(1) Checkbox to disable "kiosk mode" from
EVER happening!
(2) Checkbox to disable pop-up windows (or
prompt user per pop-up) as opposed to
disabling Javascript altogether.
(3) Outlook-specific settings for HTML preview
so that most features can be turned off
for e-mail preview; stop spam from
essentially calling home via preview,
or playing virus MP3, etc. For example,
by default forbid all HTML-formatted
e-mail from accessing the Internet and
running scripts -- just totally passive
HTML. The user, at his or her discretion,
can right-click on the body of an e-mail to
select further previewing rights for
trusted mail.
(4) Checkbox to reject URLs that use unicode
characters -- just an option;
(5) Checkbox to forbid wacky URLs with "obvious"
redirection tricks;
(6) Option to set the "maximum number of
browser windows to open per second". One can
set this to a rate slower than one's ALT-F4
pressing rate, to win the battle against
run-away pop-ups.
"nearest whole number" means the whole number that is nearest to a specified number. For 1/2 there is no nearest whole number.
The CEEB policy indicates without any ambiguity what to do in the case of "1/2". However, the phrasing of the quote of CEEB policy seems to imply that "1/2 or more..." is actually part of the DEFINITION of "nearest whole number", when in fact the phrase "nearest whole number" used by the math world does not specify what to do in the case of 1/2.
I have added a section to my web page
regarding the Sun Wireless Toolkit.
I have added a section in which I respond
to the issue of deployment of J2ME apps and
making copying of apps useless or impossible
so that you can have the same "closed"
experience of the BREW model if you wish.
I have changed the phone image to a beach with
a palm tree. The original image was meant to
be fun, but it interfered with the ability of
some people to focus on the message of the
overall web page.
I just updated my J2ME web page with more images,
better formatting, clarifications, and a
new section: "RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK REGARDING
THIS PAGE" (I give my opinions on some of
the major issues raised in this thread).
I liked the post "Someone give him a coconut"
regarding my amazing discovery that using a
cell phone gives you freedom to be mobile!
I also liked the observation that the ability
to be called at any time is not necessarily a
"freedom". "I Galactus Laugh at you puny
earthling," is just what I wanted to hear!
"(Score: 0)", pretty harsh! I bet Galactus
isn't feeling the love here. (Ms. Cleo
voice:) "I'm seein' intergalactic invasion
possibly, by the Moon card!"
When I discovered that my obscure post to a
mailing list got promoted to a discussion
thread on Slashdot, I felt a little bit
guilty for presenting such a specific and
brief cell phone programming experience.
But to be honest I was only really interested
in presenting a kind of "proof of concept"
for complete newbies. Showing an actual popular
cell phone model, and the exact steps I took,
may make the concept very real for people.
Frankly I was confused by all of the development
software and the wacky error messages on my
cell phone before I got everything to work.
Thanks for the nice feedback. I'm glad something
I worked on appealed to other people.

"Can you hear me now?..." After a few minutes of silence, the Verizon Guy is totally disillusioned.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Less hail.
Will there be a "Save the Hails" bumper sticker?
