Europeans also pay far more per-minute of voice calls than American customers do. American companies make up for it by charging extra for data services.
The only complaint I have about carrier lock-ins is I can't always pick the phone apart from the carrier. Sure I can get an unlocked phone and try to buy just a SIM, but not all services work correctly.
Then you can transfer them to the phone with whatever expensive cables they sell or by IR, or by putting the tune on a wap-enabled apache server.
Not all carriers allow OTA (over the air) downloads of ringtones, wallpapers, or Java programs. I almost didn't get T-Mobile service because of this, but they were the only carrier with good reception in my area. AT&T (soon to be Cingular) is good about being open. I'm not sure where the other carriers stand.
Yep, that's what I meant. I don't see how I could've meant anything else. Anyways, Cryptonomicon had ungodly prose in some parts, but it was always fun. It always had pace. Remember the part where Randy's (modern geek?) grandfather was dueling with his WW2 duffel bag? Quicksilver had none of those moments, or at least the first 200 pages didn't.
I never touched Baroque Cycle because Quicksilver made me want to stab my eyes out with a dull spoon. Eventually I just snapped after Stephenson felt he had to described the cityscape of London for the zillionth time. Cryptonomicon was fun, but it's as if he took the worst of that book and magnified it to create Quicksilver.
First, the TSA people on the ground have to use some freaking common sense. It kind of disturbs me that the people on the ground can't recognize someone like Kennedy. On the news yesterday, they said some other bozo has been using "Edward Kennedy" as an alias. I can see some lesser known people being stopped, but seriously... who hasn't seen Kennedy?
Have you ever seen the Tonight Show? One part of the show is Jay Leno walking around Hollywood Blvd showing pictures of government officials to strangers. Very few people can recognize the President, let alone a famous senator. For some reason everyone always recognizes Mr. T though.
I don't think that's to say that Windows shouldn't do everything. I just disagreed with the style of argument. An OS manufacturer should be able to do whatever they want with the content of their OS. Apple does this all the time. The problem comes when you leverage your market standing to purposely limit the opportunities of other companies in the industry. Apple thought IE and Netscape Navigator were sub-par browsers, which led them to develop Safari and bundle it with Mac OS X. Microsoft didn't want to lose marketshare to Netscape, which led them to threaten PC manufacturers that wanted to bundle Netscape Navigator with new machines. There's a difference.
Wait, a commercial firewall developer thinks Microsoft's free firewall isn't up to the challenge? Wow, what a surprise! What if Microsoft had put a full-fledged firewall into SP2? The same companies would be whining about how Microsoft bullied them out of the market.
Was the bosses machine his primary source of doing work? If you're the boss you're in meetings all day and out telling people what to do, not sitting in your office typing away. Also, I've left a game of freecell going during a 2 hour meeting before or during lunch. That doesn't mean I'm derilict in my duties.
I personally don't consider a band experimenting and dabbling in different musical styles (which is pretty much what U2 has done with every one of their albums) to be pissing on their fans. In fact, I think if anything I would say it's more pandering to release album after album that sounds exactly the same, though that would include some of my favorite bands
I would agree if making a techno album weren't the trendy thing to do at the time. Pop isn't that horrid of an album, even some songs are alright. But to take a a band like U2 who had put out some of the greatest works of the 80's, which are still incredible today, and see them sink to hipster pop techno was an embarassment.
$98? Try $30. Dell is just trying to make Apple look bad by using this program to advertise iPod problems, which have been grossly overstated. My 1G 10GB iPod still gives me 6+ hours per charge. I know at least 10 other people with older iPods and none of them have had battery problems.
Phone companys have to pay the other phonecomapanys for sending an SMS though there network..
each one of those SMSs could of cost the phonecompany 5-10cents..
It's not as high as 5-10 cents, but the companies still have to pay each other based on contract agreements for interoperability. The hardware costs for a carrier sending a text message to their own clients is enormous. SS7 connectivity is millions of dollars for small fries, and ridiculous amounts more for larger ones. It isn't like IP networks where you plug in your Linksys router and you're good to go. Also, SMSC's can cost $1million+ alone (good ones) that have per second message rate limits on them. If the rate limit is exceeded, the owning company gets billed extra and the SMSC can even shut itself down.
Funny, but it's true, when the call is recursive. The tail call optimization causes a recursive function to execute in constant space, which is a pretty significant optimization.
The algorithm will only operate in constant space correctly if the recursive call doesn't pass a variable by value on the stack that indirectly references another value currently on the stack. Meaning, don't pass a pointer to a stack allocated variable to a tail-call optimized recursive function that will overwrite the current functions stack activation frame. This (and pointer aliasing) are why C can't as a general rule tail-call optimize. A language such as Java can do it, but tail-call optimization sets the stack pointer to the original stack pointer of the preceeding call. Thus giving the current function to the last function's stack address space, which can be a security problem.

Vibrator? From the top-down it looks astonishingly like a vagina, especially the red one.
No, that's what vi is for.
No, that's what vim is for.
Now all we need is for some snarky Emacs user to chime in and we're good. Maybe even a pico user, but who cares about them?

I think MS has prior art on this one. Their programs have been executing at a higher than normal privilage level for awhile.

I wonder how the guy was caught. Oh, and there's a picture of a spy in the lower right hand corner.

People have already been tracking all things Bungie for a long time. You don't need no stinking new fangled Wiki.

to me this is like U2 pissing on their fans, all in the interest of making a few extra bucks.
They've done it before. You've heard their album Pop, haven't you?
They even have ones for newer models and minis.

Why couldn't you do it with Ruby? Mixins work fine.

Why would an editor even accept this story? Be it Macworld or Slashdot. Wow, viruses hiding as warez! What a concept!
WPA breaks WDS though. Doh!
