    True. Today they asked how to use CMVC. 3 months later, they will say that IBM did not tell them how to open the file, or did not provide a text editor to read the files.

    I am sure these @$$holes already have a list of such trivial technical stuff lined up to delay this as far as they can.

    Check two things:

    1. Blackberry pearl
    2. Facts (and not your opinion) about its features.

    If there is competition to Apple phone, its Blackberry pearl. And pearl is way better than apple thingy. It has an actual keyboard.

    Wrong. I have bought BB Pearl (not those chunky brick BBs) *just for Internet access*. I don't use it get the office spam. But its great to have gmail popping up right on it as soon somebody emails me. And that too upto 10 accounts. Add Operamini and the browsing is painless. of course you have media player with surprizingly good quality.

  6. Re:Well on What Movies Got Computers Right? · · Score: 1

    Yes of course. But how about the movies where computers/computing plays a big part of the story? We have all the rights to expect them to get it right. I can LMAO and still forgive ID4 for uploading the virus to the alien server, but can also admire when the Matrix got a lot of things right. (The book "Taking the red pill" has some pretty good plausible and possible explanation of some of the matrix stuff).

    Problem is that most of the time, Hollywood has no idea what the fuck a computer is - forget a firewall (and I am sure Firewall would not have been as attractive to them if it was called fw2.4.62.2).

    Also, they can still skip over the 'nerdy' part by just making some character explain what he or she just did on the screen rather than showing us 3D damage to the firewall of some big bad corporate giant.

    But what if the first rep put down $0.002 in the notes. All they seem to do is pronounce $0.002 as 0.002 cents. They are consistent in their mistakes and those mistakes are canceling each other out everytime any of the rep 'speaks' 0.002 cents for $0.002 written. Those assholes have no idea that its different.

  15. Re:Opera still feels more responsive, uses less RA on Mozilla Firefox 2 RC2 Released · · Score: 1
    Stock Firefox needs at least half a dozen extensions just to get the basic functionality it should come with by default.


    First cry about having FF loaded with extra features, which could be extensions. Then cry about FF not having enough features so that you have to install 6 extensions.

    Why don't you just ask FF, and the team might just take their pants off for ya?

    Opera is the new blue on /.

    Congrats on your troll (and probably, I am following you).

    But whatever you said is right, switched to opera (to see why every troll on a FF story is masturbating on it) , and back to FF (and now, V2.0 RC2). Its not a memory pig for me (because I do not open 255 tabs just to see how far it can go, and I don't install every freaking extension out there). And on a dual core with 1.5G or RAM, I don't really give a fuck about 100mb more than when it used to be Phoenix.

    And an in-built anti-phishing is very much welcome - even if its going to add 50MB more. Because, one fine day, it may save me from losing some money.

    In this case, we have two major search engines displaying headlines to news stories and providing links to content.


    Again, I disagree. Show me one page where Google News is also displaying the content. A Google News link will take you to the orignal content provide if you want to read the full article, while Yahoo News provides you full contect of the article on their own site. Its still apples v/s oranges.

    But there is huge difference between Yahoo News and Google News.

    Google News only reports the synposis of the news, pointing to the original website itself which served the the news. Yahoo News syndicates the news from other syndicating services and displays the news on their own freaking website.
