Of course it *can*. And you could share exactly one thing on the PSP because it was trivial (in terms of what was being shared) and a great use case. But sharing arbitrary files from your phone is a much trickier subject - with lots of privacy and security concerns that most users are not up to.
In my book, the only real crime is that sharing your internet connection costs more.
I had a PDF on my phone i jsut downloaded, i wanted to view it on my non cellular ipad...
You're right, except that these are consumer devices. Getting consumers to understand about setting up servers, managing accessibilities to files on your device, etc. Not bloody likely. Hell, there are plenty of system admins that don't really get it.
You're complaining about a case where one of your devices has 'net access and the other doesn't. This is becoming more and more of an edge case.
There is a simple solution - share wifi. Mostly this means you would have to pay the phone company more money. Then you would have the same access to the PDF.
But it sounds like you don't want a fully integrated consumer device. I recommend you make your next purchase something other than a fully integrated consumer device.
I'm curious: do you know of any tablet or phone that does host wifi?
It should be as simple as hooking my friends iDevice to my computer and dragging the song over.
I'm pretty sure that's the exact kind of behavior that the music industry required they NOT support in order to license music.
Hell there is no native way to share data between an iphone and an ipad in the field and you think this state of affairs is totally ok?
I'm not sure what you're suggesting, but the cloud seems to do that pretty well (whether your talking icloud, google's, or whatever). Whether you're talking about music or calendars or pictures or files you put in dropbox.
Actually, what data ARE you talking about not being able to share?
Judging by your account ID, I guess you couldn't be TOO much younger than I am.
Back in the day, what the hell else was a woman going to do with her time? And how else were they going to get financial security for their old age? http://www.ssa.gov/history/hfaq.html
Social Security was created in '37. Medicare in '65. If you didn't have kids, you were looking at a pretty hard retirement.
And, of course, the more kids you had, the more farm hands you had - if that was your life (as it was, to a fair extent, for my grandparents).
So having kids often was the answer to financial security back then.
I went to their site, and I'm still left wondering: what problem[s] are they trying to solve? Why would I install OpenNMS? What does it enable me to do [more easily]?
"The BritRuby organizers decided to invite 15 speakers, and leave 5 more slots open to submissions. I fully believe them when they say that they set out to create a diverse conference. However, I think some implicit bias crept into their selection process. Even that is not an accusation I make lightly, so here’s why I say it..."

In short: bias is not the same as prejudice or bigotry. Those that think merit should be the primary factor in considering candidates are right - but it isn't like there is a coder/presenter score to decide who the best are. An organizer would do well to try to mix things up - if only to counter their own bias.
You have a choice between real people dying or computers catching a virus... The more effective we are in slowing down Iran's nuclear program, the more time we have before we need to resort to military action...
... As a real world example: In 06 you could get a 3 GHz computer. If Moore's law still impacted speed, we would be able to get a 24GHz chip right now.
I don't see a need to go by district. Hell, I'm a fan of using the popular vote nationally. We're voting for one president as a nation. My vote should not count more or less because I live in a town that leans heavily one way or the other.

So it's off of "THE first" by about half a century.
And here I thought that more connectivity meant more opportunity to patch software in the field instead of requiring a recall. See also every game system made in the past decade.

England had some experience with this sort of thing, already, having done away with the shilling, etc.
That's kind of awesome. How did it get done? Was there much resistance?

Lifting weights never killed anyone in this age group (at least I don't think)
I'm sure it did, but it's still good advice.
Where the f' are the parents in all this?
Although I have no evidence to back me up, I'm pretty sure that 9/10 parents are idiots.
Last, but not least, AP Calc has yet to help me in life...
Yeah, but didn't you enjoy it? And isn't it cool to know, in general terms, how those problems get soved - even if you never need to do so?
Sigh. I was actually hoping for new information. Instead we're left with "/. editors can't scrub for dupes." Which we all knew already.
bacause they aren't hype/trends followers. They will not tell you to rewrite your whole system in Ruby
Speak for yourself.
I'll do it. And you'll come out way ahead. Ruby is a great language.
My question to you: what on earth does this have to do with news for nerds?
Why does /. continue to cover the TSA?
Not only is it not news for nerds, it is not news.
I don't think that the folks at apple would [have] agreed with you.
Billions.
+1 if I had mod points. The question is: where does one go for nerdly news, now that /. has let its standards slip even lower?
You have a choice between real people dying or computers catching a virus... The more effective we are in slowing down Iran's nuclear program, the more time we have before we need to resort to military action...
Lemme start by saying that I agree.
But isn't sabotage an act of war?
The US seems to think so: http://www.geek.com/articles/news/pentagon-rules-cyber-attacks-and-sabotage-constitute-an-act-of-war-20110531/
And that it justifies military response.
...
As a real world example:
In 06 you could get a 3 GHz computer. If Moore's law still impacted speed, we would be able to get a 24GHz chip right now.
GHz is not the only measure, and maybe a little behind the curve, but still:

Claimer: I'm glad Obama won.
District system: California give rougly 35 EVs to Obama and 20 EVs to Romney, which is roughly in line with how the electorate voted.
Obama 35/55 ~= 64%
http://www.politico.com/2012-election/map/#/President/2012/CA
Voters for Obama: ~59%
I don't see a need to go by district. Hell, I'm a fan of using the popular vote nationally. We're voting for one president as a nation. My vote should not count more or less because I live in a town that leans heavily one way or the other.
Yeah. Because nobody would ever hack/write a virus for the BofA DesktopApp that would collect login credentials, etc.
Gah! How'd I type-o the subject line?

So it's off of "THE first" by about half a century.
The Model S's range, rated by the EPA at 265 miles with the largest battery, finally fits the American conception of driving.
But at $78,500 before a $7,500 tax rebate that doesn't fit the American concept of pricing.
Make no mistake, I'd really love one of these. But $78,500 is pricy...
I'm not going to do the research.
How much do cars that go from 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds generally cost? I dunno - that sounds very quick to me. This isn't just a sedan.
That's everyone's beliefs by definition...
I'm a vegetarian because I believe we should not support this country's meat industry.
I dine with omnivores.
Your deal is your deal.
Have a great weekend!
