It was also the same in Australia until late '99. At the time we had three networks who decided to go for a similar agreement.
There are ways around this. I use a Nokia so i'm not sure what the setting on your phone is called, but you need to change your mailbox number. You can usually find out numbers around the place and you need to change it for each carrier you want to send to. You could find out the mailbox number by asking a friend who is on that network.
I agree.
I also don't understand why these families are suing FOR MONEY. If they really want to make a positive contribution to society, money is not what they should be after.
These people should be lobbying government to put a code of practice in place. Put some kind of ratings on games, stop childrens access to violent games. Or they should be trying to get the games' producers to provide these kind of restrictions.
I can't see why these people would want to put themselves through another court trial, other than for the money, if they want to rest their minds and show good intention they should start trying to help the problem, rather than create another one.
Recently I was in a situation where I had locked myself out of the house without my mobile. Thankfully I ran down the street to my local payphone and called my mother reverse charges, who in turn called my flatmate and got her to come home and let me in.
If it wasn't for the public phone I could have been waiting hours in the cold for her to come home othrwise.
It seems all good, free software to cut down in licensing fees, but what about the cost to retrain staff?
Think of all the people out there who have never used anything except Microsoft, it will still be a costly exercise to train them all.
Long term this is a great idea, long term free software will save money, but it's the short term that most employers will be looking at.
During a recession most employers are looking to cut costs in the immediate to short term, they aren't thinking about the long term benefits and wouldn't want to shift to anything that will not only initially cost them in terms of retraining, but also in productivity as users adjust to new programs/set up.
Australia has been importing Japanese Carbonated milks for years, plain or flavoured, a little sweet though.
Besides do you really want to drink something that has been pasteurised, homogenised AND carbonated?

So you only feel comfortable making those statements as an anonoymous COWARD? You can't say it face to face?

Beer sounds great, but I live downunder, if you're ever down this way drop us a line, you can never have enough beer.
