As far as I know, the US is the only place where mobile operators get away with charging you to receive SMS messages. And obviously it doesn't cost anything to receive mail.
Therefore, other than the time wasted in reading the messages, it probably didn't cost the customers anything.
Now that's just plain inane. Do you really think a Danish court fined them in US dollars? The fine is $2M kroner, which is converted to USD for the story so that those of us who are not familiar with Danish currency have some concept of how much the fine really is.
I have IMAP installed so I can use Thunderbird from work Would you mind telling me how you did that? I've been trying to setup an IMAP server to serve my Pine mboxes without much luck. Could you e-mail me pointers at:
Good to know you decide whether to trust people or not based on how they look. Let me start a shell company with a supermodel for a front that you can invest your life savings in.
I don't know what you're talking about. I tried loading a bunch of articles and the longest I got was 4 seconds. If that's a latency that "renders it practically unusable" to you, you really need to chill a little.
Oh no... this is the Internet. It must be exepmt from all other laws. Except when it comes to legislating spam and such, because there, existing laws apply and are good enough. In fact, Congress should post an Ask Slashdot story before passing any law so that/. can decide whether existing laws apply or not.
I don't know about vanilla OO.o, but on Debian, I "apt-get install openoffice.org", and its setup for all users. The first time I run it it prints out "running openoffice.org setup" and a few seconds later "Setup complete. Running openoffice.org" (no dialog boxes or anything) and that's it.
Can you cite any source that confirms this? Everything I could find says that the ground software used pound-force instead of Newtons, so the thrust was off by a factor of ~4.5. Nobody says anything about conversions taking place
Its a command I use to analyze trace files from simulations I'm running. Whenever a node drops a packet the simulator writes a message to log that looks like:
1250: Node 10 missed packet 235
zcat trace.gz - Uncompress the logfile to stdout grep miss - Find all the "missed packet" messages awk '{print $3}' - Extract the third field (which is the node id) sort -n - Sort node Ids numerically uniq -c - Count how many times every node ID appears, i.e. how much packet loss that node had
This is a small rural telco, and only 200 people were affected. That amounts to $75/person. If Verizon were to be fined at the same rate per person, that would probably amount to tens of millions.
More importantly, IMHO, is the message this sends to other telcos.

If you don't want to receive spam, stop using e-mail.

Why do you need a "menu editor"? You can drag items around to your heart's content, right click to move/copy/delete etc.

Why? because that's the level of abstraction that's most convenient to your argument?
OK first off what is an Ethernet cable? You can not buy one at a store.
A google search for "ethernet cable" finds 682,000 pages that disagree with you.
By your argument, I guess you can't buy a car either... you can only buy a Honda Civic EX 1.5 5-sp Manual, Toyota Corolla CE 4-sp Auto etc.
I've heard of a webcam, but never a wecam.
Hence the HOWTO, duh!
I think you need to get laid.
Now you're just being a trend whore too... just because everyone else gets laid, you want him to as well.
... rotten fish would have been far more effective
well you have 2 years and 3 months to find a girl and get her pregnant.
Good to know you decide whether to trust people or not based on how they look. Let me start a shell company with a supermodel for a front that you can invest your life savings in.
So apart from being a wiseass, do you have a good reason why the sale should NOT be approved?

No pain at all.
That accomplishes exactly nothing. cat /dev/null > gnome, perhaps
Its true then, German's don't have a sense of humor?
Can't think of a more fun tabletop game than this

How about assuming a little and Ring TFA a little more?

Just because that's the only thing he posts, does that make the mirrors any less useful? Remember people, mod the posts not the posters!
