  1. Re:Don't know where this guy is stationed but... on VoIP for Deployed Soldiers? · · Score: 1

    $1 per minute? Sheesh. That's obscene.

    You can send soldiers prepaid cards, but they MUST be AT&T. I wonder how much AT&T is making off that contract?

    (Apparently, you cannot send coffee to soldiers, either, since Halliburton already provides them with coffee-product-like swill)

    AT&T wireless was a separate business unit from the AT&T purchased by SBC.

    It uses an entirely different processor line and video subsystem. I have doubts.

  9. Re:One small change would make all the difference. on Napster To Campaign Aggressively Against iPod · · Score: 1

    The current systems of online music sales are totaly worthless to me because of the DRM built in. My CD changer can't connect to the internet and validate a current subscription. It can't do DRM.

    You can buy from bleep.com, beatport.com, nufonix.com, and maybe a couple others i forgot off the top of my head. they sell vanilla mp3's. the selection is pretty narrow, mind you

    You can't use a cell phone inconspicuously. Even with a headset it looks like you're talking to yourself.

    Making a skin is, essentially, making a computer program. Not to a CS major, maybe, but to a lawyer its just binary code executed on a computer.

    Do you seriously think a lawyer can't find an expert witness to testify that there's a difference between data and code?

    Even if it does mandate RFID (aka contactless smart card) there are so many conflicting "standards" in that arena that it probably won't make a difference.

    I dunno man, they allow nudity in advertising, public drunkenness has its own de facto holiday, and the trains run a lot more reliably than the US counterparts.
