ICANN have been regurgitating this gTLD rubbish for years, trying all different angles to attract interest. So far it has been an epic fail. It must be hard for them to see big companies shelling out measly $30/year for their TLD.
Even so, a simple one will *still* work without electricity if you spin the record yourself. Plus you mean to tell us you have never seen a gramophone? Not even on TV or a movie?
I find it more sad that people think crime will be solved by removing the tools of that crime. After guns are removed and people start using knives they will be the first people to limit the size of knives people can buy. After that?
Would you rather be robbed by a person with a gun or with a knife?
Looks like I will have to take great care of my N900. It's the first and last of it's kind.
Want to buy an extra one?
I stood firm for a year while there were no relevant developments on the maemo/meego platform. The Nokia maps software is awful; google maps isn't available and the feeble attempts around are just that. The facebook application is limited to uploading pictures and a status widget that eats through your battery.
When my company upgraded Exchange and the synchronisation stopped working I finally gave up. It was a nightmare getting it to work to begin with.
Angry birds works pretty well tho. And I like the FM radio. Too bad it locks-up if you receive an SMS while listening.
I use telnet constantly. Port 110 to check for a broken email header, Port 25 to check for SMTP auth errors, Port 3200 to check for the present of a NetGen DSS unit, etc, etc... I love telnet. Simple 3-way handshake and boom, datastream.
You use a telnet application/client; you might as well have been using netcat or any other TCP client. I doubt many people still have telnet servers running (emphasis on many).
Will Yahoo still have 1M users by year-end to shut out?
I have recently changed my default search engine in Chromium to Yahoo because of Google's annoying Instant Preview "feature" that can't be turned-off.
Guess what? I can still find the answers I'm looking for and, when I don't, I skip to Google to double-check. So far, after 1 week, I still haven't found a result in google that wasn't in Yahoo.
The ranking might be a bit different but after a while I'll probably stop double-checking results in Google altogether.
Maybe as all mail behind NATs get blocked by spam filters the network administrators will actually start blocking mail from infected hosts in their network so that legit mail is accepted again. Wishful thinking?
Given that this is a list of "Windows' Failed Rivals", OS/2 rightfully isn't on that list... IBM continued to release new OS/2 versions for nearly a decade after its initial release.
Why do so many articles ignore the fact that there is more to Flash than video?
Because there is less to Flash than video
If you are stupid enough to use flash to build your web site when HTML would have done just as well (drop down menus, anyone?) then you deserve it.
Heck, the other day I turned-down a vendor in favour of a competitor because their web management portal required flash. It wasn't just pretty reports or anything like that - the whole bloody site is flash! you can't even see the menu.
I agree. My Dell Inspiron 1501 is 3 years old and I was ready to replace it because of a failing hard disk.
Looking for a disk replacement I came across a Silicon Power 128GB 2.5" MLC SSD for A$330. Since it is the same size of the disk shipped with my laptop I can still fit all my stuff and my Ubuntu installation boots in 8 seconds.
The speed difference is still brutal, even with an encrypted home directory. I am very happy with the upgrade and don't see myself shopping for a new laptop for the time being.

So... this person broke 3 phones and didn't give up? Do me a favour, will you? When you get a chance break this one and let me know if he/she gets a new one.

Expensive mistake.
We have a rat infestation problem in Sydney at the moment. Can we train them to detect bombs and sell at a mark-up?

In his novel Saturn's Children. The city in Mercury is built on top of rails so that it can always be on the dark side of the planet.
wow! the recommended products on the titles above leave no shadow of doubt about the target consumer of these. Just eew.
from the memo:
Disposable accounts are similar to the service a pre-paid phone offers to drug dealers (a disposable, untraceable communication device).
I wonder how did he come across this service? I mean, even if you think doing drugs is ok it's a questionable example to use in a corporate memo.
Wasn't the colour-coded threat level discontinued? I thought I remember reading about it on Schneier's

Well, if sending LIVE people...is this voluntary, or can we vote who goes to Mars one way.
It's Mars, mate. Not Australia.
