Pascal was not a software innovator as the submitter specifically requested. He was a mathematician who died in 1662, quite a bit before computers including the one Ada Lovelace worked on (she died in 1852).
At the previous MacWorld (not Jan '03), I remember Steve giving a demo where one of his VPs came on stage with a PowerBook and that PowerBook's iTunes library appeared on Steve's desktop Mac. The VP closed the lid on the PowerBook and the library disappeared. All by Rendezvous. And yet I've not seen or heard anything about that feature since. The current iTunes doesn't do that.
Anybody else remember that demo? Anybody know what happened to that feature?
Look at the commercials for god-sake: yeah, like I'm going to be at a yard sale and happen across a rare pure-ivory toad for $1
While I agree that this use if kind of silly and far-fetched, I saw another commercial where a guy was someplace where he didn't speak the native language and the people he was talking to didn't understand English. So he had a friend send him a picture of a toilet and then he showed it to the people. They pointed him towards where the bathroom was. That's a reasonable use for a picture phone (granted, there aren't many).
There has been the first picture phone that could be tricked into dialing 0190-numbers
What does the fact that the phone is a picture phone have to do with its security and dialing? I would think that the ability to display pictures is irrelevant.
Either your *2 is broken or you don't have the latest KT firmware on the phone. (Sprint released a patch to fix *2 for the earlier firmware, but upgrading the firmware broke *2 again. No amount of calls to Sprint fixed this problem.)
Mobile-originated SMS doesn't work on any Sprint phone.
At least before the Vision plans, you had to pay $5/month extra to use either e-mail or web services, or receive SMS.
I have 300 anytime and 4000 nights/weekends from Verizon (where "night" starts at 8pm). I never come anywhere close to using all the minutes. Hence, I really don't care about plans.
Verizon service has been great here in the SF bay area. Verizon does in fact have the largest network.
The few calls I've had to make to customer service went well, i.e., they took care of my problem.
I currently have the Kyocera 6035 and it works perfectly with Verizon: 2-way SMS, free POP3/SMTP access, web. I'm waiting for the Kyocera 7135 that will be offered on Verizon probably within a month. It's a very sweet phone/PDA.
I can strongly recommend against Sprint.
Sprint has the largest all-digital network, but it's still smaller than Verizon's digital + analog network. The upshot is that if you're on analog on Verizon, there's no roaming charges since they own the analog towers; with Sprint, any time you are on analog, you are roaming by definition, and pay roaming charges accordingly. Note how Sprint never mentions this in their commercials. Anyway, Verizon is all-digital in cities and is converting the rest.
I was in downtown Sunnyvale, smack in the middle of Santa Clara ("Silicon") valley, and was roaming with Sprint. Also virtually no signal on the bay side of 101 in Mountain View; same on the north end of downtown Santa Cruz.
Sprint doens't offer true 2-way SMS; they never worked right with the Kyocera 6035 (*2 was broken a lot), and no free e-mail/web access.
Sprint does tend to have some cooler phones (and some dumb ones with silly features like screensavers), but do you want a phone that looks cool or works well?
I've read 'em, they say exactly the opposite of what you're saying.
Then either (a) you've been reading the wrong thing or (b) you don't understand what you're reading.
You're just one of those people who can never admit you're wrong.
I do admit when I'm wrong, but I'm not wrong in this instance.
protected means that only derived classes have access. Protected inheritance means that only derived classes can do the conversion from derived to base class, i.e., they have knowledge of the inheritance and, to them, it's treaded just like public cinheritance.
Protected data members or members functions means that only derived classes can use them.
Hence, protected means exactly what I said: only derived classes have access, i.e., one meaning of protected.
Sorry if you don't understand the answer, but that is the answer. Your understanding is not required for it to be correct.
... but for iSync, it is the first real release after the beta.
True, but the feature-set is no different; hence, there is nothing new to make audiences "ooh" and "ahh" over.

Why is it so frowned upon to question evolution?
The thing that so many people confuse is theory vs. fact. Evolution is a proven fact. Darwin's natural selection is one theory to explain evolution. Another is Gould's punctuated equilibrium.
An analogy: gravity is a fact. Newton's laws of classical mechanics are one theory to explain gravity. They were later displaced by Einstein's theory of relativity. But while physicists argue about theories of gravity, that doesn't make gravity any less of a fact.
Except for software that actually processes words where the algorithms are geared for English, e.g., word processors (word selection for non-Roman languages or those that go right-to-left), search engines (the Porter word-stemming algorithm).
... in order to graduate I would need to take and extra 2 crdits (which I must pay for)
When I was doing my graduate degree (at UIUC), I wound up (through dumb luck, not because the school changed any requirements) needing just 2 credits to graduate. I asked my advisor if he'd give me the credits for an "Independent Study" course for writing a good research paper: he did. (However, I don't remember whether I had to pay for the credits or, because there was no actual course involved, it was no-cost.)
The University decided to close down the campus that I attended.
I graduated Poly in '89. There was talk then of the Farmingdale campus being closed at some point, so I'm surprised that (apparently) you didn't know about the possibility. (If you did know about the possibility, but signed up anyway, then you have no cause to complain.)
Then they decided to change course requirements so that they no longer offered courses that were required for graduation.
Are you sure about that? When I was there, the degree requirements changed on me too. However, we were given the option of continuing on the old requirements (for which courses were offered), or switching to the new requirements. I find it difficult too believe that they would not let you continue on the old requirements just as was done with my class.
Learn to read: I said that protected should have been used instead of static, i.e., that protected should be consistent. There is only one meaning for protected
After browsing the documentation, there seem to be several gratuitous differences. One of the most annoying I came across is the meaning of "static" for a class:
This means that this member variable or method is only available to methods in the same class, and in subclasses (static in Pike does not at all mean the same thing as static in C++. Instead, it is similar to protected in C++.)
So why not use protected and spare developers the confusion? Differences just to make your language different are bad.
The poster said he was looking for information on administering NetInfo. You pointed him to the NetInfo API documentation.
OK, you got me there. But still, any old Unix salt would reflexively try apropos(1):
$ apropos netinfo
netinfo(3) - library routines for NetInfo calls
netinfo(5) - network administrative information
netinfod(8) - NetInfo daemon
nibindd(8) - NetInfo binder
nicl(1) - NetInfo command line utility
nidomain(8) - NetInfo domain utility
nidump(8) - extract text or flat-file-format data from NetInfo
nifind(1) - find a directory in the NetInfo hierarchy
nigrep(1) - search for a regular expression in the NetInfo hierarchy
niload(8) - load text or flat-file-format data into NetInfo
nireport(1) - print tables from the NetInfo hierarchy
niutil(1) - NetInfo utility
If you're going to respond to something like this, the least you could do is offer help that's actually helpful.
It is helpful to those who have been programming Unix systems longer than you've probably been alive. The fact that it may not be helpful to you isn't relevant.
... why would I put up a page saying something that I may regret later?
But Google also searches every Usenet post made since 1981. If you've ever flamed somebody or otherwise said something in a Usenet group, it could come back to haunt you.
The submitter didn't change his search prefix. He even stated that nslookup works correctly. That being the case, it's not a DNS issue. It's the browser that is at fault.
... nobody is entirely sure how to make a profit out of them.
That's because there is no way to make a profit out of them. Most people, myself included, are just to cheap to pay per-minute/hour charges for nonessential communication. Most people simply don't need to get access to either the web or their e-mail now: it can wait until they get home/work.
The only people who would even be likely to pay are business customers on travel, but, even then, it's not a big market.

Nobody needs to check e-mail that badly. This would never make any money.

This has nothing to do with DNS!
It's a browser feature!
OmniWeb also has it as "Shortcuts" under Preferences.
