Outside the US (and Japan?), it's GSM - something like 3 billion handsets according to the GSM Association. Not saying one is better than the other, just that GSM has a far higher market share worldwide.
Anyone else have the Download Manager do seriously weird things? If I start downloading with it on my MacBook (in XP in VMWare) my girlfriend's PowerBook loses it's DHCP lease, then re-acquires it, then loses it, ad nauseum. I'm not kidding, this is actually happening. As soon as I stop the Win7 download it's OK.
I've not done the research, but here in the UK we have the British Transport Police, who police the railways and so forth, and are real cops. Can any Americans shed some light?
OK, Iran can design and manufacture aircraft and ships - do you really, really think they need shit printers to construct weaponry? Not everyone east of the Med is some gibbering stone-age imbecile, you know?
I've seen a few, erm... how shall we put this.. "specialist sites" claiming to use these ratings. I've not ever tested that they work, but I think if adult sites are using them then I can't see why they aren't more widely talked about.
Still, it's really up to parents and not the State to decide this. I'm still hacked off about the whole Wikipedia image issue a few weeks back, and still haven't got a decent answer from my ISP. Grumble grumble...
To some extent I think a lot of the economic growth (especially wrt South Korea) just had to do with Western backing and not press/individual freedoms or the "seed of... political help" as you say. South Korea lived under a dictatorship for a good part of its post-war history, but we supported their dictator against the North's Soviet-backed dictator. Wiki reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Chung-hee - the bit about torture of political opponents makes a crackdown on blogging seem tame all of Vietnam's other human rights abuses notwithstanding.
Vietnam's history is checkered with horrible abuses of its people, but so are a lot of former and current Western allies.

>You're running x86 code on an x86 chip That's not correct. Rosetta runs PowerPC code on an x86 chip. I think the GP post was making the point that something similar could be done with Wine but in the opposite direction.
They also pull ads when something like 5 nutters say it's offensive. Case in point: the Pot Noodle "slag" ads (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2220108.stm) Useless shower of bastards.
In fact there are condom factories in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran and more or less every other Middle East nation. Now, the attitudes of the people regarding birth control is another matter, but please get your facts straight.
Yes, but the original Jewish inhabitants were (IIRC) Semitic Jews, and the majority of settlers that came in with Zionism are European (Askhenazim) Jews - so it is sort of colonisation. The fact is that in Israel today, non-Ashkenazim Jews (Yemenite, Maghreb, Ethiopian) do face discrimination. Israel a chosen land of the Jews? Sure, only if you're a good old white Euro Jew.
We've rolled out a few 2820Vn's at work for remote users. It (like the 2800 units we still use - you can probably find them cheaper) is good quality and robust. ADSL2+ VoIP, VPN, VLAN support, reliable as hell, ugly looking but built like a brick shithouse. I can recommend them with the exception of my personal peeve below:
** the deal breaker for me at home is the fact that the 2820 does not (and will not according to Draytek support) sport 5GHz 802.11n - it is N-compliant but only at 2.4GHz.
Not tried it on new hardware, but I was really impressed last night when I put it on a 3 year old Toshiba Sat Pro - it just worked(tm). Even let me disable trackpad clicking without faffing about. Played AVI and MP4/H.264 with minimal fuss. Wifi will be the next step.
I love tinkering but sometimes just want a distro to work - 8.04, whatever bugs aside, seems to fit the bill, to the point where I can finally recommend it to friends and co-workers.
No, you live in Israel where you're the only nuclear power in the region. If I lived in any of the Arab cities Tel Aviv could target with its medium-range weapons (and at one point I did), I'd be pretty pleased if we had something to fight back with. Hezbollah/Hamas/The Syrians have rockets and some decrepid MiGs (with shit pilots) and you have F-16s and (at a conservative estimate) 75 nuclear warheads.
See this? It's the world's smallest violin, playing just for you. Feel special yet?

Cynic. Not too hard to put a content filter on, is it? Like I was going to post it directly to slashdot.
Surely there's other /.'ers out there willing to set up a proxy with Squid or something?
Let me know if this would be helpful and I will.
Top man!
I checked the full file list from the path to the Windows download and the Mac version isn't there yet - just the SDK. Checking the mirrors now.

First paragraph is true and most people see that.
The bit about MEMRI is also true, and unfortunately not a lot of people know how that organisation selectively and misleadingly translates documents.

That's not correct. Rosetta runs PowerPC code on an x86 chip. I think the GP post was making the point that something similar could be done with Wine but in the opposite direction.
Yep, sure are. I just logged a support ticket with them about it, under the "abuse" section. Hope they like the sarcasm.
If you're with Be as well send them a nastygram and remind then you pay them for internet access, not to tell you what you may and may not see.
