And possibly an electron microscope - lack of easy supply of these is probably the only reason DVB VideoGuard is still mostly unhacked after 9 years of use. Its been molested (smartcard sharing, CAM emulation) but there's no way to make clone cards or software patch boxes yet...
Analogue? Thats barely a risk... They're not stopping me dumping the direct, anywhere from 128 to 320k Musicam streams of radio stations I want to listen to direct off digital satellite or DAB here, not really can they - I have hours of Paul van Dyk sets recorded at 320 from Radio Fritz, for instance. Until they can DRM that, the 32 (notice the factor of ten...)k webstream isn't really worth caring about, surely?
First time I had an "engineer" - read salesman - "install" an internet package, it was ISDN in 1996 and he got arsey when he couldn't install Netscape and IE on to OS/2 (well, with WinOS/2 he might actually have been able to - I didn't let him).
Second time was with Clearwire Ireland, where the salesman just went to his own car to get his laptop when he realised I didn't have a Windows PC for the router registration app to run on. He then got me to sign off on the contract with "user will configure own network, connectivity tests passed" on it. Far more sensible, although some days that single channel ISDN would be faster...
I'd be interested as to why you were asking "BeOS the company" for support on a Be, Incorporated product, but that may be why you got little support.
The error dialogues you describe are not possible under BeOS - as a daily user since the turn of the century, there is absolutely no component of the system that gives errors in that format. Every error dialogue allows you access to a debugger, and the OS components are not symbol stripped. All drivers and system components put large amounts of data to the syslog, which, had you contacted technical support correctly, you would have been told how to enable - its a boot-time option.
As goes the support level, I and thousands of other users never had those problems.
Can I suggest you've managed to acquire some false memories here?
Yes, I would rather have my smaller, 3G capable, EDGE capable, MMS capable, network unlocked, quad-band Nokia smartphone, thanks. I rather enjoy being able to use it where I want, use what I want on it, and use what data system I want.
You never get phones crippled by the network here, and indeed if you buy them in an off-network store, theres a chance that they'll be network unlocked. They also have to unlock them for you after a "reasonable" period of time - usually 1 year after purchase on a contract, or a certain amount of spend on prepay. This is Ireland, the setup is otherwise the same as the UK - the most expensive phones on consumer contracts are 99 and on business, they're virtually always free.
And this isn't a knee-jerk reaction to the UK banning it, as this is the first time any game has been banned here, and indeed the first rating put on a game since PEGI started some years ago.
If Google in any way match the services Yahoo-using ISPs (including the behemotically massive one I used to work for), they'll be able to change passwords, issue/suspend accounts, etc. If they don't, I can't see the product being in any way successful.
As clearly 1Mbit is no longer "Broadband the American Way". Nor do I suspect you pay anywhere near as much for the 2Mbit packages but hey, thats the rip off republic for you.
"most" companies? Here in Ireland I've worked for a number of firms, ranging from small (5 staff sat firm) to massive (British Telecom). I've never had drug screening in work, or to get a job; nor have I had a medical that required a blood pressure cuff, let alone latex gloves.
Is it only "most" in countries that have lost the idea of personal freedom, perhaps?
Already on in excess of 40,000 dollars (was lower than but hey, the greenback keeps sliding) in a professional job, and I've never had one and never can be made take one.
You had to do drug tests when going for jobs, and whilst in high school at that? Isn't that, like, a complete invasion of privacy? Generally the average job a 16 year old does here wouldn't actually care if you turned up baked, and about the only jobs that require drug tests are the military.
That said, Ireland still works off the basis of innocent until proven guilty - although not if the Law Reform Commission get their way (PDF link). Personally I'd refuse to work for any company that required a drug test, despite the fact that I've not taken anything that would cause one to fail.

Had these fees for around a year in Ireland now - and its great. I dump all my broken shit back on shops telling them I bought the same type of item off them in the previous month. They usually don't ask for a receipt, and even if they do... well, I got rid of three years of broken or just poor quality headphones (I DJ, they wear out...) with one receipt.
http://www.weeeireland.ie/ is the manufacturers/sellers grouping that manages it all. On the downside, Amazon no longer sell electronics to Ireland as they're unwilling to collect the fees.
Its not a compressed implementation of SVG - its a seperate format. Phipps managed to trip over it entirely so tried to say it again, and still tripped over it. Thats why it sounds like he's excited about it, he's just saying it three times:P
That said, it is noticably faster than SVG-icon based vector graphic implementations on BeOS (OpenTracker has a number of forks that have SVG support) due to the icon size and relative lack of difficulty to parse them.
Hello, the 1880's called, they want their stereotypes back. Alcohol consumption in Ireland remains far from the highest in Europe, let alone the world. You might be scared to know that a world exists beyond your cosy ancient stereotypes, so heres a few:
At a start, could you hand over anything that uses an induction coil in your posession, because that was developed in Ireland, actually in my home town none the less. Your car and flash cameras would do for a start. Or anything which relies on Boyle's Law - got a pressurised gas supply anywhere? Not sure it'll be very safe if they can't monitor pressure/delivered volume accurately.
I assume you live in a country with nuclear power, might be an idea to turn off your electricity supply, because the atom was first transmutated by an Irish physicist, and as clearly scientific discoverys from here don't exist, the non-existant electricity might cause problems. As your natural gas supply, if any, has had to be surrended too, you're probably left without heating or lighting by now...
The IRA actually operated almost solely in the United Kingdom; not Ireland. And have always had close to no support from anyone in Ireland, no support from the government of Ireland, etc. Unfortunately, they use the name of a country that doesn't want them and people assume theres a connection.
Very, very strange promotion. I'd guess it was stock clearence except Viking are a stationary company and really shouldn't have consoles in stock in the first place.

Which is strange, as the Dell PCs for those markets are -made here-...
Not true - they've never lost a jet airliner but have had 62 deaths.
Ryanair, on the other hand, are the biggest international airline in the world, and have had 0 craft lost and 0 deaths.

...and Ghostscript, surely?
I've a Dell printer that requires a patched Ghostscript, normal CUPS, and a PPD... that not every distro carries - which is fun to handle.

Like, ooh, a great big "Debug" button, which brought you to a debugger which had a nice "help" output and understood the magical "bt" command?
Sorry, I'm getting sarcastic now, but its clear that your memory is either wrong, or a different product.
except the "useless error messages with just numbers" is quite clearly a different operating system.

It's a typo. So sue me.
I would, except I now can't check the ratings of my local solicitors, dammit.

If they weren't already connecting their MACs to the network how the hell else were there any computers on it? Using Econet or something?
(look up what a MAC is, then look up what a Mac is. You might be surprised)
