T-Mobile got the iPhone contract in Germany (iirc),and the UK/Germany T-Mobile are linked more closely than the US/UK T-Mobile. They've also got one of the better coverages (GSM & 3G).
Possible, but I reckon O2 are still more likely because of their more 'business-class' professional image. Never mind the idiot-magnet that is Genie.
Umm... I hate to point this out, but it tends to be the US which are clinging on to imperial measures. We're quite happy over here with kilograms, metres and litres. Sure the road signs haven't changed (More's the pity), but we're getting there.
Incidentally, why put speed of light in that stupid form? 3.00*10^8 is a much nicer way, and deals with significant figures to boot!
Some of them you just untick the box saying "Send anonymous usage statistics to Microsoft". Others need the info to do their job, like Windows Update.
I'll admit some like Teredo make me go "WTF do they need that for?" though. On the other hand, I bet a lot of people who will go "OMG Microsoft steal my SSID!" quite happily tick the box in the Google Toolbar setup to enable the same thing, because "It's just Google, and it says it's helping them to improve the product".
The biggest problem still remains the people who use the machines.
Remember getting your first 1gb drive and going "Wow, I'm *never* gonna be able to fill this up". A few years later people are throwing around files in excess of 1gb with no worries.
Serious question here - I'm moving to a Mac for when I head to university. Would you recommend scrapping office and going with iWork, using Office for Mac, running Office for Windows in a VM somewhere, or using OO.o ?
We've recently had a lot of thought put into upgrading our school network as part of a multi-million refit. Some smartass thought it'd be clever to say "We want everything wireless". It was gonna be as well, until all the IT techs looked at the plans and basically said "If you do that, we're resigning".
Result - every permanent terminal (ie in the ICT rooms, PCs which drive the virtual whiteboards etc) is hardwired, and each classroom has its own AP to allow for portable devices. Some rooms like the art classrooms - which are frequently subject to 30(ish) tablet PCs in use at once, will have two. The whole thing is held together by a swine of a network architecture, which involves routers all over the place. It's going to be great fun
The original smartass now isn't let near the plans.
Any ideas on number porting/straight-upgrades? TFA doesn't seem to help here, but (especially when it comes to the UK) I find my phone number kinda important and want to take it with me. Likewise, if Apple choose to go with T-Mobile as their provider (I reckon O2 are gonna get it) any word on if I'll be able to pay for the iPhone and just move my plan straight onto it?
Xserve is used quite a lot where easily expandable computing power is required such as video studios.
Apple aims at the home market, and a small section of the professional market, namely those who do what Apple kit is good at (Design, artistic, video, audio production etc). That said, I've also seen Mac Pros and Xserve together with Xserve RAID and Xsan to do high-level research work.
Apple hasn't yet (afaik) aimed at a business which needs 2500 new terminals just to do spreadsheets and word processing. They may in the future, but for now Apple kit just isn't right for enterprise level business. It is good, however, for large production type businesses. Wander around a newspaper editing room and see what people use.
For crying out loud, it's just another device! Having a mobile device which can access the internet is nothing stunning, my PDA and phone have been doing it for years. The iPhone doesn't need a different site design to the other SEVERAL MILLION existing devices, so why should another few make any difference to how people design their site?
Nope, because that would be stupid. They have some kind of responsibility to broadcast things in a reasonably mainstream method - which is why they couldn't switch entirely to digital in 2002 because it would make it more mainstream and cause more devices to support it.
Nope, the BBC is *not* a government agency (At least not officially). It's supported by a complex system of licence fees and laws from the government, but it is not in itself a government/public agency.
If they can be found to have been distributing it, and therefore bound to make the source code available for 3 years, doesn't the GPL also forbid them from sueing using any of their patents regarding that code?
Podcast kinda makes sense, if it's used for its original purpose. Having a new MP3 released daily is not a podcast unless there's also a feed I can use to add it to my player automatically.
Generally if you have a 3G capable handset it will use 3G on your existing contract as its generic data carrier for anything packet based. If you're not in a 3G coverage area it falls back to GPRS. 3G is not a 'niche', it's the preferred carrier for any capable handset.
It won't take off in the EU without solid 3G support. It's now quite difficult (at least in the UK, and I believe across most of the rest of Europe) to find a carrier which doesn't support 3G.
I'll tell ya what put me off - I was quite liking the fast speeds and alright, it's not what I'm used to in Firefox but it's clean and easy to use...
And then I tried to go back a page. By clicking my left-hand thumb button on my mouse. The button which in every other browser takes me straight back...

Build it, and they will come.

GTalk can be spoken to by any standard Jabber/XMPP client. I've got Trillian talking to it with no worries.

Why bother? BBC articles are neither ad-filled nor multi-paged.

Why not just buy Office for Mac?

Apparently there's an inner and outer door, so there should be space there to close one before opening the other. At least, one would hope so.
You being serious?
Sun stands for "Stanford University Network".
Different way around here though - the ISP is inserting ads into pages requested through it, not pages served from it.

Sorry, speak up. I can't hear you over the noise of someone hoovering.

Nothing.
Simple. Just build the USS IHaveEvenBiggerGuns. I thought that was the normal US route?
Trouble is, each junction is separate and only counts to one before flipping over. 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 0
01 to 00 is easy, just flip the second junction to a 0.
