You need a plotter driver that works with all different Windows and different plotters and different AutoCAD versions. Hey - that sounds like the plotter driver we make and sell to people in your situation...
I used T-mobile's $20 prepaid SIM in my Australian Nokia 3650 (tri-band GSM). No problem. The only limitation of T-mobile is that they were limited to the local area for this prepaid service. Good in San Francisco area, but not for outside of there.
Now it could only be topped if our President (or the next one) would announce a manned mission to mars challenge, similar to the one issued by Kennedy to go to the moon in the 60s.
Won't that cost money? I think this one already spent his budget sending WMDs to Earth.
"with the attitudes of the day, you can make the case that had the blizzard of 1888 not happened, new york city to this day might resemble a rat's nest of wires like shanghai is now"
Right! Lucky that storm hit or New Yorkers would have missed 115 years of progress. Because of those damned corporations.
Many handset vendors are working with Linux in some way, and some vendors like Motorola are working with all kinds of O/S from Linux through to Symbian and MS.
But does the O/S really matter if all the phones support Java now anyway? If you're going to write software for open mobile deployment, wouldn't you be inclined to consider Java first since it alone is ubiquitous on phones? O/S generally doesn't count for much in that decision.
More than that, consider the data formats... Those indespensible new compelling 3G services if they ever eventuate will be all about selling and consuming data. Whose format(s) are service vendors going to use and support and work with? The content is what will be monetized with consumers and the format is what determines the nature of the franchises, like e.g. Office on the desktop.
Whether the data format is something proprietary like.ppt or.doc or.swf or something open like SVG or XHTML I think is more significant to mobile developers' careers than the O/S.
Look at the SMS business - the SMS standard can be implemented on any phone O/S and in fact it has been implemented on all of them. That is why SMS has been able to grow to $36b per year today.
This is where I see real potential of SVG on the web. At least, it's the project I'm working on for the foreseeable future, which will probably take me well into retirement years.
You'll get there quicker with some help:

I wonder if any of the NASA dweebs tried to get Liv's number from her dad...
i doubt it. she is from venus.
Microsoft also had agreed to help the teen get Microsoft certification training and other gifts
The victim has been assimilated.
However, now I'm thinking about names to register because a $10 cheque from Microsoft would be worth framing.
Oh? You mean like a trophy? And if Bill spat on you, what would you do with that?

are there any Minnesotans planned for the manned Mars mission?
Why not send all of them?
Israel govt's purchases account for 3-4% of MS Israel's annual revenue.
3-4% sounds way low. Here in Australia governments account for 30-40% of MS Revenue.
Who would want to live there? At least California is pretty.
Maybe some places that aren't California are pretty.
Maybe some people live there happily.
Mars is only 1/16th of an inch wide but extremely spherical.
I would hate to be the person who got the rover stuck...
or the guy from AAA when NASA calls.Now it could only be topped if our President (or the next one) would announce a manned mission to mars challenge, similar to the one issued by Kennedy to go to the moon in the 60s.
Won't that cost money? I think this one already spent his budget sending WMDs to Earth.The landscape seems a lot flatter than where Pathfinder landed.
This one was shot in a different studio.
It'd be a good way to get a message through to your great great great great great great great great great grandchildren. Not easy to do.
so stop attacking me the same time you thank me for my interesting story, asshole
OK. Next time I will just attack you.Interesting story.

The consistency surely comes from having the entire codebase to refer to
Within Microsoft they can refer to their entire code too. If they want to do that.
... a lot can happen between Europe and Africa in just 750 million years.
You forgot about tourism being the biggest industry.
Are you sure? How about agricultural products?

Graffiti from Newtown, Sydney in the 1980's:
Q: What's the difference between Telstra and a bucket of shit?A: A bucket of shit doesn't continually rip you off.
This sort of metric just seems extremely silly. Is someone putting pressure on BigPond, or is one of their executives being an idiot?
Don't wonder too hard mate, this is Telstra .
Right?
Everybody who knows Hayes remembers Ward Christensen's Xmodem file transfer protocol.
This was Ward in 1980. I wonder where he is now?This is where I see real potential of SVG on the web. At least, it's the project I'm working on for the foreseeable future, which will probably take me well into retirement years.
You'll get there quicker with some help: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/links/SVG supports gzip. SVGZ files are efficient because verbose, repititious text compresses well.
Look at the filesizes in these examples. Betcha can't make PDF files that small.
