* Symbian C++ for "native applications" provides the richest set of capabilities
o Access: to over 20,000 APIs to provide compelling applications using technologies such as WiFi, GPS, DVB-H, HSDPA, IMS, multi-megapixel cameras, multi-GB storage, biometrics, industry leading security, 3D hardware accelerated graphics, tilt-sensors, DNLA and uPnP (Universal Plug and Play), demand paging, VoIP and much more...
o Integration: complete integration into the phones user experience
o Performance: native applications span a much wider range of categories and command a higher price
* P.I.P.S. is POSIX on Symbian OS provides Standard C libraries for enhanced portability and re-use of existing C code and components
* Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, OPL, and FlashLite sit on top of the existing architecture with limited access to the code libraries.These programming languages allow for porting between the various user interfaces that are based on Symbian OS and therefore allow for a larger audience reach.Additionally the graphics capabilities are highly suited to games and entertainment applications
*.NET is C# and Visual Basic on Symbian OS and popular for enterprise applications
* Browser based applications (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, Widgets) and improved browsing experience on latest smartphones, allow information (e.g. standard pages and RSS feeds) as well as Web 2.0 applications to easily be targeted to mobile devices as well as the desktop
* Browser based applications (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, Widgets) allow access to pop mail as well as online calendars and applications such as m.facebook.com and goosync which will match your Symbian Smartphone calendar with your gmail calendar. All Symbian smartphones can support a full web browser with rich 'full web' functionality
Well, actualy the shyster wants a bit more than the slashdot summary says:
The subpoena commands production of "all documents pertaining to the setup, financing, running, research, maintaining the website http://www.neurodiversity.com" - including but not limited to material mentioning the plaintiffs - and the names of all persons "helping, paying or facilitating in any fashion" my endeavors. The subpoena demands bank statements, cancelled checks, donation records, tax returns, Freedom of Information Act requests, LexisNexis® and PACER usage records. The subpoena demands copies of all of my communications concerning any issue which is included on my website, including communications with representatives of the federal government, the pharmaceutical industry, advocacy groups, non-governmental organizations, political action groups, profit or non-profit entities, journals, editorial boards, scientific boards, academic boards, medical licensing boards, any "religious groups (Muslim or otherwise), or individuals with religious affiliations," and any other "concerned individuals."
I just lurve the bit about "religious groups (Muslim or otherwise).
Progress is more or less Soyuz without a re-entry system. Those russkies believe in reusable systems - reusability of the design rather than idiotic reusability of the vehicle.
At the extreme end of things, I can think of countries (like Rwanda) that probably have no laws against genocide, but whose citizens actively participated in genocide.
Who has or needs a law against "genocide"? Name me a country that doesn't have a law against murder.
You seem to have some strange idea that we need laws against all bad things, but that we can recognize bad things only after they have happened.
I also don't see why you keep blathering on about "arrogance". Maybe you want a retrospective law against it?
At the moment politicians can't even agree on what constitutes genocide!!!
Uh, not true:
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
* (a) Killing members of the group;
* (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
* (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
* (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
* (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
You seem to belong to that group of people who thing that fundamental parts of sane legal systems should be torn up just to get some "bad people", who, at least in all the cases you've cited so far could be got by existing laws. You also seem to have a touching faith that such radical changes of the law would only ever be used against such "bad people".
I think making a law retro-active does have its applications however. For example, when there is an obvious case of "abuse" (and there are no existing laws, or there are loop-holes to allow for exploitation).
Wrong, wrong, wrong. If there is no law against it then in what sense is it an "abuse"?
Have you never done something legal that someone, somewhere may thing is "bad"? How would you like it if your past actions were declared illegal?
Law is about dissuading people from doing the things that society thinks they shouldn't do. Retroactive law makes a mockery of this - no-one could know where they stand.
So there are a few things that can't be done without signing the app, from platform security:
The Extended capabilities include:
PowerMgmt Grants the right to power off unused peripherals, switch the
phone into/out of standby state and power phone down
ProtServ Grants the right to a server to register with a protected name.
Protected names start by a "!". The kernel will prevent
servers without ProtServ capability from using such a name,
and therefore will prevent protected servers from being
impersonated.
ReadDeviceData Grants read access to phone confidential settings or data
SurroundingsDD Grants access to the surroundings device driver
SwEvent Grants the right to generate software key and pen events
TrustedUI Grants the right to create a trusted UI session, and therefore
to display dialogs in a secure UI environment
WriteDeviceData Grants write access to phone confidential settings that
control the phone's behaviour
I guess I can live with that.
Hehehe "surroundings device driver" - real spyware.
Unsigned apps can access the network (see for example putty), play run stuff on the screen (see for example quake, dooom), run in the background, read & write files and so on.
I can't seem to find this famous list of things an unsigned app can't do.
In December 2001, Jim Farrelly, a 45-year-old Californian, died after a long battle with Aids.
It was over a year later that his mother, Joyce Zamazanuk got a phone call.
"This young woman said we have got some of your son's body parts in our morgue," she said.
The call had come from Riverside, California, where police had made a gruesome discovery in a local crematorium.
In the loft space above chapel and crematory ovens they found a collection of freezers full of dismembered body parts wrapped in cellophane.
The crematorium owner, Michael Brown, had set up as a tissue broker supplying doctors and medical device companies with bits of the bodies he was meant to be cremating.

Sony include a DVD reader in their linux-based "instant-on" software on Vaio laptops.
You are djb and I claim my $1000.

This must be the first time in weeks I don't get a Russian Brides ad.
How odd.
Uh, maybe let the user do it themselves?
Apples & oranges.
You shouldn't compare programming in J2ME to the iPhone SDK, you should be using the Symbian API directly.
J2ME is for when you want your app to run on non-Symbian phones.
I'd kill any colleague of mine who wrote such a vacuous comment. With a golf club, in front of its cow-orkers to drive the lesson home,
2 gigs of ram? Which version of the eee is this?
eee 900 = 1g ram + 20g flash
eee 701 = 512m ram + 4g flash
eee 700 = 512m ram + 2g flash
There is supposed to be a 8g flash version somewhere.
You seem to have missed the point that the SLAPP is being made by an anti-vaccination group to harass a pro-vaccination website.

Insightful? Slashdot idiot sheep!
I pulled it out of my arse of course.
I'm not counting Java ME as a SDK.
For similar reasons.
You can get them now? At some point people were complaining that the developer certificate thing was a black hole.
Thanks for finding that.

Your reality is being distorted.
What you say would make sense if the iphone were the only mobile phone in the world.
But it's not.
Other phones let you write and run your own software.
Has the phone network crashed? I think not.
The w910 is not a smartphone.
The definition of a smartphone is that it has a SDK.
Very nice looking phone though.

You never use memmove(3)?
