From the screen snapshots ITFA, it appears that the wireless provider is not AT&T. So, this is either a non-US iPhone user or a jailbroken iPhone running the 3.0 dev release.
I am amazed that so many posters are criticizing MS for attempting in Vista7 what Apple so successfully implemented in their OS X for the iPhone. Mobile = platform of the future, desktop = platform of the past, laptop = interim platform on the way to mobile/netbook.
I find it ironic that nobody is pointing out that while the emperor's new clothes are DRM laden, the court jester has tightly locked up their mobile platform while laughing all the way to the bank.
PS - if we keep calling it Vista7, I think it will catch on...
HP too. I have a Hewlett-Packard CP1700 Color Ink Jet Printer. The refilled cartridges are 1/3 the price of new ones. I bought a 100baseT JetDirect card for it on eBay for $20, and now I have a great printer that is economical to use - up to 13x19 sized paper. If I see another one on eBay or Craigslist, I'm going to buy it also.
After I took the "watch battery" out of the printer, it no longer told me that there was "a problem" with the refilled cartridges. They now last for what seems like forever, and this printer prints fantastically.
Fuck a new HP printer - they're shiny like Vista, and just as DRM laden. No thanks!
and the situation today is different how? lobbyists represent their own interests to "our" elected officials, banks get billion (no, trillion) dollar taxpayer bailouts, but when one bank consumes another bank, nobody in congress bails out my credit card balances.many
major corporations pay no taxes and keep profits offshore. iraq gets rebuilt schools, roads and hospitals on the trillion dollar cost-plus-plus plan, while in the USA, inner cities are crumbling shells.
if ever there was taxation without representation, it is in the USA in the 21st century.
Just because you don't agree with elected government officials doesn't give you the right to stop paying taxes and push the cost onto other citizens under some retarded form of social protest. By living in the country, you are accepting the whole package, including agreeing paying taxes, regardless of who is elected.
It's a good thing the founding fathers didn't agree with this line of thinking, or we'd all be having tea and cookies at 3pm, and paying a hell of a tax on it.
It takes guts to live outside a corrupt system. I did it for a while, now I am just Joe Taxpayer. I do respect the LW though for LIVING his principles, not just yakking about them.
Last time I read the Declaration of Independence, I didn't recall seeing anything called retarded... social protest - they do mention inalienable rights though. Maybe you're referring to the Declaration of Acquiescence?
We were looking for a CMS (content management system) trainer and 2nd level administrator. It's a job that requires a fair amount of intelligence and some web background, but doesn't pay a whole lot.
Our company is a regional division of a bigger firm that is the leader in its niche industry. We've been growing steadily since before the dotcom crash. Salaries are good and benefits are excellent. Opportunities for advancement are fantastic, because we mostly fill higher level positions from within.
I must have looked at more than 70 resumes and cover letters. We got them from ski-lift operators and video store clerks. 99.9% were so similar, and so equally unsuited for the job, that I truly feared for the future of America.
We finally gave the position to an intern and she is kicking ass. It's not a big money position, but given her political and technical skills, and excellent grasp of Basic Business English, she will go far in the company if she wants to.
We also just finished recruiting for a customer service rep. One of our regional managers started in this lowly position, years ago. It would be a dead end job anywhere else, but we do have more enlightened management than most companies, and talent and hard work is recognized and rewarded.
One of our developers left six months ago for a job in the telecom sector. That person is back now, and very happy to have returned to the fold.
Talent, Knowledge and Luck will find you a job anytime. There were some people who continued working through the duration of the Great Depression. Ignore media doom+gloom and keep a positive attitude, and you'll have a job again soon.
I have a number of dial phones from the 50s and before. They still work and I can still use them. They work and sound much better than the cheapo wireless phones sold at wal*mart for $70+. Not only that, the Bell phones don't emit electromagnetic radiation into my head while I am using them.
The electromechanical communications technology of the postwar Bell System was designed to survive a nuclear attack.
Current "digital" telephony is much more hackable, buggable and failable. Remember the total failure in NYC of the cellular switching system on 9/11?
the gentleman had nothing but praise for the professionalism of the FBI agents who questioned him and his family. he said the questioning took less than three minutes, and then the FBI agents went with them to the Airtran counter to insure that they were clear to board the aircraft, but Airtran said NO.
he also thanked the FBI for their intervention in getting them onto USAir. so, I'll mod you for speaking ignorantly without knowing the whole story...
My wife is a green card holder, and DHS took retinal scans and digital fingerprints when she was processed for her work permit, prior to our final green card interview. The amusing thing is, all of this work is outsourced to Northrup Grumman.
Everyone at the processing center was an NG employee, and I must admit, they were courteous, quick and efficient. Nothing like when we went to apply for her Social Security Card.
The funny thing about the green card processing center is that when you leave, they ask you to fill out a comment card "and let us know us how well we are doing our job". Since they had just taken her fingerprints, and same prints were all over the comment card, I advised my wife to comment positively, so she did...
Hopefully we won't see the inside of Room 101 anytime soon...
My father's best friend was a big shot technical manager with AT&T Long Lines in the 60s. He was working on November 22nd, 1963 when major portions of the national phone system were "locked down".
This person was present in the long lines operation center when Johnson's first call came through from Air Force One immediately after he was sworn in.
The operator motioned for him to listen in. Johnson was giving his first executive order after becoming president. He was asking to be patched through.
What do you think the nature of the call was? A call to the joint chiefs to declare DEFCON 4? A call to the FBI to launch an investigation? A call to Hubert Humphrey to offer him the vice-presidency?
Nope - Johnson called NASA to order the relocation of NASA's space program command center from Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia to Houston, Texas.
Think about it - if Johnson had no idea of the details behind the assassination of his predecessor, he would declare a high security alert.
If he DID have an idea, well, it would be logical to start consolidating power and influence. This was a decision worth many millions of dollars and thousands of jobs to the state of Texas.
This story was told directly to me on the 40th anniversary of the assassination by the man who overheard the conversation.

work 100 weeks for too long and you will be making a health insurance claim, which will cost your employer more...
just wondering
did you copy that from wikipedia? seriously though, very informative, if obscure...
