They say that their calls are encripted end-to-end. If you are sure of what you are saying, then someone could sue them.
But I do not think you are sure:)
Oh, I see. I was deceived by this site: http://www.spanish.bz/technology.htm . I'm sorry.
But do you agree that you have a very close connection to your language and that it's common for you to use your own words (for most stuff, tech included)? Or is it just my stereotype that's wrong?
My mother tongue is Portuguese, which is a Latin language, similar to Spanish.
I'm not absolutely sure if things in Latin America are just like in Portugal. We don't have much of our own jargon, we mainly use the English words or some simple translation/neologisms. Maybe you'll have a little more trouble with Spanish speaking people, they are very tight to their language and are known to use their own words for everything ("all" English movies have Spanish doublings).
As an example, we use Megabytes as English people do, but Spanish use Megabitas.
You can use google and search for Spanish Tech Dictionary (found this one: http://www.spanish.bz/technology.htm).

Tables are dead
Long live tables
Turning off the car doesn't lock the steering, at least in every car I drove (about 10 different, I guess). The steering will only get locked if you turn off the ignition and pull the key from the ignition.
Well, I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that BP (British Petroleum) states that the higher the level octane the less poluent the gas is.
It seems that high octane gas is purer (does this word exist?).
But... can we trust them?
Wow... I'm amazed. Here in Portugal (Western Europe), the gas is at minimum 95 octane. The next step is 98 and there's also a company that sells 100 octane gas.
But the price is way high, 1 liter (95 octane) is almost 1 Euro.
I think that the contest was a great way to discover new talented designers and to spread Slashdot.
But have you wondered to offer some T-Shirt's to some members, the most participating ones, the ones with most Karma, etc...?
After all, what would Slashdot be without them?
Sure!
After all, electronics are made to make life easier, but not to substitute you, aren't they?
This type of "smartness" could be of some utility in cases were wrong decisions made no harm, and could be undoed. Like a computer knowing what time to turn off, what do you browse next. For the cell phones I'm remembering something simple but useful: noticing (but just noticing) you that the there's a conference in town you'd like to attend.
I don't thing you're right.
Blue Screen Of Death applies to Win98, or haven't you seen that blue screen with explorer.exe error, that makes you restart?
Altough, I do believe that the original designation for BSOD came from the NT systems.
I don't know about the part of easily getting a job, but giving free RedHat formation is great!
Why doesn't this happen to me? Why do I have to pay for everything?:(
I'm European!
Maybe you're from Northern Europe, where the rate of accidents is low... But if you were from Southern Europe you'd know what I'm talking about!
For once, the US goverment spends some money in something useful to the society in general.
These are great measures against the deaths and injuries that every year happen in every road. That's something that the EU countries should copy from the US:)
Sure, but you have to consider that maybe you aren't going to use regular phone antennas, but something a bit more powerful, right?
Just for example, if you use a cellular on the car (with antenna) you get a perfect reception almost always.
It's great so much people like you are trying to stop that disease that's growing in the Cyber World - Spam.
I know that there is still a big run to reach the time when we will receive 0 (zero) spam messages, but with your help, with the help of one government's laws, and maybe with a bit of sense from the spammers themselves, we will reach it!
it shows the preformance gains one gets when you use efficient hardware (I have no doubt that their 550 mhz Ultrasparc II has nearly the same horsepower as a 1 ghz x86) and efficient caching (caching data in RAM and serving from there, avoiding disk access penalties, is a huge performance increase)
Yes, but that's what this article is all about! Showing that with good hardware and good administration you can save money, time and even the hardware's lifetime.
It isn't just 8 hits per second, but about 12 at peak times. The impressive part of the article is the low CPU usage, but we all know that Java is big when it comes about scalability. I'm no expert, but 11 hits/s on a single UltraSparc-II@550 it's not a miracle, but it's quite good! It's useful to learn something from this when you're in need to manage resources, everyday.

I misjudged your post! You seemed one of those lazy guys :)
Long live fat!
You can't walk a few meters to talk to your wife, but probably you can spend hundreds of dollars year on the gym...
But would that guarantee that another program hasn't deleted the file?

After all, he does have the money to afford all that hardware!
