The beauty of GSM is that, whatever the phone, as long as it works on the frequency used by the carrier, is that you just buy a SIM card from the carrier and plug it into the phone and voila, no problem. Of course, here in North America, we are being screwed over since the phones the carriers sell you are locked to their network, but that has brought along a nice buisness of unlocking phones making them able to function on any network.
Verizon, Sprint or whoever will never support the phone, or sell it in their stores since they wouldn't be able to lock it. But that doesn't stop you from using it.

yeah... anyways what warenties that the "lower" life forms will survive? Nothing, it's just crap propagandha. But just so any of you don't get any ideas; yes well are ALL going to die.
> Schools don't teach analog electronics any more,
What???
Any electrical/computer engineering program that doesn't include analog electronics shouldn't be called an engineering program at all! Analog electronics are still a good chunk of the electrical program
Almost sounds like SkyNet doesn't it? *shrudder* What happens when everybody uses the free GoogleNet and all broadband providers are out of buisness? Then Google can expose their real side... what if the GoogleNet becomes some kind of google version of the internet where every web page you visit is taylored to please the google overlords and nobody ever notices because everybody sees the same pages.... On the other hand, free WiFi would be cool:P
actually, they do land the shuttle. Deorbit is automatic and all, but the final approch is done by the commander manually. Check out the landing 101 on the Nasa web site before spreding bullshit all over the place.
This is the USA's solution to global warming. Apprently this will save something like 100 000 barrels of oil each YEAR! wow! what that, 0.00001% of yearly consumption?
The shuttle launch has nothing to do with the debris hitting the Hibernia oil platform. Those debris concerns are for a USAF satellite launch and sparked a mass evacuation of 3 oil platforms in that area when it was announced. Now they don't know when they'll be launching it due to a "technical" problem
Problem is, that "special" border pass contains all you biometric information in digital form. I for one, don't want my fingerprints taken just to cross into the USA, they already my picture everytime...

Comparing the collapse of a bridge during construction and the collapse of a bridge after 40 years of operation isn't quite the same thing.

WWDC isn't started yet! This was announced like yesterday and TFA clearly states that it will be _demoed_ not announced at WWDC.
So... why does the headline read FORD??? Who is getting the indecent pay check here?

according to TFA, walt disney has "garbage" on their key cards, just pointers to your info in their billing system.
in this case, it would be: stop building cities BELOW sea level dammit!

check out STK, http://www.stk.com/ from AGI. It's pratically an industry standard.
Want to plan a trip to Mars? no problem using the Astrogator plug-in you're in buisness. However it will set you back several thousands of dollars....

well tuesday and wednesday sound good, but thurday should read as following:
Thursday August 11th 2005: Crew not responding. Presumed dead from lack of oxygen.

The point was to show that using the "special" pass wasn`t easier or a better alternative than using a passport.
But hey, if you don`t mind having your DNA on file, that's your call.

Spread Sprectrum would definately be good at the signal level for your application, even if it's a little vague (more details would help).
Encryption/signing at the data level is also good.
