What the guy above is trying to say is that you can't RETROACTIVELY change the license to GPL'ed software. If version 1.0 was GPL, you can make version 2.0 non-GPL. But anybody can take version 1.0 and continue working on it, forking it into a new product, and there's nothing you can do about it. That's because the license to 1.0 can never be changed - that "permanence" is in the GPL.
How much do you play for your plan? Because I don't have SSH with my current "free" T-Mobile data plan (they charge an extra $20 for the "premium" data plan). So if I want SSH, I'd have to pay an extra $20 on top of my $40 voice plan.
They don't do the e-mail thing anymore, use the form on their website to request your unlock code.

I had two earlier phones (Nokia & Motorola) unlocked via the e-mail, and I recently had my Nokia 3650 unlocked via the above form.
Just make sure you've been a customer for at least 6 months, and that you are STILL a customer.
I can install anything I want on my Nokia 3650 on T-Mobile - which was free after rebate when I got it, but now you'll get paid $50 after rebate.
Carriers like Verizon and Sprint do their best to limit what you can do with your phone. They think that earning pennies by selling crappy applications and ringtones is of greater value than keeping their customers happy.
Nokia also provides enormous support to software developers. You can download free IDE's and SDK's from their website. Pick your favorite language - C++, Java, OPL, VisualBasic, and soon Python. Nokia puts no restrictions on what you can do with YOUR phone. WHY? Because they know that they're in the business of selling phones, not software.
Aren't Dells like under $400 now? I paid $3200 in the summer of 1997 for a top of the line Gateway (PII 266). Now I can get a top of the line 3+ Ghz PC from Dell for under $500.
No, the remote controlled one is under US$1000, they don't actually list the price of the autonomous GPS-guided option. This guy says that it's US$5000.
Hmm... I'm a cop, I'm bored, I see you and decide to find out who you are, "Sir, we're looking for a rapist that matches your description, may I see your identification".
How do you know the cop's actually looking for someone? Is it illegal for him to tell you whatever story it takes to see your ID?
I have to wonder whether anyone would be stupid enough to buy Palm-based hardware knowing that they would be spending additional money to buy sync software.
I think consumers have gotten used to getting free sync software. Unless a device has passed its EOL, I just don't see anyone paying for drivers or sync software.
Good point. It's not that Microsoft is evil, it's that it has an army of lawyers ready to enforce its intellectual property rights.
So while "accidentally" borrowing GPL code might get you a bunch of angry e-mails from slashdotters leading you to apologize, borrowing MS code might have more painful consequences.

I've got an open hard drive (purely decorational) next to me - where's the magnet? Is it big enough to be fun?
PricelessWare is better. Actually, I think that's the best site for Windows freeware on the web - everything is reviewed.

Daemon Tools does the same thing, and it's free for non-commercial use.
And you'd lose the menus, which he wants.

A better question would be, who would trust Microsoft?

Then why didn't he make sure that the girl was OK? He didn't even talk to her until her father had been arrested and she herself was freaking out.

Seriously, don't look at it, you will no longer be considered "clean" and might become a liability to any project you work on.
