Just imagine where we would be today if that nonsense had never existed in the first place.
I'd guess that we'd have much more usable software that worked well together and was more secure and efficient, vs. crap that was done just to avoid a ridiculous patent infringement.
put opera mini on it. I use mini's RSS reader all the time from my blackberry to keep up to date on stuff while sitting around in doctor's offices, car service, etc. Being able to easily make your own 'search engines' from a form on any web site is really nice too. Weather underground, IMDB for example. Google's mobile pages work great (movies, news) too. The killer app for me isn't really the web browser though, but google's calendar sync. And if you have a curve, or something with gps, google maps is a must have app as well.

Not only is Ledger's joker crazy. He is frighteningly out of his mind. And not in a playful manner, but in a sadistic, testing, calculating, and homicidal manner. Ledger plays a joker that if you ever saw him in the street, you would run in the opposite direction as fast as you could.
Most GPS units I've seen aren't terribly accurate with speed and distance. Why? Because when they do those calculations, despite the fact that they have altitude data, they typically don't use it. This will result in a lower than actual speed/distance, as the calculations are based on a flat projection rather than the actual distance travelled.
This becomes really apparent if you compare what a gps says your speed/distance is compared to your dialed-in computer on a bicycle.
I have jivetalk too, but haven't really used it too much. The SMS trick will definitely change that.
Question: Does jivetalk have the ability to do a 'one time' buddy that is a phone number from the address book (ie, if I want to SMS somebody via AIM, just pick them from my address book?) *that* would be nice, since I don't really want a list of phone numbers uploaded as buddies for when I'm at a real computer.
I can't see for myself at the moment, working in the secure area I do and such.
and wtf would one want to enable pop on a server that is already doing IMAP just fine? Maybe google should implement IMAP checking, then I wouldn't have to forward (it's temporary until my own web server is back online, but it certainly is convenient).
Yahoo isn't interested - give it up MS! They don't want to tarnish their good name.
They've pretty much already done that on their own. I used to use yahoo for services, google for search. Yahoo maps *used* to be the best mapping app out there, but then google outdid them. At that point in time, I still used Yahoo for movies and tv listings. They screwed those up horribly, and Google did better with their movie listings.
Yahoo was on top. They became complacent. Then in an effort to 'catch up' they alienated their user-base by releasing unusable crap.
Try typing on your flip/sideways phone with one hand and get back to me. I do this all the time on my blackberry (cue the masturbation jokes). Seriously, thought. It is nice to use a handheld device with one hand while eating, looking at a google map, browsing almighty zeus, etc.
if you 'red key' a running app on a blackberry, it puts it in the background. You can then assign the task list to one of the convenience keys (left, on my phone). You can then easily flip-flop from writing memos, to looking at web pages, ssh, etc. You can even do all of this while talking on the phone (but I don't recommend it...data becomes dreadfully slow when using voice, even on the edge network).
If I read this right, you have to hit a button multiple times to change the color (yuk, this is why I finally replaced my old cell with a blackberry to talk to a txt-addicted g/f). What is the implication of this, if any? Ie, your combo would be something like: 3322241116777
WPS was quite a good interface. Nothing has been as good yet since, IMO. The java-based firewall configuration tool on the AS400 (yeah, who does that??) is quite nice as well, although having to define everything down to the core objects is initially quite time consuming.
So Obama supporters have voted with their hearts and aren't realizing how idealistic they are being. Is it really worth the risk of having republican bullshit for the next 4 years?
What makes you think that democrat bullshit is any better? Neither party serves the interests of the people in this country.
They can and SHOULD charge you for zombie traffic. Matter of fact, they should charge you double for it once they notify you of said traffic coming from your setup.
Actually, a better solution would be to redirect all your web requests to a 'this is how to fix it' page until the traffic isn't coming from your setup any more. I'm sure someone is about to complain about how their grandma can't understand what that means and she just wants to see pictures of her grandkids.. cry me a river. Zombified systems are a threat to everyone on the network.
Yeah, that's brilliant. Comcast thinks my mail server is 'infected with a virus' due to the list traffic I send.
In addition, everything sent to the BES is encrypted (3des, I believe?), with options for VPN to the office. I don't know much about it, but I do have one for personal use with BIS, and the encryption is there too. With BIS, however, you are trusting blackberry's servers with your mail and internet proxying.
This has been the gist of all the arguments. *that* isn't probably something you could do in real life. Video games are great for that. But you can play on a real board, and not even go arial and get a whole heck of a lot more fun out of it than playing on a balance board, IMNSHO. Yeah, ok, it's a harder sport to learn than skiing or cycling, but the rewards are great too.

I stumbled upon this gem while looking for a quick way to enable/disable forwarding on my blackberry:

Well, that's the whole problem right there. We don't want to secure it, we're trying to open it up!

Mostly. But google maps is an obvious counter-example.
I have 3 of them. Thank goodness for ebay!
Ah, you beat me to it. I remember reading about transparisteel when reading one of the spinoff books.

Bikes too.
It used to be you'd replace a few bearings in a bottom bracket, re-pack, and be good to go. Same for hubs. Now you replace the whole thing.

Don't let them have a computer. Getting mine is when my interest in all of that other cool stuff faded.

'tis what the mountain bike is for :-)
