I love demos when they are done good. I remember playing the Metal Gear Solid demo that I got at Pizza Hut for ever, then once the game came out, I picked up the game. Likewise, we had a LAN party where all we wound up playing was the demo for Battle Field 1942, for seven hours. We knew Wake Island like the backs or our hands when we were done. Then we bought the game. Problems with demos are that they make non playable demos. If I start a demo, I want to see the game, not five minutes of commercials followed by 30 seconds of gameplay, followed by another five minutes of commercials.
Most demos that I see now don't have much in the way of gameplay, it's more a commercial with a tiny bit of the game. Those normally leave a bad impression. Just gimme a demo that starts with a nice section of the game and runs me through a range of the options in the game for some time and I'm happy. Cut me off after 30 seconds and I'm not going to play your demo, and probably not buy the game. Force me to watch ads before the demo starts, and I'm not going to play it.
What level of information can be used on a blackberry. I know that they do not rate top secret information. The presidential blackberry would be the same way. He would have his calendar in it, so if someone finds it they would be able to see where his next lunch is, and perhaps a couple of personal emails or some general work emails, but he would not be sending troop deployment or launch codes via the blackberry...
you do also understand that blackberrys are not rated for top secret materials, and as such, the most that anybody would get is personal email, maybe a few reminders or calendar appointments, some pictures of the last presidental luncheon, and his collection of mp3 files.
I guess perhaps the script for a speech that he is preparing for also...
But yeah, in general, not much to worry about.
Also, if it is stolen, again, the device will be wiped remotely before anything can be done with it if needed.
ok, so the people who have it cannot unlock it unless they can guess the password within the default 10 tries and it auto erases.
And once Barrak finds that he no longer has his Blackberry (should be before they leave the parking lot if he is like any other blackberry user) he will either turn around and retrieve it, or it will be wiped, then he will turn around and retrieve it.
In either scenario, we will have a waitress at a diner who now has a dead blackberry with secret service agents returning to find.
If he is activated on a BES, then he is using the government's email server, so any required backup and logging of his email can be done there. Also, on a blackberry, if you type the password wrong too many times (default is 10, but you can reduce that) it will wipe the device memory, likewise, on a BES, the admins can do a remote wipe, so any fears of it being lost at a diner and being used are pretty small. Likewise, they can lock out lots of other items, like SMS, other apps, and I believe other email sources as well from a BES. I don't see why he can't have one once the admins lock it down.
The Federal Government uses a ton of Blackberrys. The president just seems to be a special case. I don't see why they can't just activate him on an Enterprise Server and have every single thing locked down on it. Hell, they can require a 20 digit password to unlock it so if he does lose it, they have time to do a remote wipe from the server. Of course, after 10 incorrect password tries, the device will automatically wipe itself anyways.
I could wait for the bus, but I'd have to drive to somewhere with a bus stop...
I think that the library is actually closer than the bus stop, and the bus doesn't go anywhere near the library, but hey, I'll drive to the bus stop to wait for the bus that will take me somewhere else. Maybe I can use the library in the next town over...
Sorry, the only reason Klaatu would come to rape anything is nuclear proliferation and the spread of war into space...
In fact, at the end of the original, didn't Klaatu state that he didn't care what we did on our own planet, but if we brought it with us into space we would be found unwelcome to say the least.
As such, Klaatu wouldn't care if I burned tires in my backyard for my world famous endangered species barbecue, but if I started to shoot guns at mars, he'd kill me quite thoroughly.
You see, you need to stop researching. Reasearch bring science, and science brings innovation. Innovation brings bad things for nature. What we need is to live in huts built from naturally dying trees and eating from personal gardens on the roof.
HTC Touch Pro, so I can hit Send/receive on it if I'm expeciting something, normally hitting it several times until the mail arrives. Or if I'm not expecting something, it may take up to fifteen minutes to receive with my sync settings. So if it's something that someone needs an answer to quickly, SMS will always be faster and simplier.

I'll go with the race card... I love my caucasianberry myself.
and why the hell would the president not be connected to one of the governments BESs?

Of course, to gnaw on wood bark, we would probably kill a tree or two, so they still wouldn't be happy...
All we see as an end user is a cable. We plug one end into the peripheral, and the other into the PC.
Doesn't matter what happens inside the case, we just want a cable
