I'm actually using the cr48 for -everything- at home. That's what I agreed to, so that's what I will do.
My only cheat is to ssh out to read mail. (It was rooted for a while, but I got bored of that... don't really need root to ssh out.. just ctrl-alt-T, and use the ssh in crosh... good enough for mutt.)
Yes, and "91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs."
There is no way (excepting visits to carefully chosen parallel universes, perhaps) to prove what the effects were.
After the legislation passed, there was MORE unemployment. So in one sense, yes, jobs were lost. Perhaps more jobs would be lost without the bill... we have no way of knowing, and dubious counting techniques interfere with any attempt to measure impact.
"72 percent believe the economy is getting worse"
Yes, and so do many economists.... it's certainly not getting a lot better.. stagnant? Yep. Suffering? You bet. Good? Um, no one says that. The best is "maybe it sucks less than last year" which is not exactly a rosy outlook.
"Your opinion is different from ours, therefore you are misinformed".
The things you say are true, but your post is a lie. MS added a lot more than that.
Facebook integration - photos, contacts, updates, and more.
Which you can get with an app, possibly preinstalled. (Verizon/Motorola's is actually annoying but whatever)
Live tiles - much more than just "shiny" because it really does provide "at a glance" info.
Right, unlike App Widgets on Android... oh, um, well exactly like them but much more boring.
Xbox Live gaming - huge deal for some people, and a clear differentiator. Zune integration - especially considering Zune Pass streaming over the air, there's a lot of excitement here.
Console Games are not the same as phone games. I'll stick with Pandora and Rhapsody.
Hardware standards - no fragmentation like WinMo and Android.
Copy/paste are coming in a few months. I agree that it should have been present to start, but seriously, this is a ridiculous thing to keep harping on as though it's going to kill the product.
So just when will it support either Flash or HTML5 element?
Actually the later is preferable for mobile sites: I don't want to force users to download a flash player to play a video they should be able to play natively.
It amazes me that so many fanboys pass over this omission.
Except for position:fixed annoyances (glaring at ios) I have web pages, with video that work on iOS, Android and Blackberry 6 with some very minor js to deal with ios's lame position support.... they won't work on WP7...
Even though your house has see-through windows, you still have a "reasonable" expectation of privacy in it, even if there is none.
Actually, you are wrong.
If you dangle your willy in the living room in front of a window, you CAN get prosecuted for indecent exposure -- you have no expectation of privacy while standing in front of a window.
But transmitting data on unregulated frequencies, IS an open invitation for people to receive that data.
Stay off the public airwaves if you don't want the public to receive your data.
Pay for your own frequencies if you wish to use the public airwaves and even then, encrypt your data if you don't want it seen.
Using unregulated frequencies that are listened to by any wifi device (turn on wifi on phone, "searching for networks"... THAT is receiving WiFi) and expecting not to be seen is just plain stupid.
Your open door analogy is BS.
Having an open WiFi is just as much an open invitation for packet capture as standing on your front porch and screaming so that anyone within a couple hundred feet can hear you.
Even with logs of every SMS, there is no proof that something isn't happening: "Okay, you're having an affair, but using a different phone or meeting in person! the LACK of SMS's proves that!"
Such people are soul suckers --- anyone who spies on their supposed partner with such nonsense is NOT a partner in any sense of the word, and needs to be dropped by the wayside to deal with their own issues.
If this software was truly trying to point out failures in relationships, it should inform the victim of this software, "Hi, I have logging software installed because your partner doesn't trust you... is your relationship secure?"
That could save more people from crappy relationships than any sort of spying it does.
someone would have to actually be part of your social circle to learn about you. That is no longer true, but we still have not quite caught up with that new reality.
It's not new. Here in Oregon (and in most states) voter registration is public record. Got a name? They'll look it up for you on the phone for free. DMV records are public, too: it's a bit spendy to buy them one at a time but surprisingly cheap to buy them all in machine readable formats. (Wonder how that mechanic knows you have a Honda to send you the "We specialize in Honda repairs!" flier? They bought a list from the DMV of all registered Honda owners...)
The local county will gladly sell a list of all properties, their assessed and real values, owners, square footage, number of bedrooms/baths, year built, etc.
None of this is new: it goes back for decades -- it's just easier to sort through now.
Yes, it seems problematic for privacy: on the flip side, when CA changed it's laws after Rebecca Schaeffer was killed (a stalker found her home address through DMV records), a lawyer friend of mine complained about how hard it was to find people in CA to send notifications of recovered property. The DMV would no longer give out addresses, so they had to jump through hoops to demonstrate a compelling legal need for that information.
Voter registration is public because of a need to verify the validity of the election rolls: think you have fraudulent voters in your district, you're empowered to wade through the data and look. (And not to mention every party wants to be able to get the a list of the self-selected members... if you claim to be a Democrat, the Democrats want to add you to their literature and 'get out the vote' drives...)
Nothing new at all... only the correlation of data is new, and that's not all that new: there was a guy busted here 20 years ago because he combined the list of "cars owned by women" with voter registrations looking for single women to send mail to. He was only busted because he happened to also work for a politician and didn't pay for the lists.
I've only seen D&H with legal threats (and since they didn't ship the fakes in question, it's very understandable that they are upset with the "fact checking" that wasn't done).
Your link says that D&H, not Newegg threatened legal action.
Considering that D&H did not sell the fakes to Newegg, well, they are justifiably upset that people are wrongfully blaming them.
IANAL, so I don't know if they have an actionable complaint, but your link doesn't show a Newegg legal threat, and, again, D&H is understandably pissed off that they were blamed when they had nothing to do with it.
I have SB2's in the living room and bedroom, a Boom that gets moved around, a Duet in the Office and Radio at work.
All sharing from the same library. Great WAF.
One of the best purchases in my life was my initial SB2, which is why I keep expanding the player count.
And, yes, they can sync.. or not: each player is capable of playing its own stream so if you want one thing in the living room and another in the bedroom that's fine.
Slashdot Mirror
And it's not even a checkbox you have to go looking for.
"Oh, hi, I see you want to install an APK directly. Do you want to enable this? Click here."
And the category of the story... ie, this is at tech.slashdot.org. And right before the title it says "Technology:"
Oh, yes, nukes have tech in them. Let's just post the whole Reuters newswire because that is delivered with technology!
Or, Brazil...
It is stagggering how much spam I see from IMP and Squirrelmail on *.gov.br servers.
If they can't stop spewing spam, why should I trust them to secure anything?
I'd mod you up if I had the points.

Did he win it because he pledged $100M to a school? I mean, that's pretty amazing.
Money won't solve the problems of education in this country.
POP3 and IMAP servers are not MDA's.
They don't "deliver" anything, and that is what the D in MDA is for.
Procmail, mail.local, deliver, etc are MDA's.
No he meant either Flash or HTML5 videos...
Oh, wait....

Tasker makes no attempt to hide itself. In fact, it nicely shows up in the status bar as running.
But, yes, Tasker is a great toy.

If you stand on a public street, it is legal to take pictures of anything you see: there is no expectation of privacy in public.
If you stand naked in your front yard, you have no expectation of privacy.
If you stand on your front porch and shout out your Visa number, you have no expectation of privacy.
If you buy a toy AM transmitter from Radio Shack and broadcast your SSN, you have no expectation of privacy.
But put it in cleartext on an 802.11g router... and you expect privacy?

(Only the Nexus one and some tablets have 2.2).
Wrong. Droid, Droid 2, Droid X from Motorola are all on 2.2.
HTC has several 2.2 Phones (Incredible, Evo 4G, Desire)
Your information is dated.
PS2 == FF10,12 (one less standalone Final Fantasy)
You left out FFX-2. So your total is inaccurate.
PS3 == FF13,15 (ditto)
Methinks you're guessing there unless you know the future.
What makes you believe MS is not evil?
The actions of MS are what make MS evil: not the actions of others.
However, since she can prove she loses money, she should ask the city to exempt her from ALL municipal taxes, as she is obviously a non-profit.
Being unprofitable is not the same as being a non-profit.
If they have the right buzzwords on their resume...
Ugh, if they have buzzwords on their resume, shoot them.
Using buzzwords is a cover for lack of actual experience.
Right, and the "custom 1GHz Apple A4 chip" uses an ARM core....
