The OpenMoko is a GSM phone. The only primary networks using GSM in the US right at the moment are Cingular and T-Mobile. Verizon and Sprint/Nextel are CDMA...
Not the cheap product problems. The damn DRM. If you didn't worry about protecting mostly excrement and produced quality results and improved tech, things would probably work out better. But they want you to pay and pay and pay and pay.
Heh... Good thing I have little desire for most TV and most movies these days, eh?
Because while there IS misogeny about it's not as "prevalent" as people would have you believe.
In fact, there's a lot more misandry going about than there's misogyny going about these days. All one has to do is open their eyes and look about at what's being done.
And, it doesn't make it any more okay because it's "part of the culture".
If I did something stupid like this, I'd be up on charges of manslaughter. So would you.
It doesn't mean you wouldn't get off (You might...but you'd still get tried for it in most cases...)- but just because it's a radio station (or other business) doesn't let you off of culpability for this sort of thing.
Considering the BS sabre rattling MS has been doing via Ballmer with regards to "potential" Patent problems with Linux it might be strategic instead of stupid. As long as we have the stupidity of Patents in their current form, it's inevitable that you will have companies doing this sort of thing.
I honestly thought that it was Feminazis... They've got similar goals, "being damaged by porn", etc. I'm sure you could get confused, but if you look at all the REST of the insanity that passes for laws in this country, they're misandrist as hell.
Feminists. If it were religious zealots, none of that would be there.
Considering that I don't need VMWare (WINE does nicely, thank you - and I do Own Crossover...:-) and that I provide Linux games...
I can't comment on Kylix 3 because I've not tried it, but since 1 and 2 were something of a disappointment, I'll stand by my too little, too late comment.
But that reasoning is flawed. You see, all it takes is recruiting one of numerous zombie-net spammers to do your dirty work. No way you're going to get caught. If you go at it from a Hotel room, you're possibly going to get caught.
They're intercepting all of the SMTP traffic outbound ostensibly to prevent spammers from renting a room for the night and using their "high-speed" access to cover their tracks. Since my SMTP server can use the alternate authenticated (and SSL encrypted) ports, they're not dinking with my email right at the moment- either way. Their little mail proxy engine is like an open relay and gets rejected by other mailservers if they've got those sorts of countermeasures on. I'd sent some emails to my friends and wife back home to my personal domain- got a bounce that didn't make any sense- it was coming from ME, through what claimed to be a symantec based mailserver. I promptly changed access methods and have had no issues since- I'm not going through their garbage for anything but the web- soon, I probably won't even be doing that much.
I had to quit at trying to read the second. The first book in the series was okay- decent enough to rate me being interested in seeing where he was going to take the arc in the second book. He kind of lost and bored me in the second book- so I gave up on it.
I'd had my suspicions, but budget precluded me trying one as an experiment. Thank you for that useful public service announcement couched in sarcasm...:-)
The odds are extremely good that you have a RealTek NIC on your machine if it's an integrated part.
There's several reasons for this.
It's cheap. It works VERY well, though not the best that money can buy. It's completely open in it's documentation and relatively easy to design with.
Those three things make me think of using their part first- especially the open information part. It's no different for any other engineer. I can assure you, they're about to get a batch of people on the scene that are customers that will insist on this stuff being the case. Customers that are are going to be big enough to not ignore and won't take "NO" for an answer as they'll find someone else if they get it.
The Linux crowd has a natural dislike for products that don't work well and cost money. We've little issues with paying money for things that work right. Kylix was a feeble attempt on Borland's part, done far, far too late to make any difference in things.
Even IF you're in great shape, High Fructose Corn Syrup, the stuff that they've adulterated every bit of your food supply with, will dramatically increase your chances of getting Type II Diabetes ANYWAY. It causes nasty, ugly swings of blood sugar levels because it resides in your blood stream because it is present there, insulin doesn't get rid of it, but your pancreas senses sugar, and the only organ in your body that can directly USE it is your liver. You end up getting fat if you take in too much Fructose- even if you're fit. You end up with Insulin resistance in spite of you being fit because of the insulin spikes induced by the sugar in question.
It's a handful of things really- and telling someone to just get on a freaking treadmill isn't the answer. It's a BUNCH of things, including some that actually DO need a pill to fix the problem.
...but from the PR standpoint, it's a WIN. I'm all for discouraging Windows use, but I'm also one for personal choice. And if it means someone has to give people crutches in the short-term to score points in the long run so be it.
Heh... The Sun classpath's not GPLed yet. If the GNU Classpath is as close as both of us think, there'll be some merging with only one, the combined effort will result. It's GPLed after all.
In reality, Java's got it's place. But if you're trying to push massive volumes of data or need deterministic operation, Java's NOT the choice. The GC will always cut in at the worst possible times, impacting your ability to respond to data, etc. YOU try collecting 30 Gbytes of uncompressed data daily with it sometime. We did use Java for front-ends to process the feeds coming from the trading markets at one of my previous jobs, but the stuff that aggregated it and sent it to the trading engine and preserved it on disk was all PURE C++ code. The Java stuff couldn't cut it.
I certainly wouldn't use it to control anything like a nuclear reactor or a fly-by-wire system, let alone the task I mentioned. Java's good for normal business apps, user interfaces where performance isn't absolutely critical, and the like. Something like C/C++, Pascal, Ada, or even Forth would be a better choice in areas like those.
It's more like someone that actually tries to follow Jesus' teachings from the Bible. Much of what passes for "Christian" is more akin to Dogma- more like the leaven of the Pharisees than anything else unless you count what the Zealots had in mind...
It's a stupid game, from the sounds of it- I'd not want the thing on the shelves any more than I would want Postal 2 or the eventually out Postal 3 on Wal-Mart's shelves. And, if they'd ban one of the Postals from their shelves they should ban this one for the very same reasons.

If they have both nanotech ducks in a row there, you could do without the batteries even...

Latency's evil. Bandwidth's not all that great either. It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharpened stick, but not by a lot.

I think you'll find the second one plus download sales to be enough. The first one's playing by their rules, a game you will NOT win out on.

The Wheel of Time turns and Jordan cranks out another book in the series. Like the conflict in the Wheel of Time, it'll never end...
