Extremely unlikely - all of the high-budget games will only be available on MMC cards. Due to various DRM features, you won't be able to copy those games to a larger card (to consolidate your game collection into a single card) or copy them directly to the phone's memory.
Gartner recommends that Windows users drop IIS and use another web server. Apache is the most logical choice.
I have heard of VERY few people running Apache on Windows. What's the point?
It would be stupid and reckless to tell a bunch of MCSE's to scrap a Windows server and replace it with Linux. If your organization doesn't have any Linux experience, the next best thing to moving away from Windows is using Apache instead of IIS.
IE 5 didn't handle gzip terribly well - I ended up disabling it on my web server. I had strange things happening - like images not getting downloaded - though the pages were perfect in Mozilla. Once gzip was off, everything worked properly.
Optimum Online already blocks 135, which is OK. But after Code Red, they also started blocking port 80, which sucks.
Though I really want to blame all the morons with unpatched IIS servers, there's this little voice in my head that's telling me that Optimum Online was more than happy to prevent those of us that don't want to pay $100+ for "business accounts" from running web servers.
By the way, a friend of mine in Houston told me his cable provider keeps all its users behind a NAT - no incoming connections at all. I guess that's the worst case scenario.
Agreed - people have mentionned that this wireless Linksys wrt54g has 16 MB of RAM - our crummy little cable/DSL routers don't have anything like that.
suppose NYCfashiongirl was really Madonna or Brittany Spears
I don't think that either Madonna and Ms. Spears are quite up to the MIT standards. Unless, of course, choreographed dancing has recently been added to the entrace exam.
Anyone know of any good Web-based (ideally PHP-based) RSS news aggregators? I'm looking for something I can install on my website and customize to my liking.
Oh look, Verizon is STILL the only provider that can cover 100% of the landmass of the most densely populated state in the union.
Coverage maps don't mean squat - my Verizon-subscribing coworkers have told me that their claim of "100% coverage in New Jersey" is bullshit. There are plenty of spots in New Jersey where your phone won't work (and neither will mine).
VoiceStream (now T-Mobile) - Has been GSM since Day 1. Worst coverage and service of any provider in the nation. GSM can't seem handle multiple providers gracefully, so many T-Mobile customers started getting "Service Unavailable" the day that AT&T or Cingular put a GSM tower on-air in their area. (See an above comment about AT&T's "No Service Weekends" plans.)
Nope - T-Mobile has better coverage than any other provide in Northern/Central New Jersey. Verizon comes a close second. You can't judge a national network by your own experience. Sprint is HORRIBLE in New York / New Jersey, but it is supposedly excellent in California.
The worst case scenario is NOT that one might end up in jail. The worst case scenario is having the vendor sue you, however frivolously, and ending up with a huge legal debt.
Another worst case scenario is getting expelled because the university wants to scare everyone else from messing with the system regardless of their intentions. Again, you might be able to appeal this and win, but you might end up losing a semester because of it.
Either way, it will require an enormous amount of money to mount a legal defense, and an enormous amount of time to appeal university decisions.
blueTooth's transmission wave length is in the range of microwaves (i.e. water heating range). why would anyone want that radiation near their brain.
Your phone's signal is hundreds of times stronger than any bluetooth headset, yet I don't hear you complaining about having a mobile phone near your body.
You can't do much with Java on mobile phones - you can't even access the filesystem, as far as I know. I've been using a Java web browser and a Java e-mail client on my Nokia 3650, and in response to my requests for more features (like attchments), the developer has told me that Java's security model prevents any significant access to the phone.
Symbian would definitely be the way, especially on a Nokia phone. SonyEricsson has been uncooperative with releasing specs on their phones - they don't want people doing "bad things", like supposedly crashing GSM networks. Nokia, on the other, just wants to sell phones - I've seen applications that do just about everything on my Nokia 3650. You can download a all the development tools for free from Nokia's website.
Garmin charges A LOT for maps
on
Garmin iQue 3600
·
· Score: 3, Informative
You know what sucks? Spending $200 on a nifty Garmin GPS unit only to find out that you have to spend another $200 on detailed maps.
The Garmin Legend came with a "basemap" of major highways and major roads, but there are no detailed streetmaps cuz you gotta buy Garmin's CD's for that.
This new unit it pretty expensive, but what how much do you have to spend for the friggin maps?

Oh wait, those fools are probably still employed, and they're probably the ones doing the "scouring".
Perhaps if the FBI started going after network admins for doing such a crappy job we might start seeing less of these incidents.

Really? I knew Linus was smart, but WOW!
Sounds like a business opportunity! Imagine how much money you could make gouging users before refill stations become common.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - MOD THIS DOWN, MOD THIS DOWN!!! We can't allow this to be seen by an airline executive!!!!! Damn yooouuuu!!!!
That's hilarious - somebody mod this funny, cuz some moron modded it insightful.

So what does the Slashdot crowd recommend?

no - nobody supports the headset/handsfree profiles on PC's
