Possible, though I doubt it. Even if I do though, they've a system to retrieve/reset your password, however, they've failed to notify me. So either the system sucks, or someone hijacked my account, and changed the email address on file.
I bought Half-Life 2 shortly after release. I probably haven't logged in to steam in a year. I was thinking of ordering The Orange Box a few weeks ago, when Valve was giving you access to the Team Fortress 2 beta. So, I installed Steam, only to find I'm not able to login. I went through the process to have them email me my password or reset my password or whatever, haven't received a single email from Valve. I haven't looked into it much, but I suppose my next course of action is to contact Valve, and beg for my account. There's the possibility I may never get the account back.
I haven't given up on it completely, but I think at this point I'm far more likely to get The Orange Box for Xbox 360 rather than PC.
Now, look at why the movie cost them $100 million to make. How much of that is salary for the actors? I think some of the bigger name actors are commanding salaries of $20 million or more (AND a percentage of the profits). I understand these people need to get paid, but is their work really worth that much?
So you like this "real" racing where the AI controlled cars will ram into you from behind if you're in their pre-programmed racing line? I picked up GT4 shortly after it was released. I think I played it twice, then left it on the shelf, it was so disappointing. The AI pretty much refused to deviate from the pre-programmed line for anything.
The Forza 2 demo is decent, it lets you sample a few different car classes.
Actually, the 2nd gen nano didn't run on a portal player chip either, it's a Samsung "System-on-Chip". I believe this is what the 3rd gen nano (and 6th gen classic) is using, as well (hard to tell for sure, the chips are all Apple-branded now).
My 3rd gen iPod came with a remote (wonder if it'd work with a touch) - it really does suck that they'd decided to be cheap and remove it (and the case that my 3rd gen also came with).
What's even worse though is that the iPhone has a nice little remote - but it doesn't work with the iPod touch, apparently.
Because if he hadn't done that, or he had turned it off, he wouldn't have racked up charges from getting all that email, it seems pretty obvious.
The guy didn't turn his phone OFF, or it'd not have been fetching email. The article is about useless, there's zero fact checking. It should be pretty obvious to anyone that if the phone had actually been turned off it'd not be receiving data.
IMHO, Standby is a misnomer here. What they're referring to Standby is really just the phone operating as normal, with the display powered off. It'll ring immediately if an incoming call is received, or a text message is received, or any such thing. It's not the same as putting your laptop into Standby.
Off may be really "Off", but if there's no way to tell if an iPhone is "Off" or "Sleeping" at first glance, then it's a UI design flaw.
There is, it's called pushing the Sleep/Wake button. Just like on my Sony Ericsson W810i, I have to push a key (any key) to see if it's on - when the display sleeps, its indistinguishable from being off. Of course, I know it's on, because I didn't turn it off! If this is a design flaw, practically every cell phone out there is flawed.
Would it be too much to ask for a summary, rather than merely copying & pasting the linked article? Maybe mention what ODF and OOXML are, why we might NOT want the ISO to accept OOXML as a standard, things like that?
Considering that Jiri happens to be the original copyright holder of the code in question, they DO very probably understand what they are or are not allowed to do with regards to the licensing of the code. Since HE does NOT need licensing to produce it, relicense it, etc. he can do with his code what he sees fit to do.

Actually, I grepped the logs on my mail server, nothing at all containing "steam" or "valve".

This gets modded insightful? What the crap?! That's like comparing George Bush to Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.
What're you suggesting, that he insulted Hitler, Stalin or Mao?
More like a wannabe RIAA for Canada.
For the most part, CRIA is ignored.

And who's really going to remember to put the iPhone into airplane mode when he's just going to another country?
Shouldn't he have put it into airplane mode when he got on the plane?
If the "OFF" button doesn't turn it OFF, there is deception involved.
Well, there would be if it was labelled "OFF" and not "STANDBY"
A random guess, but in case they did end up needing the phones for some reason (say, an accident).
:P
So they EACH had to bring their phone?
If they'd only brought one, they'd only have a $2400 bill
Because by default it doesn't check email every X minutes, you have to explicitly configure it to do so.

I dunno, wasn't there another story a week or so ago about a GPL violation?
Oh, it was actually about GPL violations in windows apps going unnoticed, and mentioned several violations.
I'm just waiting for a Firefox package for Solaris ..

Ask and ye shall receive.
BTW, have you been living under a rock? This story shows up almost as often as the BSD/GPL tussle.
Could be. I know what ODF and OOXML are, but I wasn't really aware of OOXML being submitted to the ISO.
Really though, I just think its ugly to just paste the beginning of an article and submit it as a story.
Columbia had better get in line - Rubin is currently focused on saving Metallica!
When I read the title, I thought the article was about Home being a rootkit. That is clearly not the case. I just wanted to clarify that.
That's what they want you to think...

how corruptable is the loss prevention fellow...
He's probably making minimum wage, maybe slightly more, so I imagine he's not corruptible at all.
