My assumption would be that the pricing plan is nearly the same as a BlackBerry plan. A unlimited MEdia Net package for a standard phone is $19.95 a month, and the BlackBerry Unlimited plan is $44.95/mo, IIRC. These fees are in addition to your voice plan, and do not include MMS messages or SMS messages. (At least they didn't in January when I got a BlackBerry 8100 through Cingular.)
Maybe they'll make it cheaper than the BlackBerry plan?
The use of condoms drastically reduces infection rates. The problem that I've been reading about in Africa is that condoms are not utilized because they interfere too much in the love making process (ie, takes too long to put them on, and they're too expensive). A prototype device is being introduced here to try and address those issues.
I'm not sure where you read or got that idea, but you also have to remember a large portion of the African nations are Catholic. If you don't know, the Catholic religion frowns upon the use of birth control for any reason. As a result, people contract HIV.
Abstinence just isn't going to happen, and as long as the Pope continues to say that birth control is a sin, HIV will continue to spread in Africa until we have a cure.
If you don't mean to be insensitive or brash, why are you being that way?
I have lost two people so far to this disease in my life, and I have more than 5 friends that are HIV+ today.
To say that type 1 diabetes, a treatable disease, deserves more money than HIV/AIDS research is absolutely ludicrious. Type 1 diabetes will kill you if left untreated. HIV/AIDS will kill you, period. The retrovirals help extend your life, but have no doubt, it is a terminal disease. Have you ever seen someone die of HIV/AIDS? Please go down to Africa and explain to the people living with HIV and AIDS there that they aren't as important as a diabetes patient.
Are you aware how expensive the medication to treat HIV is? Compare that to the cost of insulin then get back to me.
Judging by reading his post, you're the one not paying attention.

CSUN = California State University Northridge.
My guess is that he was saying 75,000 MILES, 120,000 MILES and 90,000 MILES, not kilometers.
If the retailers were expected to charge the local sales tax rates for where the buyer is located, this would require an large amount of data, as states and counties can set their own tax rates. This is especially problematic as the retailers would need to make sure this data stays up to date. It also adds an extra burden to the retailer to submit the monies and forms back to said localities.
This will undoubtedly cause the cost of buying things on the Internet to rise.
The biggest problem i've ran into with Vista is that NVIDIA needs a bit more time to make the video driver stable. It likes to fall over, but luckily Vista recovers from this quite well and I don't end up needing to reboot.
Now you know how those of us in the United States feel about Doctor Who.
I just spent two weeks in Europe, and BBC started an episode of Doctor Who, but I had to turn it off because it was a season ahead of where we are in the US. I didn't WANT to know that Rose was dead yet, damnit!

Cingular may have the fewest dropped calls, but that's because you have to complete a call in order to drop a call. Cingular seems to have issues in West Los Angeles with tower crowding. Sometimes it's next to impossible to make a phone call.
Please read the article in reference to the Adobe complaint:
Adobe is objecting to Microsoft's inclusion in Vista of its own software for creating and viewing digital snapshots of documents, known as XML Paper Specification, or XPS. XPS competes with Adobe's widely used portable document format, or PDF.
While Adobe earns money by selling its Acrobat software to create PDF documents (while giving away the software to read such documents), Microsoft will include both reading and writing software as part of Vista for no extra charge. That could erode Adobe's sales. An Adobe spokeswoman declined to comment.
Adobe isn't complaining about building in PDF. They're complaining about building in XPS.
I'd like to give HP a great big "F-U!" for being one of the companies that has encouraged the company I work for to go with an open space floor plan. Contrary to management's belief, we all want our damned offices back.
The founders of HP are rolling over in their graves with what the current management has done to destroy that company.
From a users perspective, here's the reasons I was almost inseperable from my old RIM 950 (I'm pretty sure 950 was the model - this was prior to them becoming cell phones also):
* Push email. I ran an agent on my Outlook at work and email appeared on my Blackberry, subject to the filtering rules I put in place. This is better than IMAP and POP3, I literally only saw emails I care about on the device. I'd much rather design my filters in an Outlook-like interface than on a small device.
* The scroll wheel. It seems lame, but it's dead simple to navigate around the device with just your thumb.
* Small, efficient keyboard. Writing email was simple. A lot easier than T9.
Phantasy Star Online did indeed support the Broadband adapter. I wasted several months of my life on that game.
The US release would use the BBA if it was configured, but you didn't have a way to configure it without the Japanese Broadband Passport disc (which I had).
Quake III Arena was the other game that supported it (the US release) and it worked really damned well.

That's what calling your credit card company is for. They sold you something defective and are refusing to refund your money for defective purchase.
There's nothing to fix here - move along.

The highest iMac - the 2.8 Ghz, has 2gb of RAM standard with 4gb as an option.
Whoa, not quite accurate there.
Sprint is CDMA. Nextel is iDEN. I believe Alltel and Qwest are CDMA also.
Also, the new Verizon BlackBerry 8830 "World Phone" is CDMA and GSM. (Isn't that like admitting defeat, Verizon? *g*)

Somewhat convenient doesn't begin to describe it.

This is not good for consumers.
Which, of course, screws with ISV's that rely on VMware to help widen their test coverage.
VMware Server 1.0.1 runs fine on Vista for me.

It's probably worth mentioning an organization that works towards that end, for people that are not HAMs or want more info.

As I don't have a copy of Vista here with me, I have to speculate on this.
Vista is a beta. It has limited driver support in its current release, as it's a beta!
Did the reviewer attempt to run it on hardware that Microsoft recommended for the beta?
So in other words, it's actually like Xdrive, the company that started it in the dot-bomb boom.

You're missing one important part - how things are DRMed can be open source, but that doesn't mean you have the crypto keys to reverse it.
