so... unlocking is when you want someone other than AT&T with the iPhone, so you need to unlock it to get another company's sim in there...
jailbreaking is hacking the iphone to put 3rd party software on the iphone, and doesn't necessarily mean that you've unlocked the iPhone... you could still have AT&T & the 2 year contract, and still want to jailbreak the iPhone to play Nintendo NES games. Unshackling is sort of like this, opens the phone for third party intalls, but doesn't require jailbreaking, unjailbreaking the thing.
I feel I fit into the third category. I don't care about AT&T, they're not "THE EVIL" for me, I've been a customer forever (i.e. ~4 years). But my 2nd contract ended with them a few weeks ago, and I don't WANT another contract, as who the fuck knows what I'll be doing or wanting at any point in the next 2 years.
So I paid Apple. I am still paying AT&T, though they don't know I am using an iPhone, but technically, I didn't "unlock" the phone. I just hacked it to work with my current AT&T SIM, and I am still contract free. Why should Apple CARE about someone like me enough to WARN me that they may break my phone, or not fix it under warranty?
OK, I have to admit. I am EXTREMELY disappointed by Apple in all of this greedy-give-me-control-shit. "Control Freak" is a term that comes to mind, now... and I'd love to see Jobs on a crossfire type dillio trying to explain how its "better" this way for everyone.
And I didn't even want an Apple made phone... I want a frickin' OS X slate, with inkwell in full functionality. Apple could develope and release such a product with their eyes closed. And make a decent profit. But it might hurt their precious iPhone sales... so... no product.
I was going to point out this exact thing... that, yes, one may have access to this whatever information, but its... like work... so why would anyone want to?? I even told my employers the same, why they could trust me: "I honestly don't care, and nothing in this world can change that."
Users should trust their system administrators. And be happy about it.
please, resource hog. What they should make is a deka core 1.85 EHz CPU with 512EB of level 1 cache, 256EB of level 2 cache that keeps it about.5 pw under load. With built-in, 100X realtime hw MP4 encoding.
I'm sorry... when was it decided that an asteroid from the Asteroid Belt caused the mass extinction????? Is this canon now? Nothing seems to explain the periodic extinctions (~26 million years) as tidely (heh) as an undiscovered star (Nemesis). Nearly all stars are in binary or larger systems, single star systems are quite unique. I think there's a small star-sized mass nearby, and every 26 million years its orbit takes it close enough to the Oort cloud or Kuiper Belt to disrupt the crazy things in the outer rim, sending them spiraling towards the Sun. Nemesis deadly perigee sends enough projectiles cascading toward the sun that one usually hits the Earth... You'll see I'm right in about 12 million years, and then 26 million years after that... just you wait.
Actually, paper is pretty cheap. Its moving paper around that gets expensive. Distribution accounts for ~80% of the cost of all printed periodicals. This is why publishers were really exited about startups (c.2001) like Kiosk and Newsstand, because it would allow them to deliver the same content digitally (not web pages, but display documents looking identical to the printed edition) and cut out distribution costs almost entirely. Also, the only entity making money off of subscriptions is the subscriptions manager... money from print media comes from advertising.
I'm... I'm just gonna say that RMS stands for Root Mean Square. And the only pro audio peeps that use it are trying to get you to believe that the car stereo they are selling you for $19 is really 1000W (um... nominal wattage is what you keep in mind in those instances... and cheapo units have nominal wattage output more like 20W-45W, regardless of the RMS value). I seriously doubt anyone in the recording biz uses RMS in conversation or explaination. And... I don't think there's any such thing as a "peak" RMS, or a "mean" RMS, unless those are just flavor adjectives. But besides that... it really sounds like you know what you're talking about.... and I'll just sorta agree (except for the RMS stuff, which is... incomprehensible even when it is used correctly).
Wouldn't it be beneficial to add -to any existing layers- a layer of data that shows where all the guns in a particular area are? The common belief is there are too many guns to track, but that just isn't so... police do it all the time. They track people. If they can do that, they can track guns. With modern records and gun serial numbers, and existing computers, tracking all guns from manufacture to a point of purchase to the buyer's current location, while not always accurate, would at least lead to a working model of where every gun is.
I understand that guns are not proof of crime, and most gun owners certainly aren't criminal, but the crime that I want my tax paid police force working on (the crime I most want eliminated) ALWAYS involves guns.

Actually, Microsoft finally fired the asshole that thought up the idiotic 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista versioning theme... and even the critics are rejoicing. Now they can finally say... Microsoft counts.
Yup... Gnome on Ubuntu looks very similar to Gnome on Red Hat or Gentoo. OK, but for themes (colors and such) its just the same. Same with KDE -- K Desktop looks amazingly like K Desktop on other systems (even K on OS X). I'll bet anything Xfce and Fluxbox on Ubuntu are the same on other Linux and BSD systems, but for the ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/fluxbuntu mods to the ubuntu logo, its the same GUIs everywhere. Nice point there.
I've never seen any graphics in links or mutt or in the framebuffer console... I'll admit there are levels of user interface... but if it isn't GRAPHICAL, how can it be a GRAPHICAL user interface?
Its not you, its me. I've changed. Microsoft, you never change. Its time for me to move on. Stop asking, stop calling, stop writing. I don't want anything to do with you. You're a total asshole and I hate you. Yes, I moved in with OS X, and I'm seeing Solaris tonight and Ubuntu on Friday, not that its any of your business. Get out of my life. Get out, or I'm calling the police, I mean it, stay away from me, you ugly, shallow, unreliable, lying, two-timing piece of garbage.
This is becoming my mantra: "I don't get it." Ubuntu is free... you can download it. If Dell won't preinstall, get your machine OS empty, or with FreeDOS. Then, you know, ruin your IT guy's weekend with installs.
A flywheel with magnetic bearings and in a [partially] evacuated container has almost no friction and thus is very efficient, and has almost no moving parts making it very durable.
Sounds like the uninterruptable power mechanisms power companies use for seconds at a time when they switch power sources. Fantastic idea, but likely cost prohibitive for a single-family dwelling.
Anywhere between 1 and 10000 times. I take it you are an end user and do not work in IT. That's fine. If I didn't have experience with an install, I wouldn't be much good at recommending an OS to you. No matter how easy an environment is to use, if the installer is arcane, it'll never make it onto your system. btw, took a look at the PC-BSD installation earlier... wow... that is slick. I'd say its even easier than Windows (but it only took ~40 minutes, not 6 hours). This installer makes the ubuntu install look impossible. Next to the OS X installation, its the most painless one I've ever seen.

How is it even legal to go to the movies and watch a movie (because the movie is being reprojected upsidedown, twice, into everyone's eyes)?

Though I kind of liked linksys stuff, I always thought it was a terrible brand name. But it'd be a great name for a command.

Buy the iPhone using prepaid. Activate. Cancel. [tauw.com]
Buy the iPhone. Connect it to iTunes. Sign up using 999-99-9999 as your social security number. After failing the credit check, select a GoPhone plan. After signing up for a GoPhone plan and being assigned a number and passcode, connect to the AT&T GoPhone funding page as prompted, enter your credit card or debit card information and you're good to go. DO NOT attempt to fund your iPhone over the phone with AT&T. DO NOT set up your iPhone prepaid account in advance with AT&T. [tuaw.com]
