Anybody see the unauthorized realistic but bootleg commercial advertising this phone on the Net? I had a link to it but it has been since taken down by Nokia's Lawyars.
It depicted a couple of zany guys taking a picture of a cat swinging from a celieng fan with this phone. Had the realistic Nokia logo and everything.
Rumor had it that the commercial was put together by one of the ad firms in charge of (or denided) Nokia's account and leaked on to the Net from there.
Definatly one of the most halarious.mpg's I have seen in a while.
I used to work on a web site that gives kids access to scientists (and astronauts) at NASA through interactive chat and webcasts. Pretty fun stuff if your kid is into space or science:
is the quote in the second paragraph: ""Now that us old geezers are out of the way, the BSD projects can reunify like they should have done years ago" said Jordan Hubbard, a long time player involved in FreeBSD from the start, but now moved onto other projects. "I understand that they're going to be implementing a new installer and packaging system, so I'm content.""
Jeez, they could have kept the charade up for more than one paragraph if they really wanted to get people going.
If it's scalable and is brought into full production, this could be a truly ground breaking mechanisim for re-newable engergy. Next to the sun and the wind, the Moon's gravitational pull on the earth is about the only other source of near infinite energy this planet has.
Dude, you have some issues to work out. If you hate people that much, why not quit your job and get one that does not require you to interact with A),B),C) or D)?
If you were a little dumber, you'd not only be dangerous, but in jail. Credit companies keep a close watch on fradulent purchaces. You would be amazed at the ability to mine data and make fast correlations between fraud claims. A couple of interviews with the clerks who sold you the pre-Pentium 3 generation hardware and pre-Kazaa generation illicit software that you would have purchased, would have ended in an arrest within a week.
The guy who pulled this off will not see the light of day for years to come once he is caught. Credit companies are like the mob, they are one of the only organizations you really don't want to f#ck with.
I heard on TV that they have contacted the issuing banks. I am going to call tomorrow and find out if mine was hijacked, then if I can get these charges to CompUSA removed
There are several stores that I will totally avoid shopping in- Best Buy, Walmart, K-mart, CompUSA, among others- if at all possible.
Me, too. I hate standing behind some smelling corn feed hefer in a moo-moo just to get some batteries. The physical store shopping experience is no fun (most of the time).
Coincidentally, I just read about technology that will allow cheap printed circuts to be used in place of bar codes. This will mean that you will not have to swipe products by that laser UPC reader when you check out. That means walking though a metal detector and signing a printed credit card receipt will be the beginning and end of our checkout experience in the future. No more hefers in moo-moo's. w00t.
Hopefully there are more people out there like you. Many people who scrap and fight over pennies (rich or poor) will halt all thier online sales once they see the sales tax charged.
The bottom line is that this *will* hurt online sales and the companies that depend on them. I guess the states are taking advantage of what they see as a failed buisiness model. I imagine they (except CA) would be happy if people would stop shoping online altogether and go to thier own states brick and mortar stores instead.

Ahh, but it's a whole different story you see. The first was about *UC*linux being ported and made to run on Apple's iPod , this one's about Linux being ported and made to run on Apple's iPod
Well agreed. My Dad gave me his 1yr old HP laptop after he used it as a desktop or plugged into the wall full time. The battery lasts 15 mintues on average as a result. Oh well. Beggars cannot be choosers.
Washington, Taiwan's main trading partner and arms supplier, has said the island's failure to protect intellectual property rights is causing hundreds of million dollars damage annually to U.S. recorded music, software and motion picture industries.
But pirating music and software is what makes Bill Gates and Brittany Spears "Super-Stars Number One !!!! {:>" in those countries minds.
I'm with the protesting students. Haven't the heirs of these long since dead artists recieved enough royalties from thier work? I am all for *certain* people getting paid for what they create, but the patent holders need to take some cues from Linus Trovolds and learn how to sustain on the satisfaction of millions gleaning pure joy from your creation. Not Money.
I dont' think repeats are a serious downfall. If you have already read about it.. SKIP IT. I am getting a little tired of _every_ single new wireless device getting covered on the front page however. Is this really burning news that every geek must know. Most of the people who read this site already have 1year contracts they are locked into anyway. If I want to shop for wireless phones I would go to amazon.com. sheez.
A better way to prove your point is to advocate the use of openSSL and other non mainstream solutions. You have a valid point, but busting open everyone's secure data using a distributed crack is irresponsible, lame and dangerous. Get some ethics.
Becuase this story was posted on Wednesday already. Not only that, but it was the very last story on the topic of the "Internet". Either the mods have short memory loss, or they did not bother to look at the first posting which mentioned the IRIS grant as well.
Me Too! Once I bought the $60 factory published repair manual, the codes and an easy method of having the car cough them out was right there in the book. The book paid for itself after having to replace two timing belts, a water pump, rotor and oil pump. D@mn 200,000+ mile cars.
... that 2 companies dominate with thier heirs or stock holders comprising of 8/10 of the top 10 richest persons in America. Also, it is slightly un-settling that Walmart alone keeps positions 4 to 8 in the list.

Here is the latest story from an advertising trade rag. Here is the link to the commercial if you just can't wait.

.. people say that /. contains too many dups. He should not make fun of it on 4/1 if it's true.

Here is a far more original idea I just saw on news.google.com. It's a power source that runs on vodka.. yeah!
If it's scalable and is brought into full production, this could be a truly ground breaking mechanisim for re-newable engergy. Next to the sun and the wind, the Moon's gravitational pull on the earth is about the only other source of near infinite energy this planet has.
I am sure more will be available about the subject at a later date but, here is what would be interesting to know:
+ How much power/water does one of these amonia powered drinking fountains produce?
+ Is it scalable, should I start writing my congress person to de-comission Califoria's oil powered plants?
... and now there are drops to drink.

I doubt the fact that none have been used will be true for very long. I'd better check my statement tomorrow.

No it's a sign of econmic imbalance. I did'nt say that I wanted thier money, just that it was strange that only two companies dominated the top 10.
