out and bought a specific compatible one. Do Macs even come with dial-up modems (serious question, my brother is all about them but I never bothered to look)?
But is it coming in September or not? Last date I heard was November. I got an expired T-Mobile contract thats ready to get 'upgraded', for now I still got this ancient Sidekick III.
Seriously though, you think this was a decision made by Barack Obama to block linux users. It runs on a linux servers, its the jack-asses at whatever IT company the Democratic Convention contracted for that particular site.
If you do a quick User Agent Switch to IE on Vista or something that it accepts you'll see it asks you to download either Silverlight or some other plug-in called Move. It's not like they blocked Linux users from seeing a flash file. Still their idiots, most people involved in the actual convention probably either use a Mac or whatever came on their laptop (windows), so they really have no idea.
That said, I don't think either party really is out to make sure the internet is open and getting rid of silly copyright and patent laws.
Actually if you read the article, that is the same case in the UK. For the most part, people buying linux PCs are specifically looking for a linux pre-installed PC.
Yet Linux has nevertheless made an impressive gain. The UK's distribution business was built around the arteries of marketing money flowing from vendors - money they earned from selling their software. You might say that the distribution business is dependent on the marketing funds it gets from vendors.
Not sure, but I doubt linux is putting up some marketing bucks.

Ever heard of OpenMoko? It's pretty much a computer with a GSM modem, works on T-mobile with a SIM in US and all over Europe.

I didn't think I needed the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] tags around my post. Unless people are just voting me down because they don't like it. smh...
No they are just ignoring it on their own will because that's what most staff workers will do when being threatened by the law.

Incase you didn't see the previous 10 comments... This is a feature, you probably pressed...
How is that redundant? It was flamebait before.
Oooh.. so I'm not goofing off, I'm just thinking.
Wish I had mod points. Deserves 'Insightful'.

Microsoft does very well is maintain backwards compatibility.
What?
