This is not true, I took my t-mobile phone to India and used a pre-paid sim there. I simply had to email sim-unlock@tmobile.com to get instructions to unlock my phone, and tell them I was going on a trip.
They did mention Marathon, and that Halo is the current version. They even talked about how great it was. Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but it is there.
Umm, Volvo cars is now Ford. The link to Volvo in the story is to the company that makes Volvo trucks. See http://www.volvocars.us/. Stereotypes flourish in Dearborn!
Ummm, email sim-unlock@tmobile.com. Once you are out of your initial 90 days they are fine. Tell them you are traveling to europe and want to use a prepaid sim.
Orange. Calls to the States from India were aroung 30 cents US, Incoming Free, 2.5 to Bombay Landlines, 2.2 to Bombay Cells, like 7 to other states in India. You have to fake residency though, or have someone else fill it out for you.
Ahh, ending the sentance in "only". Seems to be a Hindi / Marthi (sp) / Gudjrati (sp) thing. Several of my Fianace's cousing speak excellent english but always say "Only"
I have to agree with this, except you can get the Indian Nescafe from an Indian import store (which I do) I just steer clear of the kind that contains Chicory, as it makes the coffee really bitter unless you add sugar. Be careful not to use much more than a teaspoon per 6oz, as it is far stronger than American Nescafe.
For reference, my favorite coffees are Segafredo from Italy, which I had in Budapest so I don't know if it is served in Italy (and can order online!) Indian Nescafe without Chicory, and Gevalia's Cafe Grecco.
Dude, you said the exact same thing. It is not like the city was ever called Mumbai in the first place, the name was changed during a surge of nationalism when all the old British names were being changed.
The original name was Bom Bahia, or "Bombay" see http://www.geocities.com/prakashjm45/goa/bombay.ht ml
I'm not Indian but my Fiance is. This friday we are going to India for two weeks, and she overheard me tell somebody we were flying into Mumbai. She told me to call it Bombay since the only people in India who call it Mumbai are people who still actively hate the British. (Being Irish I understand this though =) )
The big joke at work is that I am going to India to recruit more outsourcers. We have already sent 30 or so DBA / SAP Basis jobs to India.
I set up my companies mail server to send a rejection response to every message determined to be spam just in case the mail is legitimate. I send 20K-50K bounces a day, sometimes 10K to one spammer, and it really makes no difference.
See here, The
Enron-O-Matic.
The day I need a $1800 shredder... But this one shreds stacks 25 pages thick, staples, paperclips and all.
We also carry floppy disk and CD shredders, as well as a general purpose shredders that will eat anything. I was playing with one in the merchandising department once, you end up getting something that looks like glitter when you cross-cut shred a CD.
You can get a a shredder specifically designed to eat stacks of greenbar at high speed too. How about a credit card, CD, and floppy disk shredder?
You can buy a quality home shredder for 60-70 dollars, maybe 120 for alternate media shredders.
Just remeber to pick up some shredder oil before you go into a shredding frenzy and burn out the motor.
Sadly no degaussers here, which is what I was looking for when speaking to the merchandiser responsible for office destruction equipment. I can't seem to locate a personal incinerator either =), but I am using the.com site as a reference, not the catalog or store inventory system.
The same old bridge over IP technology used to extend old Novell networks over the internet will do this. I have seen a few IP over IP bridges as well. I imagine the easiest implementation would be layer-2 bridging, if I only owned a second Cisco 2600 I could test the theory. Perhaps a Cisco 2600 to my freebsd box.
Simply isolate your cube on its own segement a layer-2 bridge the segment. Poof. I just wonder if latency will be an issue for uPnP...
Your sendmail foo is weak. I never use the preprocessor and just hack the cf directly. Of course Sun tech support won't touch my Amavis Perl + sendmail config with internal domain rewriting rules with a ten foot pole.
I use Exim at home on my Debian box, but I could not figure out how to to get Exim to do authenticated smtp, mostly due to a limitation of the pam modules. (I want a success or a failure, but the 3K other return codes are useless for exim, and a bitch to hack in the config.) I hacked in a static user and pass for relay, and force anybody without it to use squirrelmail.
If anybody can point me to a nice walktrhough I'd be grateful.
This is really amazing to me. The one comic "The Computers that said No to Drugs (1985)" I had as a small child. My grandmother gave it to me when she bought me my first TRS-80. It is really amazing, I was evidently 7 years old when I first started writing endless variations of
"What is your name?" ? Sean "Hi Sean"
God she cursed me to nerddom when I was that young. Damn you Grandma.
I think I'll have to go write that in perl now and see how far my skills have not progressed.
I used to go to Radio Shack all the time as a child and play "Pitfall" and "Duke Nukem" on the tandy's lined up. And now all they do there is try to sell me a cell phone. *sigh*

No, I didn't say I think that, it is in fact what the article says.
Not anymore... See NASA for details.

The last 14 ports were all versions of "Hello World!" in various scripting languages...

I used a prepaid sim in Bombay, around 2.5 cents a minute American.

It might just be that I don't like chicory, YMMV.

Do me a favor and tell me where you live. NO OfficeMax should be letting you use a pc. We stopped doing that years ago.

Heh heh, I'm from Ohio and CBN makes me think Canadian Broadcasting Network.
It sounds like a movie I saw:
Censor Networks target CBN threat. Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

Oh come on, Slashdot has never posted a scientific hoax. After all, Ask Internet Icon Alex Chiu!
Where does one find the $50 dollar dos version?
I found a $110 version though on their website...
