That gets annoying if i need to change pants or my jacket.
What sort of pansy changes his pants more often than once a month? Be a real man, for once. And by real man, I mean a real stinky man. =)
BTW, jokes aside, is your jacket one of these? (Hey, it looks like they're having a sale on pants, too. Yay! I can start changing my pants once a week!=)
I think he means that because the carriers are used to making a hefty margin on that $3 ringtone, they're expecting at least as high a margin on an actual "real" song.
I'll vouch for what Nano says, although I did go the BT route. I have a T610 and I use T-Mobile. Downloaded the midi to the computer and uploaded to the phone. It took maybe 2 minutes (other than the time spent looking for the midi, which was maybe 10 minutes.
This is the fourth time you've posted these same links.
What is wrong with you? Are you one of those people that thinks that repeating something over and over again makes it true? Wipe the froth from your mouth and breath through your nose for a bit.
I really hope I don't have to see another duplicate post of yours as I read further down.
You don't support the truth by pulling numbers out of your ass nor pulling numbers out of someone else's ass. Your sources are unreliable. What Apple reports in it's conference call better be reliable, because if it's not, they're open to shareholder suits and SEC action, not to mention possible criminal prosecution (you ever hear of this guy, Eliot Spitzer?).
Look at the date on your linked article. Apple has since reported, in conference calls when they report earnings, that iTMS is making a small profit, that volume is such that their over the break even point. Note that this profit was pretty small (I think on the order of a million bucks), so not highly significant to overall profitability, but it's a nice bragging point for Apple, that iTMS is no longer a loss leader.
However, what it still points out is how difficult it is to make enough profit on the iTMS model, which is why Napster and others are using or experimenting with subscription models.
I didn't know about this shortcoming of Preview. Thanks for pointing it out. I've always hated Acrobat Reader because of the bloat and performance issues, but I'll give it a second look, and at least keep it on hand for situations (with contracts, etc.) that you describe. Thanks again.
But seriously, I haven't used this app since I started using OS X, which comes with it's own reader, Preview. Preview runs much faster than the Acrobat Reader I thought I knew.
After the glowing reports here (albeit for the "linix" port), it might be worth checking out again.
Lets have a little contest as to how large of objects we can shove up the collective rectum of Adobe. -me
Exactly how large are you? And why are you volunteering? =) (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
The whole Sklyyarov thing was a bad chapter for Adobe, but they reversed themselves and apologized, IIRC, and it happened quite awhile ago.
And the main thing is that Adobe publishes some very important proprietary software that would be a real boon for Linux (at least in terms of acceptability for the desktop) if they ported. So a port of Acrobat Reader is not a small matter, perhaps even a big deal if it's an indication that Adobe might start porting other applications (or is at least open to the concept). But even if that doesn't happen, this port of AR is still a good thing for Linux.
Honestly, I stopped using Acrobat Reader when I started using OS X. I used to hate it, and it's not something I would point to to claim "superiority" for OS X.
Furthermore, I don't think that I've ever claimed that OS X is the superior OS for everyone. At most, I've said that OS X/Aqua is a better target to shoot for than Windows, as far as development of Linux desktop GUIs go. Believe me, if I didn't think Linux and OSS weren't a good things, I wouldn't waste nearly as much time here on slashdot. I look forward to the day when I find Linux to be the "superior" desktop environment for me.
I suspect you think you're Dick fucking Tracy. Any more brilliant deductions?
Why is it that total idiots say things like, "I suppose you think you're really smart"?
No, buster. I don't think I'm really smart. But I can tell you're stupid. Why did we have to upgrade to jericho4.0? jericho3.5 wasn't bloated and stupid. Hell, jericho2.0 had a functioning spell checker. Why'd they take that out? Is there a patch to make jericho4.0 less retarded that I didn't hear about?
Slashdot Mirror
This is the classic Robin Hood defense, and under American law, essentially worthless in court.
Maybe it's worthless in court, but it rhymes, so I imagine Johnny Cochrane could use it pretty effectively.

Dum-de-dum-de-dum-de-dum,
He hummed.
You are on a roll!
I disagree, it's both a troll and flamebait. But it's mostly funny, which is the most important. Keep up the good work!
This phone was designed with your mind in mind.

He'll be surprised by the unexplained calls on his bill until he realizes his phone has been calling a support group.
I'm stealing some one else's joke, but what you're describing is the iPhone Shuffle. Because life is random, why shouldn't your phone calls be random?

CC companies have a minimum charge per transaction.
You pretty much lost me with your first source, downhillbattle.org, which lost all credibility (with me, anyway) after the iPod battery hoax/fiasco.

No, but they add money to the owners of the company, the shareholders, who are ultimately the employers.

Does M theory hypothesize N-dimensional zombies?
Thanks for point that out. I was all set to register for cosmetology school, thinking it would be a growing field with lots of opportunities.
Some of you old timers need to go back and listen to Bob Dylan.
Oh yeah?
Well, some you young whippersnappers need to go and listen to. . . to . . to a band that's so new the members haven't even been born yet!!!!!!
And get off my lawn, before I call the cops!!
Just to show you how forgiving and big hearted we Americans are, we'll be happy to join your coalition any time you want to invade Egypt. =)
Well, maybe Mexico will follow Canada's lead, so we can say, "Two out of three ain't bad."
