This is a very important concept. It addresses our natural proclivity to project our response, or desires or thoughts onto others. Its okay that you don't want all those silly features but it seems most others do.
Address book, camera, sms, and alot of ring tones to choose from are for me. I would never bother with the games.
In theory the EU can put up a constellation that rivals GPS. In practice it is highly unlikely. What happened to the Euro-Fighter or even the European equivalent to the US's C-130 cargo plane. They were low quality, over priced, and they couldn't get the technology right. What about that EU constitution; it's going down in flames. Examples are too numerous to recount here. I believe many European countries could pull it off. But when the collective EU tackles a problem their track record is very poor indeed.
Wow, lots postings and analysis going on about this subject.
Bottom line: Record companies have been gouging artist and consumers alike for years; consumers are now fighting back. All the while, record companies are pursuing a losing strategy with ever greater vigour, i.e., gouging prices and suing online traders. This dynamic will destroy the recording industry as we know it today. A new and profitable way to make and distribute music will be found. But, I don't have a clue as to what it will look like.
Don't know if I ever read a great book about computer science, but... there are great things that are indirectly about CompSci.
1) Anything by George F.L.P. Cantor...his stuff is infinitly interesting. Also you can get much of his stuff in bracketed sets.
2) Great CompSci videos: all Star Trek movies, Blade Runner, Solaris (book, movie, and OS), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and finally both Tomb Raider movies.
3) Last suggestion try/. man
Hope this helps....jamej
You're right we just invent everything and put men on the moon (US creates 24% of global GDP). Judging by other anti-American comments you've made I'm starting to think you're from Canada. What gives?
Dude,
I'm with ya. My first car was '69 Firebird, over powered, under braked, and straight line acceleration that is unheard of today. Go muscle cars! Thanks for reminding me how much fun they were. jamej
Secret spam investigations? The idea is fodder for SNL. Unfortunately, these idiots are serious! This insanity has to stop. I guess because FTC is ill equiped to conduct secret/covert investigations the Deparment of Homeland Security will have to do them for the FTC.
Dude,
I live near Stutgart. I've been living in Germany for 11 months. All phones are ISDN. I have DSL for about $22.00 per month from T-Online. T-Online is part of Deutch Telecom. Deutch Telecom is a state sanctioned momopoly. There are other DSL providers for about the same price. I know one person who uses a provider other than T-Online and he is satisfied. Check this, it is all PPP over ethernet!
T-Online connection software totally sucks. It will totally screw up your computer. I only used the DSL drivers and had no problems. After I installed my little LinkSys DSL Router that supports ppp over ethernet things are okay. I'll provide more info if you want me to.
After I signed up and started paying the monthly access fee it too three weeks to get my pass word and that was how the system was supposed to work.
Write if you have questions for me. Later jim
This is the real reason college educations are not what they ought to be. The professor doesn't understand that the grades aren't inflating they are being compressed at the high end of the scale. If grades were inflating an "A" might be the middle grade now and "A^3" would be the highest grade. If this is typical of PHd critical thinking these days then we're all in trouble. Later my/. friends
You Americans? Well, well, well, ole Anonymous Coward likes a good stereotype. Keep up the good work and keep your mind closed or life will just confuse you. All Americans own guns and are irresponsible owners and think life is a movie, etc, etc, etc, who else do you stereo type?
Article states Europeans will reach a decision as soon as 2015. NASA is a disfunctional flawed organization but it some how, on the backs of damn good geeks, keeps sqeaking out successes. We'll be the only country in space for another decade or so. Then China and Japan will be full-up players in spce and we'll have serious competition again.
I live in Europe due to my job. I just don't think these nice folks will be kicking any butt any time soon.
The biggest anti competition organization on earth, the EU. Is still chasing that socialist dream. The EU will get its first Linux box up and running about the same time the EU implodes from its collective silliness. The EU is about as relevant to Linux and the open source movement as, to borrow a phrase, bicycles are to fish.
Geeks in the Corps have opportunities others only dream of....
These propsed controls are so dangerous.

I do my best to avoid politics and stay focused on technology. This issue just gets me fired up. What these greedy people are proposing is anti-constitutional. It is more than a simple minded attack on the 1st amendment. It is trying to force censorship into our personal belongings and all to appease a dying industry. Artists just neeed to find a new model for releasing their work. Just like those who created GPL or OSDN etc.. Linus didn't charge anything and he seems to be doing alright. When your the best money takes care of itself. This proposal is, at best, temp help for losers and a gross infringment on everybody's rights. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
The Marines are the coolest most forward looking military organization on earth. We should just get rid of the Army and most of the AIr Force. The Marines can do it all. They also have the best uniforms and that's no accident. I want everyone of you/.s to go see your recruiter right now, and that's an order!!
US Armey Personel Command, Arlington, VA., switched to Linux years ago. There are many other Fedral entities using Linux. I'd approach the decision maker and tell him/her of the NSA'a secure version of Linux. As long as they can save a buck or two and the end user isn't too inconvenienced it might happen. The number one biggest reason organizations don't move to Linux is the fear of not being compatible with MS Office Suite. That is what you must overcome. Good luck. Jim T.
Most job knowledge is very heavily experience based. College gives you the skills to understand what it is your trying to do, hopefully. Most people have 4 or 5 full blown careers during their working years. Just do whatever it is that you find challenging and interesting. Most people don't enough to excell at anything so it's not that difficult for an enthusiastic smart worker to get ahead. AAAHTACK... jamej
Why do you want to bust on MS instead of doing your own creative thing? Isn't it better to just do your own thing and let the markets determine the relative commercial worth of our creative efforts?

I'll never touch Calsera again. These tactics are the last refuge of a depleted loser.

4 megs of RAM on my first computer a 486DX/33, fall of 1990. Still have some of the documentation so I know it's not a false memory. Hope this helps.

All colleges in Maine are small, no need for the adjective.
I can't help you with your question. But, maybe somebody else can. Was this a helpful post ? JJ
