> 4. There are questions over how open is this environment? If a $1500 dollar license is required to get the source, is this open? Doesn't quite sound like it.
I think you'll find that this is only while they go through the opening procedure/etc.
i'm pretty sure he's talking about more than just groups.
For example, Nokia's S60 already has groups, though I guess the way it works could be not as 'separate' as other implementations. To me it seems to work in a similar way to iTunes where it starts off in the 'library' and shows all contacts, but allows you to have 'playlists', which are the groups. It's really not separate address books.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was alluding to having security per address book too...
> 'we're', 'where' and 'were'... If you listen to Brits speaking, they often make the latter three words sound the same.
I resemble that remark. I think they all sound different. no matter who's speaking. I don't know how to write this phonetically, but this is pretty much how I always have heard them :
I think you must be talking about a different song. The one I'm talking about was all in Chinese...the title and everything. I just wrote the translation down. Since it's all in Chinese, I doubt very much it would be popular in the US.
I applaud your usage of the comma. It does indeed make it easier to read, and, IMO, it is easier to use commas than to reconstruct or split the sentences of tortuous legalese, though the latter may well ultimately produce better results.
At least, AFAICT, he uses it correctly, unlike you in your response.
Personally, I find the way the comma is used in the translate makes it easier to read. I don't know if the use of comma was altered from the original or not, but it works ok, IMO.
Actually, IMO, it's fair enough criticising incorrect grammar, but it's a bit much to criticise correct usage too; *and* have to use obviously incorrect grammar in order to do so.
...and I say this as an Englishman defending a French speaker (not sure if he/she's French or Canadian) - what is the world coming to???
Actually, I don't think *God* needed to test Abraham for God's benefit. God is already knew what Abraham would do. *My* theory is that it is to Abraham's benefit; but I'm no scholar and find these things often quite confusing and even contradictory at times.

Well, the US supported Germany in at least *some* ways before they were dragged into the war, so perhaps it was originally US technology...
You spelled it correctly, so we know you're not serious :p
Fox would probably spell it 'mark'.
> is it just me or does that seem incredibly small?
Possibly; you do seem incredibly small...
iinm, you can already do that on any s60 phone with wifi (eg n95) using an application called Nimbuzz - http://get.nimbuzz.com/
I think it does msn and yahoo voice too (no video though).
oh come on mods. Surely that post was insightful?!?
I don't see where it says that there'll be *two* versions....afaict, there's just the one.

> If you're a nonprofit, you need to look at all the software you're, open-source or not.
I am NOT software of ANY kind (including non-profit, open-source, or 'not').
I'm a human being, dammit!
"Get your hands off me, you filthy software!".
My first thought was similar...what about some sort of positive feedback loop? Could be mind blowing.
> You must be new here.
New anywhere, I'd say. ...or a woman..

FYI Nokia's S60 has such a feature. S60 is also used by other manufacturers.

we're - weer

were - wirr

I used to live in Beijing (last week, and several years before hand), and I did quite like a few tracks.
:(
My favourite was "Perfect Day", but I'm not sure of the singer. It was really very good.
If anyone knows Chinese, the main line was 'Wo Yao Yi Ge Da Fang Zi', which is supposed to be something like, "I want a big house".
Of course, I'm in Finland now, so we can't easily search for it

How very American of them.

See previous post.

...and there's Song of Solomon, of course; always relevant in today's world.
I thought it was kind of funny :)
Sure it wasn't deliberate, or is it just my zany English sense of humour?
> China is CDMA,
Very misleading...
China Unicom is partly CDMA, the other, larger, part being GSM.
China Unicom is much less popular than CMCC (the biggest in the world) which is GSM.
