Yeah! Well, Applixware runs like crap on every single operating system it happens to be compatible with, particularly Solaris. And its interface looks like a very poorly designed MS Access front end:-) (I have no idea what my point is)
On the other hand, what worries me more is when the potential employer is using yahoo / gmail / hotmail and the like for their core business operations. Might not happen much in corporate America, but here in Asia it is rampant.
I guess what I'm saying is that I will judge YOU based on your email / website / public image just as much as you will judge me. It cuts both ways.
Resistive screens can do multi-touch as well. The Nokia N97 and 5800 are capable of it, though it's not terribly well exposed - I expect this is more about patents than technology.
I want my whole fridge door to be made out of one, with touch screen. I don't really know why though, maybe I could kick my fridge over on its side and watch wide screen movies...
There may be no agents wearing the interpol insignia, but the organization is perhaps sometimes accurately described as being one of the many puppet masters for police forces the world over:-)
I have no idea who Alex Jones or Glen Beck are, but an international information sharing entity that is exempt from prying eyes through immunity. Think about it.
Have you ever known someone in politics to do anything unconditionally or altruistically? I can't say that I have.
I believe in this case Twitter is used purely as one of several spam conduits to, theoretically, generate interest in what we can perhaps best imagine is part of the question mark step in/. meme speak. (Step 3. ??? - 4. Profit) Haven't you spent time around your incompetent corporate directors and overlords enough to understand this yet good sir?:-) (Lucky you I say!)
It's like a ghost town compared to a few Asian cities. Light traffic, hardly any people, clear air, you could almost eat off the concrete.:-)
I live in Manila, we have 10,500 people per square kilometer across the metro on average, though some of the slum areas are as high as 40k - and yes, they all have cell phones - we send 140 billion text messages a year, the entire country is bathed in 3.5G, surprisingly you can actually get the juicy speed goodness anywhere at any time too, so the telco drones must be doing something right.
True, but in most cases Australian GSM systems are microwaved back to the exchange, particularly so in metropolitan areas - it's utterly trivial and cheap to throw more bandwidth at the problem until throughput is no longer an issue, though the hard limit like you said is the radio spectrum - they get around this issue by using a smaller cell footprint. Starbucks will be serviced with its own discreet set of antennas, while Seattle's Best right next door does exactly the same. The two coexist happily. The problem you have now though is that starbucks might have an alliance with Telstra, while next door went with Optus instead - there is a ton of money exchanging hands behind the scenes. It's not just telco greed these days:-(
GSM voice is never allocated more than 16kbps in the bearer - pretty frequently they use 8kbps The vocoders vary between almost nothing up to about 13kbps. With compression (bog standard DTX or whatever) you can pack hundreds of voice signals down the trunk without issue. Voice is dying though:-) These days most trunks are almost entirely packet switched data - this sucks for the telco's since they can't bask in all the free money they get from voice and text, they have to actually provide a tangible chunk of spectrum for the end user. They are kicking and screaming every step of the way.
Well, next step is to physically restrain and drug passengers as they take their seats - all in the interests of safety.:-)
Fortunately the rest of the world, for the most part, doesn't have such draconian knee jerk reactions and policies as a result of a little fire in the cattle compartment.
The corporation itself has a GAF attitude (give a fuck). What we have here is someone in power with a stick up their arse wanting to clean house. Please, do tell me what this 'standard' conspiracy crap is? Aliens, mind rays? See, TapeCutter, I don't really understand because I've been blinded by the sheer obviousness of what has transpired. If you think there is no little boys club right up at the top looking out for its own, well, perhaps you need to learn to be a little more cynical in life. I spent more than a decade working for the Defence Signals Directorate, I have a little bit of a clue. For what it's worth, I left Australia 10 years ago - lets just say I watched the guy with the marker pen writing on the wall and took my bat and ball and went elsewhere..com.au is littered with trash, just like everywhere else. http://humour.200ok.com.au/ is but one of thousands of examples.
Not only that, even if I have no relationship at all with any of your group - but one of them happens to allow wall access to everyone (and many do) then I can pick through it to view various bits of profiles that I would otherwise not be able to see. Even if they are set to "Friends Only" for everything.
You CAN hide your friends list from non-friends. It's trivially simple. Go to your profile page, click on the pencil where your friends list is, then uncheck the box that says "Show friends list to everyone"
Ok, so it's ever so slightly obscure, but you can still do it. Profile picture, well, you can always delete it entirely, or upload something you don't care about - since your privacy settings were for friends and friends of friends, it makes no difference since they can still get access to all your pictures if you allow it.
True enough but I think there is also a lot of needless hype going on. They tweaked a few previously protected settings so that they went from private to public, for this they should get a slap upside the head, but it's not like you can't hide it all again. You can still lock down your profile just as much as you ever could.
Not just to add a 'me too' but I recently removed SPF completely - mostly because other people couldn't get their entries correct, or just completely failed to update it when they add in extra servers. Legitimate messages were hitting our spam folders. Since I can't train our fine worker drones to actually look in their spam, I opted just to remove it. With greylisting and spamassassin its removal hasn't made any noticeable difference aside from the false positives now being delivered properly.
There are adverts on slashdot? You have a point, but really, I decide what browsing experience I have - it's advert free. My moral guidance unit tells me it's ok with this.
I already pay my ISP for my browsing experience - I have a bunch of websites that I can maintain advert free because I work for a living. If others have to rely on their advertising models to stay afloat, that's not my problem. The internet will still be here adverts or not.
And all I've seen of religion are a bunch of books that say there is a god or gods - when you spot any of these individuals in real life, you let me know okay.
My point here is that people can delude themselves very readily, not just a few people either, but billions! What makes you think scientists are above this? You want to keep your job, you go with the status quo. You say whatever brings in the money.
The problem is not where you're looking Xeno. Imagine you put your old 'dire straits walk of life' CD (or perhaps some kind of classical compilation) in your player and fire it up. You have to crank up the volume real high, but the good stuff comes flowing from the speakers...
Without touching your volume control, grab a brittney spears disc and pop that in the tray. No further explanation is needed at this point.
In the first instance we have, for the most part, sane sound engineers doing damn good work. In the latter case we have money grubbing executives saying "Make it ~sound~ louder damn it!" They do this to the point where the entire audio spectrum is banging on the stoppers.
A well mastered recording has no 'aiming a bit low' to please anyone - to borrow some of your expletives, they are doing it fucking right. End of story.
Rather than get all abusive, perhaps you might like to step back a little and understand the fundamental electronic and signal aspects that you are clearly so ignorant of.
There are about 50 posts all saying the same thing: Audio compression. Read it. Understand it. Try not to make yourself look the fool again okay. Particularly on slashdot. Some of these people are smart buggers and they remember everything you say, forever.
Just because something 'sounds' louder, this doesn't mean a pink unicorn grabbed your remote and knocked it up to 11. Instead of playing with your little radio-shack toy, why don't you grab an o'scope and hook it up to your TV's baseband instead.
Maybe you need to get a passport big fella, have a travel through the world. Might do to reign in those angry neophyte ideas of yours and keep them to yourself until you reach your teen years though, particularly so while actually traveling. I'm glad you love your country, sometimes it's cool to be a groupie, me, I am not so patriotic, I confine my amorous nature to the entire universe - it's all good. Just a pity I have to have a passport to see some of it.

...or we keep the transparency so I can put several laptops one behind the other and finally get 'real' transparency for my xterms.
