The person on the other end of the phone just keeps babbling away, unaware that a semi is not totally in his lane and I have to decide whether to pass or ease off the gas.
You need silence for that? Shit. I must be Michael Schumacher or something.
Luckily I've never needed Nokia's customer service. But then again, is it a good thing to judge a company on how well the department that handles things going wrong works? Perhaps Ericsson have lots more practice?:)
I don't want another Ericcson since Sony bought them. Had a P800, and a P910i (and maybe a P900?), but I'm a Nokia man all the way now. N80ie for me, and N95 from work. Good stuff. This page shows where I am via GPS, falling back to cell triangulation if I'm not running the app. Quite nifty.
Interesting post. The obvious counter to the "groupthink" problem on the web is for you to be unidentifiable. That way, if Peon17613 feels like disagreeing with the group consensus, Peon14161 won't be able to berate him/her, apart from only in the web world. I bet if the aforementioned Germans thought they could disagree and say that invading Russia was a stupid idea without being noticed, and suffering punishment afterwards, a lot more would have said so.
Zen are great. I'm with them too. I've asked them for IPv6 though, and they tell me that there's no demand for it. And when I point out that until they offer it, they can't see what the demand is, they just go Um, er, well.

If Google, and Slashdot moved, people might start using it. I've been running a dual-stacked network for about 5 years now. You can't even tell what you're connecting over.
Bah. This is exactly what I was trying to do. Lots of road users, all updating a central server with road speeds, and the ability to smartly reroute people based on knowledge of delays, etc.
I shouldn't think it'll be long, now that people have phones (IP connection) with GPS built-in. It's not much further until end users are offered a cut in the monthly costs in exchange for providing data of their movements.
Of course, the security/privacy implications are something that need to be carefully worked out - TLS protected location updates, and no identifiable information would be a good starting point.
Why can't we get read of strcpy from the C libs (perhaps with a compile time flag to use them if you have to have them)?
Sure, it would break stuff, and cause a few headaches - but what's that saying about eggs, and omelettes?
If you're running Ubuntu on a laptop and your Wi-Fi card is not detected or supported, try installing the Ndisgtk package (listed as such in Synaptic, but as 'Wireless Windows Drivers' in Add/Remove Applications).
Sucks be to you if your only connectivity is Wireless...

Black Cat Networks do native IPv6 though.

Aaah, I don't browse down in the depths of Slashdot, so it was new to me :)

No, it was in the Soviet Union, in the Ukraine.
Bristol Zoo has an albino penguin. Very rare. I asked Linus via email if we should kill this abhoration, but he said no, diversity is good.

Surely sounds that humans can hear aren't ultrasonic, by definition.

You could have. Just because you say Coulduv....
I wish more people would think like you.
