    Thanks for the link but shouldn't you be concentrating on landing the probe instead of surfing Slashdot?

    I don't think you understand what "web design" is. A web designer doesn't go near a sql server.

    Trademarks. You can use RH code under the GPL but they don't let you use their trademarks.

  12. Re:Awesome on Apple May Introduce New iPod on Wednesday · · Score: 1

    Now I know that every time this is mentioned some Apple fanboy will pop up and say that AAC is open, but I've never found anything other than the iPod that can play it.

    Wow. My Nokia N95 must be a figment of my imagination then. An AC says so.

  14. Re:whats wrong with paper tickets anyway? on E-Voting Report Finds Problems with Modern Elections · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My council was one of those piloting electronic counting. The main stated reason for doing so was to save time. They started counting on Thursday at 10pm. They declared the result the following Tuesday. With a manual count the result in usually known sometime on the Friday.

    And, as the report linked from TFA points out, in a lot of Scottish constituencies the winning margin was less than the number of "spoilt" papers, meaning that, had they been counted, the outcome could have been completely different. I believe this is known as disenfranchisement.

  19. Re:Yes! on T-Mobile UK Blocking Mobile VoIP Start-Up · · Score: 1

    In the UK we manage 5 mobile networks. And yet we still have some of the highest mobile termination rates in the world. I can make cheaper calls to the other side of the world than I can to a friend's mobile in the same town as me.

  20. Re: Can mobile companies successfully crush VOIP c on T-Mobile UK Blocking Mobile VoIP Start-Up · · Score: 2, Informative

    T-Mobile ironically are the least restrictive when it comes to use VOIP over the data service. It's "discouraged" but not barred. Vodafone on the other hand bar it - even if they don't have a mechanism in place actually to detect it : http://leavingthedayjob.blogspot.com/2007/06/does- anyone-at-vodafone-understand.html
