I agree. The average users that Apple targets though its advertising campaigns ("Switch", "Think Different", etc) will never hear about this flagrant disregard for its users. Not until they've shelled out 2 G's for a shiny new G5.
Apple should milk its fanatical user base for every penny they're worth. Apple has never apologized before (remember the short-lived outcry after they started charging for that.Mac service?) - Apple users quickly forgive and forget.
Why don't announcements like these affect Microsoft's stock price? You'd think that after Germany, China, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam announced their intention to ditch Microsoft products in favor of Linux, the price of MSFT shares would drop.
the A/V quality (spec. wise) seems to be pretty impressive, as well as the camera built in
You're kidding, right? Camera: 640x480 pixel resolution; 2x digital zoom
I have the Nokia 3650 with a 640x480 camera, and I'm happy with it. But my phone was free after rebate - good luck finding the 7700 for under $400. For that price, can we PLEASE get a decent a camera???
Perhaps by "dual processor" they're not refering to multiprocessing but rather redundancy. I can't see them needing a huge amount of processing power - but I can see the need for some kind of a failover mechanism in case one processor dies during combat.
Take a look at CutePDF - they stuffed GhostScript into a Windows print driver. It's worked well with the things I've thrown at it. It's also free and GPL.
I'd like to second that. I'm pulling data from Oracle and dynamically generating letters using FPDF, backing them up, and then sending them to a printer. FPDF gave me the pixel-level precision required to copy the customer's layout. It also handles graphics very well - I'm placing the client's logo on each page.
So, do you think Apple can hold out if Microsoft decided to bundle "Miscrosoft Music Store" in the next version of Windows Media Player?
There's already a "Buy Music" button on the WMP main screen - at least on my XP installation at home. Probably a partner service. I've never even considered clicking on it, though.
sure, but my phone flies around the country with me. how long is the extension on your landline?
Exactly - your mobile phone will also continue to work if you blow a fuse or trip a breaker. Or, though unlikely to happen, if you forget to pay your power bill and get cut off.
For my mobile phone, I've got a 1000 weekday minutes, free weekends, (free nights too, I think), and no long distance charges. All for $40/month. Add $2.99 for text messaging, and I've got everything I need.
Dude, relax, how much time do you think he's devoted to writing two articles about Spam? It's not like he's releasing any anti-spam code either, he just comes up with good ideas, writes articles, and inspires others to do the programming! I'm sure he's put many times the effort into this lisp thing you mentionned than into anti-spam solutions.

No, I think he meant a Bluetooth dongle for his Nextel phone. I think I paid $40 for my Belkin Bluetooth dongle.

Anybody know more about this?
Please link to it. Scientologists are on Slashdot's (or most of its users') shit-list.

Would you share that little trick?

Actually, PostScript doesn't support links anyway, so you'll lose them as soon as you printed to PS.

Dude, serious question, what if you use a cotton or nylon line to fly your kite? Those don't conduct electricity, right?
Red Hat's up2date utility upgraded and restarted SSH without disconnecting my SSH session. I was expecting to get kicked off but it just worked.

T-Mobile rocks!
Or just install CGI Proxy on your own server. I'm using it right now.
Hey, it's just an idea. :)
You're ruining my flowers, you insensitive clod!
Just stay away from my site!
Easy fix: add your phone number in plain text for the visually impaired.

The reason no one else replied to your post is because it's absolutely ludicrous and displays a total lack of knowledge about Linux administration.
