When I bought an N73 I was able to use a collection of tools to remove the simlock and flash the phone with Nokia's stock firmware. The result was massively improved performance and battery life, but I'm not sure if this is still possible.
Bingo. This is a huge problem. Will Adobe even be invited on board to write a plugin? Apple should have sorted this out before releasing this. Even my Nokia E71 supports Flash, for God's sake.
And this is why you should not pretend to be a lawyer. Ready?
Interpol has no police force. It conducts no investigations. It doesn't arrest anyone. As an international organization it was not subject to FOIA requests anyway, because it's not a department of the federal government.
As a previous poster noted, this is NOT DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. This is immunity from attachment of any property that Interpol may have in the USA. Any employees of Interpol, if any, stationed in the USA can and would still be arrested for crimes they commit. In summary, both the original submitter and basically every comment I've seen so far are not just wrong, they are comically wrong.
Yeah, this makes no sense. I use the default Web app on my Nokia E71, and most pages render correctly and most flash objects work fine. I can even use homestarrunner.com if I want to, which I do.
I gave up when they intentionally broke my brower's Back button. You have to use their tiny "Back to list" link to move back from an individual listing to your search results. To me, that's broken. When I reported it as a bug, I actually got a note from BOTH customer service and legal telling me that eBay was under no obligation to pay attention to my criticism. I'm not kidding.
That company is hosed. It has forgotten what made it successful, and is now like any other bureaucratic organization. Ruled by MBAs and project managers who only look good if they're constantly stirring the pot and adding ingredients.
The lesson here is that if you want massive law review articles, the kind of people who use the word "modality" in every sentence, then go to Harvard. If you want a LAWYER, go to a law school and not a a place with its head in the clouds. I suspect the defendant would've been better off with a professor from Suffolk...
My Symbian phone is based on a successor architecture to the MIPS chip that was in the original PS1 and is an order of magnitude faster, which might simplify system emulation. If there were an official PS1 emulator for my phone (and that's what we're really talking about after all, isn't it?) I'd buy it. And since Sony already owns Connectix...
I think you're wrong about that trade law, mostly because the tax havens don't have any actual trade to use as a threat. Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Jersey, Ireland, Luxembourg - these are the little countries that are holding the tax policies of the rest of the world hostage. Trade war? What trade war?
The race to lower taxes is a race straight to the bottom. Businesses will continue to use tax havens as long as there is any benefit to doing so, and the simple fact is that a big economy like the USA cannot afford to lower tax rates to what a little place like the Cayman Islands can charge, e.g. basically nothing.
A better solution is to change conflict laws to ignore the formal jurisdiction of incorporation and instead use the primary place of business. Want to be a Cayman corporation? Then move your ass to the Cayman Islands, along with your entire family. Otherwise, you will be taxed based on where your company really is headquartered. This is something that the major economies of the world can cooperate to make happen, and we don't have to drop our taxes into the toilet to do it.
The man makes a good point. I almost forgot that every time I open Adium, I'm really using an AOL service. Almost.
When I did freelance tech support, I had a couple of elderly clients who used AOL for email. I don't know what they'll do if the service simply disappears.
Did they run out of ways to increase the sticker price on this thing and make up for it by just covering every surface in leather? Does the car for the 21st century have to look like a cow died in it?
The problem isn't with Symbian, it's with the stupid way AT&T handles Symbian. A combination of horrid marketing and crufted-up AT&T branded firmware images combined to kill every Symbian offering AT&T ever sold. True story: when the N62 came out, I tried to buy one at an AT&T store, and the salesman told me not to buy one, trying to make me buy a Blackberry instead. When I insisted that I wanted a Symbian phone, he told me that the reason I shouldn't by the phone was "no one uses them." They didn't have any in stock anyway.
I eventually bought an N75, AGAIN against the advice of the guy at the AT&T store. The AT&T software was rubbish, but thanks to an unlock and a de-brand I have been quite happy for the last 18 months.
That would depend on France's conflict rules, which (unusually, if I remember correctly) are that the courts of France have jurisdiction over any matter harming a French national. You are broadly correct - in the USA or most other countries, the courts would likely NOT have jurisdiction over the case. But France is France. That doesn't mean that the defendant would be able to enforce the judgment though. A US court could examine the question of whether the French courts had jurisdiction over the matter before agreeing to enforce the judgment, and that probably wouldn't fly.
But the difference is that we don't do that stuff anymore. And when modern Jews recite those lines, we pretty much hold our noses. We're not busy stoning people, or cutting off heads, or whatever. Hell, some large number of American Jews are practicing Buddhists. Have you noticed piles of cobblestones around any Buddhist temples recently?

They have the power to kill free debate and discussion within their borders. That's true. They have the power to murder Tibetans and then tell the rest of the country that Tibetans are very happy to be part of China, on pain of imprisonment.
But as a free people, we have the right to point and them and call them cowards. That's about our freedom to call it like we see it. As long as there is freedom of speech anywhere in the world, then no one has the "right" to not have their evil discussed abroad.
I don't know. I'm kind of tired of doing a search for designer suits and finding page after page of obvious Chinese-made ripoffs. And to make matters worse, eBay makes you jump through hoops to report fakes - the "report" link goes to a FAQ page instead of a real report link. I actually wrote to eBay about this sub-optimal behavior, and they wrote back that they were under no obligation to listen to my suggestions.
My Zaurus does more than this thing, and I got it for $100 off of eBay. My Libretto from 9 years ago does more than this thing. All of this time has passed, and this is where we are? Seriously?
I don't understand this entire conversation. I have an unlocked Nokia N75, which is a Symbian phone. I can install any software I please on it, and as long as there's EDGE or even GPRS coverage, I can do what I like with the so-called "open web." For that matter, even though the locked AT&T version of the N75 was loaded with crapware, you could still install your own software on it.
I don't care about waiting for the phone companies to agree. It's my phone, I own it, I pay for unlimited data, and I'll install what I like. Now gimme some candy, Mozilla!
Aside: Nokia's "Web" browser is pretty much the best mobile browser I've ever used. If your phone doesn't have this app on it already, then you're either not looking hard enough or you need a firmware update.
I'd never looked at Autoadmit.com. I've never seen a bigger bunch of prestige queens in my life. If these really are Yale, Stanford, and Princeton law students, then why the hell are those places as highly rated as they are? This is like/b/tards for law school.
State secrets privilege in the United States is all-or-nothing. Once the government claims it, the case basically stops. While it's theoretically possible for a case to proceed after a claim of state secrets if there is still enough evidence to move the case forward, in reality state secrets is such a blow that no case survives. In other countries, such as those with real state secrets problems like Israel, state secrets results in a balancing test to determine whether the government's interests in the secret is more important that the aggrieved plaintiff's need for justice. If there are secrets that must be introduced at trial, the judge and the attorneys are trusted to hear them in closed court. Especially considering the potential for abuse, especially the tendency of the Bush administration to use the privilege to cover up criminal activity that should result in jail terms for high officials, the common law doctrine of state secrets privilege created in U.S. v. Reynolds needs to change. A statute regulating the use of classified information at trials would be nice.
Japan seems to have an obsession with foreigners as criminals. This despite (what I've heard) a rather obvious all-Japanese organized criminal underworld. Apparently, it's still possible in Japan to see business establishments that blatantly refuse to cater to foreigners. Sod 'em. I don't want to go badly enough that I'd subject myself to that mess.
No, 35 isn't too old to start school again. Some of my first-year law school classmates were over 40 when they started, and they also tended to do VERY well in their classes. Experience helps!
