I'm not sure thats how it is set up. I can't imagine connecting an iPhone to my gmail account and having my junkmail filters not apply.
I think the reason why the iOS4 might "fail to deliver" those email capabilities is BECAUSE they are handled by the email server. Perhaps the issue is that the iPhone cannot change those settings from the device, but thats not to say the settings aren't still there. After all, any phone I've ever heard of phone just requests the headers of your inbox, and then when you choose it downloads that message. So any rules or filtering you have will still work even for your mobile devices.
If I'm wrong, for any reason, then that is SERIOUSLY f'd.
This is true. I've tried both Telus and Shaw. And both their Antivirus and their Firewalls are pretty much next to useless, causing more problems then they are worth.
If the ISP's are going to force me to contractually install a firewall and antivirus on my PC supplied by them - I should be able to sue them for every infection that makes its way onto my PC that the antivirus can't remove within 24 hours.
If you are going to hold ME accountable, I'm going to hold YOU accountable.
I know its not going to reach everyone, thats why a pro or anti group managing to get to 3 Million members is only 3 million members and not the full population of Canada.
And I think apathy for voting is a bigger issue than people being technologically incapable. You probably have more 18 and 19 year olds who don't vote but are on Facebook than you have people in regions of Canada without access to the internet. I don't have any stats to back that up so take that with a grain of salt. Our company has branches in Yellowknife and Whitehorse, the capitals of the Yukon and Northwest Territories, so its not like everything out there is a barren wasteland without any connection to the technological world.
I'm not saying that Facebook is a great voting system, thats not what I'm trying to say at all. I'm just saying that it's a better indicator of whats going on then ignoring it completely. After all, those Young Tech Savvy people using it are going to be the voters for the next little while.
While I agree it's not really anything to report on YET, but don't doubt the power of something like facebook. It's not official polls but they can give some insight on people's opinions. Granted, this one is a bit of nerd-out kind of group, but suppose there was a group "I don't want our troops overseas" that had say... 3 Million + members. Think that might send a message?
This issue has been addressed already anyways. Any sort of preservation society (IE, museums) already handles items like this. The local Canadian Military Museum already has exhibits set up for the Afghanistan war, which is currently ongoing. Pretty much as soon as something happens, its making its way to an archive of some sort. I know of at least ONE museum that has a Nintendo Entertainment System and is in the process of buying a bunch of games for it. They've kept it in pristine condition.
This isn't limitted just to video games, but also TV Broadcasts, radio shows, movies, everything.
Then there is emulation, which works basically how you describe, grab the source code and make sure it runs on whatever we've got now-a-days, but anytime there is a shift in technology you have to update again. Some curators find that it's a lot less hassle having it emulated, as opposed to trying and maintain 10-20+ year old equipment, since an upgrade only comes every once in a while.
But for the most part, anything that can be preserved is being reserved. The stuff you learn dating a history major...
Isn't that kind of like complaining about a penthouse suite because the people who are frequently in there are highly paid escorts?
Or to put it in a car analogy, complaining about corvette because the driver doesn't know how to drive?
You can't complain about Twitter because of the people who use it, especially when it gives you the architecture necessary to ignore what you want and listen to what you do want.
1. SNR is way too low for me to bother with. 2. long link snipped
1. The SNR is entirely dependant on who you follow... so, if you get a lot of N, it means you're following the wrong S, which is your fault.
2. You linked to an article asking about the MORAL integrity of using one of these sites while studying? I could post an article "Is allowing someone to post on slashdot morally equivalent to assisting with suicide?". It's such a Glenn Beck move.
I think the main draw of twitter is that it pulls all the information to one central place.
I can go to Slashdot for my tech news but it'll be anywhere from an hour to a couple days behind. If I really want to be up to date on things, I find the relevant feeds on Twitter, and follow them. This way I don't have to wait for some game developer to tweet something, some user to read it, that user to post a story about it, some moderator to approve it, and then it making the front page.
So if I'm interested in 5 key game developers, situational updates with Oracle, and anything coming out of Microsoft, I've got it all in one place with an easy to read UI that also forces feeds to be concise.
It beats out the regular e-newsletter because I don't have to worry about sorting it away from my regular email inbox and they can't waste my time with 3 paragraphs of nothing to get to the juicy details.
But, then again, everyone is different, YMMV, and all that jazz.
If you look at any of the content on the internet, you're going to get similar results. Even here on Slashdot, the number of posts I've seen regarding to our favourite N word goes through the roof, though we've luckily got a content rating system to keep most of them in check.
So you've got to objectively view Twitter in the same way you view any social media. For example, if a comment in slashdot is rated at -1, I'm usually not going to waste my time looking at it. Likewise, if there's hundreds of twitterers out there all tweeting, how do I know which ones to look at? Well, lucky for you, they've got their own ranking system. You can look for the people who are most followed, or you can search who you are interested in, and JUST follow them. It's surprisingly THAT easy.
I mean, how many of these engineers care for Youtube comments and 30 seconds Respond videos uploaded to youtube?
I could sit here all day and list things that engineers don't like about social sites, but that doesn't devalue the integrity of a social site.
So you're among the very few people who exist on the internet who don't access any of the regular forms of entertainment. Even I don't watch TV but given the movies I've SEEN in my lifetime let alone what I may want to see in the future, its nearly impossible to miss universal studios. Even if I had somehow managed to dodge every VCR, DVD, and Blu-ray in the world and never visitted a movie theatre I would have somehow played one of the video games loosely based off of one of their movies.
And all of its really a moot point though - even if YOU aren't DIRECTLY affected, perhaps half of your friends are affected by NBC and with anti-trust media practices you'll get very 1 sided opinions forming, so you'll either have to ditch half your friends for being narrow minded, or you'll have to be annoyed by your friends every time they're around, or you and your friends will become the social outcasts of society. You know the kinds, who don't work well with others in the work-place because they can't talk about current events and if they do, they upset other people when they tell them they are wrong, and it won't matter if you're right because your manager will get pissed that you are refuting the very facts they believe coming from their "trusted source". It's like if you don't jump on board you're "That guy" that no one wants to invite out to lunch.
However, if you live under a rock, like to play chess by yourself by torchlight, and only visit the internet by tapping binary into a magnetic rock that sends signals to an access point, than you probably won't be affected by this merger too much.
I'm not sure if you could really DO that though, I mean in some cases you might be able to (like say men vs women) - but I don't think you could have something target specifically people with black hair. I don't think working with genetics is like working with program code - you can't simply do an if statement to test for a condition and then execute if true. I was under the impression you could simply target the genes you'd want to change.
But then again, I didn't even take Bio in high school, so I have no idea.
I don't know what other vendors are like, here in Canada, Telus & Bell do pretty well with phone upgrades. I can sign a 3 year contract for a $0 phone, and in about a year, they'll contact me with a promotional offer to upgrade my phone.
I have upgraded to an HTC Touch from a Ericson from an old Samsung Flip Phone, Never going out of warranty, each a year apart, all for $0 because I kept signing another contract with them.
I mean, it may not be an iPhone, but its not a bad piece of hardware considering I didn't pay a cent for it.
What I don't get, is how Adrian Lamo found out Manning was the guy who did it?
I mean, how do you dupe someone into giving you that kind of information if you don't know they have it?
So, it sounds like Manning was "boasting" about it - which one of the articles even uses that words, which is entirely his own stupidity and not some "operation" preformed by anyone, at all.
I've decided I have to visit that place this summer.
I mean I'll feel weird having to fork over $5 to someone I think I'll disagree with, but it'll be interesting to see what evidence they have. My girlfriend has studied human history quite a bit and has a few geology courses under her belt, so she'll be my guiding star.
They discovered a large herd of animals which died in a a large flood event.
What did this remind you of?
It reminded me of dinosaurs that die in a lot of ways many people died.
Are you seriously trying to spout the idea that our species lived along side dinosaurs? Do you have any idea exactly how much evidence there is to refute such a claim?
I seriously don't see how you're linking long living Cancer cells to humans somehow living longer. You do know that Cancer is a BAD thing and that most people who get it are not going to live longer, right?
I feel like you've somehow managed to drop the IQ of everyone in slashdot by posting this.

It matters because it'll make more people sheep.
Do you know how many people pick other phones over an iPhone simply for the ability to multitask?

I think that would build him a higher profile, actually. I can't even imagine what kind of mad dash would happen to find out who owns Wikileaks...
If RIAAlliance wanted to show me reason they shouldn't have sent an assasshole lawyer.

Did you try clearing your AOL cache?

I select "funny" and it does nothing.
That's not an error, Slashdot just doesn't agree with you.
Actually by then, it'll be IPv6.1 with a single extra bit added to the end of each IP Address, thereby DOUBLING the IP address space.
