Or calling your company Apple when there already was a company out there called Apple (The Beatles). Apple (Computers) originally agreed not to enter the music business and Apple (Beatles) would not enter the computer industry.
It was quiet because all the major players in the field are members of the GSM Alliance where they agree to cross-license patents in order to gain access to the GSM technologies at a cheap rate.
Apples open shots were due to them demanding the same rates as GSM Alliance members but refusing to put their patents into the pot like everyone else did.
SpaceX make their money on the Falcon launch system, not the Dragon capsule as their are limited customers at the moment wanting to put people into orbit.
If the phone is still under contract from the networks then it should still be updated & supported. Bad show by both Samsung and the networks for dropping it while many users still had it under contract.
If its not worth their time then they should have released all the code for it aswell as making it easier for the community to update the firmware. No company makes money from updating firmware (unless they charge for the updates). As it is, I won't be buying Samsung due to their treatment of customers with the i7500.
NASA are the admin, everything else is sub-contracted out...
Engineers are sub-contactors from the likes of SAIC ( http://www.saic.com/ ) & Booz Allen Hamilton ( http://www.boozallen.com/ ) aswell as the manufacturers (Boeing, ATK, Lockheed Martin, etc). Launches are handled by ULA ( United Launch Alliance - http://www.ulalaunch.com/ ) In-space operations are handled by USA (United Space Alliance - www.unitedspacealliance.com/ )
Both ULA & USA are joint operations of Boeing & Lockheed Martin.
Seeing as Samsung said that any versions of Android above 1.6 wouldn't work on the original Galaxy (i7500) and the community got Froyo working on it nicely - I'd hope they're bringing him in to show the other developers in house how to work with Android properly rather than the less than optimal code they put out now.
As for locking bootloaders, etc - others have been just as capable of breaking them:-)
My PC isn't always connected to the net - its a little hard to get a decent connection when you're out at sea. So I don't buy "always connected" games. Which is a shame, because there are some great single player games out there which have been crippled by needing a permanent net connection.
It was on my list of games to get - as I loved the previous Diablo games, but if they're going to cripple single player with online DRM then I'm out.
Until the government changes and re-prioritises its spending & services. Then you're privatised out and have to reapply for your old job through a contracting agency as the new organisation doesn't want any permanent employees to cut the benefits they need to provide them.
Technically thats illegal - same with MS Media Player and all the other music players which will rip a CD to your media library. Of course, this means that Apple & Microsoft are facilitating the crime and so should be triple fined for it:-) Its not as if either company are doing much with their billions and the governments could do with a few extra dollars.
The problem with civilian contractors is that the companies are only interested in the money. The workers might be motivated by national pride and security, but the company is only in it for the money.
They could revive some of the cancelled projects like JIMO - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Icy_Moons_Orbiter The basis of this craft (Prometheus) would be able to provide a delivery system travelling around the inner planets to deliver cargos & satellites
The GPL version relating to this is v2 (as linked at the bottom of the article). This version of the GPL does NOT enforce recompilation & reinstallation rights - brought in to v3 to counter TiVOisation - as TiVO, Humax, and other PVR manufacturers would rather you didn't mess about with the firmware and do everything possible to stop you.
Does the GPL allow you to modify the compiled binaries - or just distribution of the source? Does Cybits then have to distribute the source for the modified version of the final binary as they modified it or as its a AVM compiled binary is AVM liable for distribution?
Cybits would have done better if they'd just released a complete firmware like OpenWRT rather than patching a firmware binary to merge in their changes.
They'll just declare them a terrorist and then use rendition to ship them somewhere from anywhere, or if they're in the UK then the UK government will just roll over and ship them to the USA before asking "so what did you want them for?"
Oracle now has their own hardware line, which doesn't involve Intel, on Sparc processors. HP used to produce their own, PA-Risc, but combined the tech with Intel to make the Itanium.
If its not a known account/address/alias then it should be bounced (return to sender, unknown user), unless you have one of those 'catch-all' email addresses which accepts anything sent to a domain
Also the orbit of the ISS is wrong for getting out of Earth Orbit. Its originally planned orbit would have been better, but it was changed to over-fly the likes of Europe & Russia when they came on board.
It would be better if they scaled up SpaceX's Dragon capsule as at least that has built-in motors for launch-abort or landing rather than the Apollo era blast stick on the top.
Slashdot Mirror
Have a squiggle logo and call it "The Department formerly known as Homeland Security".
OK, so Prince (or whatever he's calling himself these days) might complain
We've already got the rip tracks for all their actions done anyway.
Apple, HP and other large companies started out as a couple of guys providing hardware, service & support from their mom's garage.

A better way to finance future missions would be to sell sticks with moon dust on one end - after all everyone wants the moon on a stick.
Fractional reserve banking ONLY creates debt.
Do parrots and dolphins and other species which use language show the same results?

So yes, Boeing, et al. did handle all that :-)

Pumped storage schemes (like Dinorwig http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station) - but you'll never get the planning permission in to flood a few more valleys to create them.
