Seriously, it is a great program (assuming that it supports your phone model.) It allows, among other things, raw access to the phone's filesystem. You can backup anything on the phone.
IANAL, so I really don't know if he could or not, though I suspect not.
Regardless, he wouldn't do it. It would require that he list all the criminal acts he wanted to pardon. That might get him into trouble, especially since he'd effectively be admitting in a legal document that he knew about these acts before any investigation turned up evidence of wrong-doing.
That isn't to say he wouldn't write up a pardon after the investigation, as everyone here is no doubt aware.
You're saying that *everyone* that you have worked with keeps digital images (EG: JPEGs) of their documents? Not PDF or something open and *intended* to be an open, readable archive format? While the rest of your post seemed reasonably well thought out, I just can't swallow this bit... I don't find that too difficult to believe. The people where I work usually use MS Word to send each other screen captures. (I'm not joking.) I won't even mention how they abuse Excel.
I like to think that people on the site have become more reasonable
But hey, you know, each to their own. I'm sure your explanation plays better to the crowd here. I'm curious, which is it?
Given that there is a finite amount of money in the world at any given time, I'd wager it is far more likely that everyone (except the executives, of course) ends up poor. Corporations hoard money. That is basically their goal. They aren't outsourcing to "share the wealth". Outsourcing allows a corporation to reduce the rate at which labor costs "bleed" money back into the economy.
Consider: If a corporation can get workers in country A to work for half what workers in country B cost, they can use that to negotiate lower wages/benefits in country B as well. (The implied threat being work for less, or don't work at all.)
Because that would completely defeat the whole purpose of doing these types of updates on the sly. Microsoft doesn't want you to be able to block them. (Which is, of course, the problem.)
Or did you mean why doesn't some good samaritan do this? It be far easier to just install a decent firewall and block everything that isn't on a whitelist. (Nothing on my one Windows machine can access the web by default. And the windows services are flat out denied access to the network.)
Hmm, in that case I would probably make a folder on my desktop labeled "Secret Porn Stash - Click Here!!!!". It would never get opened. My mother would just think I was being a smartass. Not that I've ever done something like that, no sir.
I don't remember who makes it, but there is a company that sells a PCI card which connects to a SATA controller as a ram disk. Card has places to put four memory sticks and supports up to 4GB of ram. Has battery backup so it could be used like a standard hard drive. Never used one myself so I don't know if they are any good, but I'd rather use something like that for swap than a flash drive.
True, I don't disagree. It would be very satisfying. Just remember that you're shooting at things in front of you. In all likelihood your missile just blew a crater in the road ahead of you. You now have to dodge it. Care to guess what the odds are that someone else is going to want to take out the idiot blowing holes in the road and swerving into their lane?;-)
Sure, it's technically possible, but due to the GPL's open hostility to both business and commercial interests, they have killed any willingness to support teh Lunix as a platform. <feeding_troll mode="on">
The GPL isn't hostile to business or commercial interests. What it is hostile towards is taking GPL licensed code, modifying it and claiming it as your own. I fail to see how that is any different than any other license.

DOS and Windows has always been about "compatability". This is true. The important point here is that when people say "compatibility", they really mean "Microsoft Windows software compatibility". This means the deck is stacked. No one but Microsoft currently has the ability to have complete compatibility. (No one would claim Wine is completely compatible.)
Perhaps your sarcasm is well placed, perhaps not. What is certain however is that DragonTHC didn't make this up. There was a article on Wired's website (IIRC) about this. They have a pdf file you can download which contains all the details. I believe it was also discussed here on Slashdot.

You must be new here. ;-)
One word: Bitpim.

I think my point was rather clear, even if my message wasn't.
As a general rule, I don't use "leet". Oddly enough I think it makes the person using it seems rather immature.

Since you're being picky, he won't notice then either. He'll just be dead.
It doesn't.

Or something like that anyway...
IIRC, later versions of HL1 added steam. (Not 100% sure it is required, but I'd wager it is.)
Open Office exports to PDF as well.
No, the GP meant links. The name as spelled was correct. It is also a text-based web browser. Though it can also do graphics on the console as well.

Yes, the last thing you want while driving on the freeway is to have to dodge incompetent drivers and their flaming wreckage.
Besides, road conditions are bad enough without every clueless driver on the road shooting at it.
LOL. And me without mod points. /sigh

Well... Maybe if it was just spit out of the throat of a volcano. It still isn't going to be edible though...
