a) T-Mobile is the only other major US GSM network
b) CDMA networks carriers are only used in America (the continent), Japan and Korea, so it's not going to happen
c) T-Mobile USA, for some unfathomable reason, uses a non-standard "fifth band" frequency for its 3G, which means while a quad-band HSDPA phone will work fine in Europe, it won't in the US unless you roam on AT&T's network. It might be a firmware hack, or not. Until then, we'll see.
d) That said, it saddens me, slightly - I'm lucky, I guess, to never be away from wifi for too long so in the end all I use is an unlimited EDGE/texting (I cheated and cancelled my contract, also I live in a major north american city where 3G is, well, pretty bad, and on roadtrips, it's only a good deal in major metropolis on this side of the world)
This is possible in every other country, but quad band 3g will not work on T-mobile because it uses a fifth band that nobody (not even T-Mobile outside the US) uses. Now the question remains to see whether all it takes is a firmware hack, some people think it might just be that.
No, I'm saying the reason this move didn't affect them much in terms of user base is because to most of the user base, there has never been DRM in iTunes for them (yes there was, but they didn't use it then, so it was only in theory) - I do think a 30c overcharge was a bit of a dick move to get fairplay removed from DRMed older purchases, but from a purely user base point of view, they probably factored in favorable predictions based on new stores and the possibility of a lot of new customers coinciding both with the new sales of macs (Leopard was supposedly the most sold pre-installed version of MacOS) and the fact that a lot of people who avoided iTMS on principle might reconsider.
LOL, crawl back under a rock, it's not like learning multiple languages is bad - the average person who has the requisite knowledge will likely have enough basics in both official, I seriously hate the whiners, I deal with 2 dead and 9 living languages on a regular basis and am fluent in 4 (french, english, asl, german) besides the programming and markup ones, and I'm freaking deaf, it should be fucking child's play for assholes like you.
Sidenote, two provinces are significantly bilingual and parts of ontario is, Montreal and the Outaouais area, similarly.
That might be because there wasn't that much of an iTunes userbase before that, sure, they sold stuff (about two billion songs in five years) but since the drm-free announcement, two-three more key stores (Mexico, Brazil and a few mores this year), they've basically sold four times that in 2009 alone.
1. Be afraid 2. Your type is well known, documented and has enough material on to publish a monograph no need to pretend secrecy - in fact I know where the conversation type you started would go with anyone who hasn't dealth with your kind, down to the generic argument type and the fallacies you will make use of. 3. The conclusion you put together from your observations paint you as a narcissist.
I don't know about my mother since she tends to be rather schizo about tech (can handle dos and pre-gui unix fine, turns into computer stupidities material when a gui gets involved like the windows machines she has to use at work), and she lives three doors down, but I've done it on a regular basis for the last few weeks with my boyfriend because I happen to be part of the niche who does think that stuff is useful - I agree it hasn't taken the world by storm, but it does fulfill an existing need, just not one that most of the population has.
Like most documentaries, it shows the author's perspective on things with a variation of skewing - in this case, Michael Moore being well known as a mostly centrist liberal (hint to conservative howlers, he also has issues with some of the left that are very well known on the left) with a tendency for being something of a pundit.
It's not that far, but it misses some key underlying issues because they wouldn't sell enough, I can't remember which since I watched it a while back and, well, I have yet to find a documentary I found memorable:p
Corporate interests and collusion with professional colleges made sure they had difficulty accessing healthcare providers, a few still exist, but they have so many rules as to be essentially useless if you actually need healthcare.
Well, in theory Sun, too, has some gear that's comparable to an IBM mainframe (as for software, they seem to have what IBM provides with mainframes unless I missed something - OS, Virtualization, Database management, well supported programming language) - but they do all they can to avoid billing it as such.
For a sec I was thinking about EFI, which I've seen people who didn't know what it was describe as such, and also because I've completely forgotten the TPM chip which, well... hackintoshes on EFI equipped computers would get a bit more involved than it is (it's basically install OS - install bootloader - have your mac clone)
While, assuming most of them would gladly be consenting behind closed doors, I would applaud the person who did it for the cause, Isuspectthere areextremely good reasons why it hasn't been done yet. A pity politically, but can you blame the kids when they can have much better (and much better doesn't start at Mr Universe with some of those). I, for one, know I wouldn't touch the token woman at Concerned Women for America with a ten foot dildo.
France has a republican constitution in 1791, 1793, 1796, it had a constutionnal monarchy with constitutions where the only change was who ruled in 1804, 1814, 1815 and 1831. The French bill of rights is OLDER than its constitution, dating from 1789. Feudalism was abolished there. It was abolished in Sweden earlier, and it had a written constitution establishing a constitutional since 1777, there was also a polish and corsican constitution but at that point it was trying to repaint a burning house as they were conquered respectively by Russia-Prussia-Austria in 1793 and France in 1757.
Heh, I've been considering getting Minix running in VirtualBox for fun (and because I have the book for v3) because I was curious about microkernels, but it kind of amuses me how the debian GNU hardliners are sometimes about Hurd, and so you get a bunch of headbangy nonsense (a microkernel powers a bigger kernel that is not at all an OS, ever, because we'd have to admit embedded linux is an OS) that seems like it was written on drugs (fun fact, that nonsense comes up three times in the lower comments).
That and you get license wars, which get funny when you consider they're using BSD (which they don't like for one silly reason) because, hm, Linux doesn't want GPL3 (which they like half for the same reason they didn't like BSD) and they're mostly just pining for the second coming of Stallman;)
No, the only reason you should bring up Andy Tanenbaum in a discussion about GNU and Linux is to remind everyone that microkernels are best and that when HURD is done, we will finally have GNU and not need that not invented here eyesore called the linux kernel. Or something like that.
I'd rather people used SVG animation for games and video rather than putting it in HTML, seriously - I've been rather underwhelmed by the canvas and video tags and they tend to be as cpu hungry as flash.

lol, ironically, the website hosting the link happens to also fail at getting the point.
If you thing that's what the tragedy of the commons is about, I suggest you read the fucking article because you missed the damn point.

videophones, video mail
Yes, because absolutely nobody could see the interest.
Well, in theory Sun, too, has some gear that's comparable to an IBM mainframe (as for software, they seem to have what IBM provides with mainframes unless I missed something - OS, Virtualization, Database management, well supported programming language) - but they do all they can to avoid billing it as such.

And the rest is probably mostly IBM, we're doomed...

the missing word is monarchy, brought to you by the letter m

Whichever side they're on, the only appropriate response to IBM is to fear.
The problem was you, not her if the misogyny that's seeping through is any indication.
Here's a diem, seize it.
