Says who? Why? Because you WANT it to be true? If you go to a friend's house, if they're a private person, what are you going to say when they say stop photographing my home?
Haven't seen much mention of it but you might wear out the radio by running it at full power. You can also damage it by running something with too hot a signal. So for example if you are running it in the same room as your laptop, and it doesn't reduce its power level for transmitting, a -30 or even -45 dbm signal can cause problems even if there are no other radios around. The same goes in reverse. If you run the AP at maximum power, and the laptop is right next to it, you can damage the radio within. I worked at an ISP recently doing WISP stuff, and it became quite clear we damaged some of the point to point link radios by running them 4-6 times "hotter" than we should have. If you're on a mac, hold down the option key and click on the airport signal meter. Your target power should be around -55 to -75. Not sure where to look for that on a windows box.
I WAS going to comment how the carriers are FINALLY enabling blacklists for IMEI's on their networks and planning to coordinate them amongst each other... Unfortunately, the point about other countries is probably right, and worse yet, Verizon iPhones are now GSM unlocked out of the box, so the theft will probably sky-rocket.
Can you explain that, please? I didn't call them evil. I will call them greedy as hell and fleecing the users for an expensive cable that they have made a particular way to charge far more.
We should have paid more attention to the articles 3-4 months ago about those damn cables and their authenticator chips. Maybe they're keeping a lower profile so people don't point out the new ipods have the same proprietary, border-line uncopy-able cables?
Class of '93 for high school... We learned darn near nothing. I recall some VERY light Word Perfect use for one class I can't remember... Also a teacher that let us set up Scorched Earth (before school started in the morning) on a classroom computer with all computer players playing at full speed during class with no monitor/sound turned on. We'd save the "saved game" file and take it home to have lots of money to splurge.
No, I'm sorry, but that is wrong. I tested it the other night.. My friend set up tethering on his verizon phone and I started streaming video via his wi-fi. Phone #3 calls in to the tethering phone, and data drops 100% so the phone can ring.
Ask for a waiver if it's not too late. I took a C++ class and a Linux class at a local community college and it really just consisted of me going into the head of the department, and asking nicely... (They both needed a pre-req "intro to computers" or something similar. I started rattling off I knew how to copy and paste, my work history at a couple of ISP's, how I know how to build a computer... by the time I'd gotten this far, she was nodding her head, saying, yup, no problem, you're ok to proceed without. Not even a test.
Jobs may have been an egotistical jerk, (may?) but it's the RIAA that insisted that if your CD's were stolen, you're obligated to delete the MP3's from your computer. Nothing to do with Apple. Also, they claim you don't own the music, just have a license to listen to it... But what if you have a cassette with a song, but it's worn out and you want to download a clear mp3 version from wherever, and not have to pay again for it? Nope. Because you don't have a license to listen to a higher quality version. F the RIAA. (Granted, these examples are taken from an article I read a few years ago, but the point is Apple is not responsible. It would be like them saying you can't will your computer to someone else.)
Came to say this. For those that don't know the DMCA reference, Lexmark filed lawsuits under the DMCA to prevent ink refill manufacturers from putting out products for their printers. They argued since the code in their printer/carts was copyrighted, the act of circumventing it by putting more ink in was illegal. Yeah, they made a lot of friends with that one.
Seems like a monumentally bad idea to try to get out of cuffs. I've been told by a deputy friend that as soon as one cuff is still on your wrist, and the other is hanging, you now have possession of a deadly weapon. As for the keys, How much you wanna bet that they can't make a "possession of burglary tools" charge stick if you're carrying lock picks of any kind?
I'm not arguing with you... BUT.. This is just another example of where the consumer misses out (is inconvenienced, however slightly) because of all this patent and licensing nonsense that we've been hearing non-stop for the last what? 10 years?
I'm sure you're right. I suppose it's convenient, too... The rocket used to "launch the mission" wasn't carrying anything that went to Mars. It was launching the satellite that controls the minds of a significant portion of the population. (ie-the ones that are not shielding their brains with the proper grounded metallic covering.)
I'm just glad that it was the Europeans that did this. Imagine what a Japanese one would have looked like. Probably too weird to compute. I'm thinking exploding android head like in I, Mudd.
Yeah, pretty much this. I'm pleased to see how few of the Mac postings are being trolled or trolling themselves.
Steve Jobs nixed a metric butt-load of models across all lines when he came back for this reason. The performas and quadras and centris models were all so close to each other. Then you had the same problem with the laptops.
13" macbook pro unless she's going to be doing video editing or heavy-duty rendering/number-crunching. Reports? word processing, web browsing, email? You're done. Yeah it costs more, but I'll put money down that it will last longer (ie-she will be happier keeping it) than any "windows" laptop. And yes, as stated here, there's no problem running windows * on it. Just put an external mouse on it or learn to right click from a particular corner of the trackpad.
I read his post and it seemed well-thought out... I've had people rip off my entire website, once upon a time. They changed the background image and lo and behold, it was "his site." So what I don't get is in the post previous to that one, linked at the top of the page, is him taking pictures where he himself says it's forbidden/not allowed? (I'd disagree with the signs, too, but still...)
I was just sitting here filling out my application for a patent on the method and procedure for naming or labeling any electronic medium such as a television or radio broadcasting outlet, electronic or online medium after a geographical feature, name, or region.
Re-direct all german traffic to servers in the US. Turn off the German ones for a while and save some power. Only allow those requests to view the 240 version of all videos. Not only will it be lower resolution, but slower than usual, too. Put a nice big banner above the videos explaining why, with contact information of GEMA.
Are you aware that "bricking" is a misnomer being used by many entities right now and it's the cell phone equivalent of a MAC address being blocked? (The IMEI) And there's nothing "permanent" about it... A remove the IMEI from the blacklist, update/refresh the database, and it's live again.

That's horrible. Most new iPhones are worth $600 minimum. Most states would consider that grand theft, since it's over $500, right?

It was an open standard much like quicktime streaming server was... but for whatever rea$on, other companies did not embrace the format/protocol.

Dream on.
I regularly dream of leaving this industry because of nonsense like this.

Thank you for saving some time. I'm bookmarking this thread.

to be fair, she probably has had it "for a while" as a demo unit for this exact purpose.
