I suspect this may be partly because of an attempt at spam filtering since many spammy emails have attachments.
Quite the opposite.
Fyi., typical spams are less than 100K overall, so majority of the commercial spam filters are not scanning mails for spamming when individual size exceeds 500K. Of course you could change the default, but the performance would be dragged down severely.
When I first read the story I'm not really too concerning about your right my right (I'm not an American citizen anyway). I'm rather interested in knowing the heuristics behind the data mining.
Data mining of such a large scale is so cool. The most time consuming task of data mining research is always the acquisition of relevant data for testing your heuristics and, most importantly, developing a new heuristics. The larger the mining sample size, the better the chance you come up with a better heuristic.
May be they should reveal the heuristics behind. Ok I'm going back to bed.
Once I asked a Japanese developers what came to his mind when comparing Japan-based console (e.g. PS3, Wii, etc.) and US-based consoles (e.g. XBox 360):
Japan based consoles manufacturers care about the reaction of traditional Japanese parents so they tend to sell games with relatively 'clean' contents(even the external game developers are aware of their concern). That'd be in contrast with your believes in Japanese culture when looking at their AV and H productions, but think about the major market segment of game consoles in Japan comprised of very young children, this could be understandable.
What I want to say is, Ken Kutaragi faced the major challenge from Wii, not XBox 360, in Japan.
....Actually, I wanted to talk about bouncing tits not Ken Kutaragi from the very beginning, sorry.
There are too many local discount cell phone producers that make phones that work all over the world for that to be even remotely true. Please provide sources. You really tried that around the world, or just a claim?
The news itself is the source. What bother Apple so much for deals that you believe they could be done without?
Complete bluff from start to finish. These is no such phone model type blocking on GSM. If a particular phone hasn't worked for you with a valid SIM, it's because that particular phone is locked to another network. NOT that the phone type is rejected as being unknown.
The phone and sim locking to a particular network is customer-level restriction, and that's something mobile manufacturers like Apple doesn't care about; while I'm talking about mobile-level locking which is dealing with mobile manufacturers not individual customer or phone.
Call it bluff and tell that to Apple, go go. Jobs would really thank you for your great discover that could save him billions of useless deals that he could do without. In return he'd give you at least millions for your big help. XD
[quote]Sorry, that's just not so. I bought an unlocked Treo 650, stuck in my T-Mobile SIM (and T-Mobile does NOT offer the 650) and it Just Worked (tm) - like GSM is supposed to do.[/quote]
So...you made that Treo 650 yourself?
Or, Palm has already made deals with major mobile carriers prior to manufacture Treo 650?
You mixed up customer-level locking and mobile-level locking. The latter is done by manufacturers to register a unique identifier of a particular model of mobile phone with major mobile carriers.
In your case, major mobile carriers has already recognized 'Treo 650', the locking you're talking about is just consumer-level restriction.
I don't know about T-Mobile, but Palm doesn't has to strike deal directly with T-Mobile in order to get connected. The deal sometime are in form of transferrable agreements among mobile-carriers in the same area. It looks like Apple has to strike individual deals with each area in the country, but in fact it's not. Apple only has to strike deal with major carriers, and the carriers have their inter-connection agreements to let iPhone thru. I may not get into too much details into this.
And yes, iPhone will work on any GSM carrier; that's the whole purpose of standards like GSM, and iPhone is a GSM phone. Network-specific functionality (such as visual voicemail) will not work, but the phone and basic voicemail functionality, data functionality, etc., will absolutely work.
I believe you know much about the technical aspect of GSM, and yes GSM is a standard. However, that doesn't mean a GSM-compliant phone can connect to any mobile carriers without prior agreements.
For example, you cannot make a GSM-compliant phone and then plug your GSM SIM into it and talk. You simply couldn't connect to the carrier, they'd just reject to connect to your unrecognized mobile phone, unless you as a "mobile manufacturer" striked a deal with them in advance.
The mobile carriers must recognize your mobile phone for your GSM SIM to work, they won't let any other mobile from manufacturers without deals with them. That's one of the revenue sources of mobile carriers and you just can't refuse to comply.
They wrongs with the whole iPhone thing is that Jobs was rather new to this business and he shouldn't have push iPhone to the market prior to striking deals with mobile carriers. Since you've put iPhone into manufacturing, accepted orders and marketed it already, mobile carriers know you've little left to bargain on the table but to comply with their unfavourable terms of deals, like the nonesense about paying monthly bills. Apple has nothing to bargain at this stage but to accept them.
You seem to ignore my last sentence: Putin can choose to ignore the fact that WMD sucks. He could have given WMD the highest esteem for his political manipulation.
If you hired a guy raise up his hands and tell the world that you've installed a new defense system, Putin would make the same threat, too.
This is politics, come on. He wants you put put down your defense, by politics not by technological superority. I found your technical detail interesting, but I also found my hand-raising defense system as effective, too.
BTW, I found irony in your righteous comment as an Anonymous Coward. ^o^
Thanks for your post finally surfaced so that we could comment on.
Any defense is effectively lower the ability of Russian to fight back when under attacked. Russian has all the right the tell the world that their nation is at risk of increasing threat against warfare.
You may still refuse to accept such bullshit game theory, but if I told you instead Russian has installed a defense system that could effectively block any attack from NATO, then I'm sure your president would alarm for the safety of his people.
And I'm sure Putin is the only one in the world who'd give WMD's effectiveness highest esteem. ^_^
Not only online games, messenger (im.qq.com), forums, chatrooms, etc. could generate revenue from their users by virtual items sales/exchange. Be it clothes, sunglasses, necklace, decorations for your small home, pets, etc. that'd just cost 1 RMB or so for each, a user would at least spent 1 RMB, a million gives a million RMBs, and a million is just a typical user base for even a lousy game/forums that few programmers could have been made. All those virtual items in different places look alike, because they're just copying from each others.
What is the incentive to buy virtual items? If you don't, you'd look cheap, look unimportant and unnoticable, not to mention some items could give you the edge among the community.
He failed to recognize himself from his own mistakes, plays monkey-dance in front of human of 120 average-IQ and breaks into chair-throwing fury whenever the word 'Linux' is being mentioned. He is also our closest evolutionary cousin that we choose to deny having relationship with. A group of world smartest nerds argue that this is proof enough that Ballmer, a 51-year-old human, deserves to be treated like a chimp.
Which, once again, proves why the semantic web and web services will never fly. Companies don't want to make their data and services available to each other.
Well, I beg the differ, please bear with me.
SOAP is based on an idea of giving APIs to external parties for accessing information the way the information-owners want it. SOAP might be bad, but the idea is sound. Thinking about the traditional and dirty way to do the same thing: write scripts to 'post' webpages and extract the return pages. You can imagine slight changes in webpage layout could render the original extraction scripts useless, and that kind of information extraction might not be the owners' desire.
In short, things SHOULD be done this way, but Google doesn't like this implementation(SOAP). Google might want to adopt other implementation, that's what we'd like to know.
