you should check out what leo laporte is doing with http://live.twit.tv/ he says that he gets as many viewers for his flagship show as tech tv ever got on cable. Sure the network only runs for like 30 hours a week, but the staff is TINY. This is the wave of the future.
It is my understanding that in Europe you pay nothing for incoming calls, but twice as much for outgoing calls as in the US. The same for text messages. Not sure how landline -> cell calls are charged (if at all).
some of your ideas sound a lot like OpenDoc. The problem with OpenDoc was that it was dog slow on the hardware at the time. That and nobody wanted to support it.
you should see the UI on their high end equipment. When you're using it every day, you get used to it, but it's definitely not like any other program i've used before.
so the excuse to not boycot sprint is that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing? fuck that, i'm boycotting sprint as an entire company.
were you thinking of this? Steve forced the removal of the diagnostic port from the original Macintosh because he thought it could be used for augmenting the system. X_X
Burrell decided to add a single, simple slot to his Macintosh design, which made the processor's bus accessible to peripherals, that wouldn't cost very much, especially if it wasn't used. He worked out the details and proposed it at the weekly staff meeting, but Steve immediately nixed his proposal, stating that there was no way that the Mac would even have a single slot.
But Burrell was not that easily thwarted. He realized that the Mac was never going to have something called a slot, but perhaps the same functionality could be called something else. After talking it over with Brian, they decided to start calling it the "diagnostic port" instead of a slot, arguing that it would save money during manufacturing if testing devices could access the processor bus to diagnose manufacturing errors. They didn't mention that the same port would also provide the functionality of a slot.
This was received positively at first, but after a couple weeks, engineering manager Rod Holt caught on to what was happening, probably aided by occasional giggles when the diagnostic port was mentioned. "That things really a slot, right? You're trying to sneak in a slot!", Rod finally accused us at the next engineering meeting. "Well, that's not going to happen!"
And i got a refurb MacBook this spring (2.2 Ghz C2D, 4 GB RAM, 120 GB HD and 2 and a half years of AppleCare - i'll sell it to you for $1000 so i can get a new one!) and haven't had a single issue.
I'll see your random antictdote and raise you AppleCare!
Just look at all the hassle we have to go through at the airports because some British nutjob tried to blow up a home-made shoe bomb. Or all the 3 oz container rules because of some rumor that you could assemble a chemical bomb from component parts in an airliner's lavatory.
did you hear that they couldn't even convict? now they're trying to retry them under double jeopardy!
Unless you have a graphics card installed... all the RAM in the graphic card is in the same address space as the system RAM, so if you have a 1 GiB graphics card, than your 32bit windows system can only address 3 GiB of RAM before any paging happens!
Part of the devastation of New Orleans was brought on by themselves. They got their FEMA handouts after losing their homes, and what did they do with the FEMA money? They bought giant TVs and vedged out infront of them in the shelter instead of using the money to rebuild their lives.
I saw this first hand and it made me feel like shit because I tried to help those lazy ungrateful fuck tards.
Thats what they said about IE6 - you don't HAVE to write your web pages twice (once for standards and once for microsoft) but if you don't, you're cutting out a huge portion of your audience;)
I can't speak for IE, but safari pops up a sheet telling the user that the site has an untrusted cert with 3 options: use the cert once (you'll get the warning again,) always trust this site, and don't load the page. i think this is how firefox should behave (perhaps even loading the page and then warning the user)

so if the market that AAPL is traded in is closed.... how is there after hours trading? O_o

The WebKit team and anyone who ever contributed to it should also get praise.
How about giving the KHTML team some credit for writing WebKit?
i think that the KHTML team does fall under "anyone who ever contributed". ;)

boycot sprint for fracturing the internet

If Apple hadn't invented (or backed) so many non-mainstream technologies to start with then we'd all still be using DOS.

the problem is that when the fed creates a dollar, they create more than one anti-dollar, spiraling into massive debt.
this video explains it in lay mans terms pretty well. but by all means, DO YOUR OWN REASEARCH!
Depending on who you ask, the Federal Reserve Bank (as Federal as Federal Express btw) created the great depression in the first place!
the crack that is floating around (arrrr!) will let you run spore on your non-internet pc. bonus irony points if you do it with a retail copy.

News flash: The recession has come and gone, it's a depression now.
yeah, the beta version has a known bug... it bytes.

there is a new star wars coming out. I couldn't care less. How bout you?
May I recommend 1984?
I think Lucas needs a kaleidoscope like they have in the fiction department.

I think changing the rules in the middle of the game is something Hit^H^H^H George W Bush would do :P
