It may be because I just started my first coffee, but as far as I can tell from reading that you only need a validly licensed copy of any windows operating system. It says absolutely nothing about only installing it on a validly licensed copy of any windows operating system.
I don't think most people wondered why their computers clock didn't change, they probably just changed it when they saw it was out of sync. They probably don't care at all, it was just another clock to change, if anything they might notice it change on the proper date and then change it again, they probably don't care at all.
I actually had a plan drawn out to convert half my chest freezer into a cooler for my computer. I gave it up when I realized that the freezer was much more useful for keeping food frozen and that having the computer in there would probably not keep the rest of the food cold enough.
I just got a Sony Ericsson k790a this week and it allows me sync with outlook and it will transfer anything I want with the included software. For the transfers I have the option of using bluetooth, infrared or the included usb cable. The only crippling thing I have found so far is I can't set an mp3 as a ringtone unless I download it from Rogers. Although I have heard of ways to get around that. One of the interesting features is I can use the phone to control media player or slideshows on my computer over bluetooth. There are phones that allow you to do some of the things promised but from what I've heard a lot of the time you have to unbrand or unlock the phone before you can do anything with it.
Whether or not there is an upgrade to allow Dave to work straight off the phone who knows, but I bet an application can be written and used to interact with DAVE when it comes out. So to answer your questions yes I believe they will allow you to fill a 20 GB harddrive with whatever you want off your computer, I really don't think they want people downloading 20 GB worth of crap over the air. As for the second question I have PDA-like software that syncs my phone with my PC.
Even if the levy is removed, you aren't going to get money back from what you purchased when the levy still existed. Just like if you downloaded music while the levy exists, which is perfectly legal, they can't charge you for it. They will only be able to charge you if you download after the levy is lifted at the same time when you will no longer have to pay the levy.
During one of my recent interviews they told me that my answer of the manhole cover being round to keep it from falling in the hole was wrong. I said no I'm pretty sure thats right, having never thought of the question before I stuck to my guns turns out there are a ton of answers to the question, including, one person to move as you can roll it, the tube that it covers is round and many more. I was offered the job but turned it down for other reasons.
I'm not sure whether I should call you lucky or call the people where you live retarded. I'm going to go with the lucky, in my town hell my whole province, if you had an area like that people would use it as an excuse to speed up to make sure they got into the narrow area before the car beside them.
The problem with Palm memory management and a lot of other things with their API is that it is not standard. You have to go Char * temp = MemPtrNew(StrLen()); to create then MemPtrFree(temp); and if your dealing with creating a pointer from a handle depending on where you get the handle you might have to create it then lock it then create the pointer then unlock it when your not using it once your done with it you lock it free the pointer the free the handle. Its not a terrible situation its just not standard at all. For memory management you can use standard c style of char * temp = new char[]; and delete [] temp. But sometimes you have issues with it so you just don't. That brings me to another point where I have Char for the first example isn't a typo, they actually recommend that you use all their macros for all the types so you never actually use char you use Char, Int32 for int and so on and so forth. After saying all that I don't hate development on Palm it just has a lot, and I mean a lot, of quirks for things that are standard everywhere else. It is almost like they chose to ignore standards and just do things their way.
I don't think stupidity should be illegal, but we should stop protecting stupid people so much. Unless there is a legitimate concern here, I haven't used one so I don't know, then having to replace a TV you broke by being stupid should teach you to not be stupid anymore. The American society seems to encourage people to be stupid.
I don't think that is a good idea. If all fiction is unable to be patented it while not stifling innovation it would hamper development, who would want to invent a warp drive that would cost some very large amount of money to develop if as soon as they were done anyone was able to copy the design because a patent was unavailable to them. There are many other examples. I think this should fall under the so obvious that it doesn't deserve to be patentable rather than to change the rules and say that if it has been designed in fiction you can't get a patent.
He never once mentioned litigation. All he did was say that these are the problems that could have happened, it is you who made the jump from the problems to litigation.
They addressed that at the end of the article where it says that they are unwilling at this time to explain how they plan to do it in their retail stores. I would guess that it may be some sort of rotating thing where you have three groups of employees the first has to be there during week one the second during week two and the third during week three with almost normal scheduling rules applying to each group during their week. Almost normal meaning that you aren't going to schedule quite enough people but almost enough. If it isn't your week to work then you can come in if you want to work. There are some obvious flaws to this plan, like everyone is going to want to work the busy times and no one is going to want to work the slow times, you could implement a no more than X employees working in a department at a time based upon the expected busyness of that department at that time.
The 650 version is more locked down but it is much older, as far as I know the 680 and 750p aren't available in Canada quite yet so I have no experience with any of the newer versions. The 750w was released earlier this year.
If you are running the latest firmware on your Treo 650 you will be unable to get WiFi working at all. There were some hacks that worked with a previous version of the firmware but with the newest version they have made it impossible to get working although it wasn't really ever supposed to work in the first place, some guy named shadowMite got it working through a lot of hard work.
Judging from the iPod I'm going to say they will never make it just work with Outlooks calendar, contacts and email. They will make it just work with there own software and force people to use that instead, just as they have done with the iPod and iTunes.
GC.Collect() is the proper method to attempt to force garbage collection in.NET, however, MSDN has something very interesting to say about that particular method.
Use this method to attempt to reclaim all memory that is inaccessible. However, the Collect method does not guarantee that all inaccessible memory is reclaimed.
All objects, regardless of how long they have been in memory, are considered for collection; however, objects that are referenced in managed code are not collected. Use this method to force the system to attempt to reclaim the maximum amount of available memory. I always get a little scared when I read language like "attempts" and "does not guarantee" in MSDN. Sorry about the previous rants, Garbage Collection is something that occasionally bothers me just a little bit.
Yeah there are a couple other problems with the garbage collection in the CLR that I have found, haven't had them explained to me yet but when I've written apps that consume large amounts of memory and objects very quickly GB/minute or more, the garbage collection seems to fall apart and the application never gets rid of the memory you've used. I'm still not willing to entirely say that this wasn't a programming error but after ensuring that all references had been set to null all threads had been terminated and their references set to null amongst other things I still had the same amount of memory leaking. I had multiple peers review the application and they all agreed there was nothing more to do. There were no objects pointing to each other in the application either. Interestingly enough I was asked if there was a solution to this problem during a job interview a little while ago because they had been fighting with it for a long time too. The only solution I have ever come up with for this problem was to not use a garbage collector and use a language where you control memory allocation and deallocation.
This wasn't really on topic at all but you mentioned the GC not working in a situation and that brought my rant to mind. Maybe someone actually does know the solution to the problem though if so I would be really interested in hearing it.
the new VB.NET uses Garbage collection For clarification purposes.NET uses garbage collection and VB uses.NET, someone please correct me if I'm wrong but now it doesn't really matter if you are using VB.NET, C#.NET or C++.NET it is all the same damned thing with a different syntax. Although the syntax for VB makes my eyes bleed.
Only for 2 out of the 5 times a day it crashes. The other 3 times are caused by unknown sources, and if you find out what they are Palm would like to talk to you so they can finally fix the problems.

The designers were probably paid from money that came from sales of the previous cars they made.

You are all wrong, it is nullity.

I'm sure that our High Def TVs are still considered to be low def in 1000 years.
