I mean, there is no doubt that Android will be on more devices sold. With uncounted devices from uncounted companies and carriers this is to be expected.
What's interesting is if there will be *one* model of an Android phone that will sell better than the iPhone. If the iPhone will stay the best selling smartphone in 2011, well, it's still the bestselling smartphone.
It's pretty much impossible for one model of Android phone to sell better than the iPhone, mostly because there's really only one iPhone design.
Even if Google figures out how to get something like the Nexus for sale at $99 across all carriers it's not going to happen, some percentage of users will want a keyboard and some won't.
The concept is good, but MS seems to want to take all the bad things that Apple's marketplace is and shove it into their phone. So, basically, they went from the most wide open platform to the most closed.
This story is about developers, it's always been about developers. MS knows this, yet they're not doing a great job to make the developers flock to their phones.
I'm glad I held on to my WM 6.5 phone. Personally, I think having a phone you can hack is part of the fun of owning a smartphone.
Most people who look at my setup give a 'WTF is that?!?' expression. But it works for me, and that's what counts. (Yes, it's stable, I just had to un-HTC ware the freaking thing and it became stable, cooking my own ROM is was part of the fun)
My next phone will be Android based, because MS is too busy playing iPhone catch up to actually release a real smartphone. I'll most likely cook up my own Android ROM when the time comes.
Well, if you make up words, I guess you get to define them to mean whatever you want. If "Android wins on customability," then iPhone wins on appleability.
If I find out next week that arsenic is a great way to make cheap cakes that last for 6 months, can I go putting it in the food I sell? It's not fatal in small quantities, but over time you'll eventually die from it.
I can use regular ingredients, but they don't have a longer shelf life and that means I won't earn as much money.
That's the argument for the banning of trans fats. They have NO and I mean absolutely NO beneficial effect on food outside of saving money via longer shelf life, oh and you'll eventually die from it.
So, guess what, fuck you, you don't get to put it in food. The same way you can't go loading arsenic in food, you can't load trans fats in food.
Corporations exist to benefit me, not them, that's why my government lets them exist. The more people that remember this, the better off we'll be.
So, the Bulletin Board Systems just up and disappeared?
I find it near impossible for the FCC to gain the authority to regulate a computer running in someone's basement, even under this unrealistic scenario.
Sorry, Usenet still evolves under this scenario, it's just more like FidoNet.
The real question is, will they be able to convince the most powerful nations to play along? I am just going to guess that the answer is "yes," since the world's most powerful nations also happen to stand to gain the most from having a controlled Internet.
I'm going to say No, the US will not allow their baby to fall under the UN.
I could see this breaking sites that actually use those cookies for something meaningful across invocations. I'm surprised that Adobe didn't just go down Java's route and use the browser's built-in cookie management system for taking care of their own cookie needs.
Those are easy to manage. Flash cookies, not as easy.
Well, not unless you understand how to create a RAMdrive and are familiar with MKLINK (in Windows).
I like my RAMdrive, so many things live there, albeit shortly.
I wouldn't mind selling one of the Class C's I still have. I don't think I ever signed an agreement saying I wouldn't back in 1994 with the Nic. And honestly, I don't give a fuck what ARIN says, they can't revoke them without permission. If they contact me, I'm not granting it, and I have no wish to sign an agreement with them.
Yes, one of my class C's is still live, although now unrouted and behind NAT. (The other one is in a test lab, which isn't a huge deal to change)
Basically, ARIN, start seizing these at your own class-action peril.
Either way, why would you think that making a threat to blow someone up wouldn't be a crime?
Now, if you said, 'I'm going to do lots of drugs in Benton, OK tomorrow', you might get a cop to drive around and see if you're actually in town doing the drugs, but most likely not.
Taking other people's content and making money out of it without asking permission of the owner, or giving them recompense, is exactly what the owners of YouTube have created a fortune out of doing. I wonder how many of those prepared to condemn this woman are quite happy watching videos of their favourite band on the aforementioned site.
You're blaming the newsstand for the infringing content in the magazine.
YouTube doesn't go out and grab copyrighted material and they do try to curb it when they are alerted.

WP7 isn't there yet.

How does it feel to be over the hill?
You must be close to retirement/unemployment.
38 is over the hill now? I guess I should give up cutting edge technology and just start making gobs of money off the stupid people now.
So, what color would you like your database server in?

Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.
if it has the wrong kind of fats, sorry, no dice.

Less trouble to install an extension than set up a RAMdrive, I think. Either way, it’s done and you can forget about it.
Good point. It's my ramdrve.sys background, they were necessary way back when, so I tend to find a use for them now.
Too much trouble.
I just point to a folder on the ramdrive and not only does flash get a little faster (very little), but there are no open files on the HDD.
All my browser temp files live there, that way when I'm browsing the laptop shuts down the HDD.

I thought it wiped out the data, I must be thinking of another brand.
Either way, it involved flipping switches and calling a third party, which isn't horrible as far as password recovery goes.
It's not perfect, but like you said, if you're standing in back of the router flipping switches, you can do all sorts of things anyway.
Livingston (now Lucent) routers had a recovery mode where you physically had to flip a DIP switch and read a key to them.
If I remember correctly, this would get you one factory default wipe, so you could get back in and then restore the settings.
IMHO, this is the only type of solution that works, you need physical access, AND have to be willing to restore from backup.

Isn't Benton a ghost town?

WINS did have scopes that could, in theory, extend that, but MS didn't do a great job implementing it.
Thinking about this, there are too many issues with hooking into the WINS resolver. Nope, it's going to have to be something new if it's done right.
Otherwise, it's just going to be a new DNS Root and that's just repeating history.
The words of the day are:
Mimic, Resolver, and Client.
Either way, this won't work due to other limitations.
Obviously, writing a new resolver isn't easy, and using DNS is easy, but also easily intercepted by the ISP.
I was just reminded that WINS may be limited to 15 characters, which pretty much rules it out anyway.
Oh well, that's what brainstorming is for. The answer to this is going to be outside of DNS as we know it today.
Most major systems have a WINS client, I doubt nearly anyone is using it at home.
Write a resolver that mimics WINS to the client and then behind the scenes use a modern P2P encrypted network.
No client work is needed, no DNS passthru is needed and no DNS baggage is needed.
Now you have a foothold until you spend the time to write a native client.
Here's my notice of intent to replace RFC 2826.
Anyone want to help?
QUICK! Someone fire up canyon.mid!
Anyone ever try a passive booster?
Overly simplified: it's basically an external antenna connected to an internal antenna.

That would actually make my life better, I hate flying. Driving cross country is time consuming and expensive though.
If only there was a third option....
SSL everything, then de-centralize DNS. The result would be anarchy, for the censors.
