If you are running old hardware like this, its most likely because you either cant afford to upgrade, so having to buy this is a show stopper, or you need specific support for something, which you would lose even if it was free.
If you just like old stuff, ( many do ) there are free alternatives still, so again, why would i pay?
And what sort of desktop environment in 2012 doesn't support wireless in some manner? wtf?
That is what i would do.if i was traveling abroad, id never let it out of my hand, and no 'Velcro flaps' either. All zipped up with a lock, even as i was holding it. ( hell i don't even leave my stuff unattended here in the states during a convention, we have thieves here too )
And i agree, it wasn't some grand conspiracy and they weren't targeting RMS personally, so it's a non story: "foreign traveler lost bag with belongings" *yawn*
( tho knowing RMS, he may think it was personal and the 'man' is out to get him )
Depends, it may also demonstrate that you are doing something 'wrong' ( perhaps illegal ) and if you are good citizen you will cease and desist on your own
This is because RIM is 'corporate' orientated, so its a natural for Microsoft. Nokia, is consumer oriented ( Apple's territory )
But, considering all their handset technology is different, would it be wroth the trouble/money just to get the BES, that wont work with a windows phone anyway?
More likely they will both just fade away and someone like Google will grab the patents just before they go under water forever.
They to, but if you really worked for the government you would know this. But then again, if you did work for them and leaked how far advanced we really are, you wouldn't be working for them much longer.
If you use the current single pot method, its more like baking then chemistry. Besides you don't have to understand the process behind why you 'mix a with b and heat'. It just means you can follow directions..
I guess baking is still a good skill to have, as most people like to eat.
I take it you have never even seen a mainframe in person or understand what actual data is sent to a dumb terminal ( hint, none ). Basically, if you were not there you really don't have anything useful to say.
And if you WERE around back then, you obviously missed the point of what was (is) going on.
Well, regardless of the 'control' people want it is the right way to do things, if you do it properly and have the bandwidth behind it to push all the pretty pixels around that is.
Tho its true that back in mainframe days bandwidth wasn't a real issue.. but the last time we try the cloud thing the bandwidth wasn't there and it left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths.
A dirty bomb would be brain dead simple to build, and just use common sense. ( well, and lots of $ for the supplies and delivery system.... but complexity is about nil )
I'm not sure if you should consider doing business with a '3rd' party as a public act. That would have some serous ramifications for consumer privacy.
That said, if the contract with Google ( there is one..and you agree to to by use ) says they can hand over your searches at will, i agree there are no guarantee there.. However, the issue here is the police using this data to predict crime, not doing research for a current ( judge sponsored ) investigation for evidence.

If i was abroad and had everything important to me in a single bag it would be chained to my leg.
While i agree personally, for the general public Woz is a non-entity.
Without marketing no one knows you exist.
I can see a copyright on the design, but how can you patent a non functional shape?
Its not like it actually does anything, its a case..
I see both being forgotten eventually.

How about we just dont allow them to censor.

As long as the government doesn't start using the 'public data' to track your every movement and associations, i agree.
while not being able to look at another person is sort of silly, i wouldn't be surprised if they start banning cameras in public.
Its now useless there.
I'm as much for privacy as anyone else but if i can stand on the street corner and see something, there is no reason Google cant record it too.
Don't want to be on Google, don't do whatever you are doing within sight of the street....

This is a trap. View this level of detail, get put on a watched list.
Most people don't have a clue why they add the ingredients. It just says 'do this'
Most people are stupid.
I don't consider 'applied' chemistry like that as real chemistry. With no understanding, its not a science.
Chemistry is understanding why you are mixing while baking is just following the recipe.
If you use the current single pot method, its more like baking then chemistry. Besides you don't have to understand the process behind why you 'mix a with b and heat'. It just means you can follow directions..

What are you, training terrorists?
Joking aside, too bad you thought it was boring, it would have been a lot better if you were to have taken an active role in your education.
But now you feel you are qualified to educate your children? Hmmm scary stuff there. I see the welfare roles in your child's future.
As i was reading this, i was thinking the same thing. Besides, you have to have a client to get there...

Great way to kill off any chance of a future for our country.
Or you are just curious.
I may be curious how a H-bomb works, but i don't have any plans on making one. ( even if i could.. )
Depending on your job and importance in the world, we call that unemployment.
