I also can't see most Java applications with Beryl installed on my current Feisty machine. If I change from Beryl back to the KDE window manager, stuff shows up where prior there was just a big blank box (looked like the app froze, but it just would not display).
Public transportation. Seems relatively accessible from other places, and gets to downtown conveniently. I'm not sure why one, at the least, would need to drive into the downtown. To the edge, maybe, but that's about it.
New Brunswick, NJ had a rule similar to this -- alternate side parking for street cleaning, except in the fall and winter when various things limit the number of parking spaces available to begin with (or, perhaps the flip side: it's too hard to clean the street with snow or leaves piled up). Nice to see it's only an hour; where I live now, it's 12:00a to 6:00a.
First off, you don't have one -- neither do I -- I just know that the description of what people are apparently required to do to turn off that phone is the same as every other phone.
As for indication of whether it's been turned off or not... even if there were no indication, the phone is off if I turned it off. If I didn't, logic dictates it's still on. If I did something and the phone never mentioned it was going off (pretty much every phone I've ever seen does some sort of goodbye dance, often playing an obnoxious tune), I'd have to assume it wasn't off.
How do you turn off your phone? Run us through the steps. I suspect it is nearly identical, and requires you to press a button for a couple of seconds -- would that be correct? Walk us through it.
No, but everyone who's owned a cell phone before knows that they are not instant-on/instant-off and anyone who's never owned a cell phone before will need SOME instruction to use it. Where does that leave us in this case?
If by intuitive you mean "identical to every other smartphone on the market", and in fact, probably identical to most REGULAR cell phones on the market (name one phone that you can press the power button one time and it's off -- all require you to hold it), then yes, you're correct, extremely intuitive.
I can't think of a single smartphone that doesn't work this way. Problem here is dumb-asses getting ahold of smart-phones. If you are going to buy a $600 gadget that does almost everything under the sun, you need to at least go through the getting started/tutorial (which I'm sure this device has and explains this -- my Treo did).
It wasn't THAT recently that I took Constitutional Law (maybe 3-4 years ago), but if memory serves me correctly, this would likely not stand up to a constitutional challenge.
There's a real problem with the current packages, however... if you only want a few more channels than basic, you have to upgrade to a really high plan in order to get those few channels. There's a basic cable plan that doesn't offer even the relatively run of the mill channels like USA and A&E, and then there's "every damn channel." I could make do with fewer channels than I have, but basic is fairly useless.
Mobile screen covers all of the above. I took/take notes on my laptop, I use my phone (well, don't talk on it, but look at it) at the pub or theatre, outside at night, and use my laptop on the train or a plane at night... so... rather often?
Have you ever seen a machine that didn't have an FTP client? Server, perhaps, but there are at least two ways on basically all UNIX machines, if not 3, to get FTP access. Surely that's not likely to change. Server? Perhaps, but I call BS on client.
It can't be that trivial, because at times I get several per week. That's not that many, but it's a lot that has a high barrier to entry for SPAM. Spam filters can at least filter e-mail spam... there's nothing for that on either MySpace or Facebook that I can tell, other than the ability to "report" it, whatever that does.
Or you can do what my parents did with regional toll calling: tell your fucking kids not to send 250 messages because it costs money, and if they do, they are working that money off and not getting an allowance. How do people not understand this?
I've heard Verizon discontinued the unlimited plan, but have not verified that.
Problem is that most e-mail clients for smartphones do not appear to be push e-mail, which means that I'm not going to get an e-mail with the speed I'd get an SMS unless I'm actively checking. That's the only reason I use it -- that and IM clients for phones appear to think they're worth $35. Sorry, don't think so.

If teenagers want to live in the real world and communicate with other people, they'll stop changing their phone number and e-mail address every 15 mins. I personally don't have time for that shit -- if I send you mail and it bounces, it bounces. Not my problem.
I was a teenager rather recently and even I knew this shit.
Frankly, I think the bigger concern of most companies is data not being lost, but escaping. Most companies seem to want to find a way to protect documents from getting off the phone and onto a computer that is able to send the data anywhere... at least that's what I've read.
Improperly? Yes. Move out of America if you don't like the way the constitution works. If they can't build a case against these people the right way, then it must not be a good case.

Very inconvenient.

Many laptops have hinge problems. I've owned 2 Dells that had problems, just from normal use.
Why would one NEED to drive in Portland is the question I'm left with, after having visited there recently.
Street cleaning.
New Brunswick, NJ had a rule similar to this -- alternate side parking for street cleaning, except in the fall and winter when various things limit the number of parking spaces available to begin with (or, perhaps the flip side: it's too hard to clean the street with snow or leaves piled up).

Don't regular cellular phones have the same premise? One press for screen off, hold down for power off?
No, but everyone who's owned a cell phone before knows that they are not instant-on/instant-off and anyone who's never owned a cell phone before will need SOME instruction to use it. Where does that leave us in this case?

Bzzzt, wrong.
I get "I'm cute, please come fuck me tonight" spam all the time on there. I know I'm irresistible and all, but... I think the volume is suspicious.

And people like you use "you liberals" to corral unlike people together. Fuck the stupid epithets.
A law can be found unconstitutional, BTW. It's still a pretty important document.
Improperly? Yes. Move out of America if you don't like the way the constitution works. If they can't build a case against these people the right way, then it must not be a good case.
Yeah, exactly. What abuses of the PATRIOT Act? Nothing to see here.
But, in that case then, aren't they ripping out lines that were paid for with tax dollars? I think that's a problem, no?
