Businesses need to realize that cold call telemarketing is a dead business and they really should divert their money and attention
Sorry buddy, but if this were really true then telemarketing would be dead and you would not be receiving calls. People only piss in the wind once. The reality is that there ARE a lot of people that not only accept the telemarketing calls, but they purchase items and fall for the sales tactics, especially the elderly.
Your post is analogous to saying that SPAM is a dead business, and "they" should divert their attention elsewhere.
Free markets really DO work - and if cold calling, telemarketing, and SPAM didn't work, then it wouldn't be around to bother *you*.
It probably is a "pull string go boom" situation for the launch.
HOWEVER... when something goes wrong and manual intervention is required (such as a breakaway), then there are provisions to have the shuttle land at emergency designated airfields. If you are three-sheets to the wind, and you are now forced to execute a procedure that you've never done before, under high stress conditions, then there is going to be a problem.
If you look at all the different emergency landing sites below, you'll see there is a lot of work and split second decisions to be made during launch:

What exactly do they mean by the "the writing is on the wall" for 1024-bit encryption? Does the 307 digit long set of prime factors have some bearing on the ability to break encryption, or is it just a reference to the amount of sheer computing power out in the industry today?
Let me be the first to say that Glenn literally pulled this assertion straight out of his ass.
No one can argue against home media servers driving innovation into the household, especially around automation and media management - but to displace software as a service? GoogleApps? I don't even in the slightest see where these two things correlate.
GoogleApps and.MAC (the two examples citied) not only provide value as a collaboration platform, but they are also extremely well designed, and cost effective for the business community. If anyone thinks that I'm going to plunk down 2K on an HP Media Server, and all the sudden declare my independence from Software as Service for the business purposes... well... you get the point - it's utter BS.
Glenn literally did 2 things.
1. Plugged HP's products (successfully) 2. Showed how absolutely absurd some columists can be (successfully)
Are GSM phones in the US ripe for a similar explosion in the use of freely available wiretapping technology, and could this finally be the impetus to for widespread use of software-encrypted communications?"
Unless I'm missing something, there certainly is not any freely available wiretapping technology for GSM phones and networks. There are a few vendors that sell very expensive GSM tapping and over the air capture devices and platforms, but they are extrememly expensive and only for sale to authorized buyers (law enforcement, military, and feds)
winnow [win-oh] -verb (used with object) 1. to free (grain) from the lighter particles of chaff, dirt, etc., esp. by throwing it into the air and allowing the wind or a forced current of air to blow away impurities. 2. to drive or blow (chaff, dirt, etc.) away by fanning. 3. to blow upon; fan. 4. to subject to some process of separating or distinguishing; analyze critically; sift: to winnow a mass of statements. 5. to separate or distinguish (valuable from worthless parts) (sometimes fol. by out): to winnow falsehood from truth. 6. to pursue (a course) with flapping wings in flying. 7. to fan or stir (the air) as with the wings in flying. -verb (used without object) 8. to free grain from chaff by wind or driven air. 9. to fly with flapping wings; flutter. -noun 10. a device or contrivance used for winnowing. 11. an act of winnowing.
.. I cannot tell you how elated I am to hear this news.
Nothing amuses me more than the high-end muscle-man salesman that strolls through an airport terminal with a bluetooth device in his hear, extolling the virtues of his latest deal that he closed, how drunk he got the night before, and where he was heading next. All the while strolling like there is something up his but, and his hands are waving in the air like he's swatting flies or something buzzing around his head - maybe it's his arrogance.
But while it is amazing, it is also irritating, and the thought of having to deal with that type of behavior AFTER the door is shut scares the living hell out of me. The only people that might benefit from something like this rule change would be Bose - as I'm sure they would sell 1000's of additional Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones.
Furthermore, being that you would be 6 miles up in the sky, in an aluminum shielded tube, I cannot even imagine that you would get good coverage from within the airplane. I'm willing to bet that maintaining a call even for just a few minutes would be a hassle. Imagine that beefy salesman screaming into his bluetooth headset "can you hear me... hold one, let me get up and find a better signal" - all the while he's walking up and down the aisle, "Can you hear me NOW?" and holding the phone up to an airplane window in the galley.
Man it would be a disaster. He would either get his ass kicked by someone, or lose the deal because he thought he could hold the con call from the airplane.
I think it is important for everyone to understand that First Amendment rights don't exist on Websites, blogs, and message forums. Those that own those communication platforms are free to delete or censure anything they feel necessary to maintain the spirit and intentions of both the supporting business and the site as a whole.
What exacerbates the issue is whenever a moderation activity takes place against either the open source community, or the Linux community, the reaction is swift, dramatic, and overdone. OMFG my post was removed.. it is a conspiracy!!!
So what! Dell removed a post on a site that was soliciting user input. Aren't there bigger problems in the world?
If I asked you to come in my house, and provide me feedback on how my living room looks, and you responded "that's the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen," then I would probably censure you and throw you out.
So, does this mean that the OLPC project is going to need a back-end infrastructure to support this Daemon? With the amounts of laptops considered in this project, that means that a pretty large back-end infrastructure is going to be needed to support this process.
In addition, there's going to need to be a tremendous amount of "process defintion" for something of this scale. What constitutes a "stolen" laptop in this case? How is it reported? To Whom? Who is ultimately responsible?
Sounds like a massive undertaking and far from clearly defined, other than a "Daemon is available."
No it is not. Ask what happens to unsold CD's at the local music store.
Yes it is...
this is a classic example of supply and demand.
It is not the consumer's problem regarding what happens to unsold CDs...and while you might argue that the local music store may bear the burden of the supply/demand problem - I would tell you that the CONSUMER is shaping the supply/demand equation over the long them.... and it isn't looking good for the record companies.

But this would do it for me:
1. Native iChat functionality
2. Ability to tether the device
3. Some level of copy and paste.
4. Ability to clear all SMS conversations
That's about it.

You give it to your wife.

A comb for the pointy-hair on the sides of your head and wax for the shinny top.
They obviously didn't try George Bush vs a Human
I can think of tons of ads that folks that "could not afford a cellphone" would "benefit" from:
1. Bail Bondsman
2. Liquor Stores
3. Liquor
4. Beer
5. Prostitution
6. Check Cashing Stores
The list could go on and on. Where there is a consumer, any type of consumer, there is an advertiser just waiting to get their attention.
It probably is a "pull string go boom" situation for the launch.
