How much you wanna bet that stoobalou (the contributor of this 'article') is one of the editors of Thinq?

Gee... I wonder who's name there could be shortened to 'Stoo'?
It seems that every article that Stoobalou has written is basically a link to the article du-jour for Thinq.
What's Slashdot's policy on pimping articles for sites that one might be affiliated with?
Or can we at least get a disclaimer added to these postings (ie: "This is a non-paid advertisement to drive up Thinq's hits").
The little strip between the two antennas was added as an undocumented feature:
Picture a boss/girlfriend/telemarketer that is calling you. Don't like where this converstation is going? You simply have to move your pinky finger down and voila, no more call (and you can blame the network). It's seamless... It just works.
They can install sensors that can collect samples from the bathrooms at airports (or onboard airplanes themselves) as everyone needs to go. They can gather the location data and attach it to video showing who went into the bathroom during that time possibly detecting hostiles...
If they really wanted to track specific regions, I wonder if they could they add something to the local water supply to give it a very specific isotope ratio?
Anyone who has friends, and hosts a Rock Band party will attest to the fun factor, even though it's a fancy version of Simon...
Think of it as a group version of Simon, where you can also hum along to your favorite tunes and just enjoy the atmosphere as your friends play. It captivates audiences, not just the players...

SONY President: What happen?
Kanna Shimizu: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Kanna Shimizu: We get 40ns signal.
SONY President: What?
Kanna Shimizu: Main screen turn on.
SONY President: It's you!
GeoHot: How are you gentlemen!!
GeoHot: All your base are belong to us.
GeoHot: You are on the way to destruction.
SONY President: What you say!!
GeoHot: You have no chance to survive make your time.
GeoHot: Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Unfortunately, you're trying to push your agenda without listening to the person with the 'problem'.
You even quoted her: "Why? What's the difference? I just type what I want in there and the results show".
So you want to take a system that works fine for your mother, and have her conform to the way you do things? Why? It's better? Would your mom *really* notice a difference in the results?
I don't see a problem here, other than fanboyism.
Activesync allows for the synching of specific folders (so you could set it up to sync everything except the 'SCCS' folder in your case). You don't need this feature naturally, as you keep everything important in your inbox. I on the other hand (as do many Exchange users), keep only unsorted things in my inbox, and have subfolders for my organized important stuff.
Also, you can add to my list, the ability to:
5. Add a calendar invite from the phone.
6. Set calendar categories.
7. Set message flags/categories.
8. Server side searching.
I agree... iPhone's implementation of Activesync is abysmal...
In addition to points 1 and 2 above, with the the iPhone you cannot:
3. Specify the time you want to receive incomming emails (or do you enjoy receiving spam at 3 in the morning)
4. Perform off-line synching of email (you must be connected to the exchange server to delete a message)
If you've ever used a MS mobile OS (such as Windows Mobile 5 and up), you'd understand how much better the iPhone could be for 'real' enterprise level communication.
I've had mine for about 2 weeks now.
Today was the 4th time my phone would go into 'No Service' mode. A restore doesn't help, and the phone will spontaneously re-connect to the network after a few hours/days of being down. I've just set up an appointment with my local Apple store for them to look at it (and hopefully replace this lemon).
As an 'upgrade' to a Treo 700w, I'm starting to regret my purchase (Not only do I get these downtime issues, but their current Activesync/Exchange implementation is atrocious (compared to the WM platform).
According to logic, the image must be named improperly.
Challenger blew up before going into space, and would have no data to recover from any experiments performed in space.
Another possibility is the image is from the Challenger disaster as Columbia's drive photo wasn't available/released, but they threw in that photo as it's from a Space Shuttle disaster (ie: close enough).

Hey Gabe,
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
They prefer the term "Part Deux"...
I am quite fond of the MSE tool as well... works well, and doesn't slow my system down.
When will FarmVille be available on this platform?

My bad... it's called SuperFetch, and here's what MicroSoft has to say about it:

and here is tomshardware's analysis of it:

Isn't this technology ('supercache' or whatever you wish to call it) carried over from Vista?
I thought it was big news back when Vista first came out...

Bears.
640K humans ought to be enough for anybody.
ie: Release a 'free' app (with limited functionality, one level, etc.), and introduce full features if you decide to pay for them.

They're comparing FF3 to a beta version IE? (not like it all isn't 'beta' anyhow) Why wouldn't they use IE 7 in the comparison?
