Most phones today already have this feature. It's called the Call Log. My phone is two years old, and the only feature it's missing (IIRC) is whether or not it was a roaming call, but even that I think it records.:-)
You call that NEW? Christ, Baybank.com had that feature back in 1996, before Bankboston swallowed them, and before Fleet swallowed THEM!!
Fleet took a good company (Bankboston) and ruined it. Damn them to hell. May BancAmerica(or whoever it is that's acquiring them) get their comeuppance.

I consider that the banks problem. If they charge me a service fee and don't have the evidence to back it up for a year, to be THEIR problem. But read the fine print in your account agreement. It sets the terms of business...
Aren't the FAT16 patents about to expire anyway? Gotta be going on 17 years at least... Times gotta be getting short. Anyone have patent number references?
And who's going to buy all your Nike shoes and Gap clothing?
Just look at what the fall of the Nikkei the dot.Bomb crash and German instability have done to world markets. Now extrapolate that down to COMPLETE and UTTER economic destruction in either of said countries.
You'd have lots of short-term financial ruin (except the top 1% money makers, who'd actually make money off the whole deal!)...
A case with merit would have disclosed the source already so that the world could get on with it's life, and forced the contractually deficient party to pay damages, instead of holding an entire industry hostage...
Even so, you can only cry wolf so many times before people stop ignoring you. Even Microsoft has to realize this sooner or later. The sooner they start fighting with truth, the sooner they win.
This SCO Bit may have stopped some people, but not all, and the next guy is going to have a harder time FUDing the industry unless they pony up quick and truthfully, in which case, it's a non-starter anyway.
People bang on Ford (found on roadside dead) crap all the time, but let me tell you, I'll never go back to Dodge or Chrysler again... I've always thought Dodge meant all the parts flying off the car...
I had one mechanic completely in awe at how I managed to break a stabilizer bar on my frount wheel. Snapped this 2"x6" thick piece of steel clean in half. Disintegrated the transmission... ooo what fun stuff...
No shit!!! Thank you... thank you, one other human understands this great truth...
Liv Tyler is a stony, wooden, talentless actress, given the part only because she's got a decent tit. Notice that gratuitous breast shot in TTT in that white satiny thing? Sums up her involvement.
Now Miranda Otto. Expressive, emotionally deep, talented artist... More Miranda, less Liv.
Lord of the Rings could stand without Arwen. Lord of the Rings would fail without Eowyn...
It would have been one thing for the French to defend Iraq with their Mirage fighters and nuclear weapons, but they showed just how little regard they have for the Iraqi people by not putting their skins on the line.
It's one thing to invade a foreign country. It's another to start a war with an ally and friend to do so...
The Space Segment, consists of 24 operational satellites in six circular orbits 20,200 km (10,900 NM) above the earth at an inclination angle of 55 degrees with a 12 hour period. The satellites are spaced in orbit so that at any time a minimum of 6 satellites will be in view to users anywhere in the world. The satellites continuously broadcast position and time data to users throughout the world.
Not even CLOSE to geostationary orbit, nevermind the 55 degree inclination. Try again.
Most imaging satellites are in highly elliptical LEO orbits, with perigee's of 200 some-odd KM and apogees in the 1000's of KM.
Communication satellites and early warning satellites may indeed be in GSO orbits, but not everything.
But you are most correct, this ASAT is not sufficient to attack GPS satellites, and probably not the Galileo constellation... besides the fact that the project was "cancelled"...
Who the hell cares, when you get source code that you can compile, and autoconf tool to build the makefile for your specific system, and in many cases pre-built binaries being hosted by caring users just like yourself?
Embrace and extend sucks when Microsoft does it, because they give nothing back to the community who BUILT the embraceable and extendable technology. When GNU does it, at least you get code back.
Jeez... people just don't get it. Time to polish my GPL clue-by-four...;-)
I'm sorry, but it seems that the U.S.A. has the only monopoly on ugly math chicks. Every math chick *I* know from the "old world" has been hot enough to be a Playboy covermodel...
When it's so much easier to just walk past 10,000 people with a RFID reader, steal 10,000 accounts, run them all through crack, and end up with some good accounts?
Because you KNOW there are morons out there who use 1111, 1234 or 5555 as PIN numbers.
And you don't have to worry about washing the blood out...
I walk down the street with a RFID scanner, scanning a hundred, a thousand people. I then scam two or three hundred ID's to sell on the black market. Now all those people have to go have operations or have their RFID chips reprogrammed.
Biometrics has the ability, in the least, of giving the buyer some assurance of accountability. That restaurant down the street stealing retinal scans leaves a paper trail of owners and employees.
The guy walking through a crowded subway with a walkman that's really a RFID reader in disguise gets away with almost unaccountably...
You think companies are going to wait 5 or 6 years to deploy web servers, file servers, or "insert any task here" servers?
No, they're going to pick the best software (in their opinion) for the job, and do it. Some moronic PHB's might fight the tide, but they'll lose. Look at all the NT4 configurations still in service...
The sun is shining. Exactly how is that an opinion, considering right now, in the Eastern Time Zone, out my window, it is indeed shining?

Are you kidding? That's half the reason the community exists, to provide solutions to pains. If what you're asking is: How interested are the OOo guys to add features for Commercial End Users, about as likely as Linus adding NUMA to Linux.

How exactly do smoke grenades destroy sensitive equipment?? Just curious, mind you...
Um, yes. I was trying to politely slam the grandparent poster that the FOSS community does indeed sometimes align itself with corporate interests.
