  1. Now what would be impressive.. on Land Rover Unveils "World's Toughest Phone" · · Score: 1

    is a phone that just works under normal usage pattern for most people. I'm talking about a simple candy bar phone like the ones Nokia used to make in 2001. Nowdays you cannot find a phone that does not have internet capable browser, email, etc. What happened to building a phone that does its primary function well. My ideal phone would have: 1. Excellent voice reception 2. 1 week + battery life 3. Bluetooth capability (hands free driving laws in my state) 4. sturdy design - survive a 3 ft fall to concrete - I don't expect to be chucking it out of a 2nd floor window! I can loose all the other bells-and-whitles. Of course, one simply can't buy a phone like this anymore in the US (especially if one wants it to work with AT&T).

  2. Re:why do they need my e-mail??? on Post-crash Salary Survey · · Score: 1

    Actually spamgourmet.com has an even better way to create disposable e-mail addresses. You should really check it out if you plan on using disposible emal addresses

  3. Re:HOLY HELL! on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 3, Informative

    JBuilder has a cousin. Oracle's JDeveloper! Oracle licensed JBuilder code from Borland and started a separate branch in the late 1990s. It is a very good IDE. And yes, its free for "personal" use and it works on Linux.

  4. Re:Bill Gates just sold 2 million shares of Micros on Microsoft Antitrust Judgement · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bill Gates has 622,321,300 shares of M$. So selling 2 million would be approx 0.16% of this stake in the company. This looks less like the actions of a rat abandoning a sinking ship and more of a rich guy deciding to go shopping this weekend..

  5. Citibank allows Mozilla but... on Online Banking And Browser Support · · Score: 1

    It is less user friendly. They use cascading menus for their credit card website which only works for IE. For mozilla, only the top level menus show up; the users have to click on those and get to the leaf level by going through several pages (which, BTW, look really ugly as all they have is the links for the next menu level).
