Board Games especially of the hobby kind are on quite a come back right now. Myself I own over 100 now and have a regular group of people who meet up twice a week to play. There is a lot of money to be made (take a look at the Zombicide kickstarters! we are talking millions).
But board game designers / publishers have always been a self regulating crowd. No one wants to be the person who stole an idea.
Keep in mind that really it's the theme that can be stolen. Mechanics are borrowed on a regular basis.
Wifi Proxy Support isn't available on any Android phone that I am aware of by default.
CyanogenMod supports it out of the box and as a result so does MIUI. But you will need to root the phone for this. Only way I know of. I use it on my MyTouch 4G (running MIUI) without any real issues.
You aren't the only one. I have a Windows 7 Media Center that does just this. OTA DVR. If one of these "boxes" could get that functionality I'd jump on it it quickly.
This was the only show I was actually watching currently.
And seriously? Waiting till sometime beginning of next year to give us the final 5 episodes?
That's just a huge fracking slap in the face.
Yes. I'm one of those 300,000. Edge only. While that is a lot of phones, I'm having a hard time believing they impact the network anywhere close to all of the 3G phones they have.
I can see your point on the fact we call every portable device that stores/play music these days an MP3 player... I can't remember when I last used an MP3 file... then again I don't think I call my iPod an MP3 player... I call it an iPod. On the subject of apps though.. I just assume they mean appetizers. I'm still waiting on my phone to give me those damn mozzarella sticks I asked for.
Same with T-Mobile. They say unlimited, but they really mean 5GB. I suppose one could argue it's still unlimited as they cut you down to below Edge speeds after that without extra charges, but at that point I'd say you're pretty much cut off as it's not really good for anything.
I'm curious what does Verizon do after the cap? Is it a cut-off, extra charges, or throttle you down to next to nothing?
Not everyone has parents who can afford to save the money it takes for college. My mom raised 6 kids and worked 3 jobs that didn't pay that well. Saving was out of the question for all of us. I went the student loan route and it sucks paying it back, but I won't complain. I made the decision for myself at the time. I did not however do as some of my friends did and take student loans for tuition + living expenses. I only took what I needed for tuition and held a job in order to support myself.
I know you aren't trying to bait, but your first comment is a bit condescending and assuming don't you think?
Also 6 figures and you find it hard saving while single? I make 35k/year, 31 years old and I'm single, live in a major city and still manage to save some here and there.
For my particular company it's a matter of:
1. Hardware support as we roll out new computers/devices.
2. We deal with a lot of third party vendors of which some have started their migration. Prefer not to have out pants down when suddenly Company XYZ stops support for XP.
3. We are an all MS shop with well over 10k users. As we start taking on new computers we'd rather not have to backwards load them with XP. As well as a portion of our user base works from home and will be upgrading those machines soon.
But really it all boils down to the third party point.
90's?
XP was release in 2001
But I do agree it's time to move on from it for most companies. My company has begun testing for a deployment of Windows 7, migrating from XP.
I can't speak of Google Maps turn by turn, but I have other turn by turn navigation software that works just fine on my iPhone with T-Mobile's 2G speed. Honestly I went from getting 3G on an Android phone to 2G on the iPhone and haven't missed the extra speed at all unless I'm downloading a really large file. In which case I just wait till I find a WiFi connection.
*disclaimer I am comparing T-Mobiles 3G (~1000kbps) to 2G (~200kbps). I can't speak for ATT's 3G. It seems T-Mobile has a cap on their 3G.

No but I'm offering wood for your sheep!

This is only for locating your computers remotely outside of your network.
we have a winner!
Correct. I read the submission as he is looking for Proxy support on wifi connections, NOT tethering to another device.

Yeah well I am sitting in the headquarters right now at my desk... don't feel too special. I don't.
I just posted to my own facebook wall that I watch porn! Beat em to it!
Me too. All of NASA's "photos" always look fake to me. (not in the conspiracy way, just in the "we doctored these up a bit too much" way)

We have "loopholes" for everything here.
Well I'm not sure how close the two will be to each other but Kentucky does already have Dinosaur World.

iPhone 4 is missing the 1700 frequency for the uplink, so it's a no go for T-Mobile 3G as well.

Apple's site lists it as a Micro USB port for "Service and Support".

I tried clicking on [like] a few times...
I am familiar with rockbox. Doesn't support the iPod Touch or Classic.
It's not a replacement unless it can sync with and manage my iPhone and iPod.
