If you look at Godaddy's middle cost cert it says:
Verifies domain name and domain name control, identity of requesting person or company, and authority to make request.
This is exactly the same as an EV cert except a browser will turn the address bar green if it detects the EV bit. They could easily do this with a regular SSL certificate that has more than just the domain name. If you're a CA you should be validating all the information put in by the customer and if you're signing it then the user should be able to assume the CA verified this information. I don't see what the whole point of the EV cert is except doubling profit for a single bit changed in the cert.
I use it every day including now. Firefox 3 Beta still looks a little out of place even with all the improvements they've made. The text always looks different that Safari and it's enough that I find it annoying.
And all this while eBay is looking to make Paypal the only way to pay for their auctions. That also wreaks of anti-trust. I guess I can say goodbye to eBay and PayPal at the same time!
It doesn't matter how much data you transfer per month, YOU ARE ALWAYS THROTTLED. A grannie that tried to download a single torrent that uses 2GB per month is throttled. A person who uses 500GB a month is also throttled. They are not just throttling heavy users. The chance of a grannie downloading a torrent is pretty low but their throttling is also affecting legitimate encrypted traffic such as VPNs.
It already states the required hardware on the outside of the box and Apple's website http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
"Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor"
No where does it say your hacked cheap POS hardware will work with it so it's pretty clear to anyone that can actually read english.
Do you run pre release Leopard software on your primary machine? If you do you're an idiot and you should at least have a separate working partition. Apple has stated clearly that you should be using a separate iPhone for your development because the SDK software is beta and stuff might get screwed up.
That's what a lot of the 3rd party ISPs here do already. The problem is that Bell owns the last mile phone line and the ATM network that 3rd party traffic flows over. Bell throttles the traffic on their ATM network before it gets to the other ISPs. No one company is going to be able to lay their own phone lines except in a limited area which some small towns have.
It was working perfectly fine until a few weeks ago when Bell started fucking around with 3rd party traffic. It's been working well since the beginning. You just have to force the companies to not be assholes like Bell is right now.
It would help me greatly in many situations. Like when I went to Detroit(save money on plane tickets vs. Toronto) trying to find the airport, it seems easy from the mapquest directions but one wrong turn and I'm instantly lost and have to rush to find how to get back to where I'm going so I don't miss my plane(yes I found my way back to the interstate and was early for my flight).
HDTV only defines the resolution AFAIK. At least I've never seen any minimum for HDTV bit rates to still be considered HDTV. Just because it's 1080p it shouldn't be considered HD if it's 2Mbps. HDTV specs should define a bit rate that has to be required to have HD. I don't see how Comcast can call what was shown in the link as HD with all that macro blocking.
Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology, Computer Programmer Analyst 3 year course. At least when I was there 4 years ago they were teaching it. After that I went to university for software engineering and they don't teach you much about programming at all. It's all about how to design a software system and has practically nothing to do with programming. Most of the programming you have to learn on your own. There are many students in my 4th year ready to graduate who are completely terrible programmers. They did teach us 1 basic C course and Java course but it's not much in 4 years worth of university.
The iPhone was clearly not ready for 3rd party developers at launch time so they gave you web apps to get by for a while. As the software and frameworks mature they open it up to 3rd parties.
Uhh, the 1.1.1 exploit was a security hole in the libtiff library that they use. Should they leave the phone open to remote buffer overflows and code execution so people can jail break it?
Teksavvy owns their own network but data still goes over Bell's infrastructure. However, Teksavvy pays bell for this as per their contract with Bell which AFAIK does not say anything about traffic shaping. Heavy customers are leaving Bell in droves to go to Teksavvy and other ISPs who give them a realistic amount of data transfer per month. Bell gives you 60GB(30up, 30 down or something like that) and Teksavvy gives you 200GB total for LESS MONEY than Bell. The decision is easy, go with Teksavvy over Bell. So they're losing customers. An easy way to stop losing customers is to force all the 3rd party ISPs to be as crappy as Bell is. No doubt this is illegal but it appears they're still trying it anyways.
I've been suggesting this for a while. As someone downloading torrents, I don't care that if the network is congested that my traffic is given lower priority over http or IMAP or whatever. The ISPs already do identify P2P and throttle it when there's no congestion. If they just switched to QOS on their own network and not trust the client to provide the priority then that could work just fine. The problem is that ISPs are throttling P2P when it's not even a peak time on their network. If they can get QOS to work properly then everything should just work as long as they can identify the P2P streams, which they can do pretty well these days.
Check out AppFresh which scans all your apps and looks for updates. It works with a lot of apps but not all apps and some apps can't automatically be installed based on how the download mechanism works for the new version.
Yes it is simple. This is the first few days of the SDK and it's in beta. They're letting a few beta developers in early before the final release. Don't pretend like it's going to be a select few developers allowed to develop apps.
Why would you want to be using your wireless radio 100% of the time to download torrents or whatever? You're going to drain the battery in no time flat that way. Some things are just dumb and clogging the cell data networks with P2P data is dumb.

I certainly think it's a huge rip off(EV certs)

Verifies domain name and domain name control, identity of requesting person or company, and authority to make request.

Wow that sounds so great, where can I get this revolutionary software?
It's not bricked you idiot, learn what bricked actually means.

Then you can define average bit rate. All the VBR video encoders I've seen have a minimum average bit rate setting.
HDTV only defines the resolution AFAIK. At least I've never seen any minimum for HDTV bit rates to still be considered HDTV. Just because it's 1080p it shouldn't be considered HD if it's 2Mbps. HDTV specs should define a bit rate that has to be required to have HD. I don't see how Comcast can call what was shown in the link as HD with all that macro blocking.

If you let the application specify the priority then every application will set priority to high and the whole thing goes to the same as it is now.

It's called contextual based advertising.
All the other developer programs are priced per year but it doesn't specifically say anything about it.
