The SIM (not SIMS) card is, naturally, readable by any application you choose to run on your phone.
On the other hand, the fact that the devices cannot even be told to run unsigned code makes life *really* hard for developers to test their code... write it, get MS to sign it, get it back, test it, see it doesn't work, fix it, get MS to sign it, get it back test it, see it still doesn't work,... etc... etc... etc. This would make development of a few months to last a few years!
It's a common phrase - I've worked at ICL and Sun, and they both use it. It's just another cliche like "singing from the same hymnsheet" and all the other stupid phrases that nobody would use after 5pm.

No, it is not funny.
Stereotyping oneself may be witty; stereotyping another is not, it is pathetic.
Showing that stereotypes are wrong is a Good Thing; the post did not do that.
As you say, civilisation entails accepting others, but it also involves correcting those who are wrong. Preferably in a loving and caring manner.

Yeah. I'm going to "get some" from a stranger in another country. I get quite enough from my wife, thank you very much. Get a grip (if only on your own piece, if that's all you can manage)
because?
MS profit on Windows and Office, their cash-cows. They use this profit to do other stuff.
The difference between this any any other company would be... what, exactly?
This is not news, this is not even vaguely interesting.
If MS made more from their mobile phone business than from Windows, that would be "News for Nerds" *and* "Stuff that matters". This is neither. It isn't even news (and hasn't been for at least a decade)

You are clearly serious, because you have not cracked a joke.
If you are unable to see why the original post ( When talking to a woman they can generally fake it and pretend to be smart, but then when they talk to each other it degenerates into talk about fashion, shoes, who's the bigger slut etc..) was teen male insecurity then keep reading it, linuxchix, and the referred article until you get a grip. Until you do, don't go outside, don't go online, don't use a telephone, and avoid all human contact, as the rest of humanity does not want to hear from you until you become a civilised human being.
It's embarrasing enough that/. is full of spotty teenage white males, there is no need to flaunt it.
Tesco.com have been doing this for years in the UK - with no venture capital, and using existing stores instead of specialised warehouses, are the biggest.COM in Europe - they have survived the.COM boom with no hype or fanfare.
And, SunOS 5.10 will, of course come with Solaris 10, like SunOS 5.9 came with Sol9, 5.8 came with Sol8, and so on.
This should not be a difficult thing for either techies or suits to understand.
Assuming you have a "lawful privilege"... which has been covered in the discussion - basically means if you're a state and an OEM... hmm, not many of them.
Legal judgements need to be provided in a certain way. Pushing out a.txt version could be an option, but the layout and formatting is part of the document, which.doc,.sxw,.txt,.html do not provide.
"Nope. That's not the middleware we were thinking about and we're sure an unbiased judge three years from now will agree with our reasonable and expert assessment."
Don't you mean "This is not the middleware you are looking for" ?
Same as Solaris_x86 was developed way before it was ever released, and continued to be developed after it was announced that it would no longer be available... keep your options open, make stuff, and if it suits the business, then make it available, but whether you currently want to make it available or not, you need to keep working on it.
I have the DeCSS source on my site (steve-parker.org) but that's not civil disobedience, it's a public service. I am in the UK (as is the server) and - until December - it is perfectly legal to distribute it. After December, it seems that I won't be able to do so. But at the moment, my country doesn't have a problem with me doing it, so I do it.
The point is, if I design a site which steals your bandwidth by using your images, most people who view my page can't see the images (if you block external referers to your images)
Unless that changes so that most people don't send HTTP_REFERER [sic] you're safe.

Some lawyer can point out that a 4-way Xeon is not a Personal Computer, but a Server, and that therefore this ruling does not apply?
Don't you mean "This is not the middleware you are looking for" ?
Which is why you should be saying "GNU/Linux"
If you mean the statement, you should say GNU/Linux - if you do not agree with it, then just say "Linux"

What percentage of Americans, would you say, can spell "Santa Claus" ?
Where did the RIAA get these $ from?
... oh yeah, there's "the rest of the world", too - it's bigger than America.
Americans, and
Consumers have more $$ than the RIAA.
To answer your question, though:

Glad someone said that, I was about to make the same comment. Dividing zero by a positive is not an error - the result is just zero.
So by your argument, tape sales are higher than CD sales?
This story is labelled "Censorship" - should be "United States"
The rest of the world (oh yeah, that's more Internet users than USA - even Europe is more than USA) don't really care about your country.
For all the "free speech" bullshit, face some facts for once.
This is a US national story, not a Censorship story.
I don't see anything on the site about 2.4.18 at all...
No, I think he's talking about trojan horses
