Ah, I was waiting for the car analogy folks to show up. Just out of curiosity, why go with the Ferrari in this instance? Our research shows that 77% of people in your position would have gone with a BMW or Mercedes comparison.
Not to mention, if they leave now and budget 20$ for parking once they get there, by the time they get around to landing the US Dollar won't be worth jack s**t.
Do you really believe that a CIO understands all of the underlying technology in the IT department, even at a basic level? Trust me, most don't.
QFT... I'm in the process of customizing SugarCRM Open Source for our company's needs, and after I'd pitched a demo to my CIO to show him what we'd be able to do with it once finished, he was really impressed. A week later I hear him in a meeting with management: "Yeah, it's open source, which means it's the same guys that did this that wrote Linux.". *shrug* At least I got management approval:P
I do have both except I pay for the Enhanced account at Fastmail. GMail doesn't compare in terms of features, with Fastmail offering full Sieve scripting, I've got my domain hosted and sieve lets me do pretty much everything I ever wanted to do with email. It's also great for managing spam.
Fastmail lets me use webDAV to access my file storage, and I just love IMAP/IDLE support. With Fastcheck installed that monitors my mailbox with IDLE, the notification often pops up before I get it on my Blackberry (PUSH-based), something Exchange has never managed to do at work.
I get loads of spam in my GMail even though I've never given it to anyone, which I think speaks for itself. 1 or 2 spams a week with Fastmail and I've had it for 8+ years.
If he honestly gave a damn, he'd realize that/he's/ the one who has the power and weight to fight those companies, not us.
What do you think coming out in the open against DRM is? It's as much "fighting" those companies as he can in his position. He knows he can't sell his music non-DRM'd, but letting people know whose fault that is might trigger a reaction from the heavyweights in the industry.
This comes from the fact that Americans like to be better at everything... They can't stand the fact that us Canadians have a bigger market share at Piracy than them, so they're making plans to turn the tables.
I hear it's the MPAA's new motto for 2007, "Bring Our Pirates Home" or something.
1. Canadians can't rip because movies aren't released yet.
2. Americans see big demand for movies from up north.
3. Americans rip their asses off to fill the piracy demand.
If this were to happen, any funds you had in penny form would immediately grow by a HUGE percentage... And it couldn't really be tracked by anyone, so the tax liability wouldn't exactly be an issue.
If you understand the concept of end-to-end encryption, you'll realize that data is encrypted from device to device. The Blackberry Enterprise Server has the encryption key, the RIM servers don't.
"Recently after browsing major online retailers for Bluetooth adapters, I went to Amazon.com to find front-page ads for, you guessed it, Bluetooth adapters. Disable cookies, the ads go away; re-enable cookies and the ads re-appear. The EULA is ambiguous as usual. Try it for yourself and see."
I think they took it off, cause all I see is ads for penis enlargement:/
Surely you're mistaken... we're talking about the OS which everybody still seems to be excited about even though the features were dropped before release.
Not quite, the service you mentionned recognizes a sound clip against its more or less exact replica in the (large) database. This here matches a sound clip to a pattern to find the TV show, meaning it doesn't have all the current episodes of the program in its database, it just has statistical data and patterns which help it match the audio. The latter could successfully match new (live) episodes without having the database updated. Your tune system wouldn't.
A bunch of people are doing this here in Canada now that Bell offers 1X-EvDO (2.4 mbps), and that Skype works for smartphones. Works great with Treos and PPCs.
A couple of AAA batteries in a pocket somewhere are *no* issue at all.
No issues at all? Why I thought NOT using throwaway NiCd was the whole point of this article, and yet you post encouraging us slashdotters to follow you?
Not true, most credit card transaction receipts include only the first and last 4 digits of the credit card number. The rest usually consists of *'s or X's. This is to avoid fraud, the printout only serves the purpose of identifying the proper card with the proper sequence number, amount, date and signature. Some cheaper, less used systems WILL however print out the complete number. I would personally find another method of payment if you know place X does that, but if you have to use a credit card, don't throw your receipt away in the trash.

Duh.
I thought flash memory had a lower read/write cycle expectancy before crapping out?

Seems quite clear to me she's not associated with IBM... I guess SCO doesn't know about Wikipedia.

I would think he'd sit at home, get his welfare check and play Vice City all day, would he not?

Simple economics, now the economy is booming.
Probably through one of these popups too: http://gallery.mudpuddle.co.nz/albums/album04/Must _Click_YES.gif

Sorry, you have to have a six digit UID to know what phishing means.
Last I checked IE was a disability, so this would fall under the ADA...

Yeah, they didn't know how to use IF statements. Clearly they should have hired you to do it...
Congressmen?? Hell I just read the headline and figured it was Bill Gates...
The standard is mostly good, but it's not 100% plausible nor feasable.

Nowadays most phones are capped at 650 mW in Analog, and 200 mW in Digital modes.
I sure hope you have a good rate plan if you're gonna leave both phones open long enough to cook an egg (better get the high capacity battery too)...
