Yeah, but i'd still be a LOT more comfortable if people who understood the technology and its developmental trends were at least assisting in the creation of legal material that governs it, y'know?
I wouldn't be any more or less comfortable, but I'm sure it would happen that way.
<SARCASM> Yeah, just like it currently happens in the US, UK, Australia, etc... </SARCASM>
Because when we added a HD to an embedded system (back in '89), we needed some sort of file system, and FAT was well documented, had PD tools available for formatting partitions, and writing data, etc...?
Sounds like my land line "number portability fee" that dosen't seem to work if you move out of your area code...
Well, think about it. Your number includes area code. Also, if you move out of area code, there's no guarantee that someone else isn't already using your (7-digit) number.
I've had problems with my switchover, but I will say that all the T-Mobile customer service people I have spoken with have been understanding, courteous, and done what they could to help. Unfortunately, unless I went through the 2 hour hold at the Transfer Center, they couldn't do much.
The one time I sat through the hold (blessings on my speakerphone land line!), I got someone, and my wife's phone activated within 4 hours. Of course, my phone is still waiting... I think there was a typo -- T-Mobile service called me to inquire about an oddball activation date.
My wife's phone was in TX only mode (RX on the old handset) for 24 hours (T-Mobile), and my phone number STILL hasn't been transferred (after 6 days)! I've been on the phone with T-Mobile customer service every friggin day!
On 11/26, I bought two phones from T-Mobile, and switched my service from AT&T to T-Mobile. One phone took 5 days to transfer, the other still hasn't transferred. I'm filing a complaint with the FCC and the CA PUC.

I think that story is an urban legend, but if you've ever used Huffman coded data, Huffman himself used to tell this story:
He was flunking information theory at MIT, and his prof told him he'd pass if he solved mimimal redundancy coding. So he did, and invented Huffman codes.
<HUMOR> Of course, as his students at UCSC, we used to believe that his roommate solved it, and Huffman killed him for the solution (and hid the body)... </HUMOR>

Sounds like we need the "IF I EVER MEET YOU, I WILL KICK YOUR ASS" guy back, just to deal with Darl!

Dude, you obviously need to add tags, based on some of the replies... :-)
No, CDs use ISO 9660, but if this works, they'll probably try to shake down people for the Joliet extensions.

That's lamb's blood, you insensitive clod!
Did you call the stock customer service, or the transfer center?
More specifically, what number (and/or menu selections) did you call?

Their CS is great. The transfer service sucks.
I had almost exactly 2 hours before I got through to their National Transfer Center.
4 hours! He was f-ing lucky.

The XP DDK is essentially free (cost of media), and the WinNT and Win2K DDKs are free, but the Windows IFS kit runs US$1000.
Any of the recipients in California? They could probably sue Diebold under CA's anti-SLAPP laws.
And most of that is political. The food is there and already exists.
So there's an alien fetus there?
No, it should be something to do with Leave it to Beaver.
I thought you had to run Windows to use Front Page?

Shouldn't that be the "SCO-nish Inquisition"?
OK, it's a dumb joke. Mod me into oblivion. Please.
