There's a Barbot at Nottingham Hackspace that uses a Pi as the main processor and several Arduinos to drive the servos and run the sparklies. It's really very pretty. And encased in clear acrylic, so you can see "everything".
who wouldn't? That said, Samsung does share in the profits from every iPhone sold, simply because they build half the chips that go INTO an iPhone. Oh, and the screen.
I have two 4GB microdrives (to the IBM definition of "microdrive", which is 43mm36mmx5mm). Haven't plugged 'em in in years. Pretty sure they'd fit and run in any device that accepts CFII...
BB didn't have copy/paste until the release of the 8000 series (2007/8) which had the requisite multitouch screens that the previous models lacked. Apple had it in the iPhone by March 2009 (announced for iOS 3). The iPhone 1 had a touchscreen in mid 2007. Six million units sold in thirteen months, which counted for nearly HALF the global smartphone market at the time, with Blackberry having taken SIX YEARS to sell the same number of units.
Raw comparison: Blackberry's flagship phone for 2008, the Bold 9000 based on a 624 MHZ Marvell PXA930, had GPS and a microSD slot and DIDN'T have multitouch (hence cut/paste) capability - it was in fact pretty fuckin' dumb for a "smart"phone. The iPhone 3G had: 412 MHz ARM1176JZF-S processor, but it also came with accelerometer, aGPS, multi-touch, proximity and ambient light sensors, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, PowerVR MBX Lite 3D GPU, shipped with support for Microsoft Exchange (which Blackberry didn't), and soft upgrade option to iOS 3 or 4 for cut/paste (4 also got task switching and foreground priority, which Blackberry didn't get until the release of the 9000 series Storm at the start of 2009).
Winner: Apple. By a country mile. Unless all you wanted was something you could send text messages on.
Apple could have gone with something akin to the Nokia N-Gage, but it would have bombed just like the Nokia did. I mean, three million in four years, is not good even for a unit that tries to do everything and sucks at all of them.
there's actually no consensus on the use of the term "disc" vs. "disk". Both describe form and function. In medical terminology, the preferred term is "disc", while in describing magnetic, optical or magneto-optical, or flash media, you can use either. I've never been pulled up anywhere for using the term "disk" to describe something that looks like a stick of gum and plugs into the side of a laptop.
c) They tried the same thing with RIM. What saved RIM was a small incident on the Eastern Seaboard in the back end of 2001 which basically rendered all mobile voice and text networks useless as they couldn't handle the traffic - with the sole exception of the Blackberry network.
gives me an idea for an open competition: someone embeds a message (could be a starting location for a scavenger hunt or even a straight-to-x-marks-the-spot) in a flash chip, encrypted with a 256-bit AES key and stored behind a softwall under the same conditions as you'd find on a locked iphone 5C - hell, embed it on a 5C. Obviously, the first to break the encryption gets the prize.
ummm... think you'll find it is, it's equivalent ot the Secret Intelligence Service (also referred to as MI6), the Foreign Intelligence Service of Great Britain, directly answerable to the Ministry of Defence and with a speed dial to the Office of the Prime minister and one of the few agencies that can call the PM out of a tea party with the Queen for a COBRA meeting.
If proof were ever needed, look at who chairs the NSA: a serving Admiral in the United States Navy: Adm. Michael Rogers.
quantum computers would be no good since quantum computers are DESIGNED for use on unknown data sets looking for familiar patterns, whereas a 256-bit AES key is a known data set with unknown patterns.
they'd have to get Apple to rewrite the software to allow that (it introduces a random delay of between 80ms-5s purely to defeat bruteforce attempts), also so it doesn't fry the flash memory after the tenth unsuccessful attempt. THAT is what every freedom-loving human on the planet has a problem with: if Apple make that software, who are the FBI to be trusted not to pocket the thing and use it elsewhen (notwithstanding their promise not to, I wouldn't trust the FBI as far as I could spit them)?
Wikipedia: "SSDs have no moving (mechanical) components. This distinguishes them from traditional electromechanical magnetic disks such as hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks, which contain spinning disks and movable read/write heads."
eBuyer Jargon Buster: "What is the difference between a Solid State Drive (SSD) and a Hard Disk Drive (HDD)? A traditional HDD is a device made up of moving parts that uses spinning platters to store data. An SSD on the other hand uses flash memory and has no moving parts."
nope. What killed Blackberry was their proprietery messaging system (which nobody else could access) and the fact that Apple had released the iPhone right around the same time RIM bombed, because the iPhone was everything the Blackberry wasn't: useful.
I run three networks - at home. One is airgapped (it's actually a cluster but it has no WAN link - this is by design), one is a firewall behind a firewall running the LAN (which is my own little corner of the internet, with mail and webservers, a couple databases and a torrent box), the other is the WPA2-secured wifi which is running on the forewall which is used by the rest of the house and any guests who (invariably) come round to drink my coffee and suck on my 200MBit cable.
Nope. Corp contracts have a backdoor PIN and the handset is usually SIM locked so you can't simply replace the SIM in a nine hundred Dollar company phone.
(been there with Vodafone).
Basically, if an employee leaves, you can brick the phone by calling the service centre with your company credentials and asking them to deactivate it. Then it's a simple case of calling the employee on an alternative line or even writing them and asking for the handset to be returned - then it's just a case of sending it back to be RMAd and returned factory fresh with a new SIM. Otherwise what they have is a worthless paperweight (since it would be covered under the group insurance policy anyway). Apart from that, remember calling digital voicemail on a landline? Same thing with a Voda corp contract: call the voicemail access for that handset and input the PIN, it gives you the call history for the last five calls (or however many you've set it to). There's all sorts of other stuff you can do.
Because your employer isn't quite there yet in the trust that you won't broadcast trade secrets to the competition. Hell, I wouldn't be, either. Nothing personal, it's the same for everybody. My data mining suite is my own proprietery design and its inner workings will remain a secret that I will take to my grave. Suffice it to say that the results speak for the design. Suffice it to say also that while I do research for others, they don't see the computer I perform the data crunching on.
When you've got something that innovative that certain companies would KILL to get their hands on purely to capitalise on it as an adverrtising tool rather than use it for hard research, well, yeah, I'd sooner put a hammer through the hard drive and all the backups than hand it over to Googingelpeeves.
It's about the offender not having come to terms with his crimes and having gotten caught. This is about the public not being informed that a convicted kiddie fiddler just moved in next door. Well, fuck his rights, what about the rights of the children he abused? What about the children living in the neighbourhood that this so called judge just endangered? Fuck you, paedo, and fuck you, judge, as a parent I say my right to know and to make an informed objection trumps your right to anonymity. Or are you trying to tell me that he's reformed until the next time he offends? Because if he harms MY child, you better have a fucking remote island ready for him because I would hunt him down.

I found a Pi 3 with free shipping to UK: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rasp... £35 though, that's a good $50.
There's a Barbot at Nottingham Hackspace that uses a Pi as the main processor and several Arduinos to drive the servos and run the sparklies. It's really very pretty. And encased in clear acrylic, so you can see "everything".
Oh, here's a video of said bot in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

yep, the 5C has a JTAG pad next to the SIM port. It's even marked, and here's the key:
TP82_RF - BB UART TXD
TP89_RF - BB UART RXD
TP28_RF - BB UART RTS N
TP29_RF - BB UART CTS N

Nope, I can't find anything in a cursory search that agrees with your assertion.
as long as the company picks up the bill, I would be fine with that - but they do it on their own SIM.
You're connecting over a public switching network. Assume it's being monitored and behave accordingly.
