GSM is 2G Telus has HSPDA (or commonly called HSPA). No GSM-only phone will work on Telus or Bell.
Many new 3G phones can use Both, so an unlocked phone can be on either network by just switching sim cards. Besides having the same Tech. The phones must also support the specific frequencies used by that carrier. Many European 3G phones will not work in North America.
It is rumored that Telus will get both the Milestone and perhaps even the Opus one this year.
Offtopic,Troll or Flamebait is just not enough. Then I can read slashdot at a -1 threshold without having to read this crap. (some Offtopic -1 post are still interesting)

PS3 Hacked?
·
· Score: 1
But will it run Linux?
No, seriously, I rarely play games, and if I do - they're on a Mac.
The only appeal of the PS3 to me is programming the Cell processor, I was hoping to get into that later this year. WTF did Sony discontinue support for Linux in the new PS3?
...and their fitness program is to take the stairs so you don't have to worry about being fired in an elevator.
That is one of the most interesting articles about Apple I've read.
Funny that Apple is the only major company that hasn't jumped in on the Netbook bandwagon.
Due to overwhelming interest, the Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet is currently out of stock on Amazon.com for orders shipping to the U.S. only (Amazon will still process an order for International shipment*).
Today's shipment to Amazon has sold out. The tablet is expected to be back in stock by Tuesday. If you would like to be notified when it is in stock, please follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your interest in the Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet and your effort to "Say Goodbye to Paper".

That's not true. Since at least the Berne Convention in the 1970s, copyright protection is automatic, and publication is not a prerequisite. Your work is copyrighted the instant you lift your pen. Under the Berne Convention, however, whether you wrote the book when you were 20 or when you were 70, the copyright would still extend to 50 years after your death. Later amendments to copyright law in the United States have extended the term further, and the situation can get fairly complicated for "works for hire" or works owned by a company, as the Jack Benny show may be.
facepalm You are right, I got to make better examples. Sorry for the noise.
If I write a book when I'm 20, then publish it when I'm 70, my Copyright will extend from the year I published it, not when I wrote it.
A show like this is the work of many people (not just one person). Therefore if CBS wants to release the footage or destroy the footage, it's up to them. While I'm unfamiliar with Jack Benny, but if there is a 'big stink' raised in regards to this not being released, then they might decide to make anyone visiting their vault sign an NDA about its contents.
But if they don't digitize the footage, time will destroy it.
Clearly some people think a complete, Open Source, Windows-compatible OS has some real value.
I use ReactOS to test some MinGW - based programs I write for windows. I find the EULA for Windows unacceptable. But I still want my software to run on it.
1 create a web-page with 1440 still jpegs 2 create a 1 min ogg vorbis file 3 viewers use a download manager or script to download images and sound 4 viewers use a program to combine images and sound into a video
A simple script can be used to do this. Even on windows, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a program to do all this in one step.
BTW that text is just a text that I used to gauge how fast my typing was. It was not the text used in the competition.
The full text that I failed to (fully)recall is:
"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator and vanished. He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."
(From Quantum Leap)
But there is no reason anyone with a reasonable knowledge of the English language would not be able to text faster than me, even with far more complicated material.
Is it? I can type significantly faster than 250 characters in a minute or two.
I don't get it. 264 characters? 1.59 seconds? Could the article be wrong, meaning words instead of characters?
I just typed 298 characters in 2 minutes, 3 seconds (not counting time pressing the start-stop button on my watch). (3 wrong characters, 1 wrong space) Here's the text. (some of it I couldn't remember, so I made parts of it up, please don't laugh) THEORIZING THAT ONE COULD TIMETRAVEL WITHIN HIS OWN LIFETIME DOCTOR SAM BECKET STEPPED INTO THE TIME TRAVEL THINGIE AND VANISHED, HE AWOKE TO FIND HIMSELF TRAPPED IN THE PAST, FACING MIRROR IMAGES THAT WERE NOT HIS OWN, AN D TRYING HIS BEST TO DO GOOD THINGS THAT IN THE BEND LEAD TO HIS DEMISE AND.
So I copied the message from my Nokia Communicator onto a card, then onto my netbook, then I posted it here.
Almost 300 characters in just over 2 minutes. And I rarely text. So there are lots of people who would beat me.
All these ideas make you be able to watch youtube videos.
But they all require you to either install a proprietary player on an open OS, or download the material (thereby violating the youtube terms of service).
I will look into totem, I'm not sure if it can stream from youtube (instead of playing a download).
I have to thank Canada's National Post newspaper. Throughout this 'non-crisis' it kept on telling people that the numbers did not add up. Maybe I would have felt differently if I had not gotten it myself before this hysteria reached its apex. The "normal" flu I got 3 months later was actually worse for me.
As usual, the biggest winners are the drug companies. (someone should write an article about stock company values before and after) The biggest losers are the people who were affected and died of H1N1, and in the end - us.
Next time a pandemic hits, we will be more ignorant. If it's another SARS then far more people will die before people get the message that it's not just another H1N1.

I think you mean HSPA, which has HS-DPA and HS-UPA components, but they are all grouped as HSPA
Yes, I meant HSDPA, not HSPDA.
Does Telus have HSUPA as well?

It's a 'nerdy' car.
The new owner of Saab gets shot 7 times, then has the guts to buy one of the most under-performing brands in automotive history.
A Klingon coming to earth would buy a Saab.
And if you say anything bad about Saab, he would make you wish you were Ferengi looking at Saabs' last quarterly statement.
How about a (-2) 'hate speech' mod.

sorry for being OT
Yet, recalls Jim Goodnight, the co-founder and boss of SAS, probably the world's biggest privately owned software-maker, the M&Ms have come to symbolise the famously employee-friendly culture that he has cultivated at his firm.
That has got to be the best use of the candy since WW2 and one of the reasons SAS is #1. That's the type of mindset I would like my boss to have.
I checked the list twice.
Where's Apple?

Test the survivability of this by using a dummy with G-force sensors (just like we see on Mythbusters).
Then, if all goes well - try the stunt.
And please, use some kind of stabilizer to make sure you don't turn into a frisbee.
I do see potential in this 'experiment' if anyone ever needs to bail out on spaceship2.

(Wi-Fi) distance records (using non-standard devices) include 382 km (237 mi) in June 2007.

If their laptops don't have their wi-fi cards removed, that would make for some out-of-this-world wardriving.

IT has to do both.
If either gets neglected, the company suffers.

Inner white blood cell lords is more like it, as our immune system goes ballistic trying to mop up all the muck.
