I don't know I tend to buy smaller phones. My idea of a perfect phone is a ear peace with voice dial. I am one of the odd balls that tend to like having multiple devices for various things. Ignoring my personal opinions. 4.01 inches is a fairly long antenna and to large to fit in lots of phones. I guess it makes sense for smart phones which need larger bandwidth chunks to be the only phones in this spectrum, but It sure does suck for the few of us that want just a phone and can't get reception due to the 850MHz range.
However, not allowing smart phones to use the 700MHz range isn't going to help my reception either, so no real complaints just looking to post.
I find it odd that my physical address in this country gives no other information except that a mail box is on the street, but the moment I get a Virtual Proxy to map back to the location and actual route-able address privacy goes out the window.
Between your ISP or your remote host. Someone knows where your DNS (which is by all definition a proxy as well) leads to and who owns the account connected to it. Someone has to pay monthly for the bandwidth. The public has no right to know who owns any website IMO unless a crime has been committed and then it should be a simple number of steps to find the information given the right warrants/subpoena.
Truth is for most legitimate business want you to contact them. So if there domain is registered through some proxy for what ever admin reasons they still have a contact us page on there website. Examples of spammers and phishers are just silly. Stopping them is more then just asking them to please provide real information before committing your illegal act.
Maybe a salad with out dressing would of been a better example since. However you get my point. One could say you do normally get a discount on a cheese less pizza.
It has always puzzled me why others in this community do not think of installing Linux as an after market modification. I can give plenty of examples of devices that I have modified as soon as I opened them and I don't think I have ever asked for refunds on paint or artwork or bad quality parts. If you buy a cell phone and you put android on it no one expects Samsung to refund you for their OS. I can think remember friends calling Dell and Gateway in the 90s arguing they should get refunds for 98 because they would never use it. In my opinion these companies should just state that they give the OS to you as a gift for buying the system weather they have to pay for it or not its itemized out to zero.
You can argue all the principles you want. But if you order a Penutbutter and Jelly sandwitch and ask for the Jelly to be held you do not normally get a discount for the missing product. This is nothing more then a large company turning a very small population of people in to disciples of advertising. Amazon refunds the windows license...buy all you computers from them instead of the competition even if you don't get the refund.
This is a silly statement I have yet to see an MMO you can even log on to with out first giving them credit card info. Its like a 30 day free trial cancel or we charge you set up. Children likely do this all the time and MMOs are in general non refundable in most game stores because the only thing in them is the one time use license number and if its been used up and resold then the retailer is scamming the second customer.
The root poster here for Some insight is missing the point. If you never missed a payment then your really not considered in this lawsuit. This lawsuit is about late fees. By having late fees and not treating the subscription as a pay as you go service. They are acting like you agreed in advance to pay for the game for X months which is likely not the case for people who would miss a payment. Most mmos just cut you off and wait for you to pay up not charge a late fee since your not late. You have no lease for playing FFXI
There is no expectation that users change the default; it's an option. The expectation is that most users won't. Even if we accept that "default" in its original meaning never implied an unsatisfied obligation, there is still a semantic shift.
In a few days another user is going to post a story on IT security mistakes and the number one is going to be default passwords. People will complain about users not changing the defaults and suddenly someone is going to quote this post about that users are not expected to change the configuration. If users were not expected to change them they would not be made available. The fact that the majority of users are to inexperienced to do so intelligently doesn't matter.
Taken as a general term referring to the software which will be installed on multiple computers some with multiple users. The default configuration is a failure to act. I do not think its correct to think of the default configuration as a instance term as its uniform across all instances of a software. Where when a configuration is no longer default then it becomes victimized and individual, but likely not unique. To sum this all up I think its wrong to say the expectation is that users will not change the default, but that at least a few users will.
So that protects the drive sniffing, but how do you get around the packet sniffing now that your proxying through the virtual nick which is bugged by the security Agent?
I wrote this huge reply to this, but then I realized I wasn't logged in and in doing so it got lost.
I doubt they would deny you access. Almost all Universities have a high OS X population and thank be the goods its BSD based. During Gradschool the first year of my assistantship was to do IT support to the collages for OS X and for all the silly Commercial VPN Solutions we ran at the university we had some back door that allowed us to give OS X people access which quickly became the backdoor for PDAs/*nix users and so forth.
You can't deny all those pretty Apple people access they are growing in numbers and if you have a Collage of Arts I promise you there is a *nix solution.
I don't understand this article. I might of missed it, but from my reading the article clearly has not done is background checking. The article clearly mentions that chrome is out of beta, but gmail which is five years old is not, but I did not see it point out that one is a local application but gmail, and docs are online applications. A year ago slashdot posted an article on Google's view of online beta's. The basic view was that since online applications change at a higher rate to traditional applications they are never out of the beta phase and always capable of testing new content. I admit the company may need to come up with a new word to describe such a view like transitional, but I do not believe its entirely wrong.
http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/25/1235216&from=rsshttp://www.networkworld.com/community/node/33131
Given this view its only natural that Chrome go through traditional version why gmail and other services do not. These articles also always fail to mention labs.google.com which is really where the company keeps its Alpha and Beta releases before they want them to go entirely public along with the very extended invitational phase that gmail went through.
What we have here is a confusion between necessary and sufficient. It is sufficient to have a camera pointed at the user to archive head tracking, but it hardly necessary. Both outward looking in and inward looking out solutions exist. Methods from tracking range from ultrasonic to magnetic and its far from new and by no means requires a camera and image processing at all.
Plan A: You can't change time and when you travel back in the past your actions are already decided, because your in the past and these events have already occurred making paradoxes impossible.
Plan B: Your can alter the past because when you time travel it is still the future with respect to you and so the events of your own instance of the future have not been written and can therefore already be changed
T3: Some what take the Plan A approach though the only movie to really do that is 12 Monkeys. Plan B is the more common multiverse theory that is often used in science fiction to explain things and not upset fans.
But, we should all remember one important thing here. Rule 1: Don't do time trival. Rule 2: If you screwed up and broke Rule 1 make stuff up.
I am glad that at least one user pointed out how slanted this article was. I was about to write out your post almost word for word. This guy lost me he started complaining about the downside of non monolithic construction.
Joe Sixpack benefits from a computer that runs faster, swaps less, and has a shorter boot time. In fact, I'd wager that he gets more benefit from memory than the typical/. user's second box.
I agree and personally I will not use a laptop with less then 2gigs in it, I don't understand why anyone has the right to tell mister I don't know anything that he needs a bad experience or the possibility of a bad experience. The average user doesn't understand upgrades they don't understand what they want there computer for so don't install artificial imitations then make fun of them when they buy CS3 for some stupid reason and can not run it.
Lets leave the what you need debates on what you "need" in a computer to our server configurations
I agree with this.
Since I picked up my PS3 I have picked up more PSN games for it then I own VC titles. The PSN interface is easier to use in my opinion and it doesn't give me the trouble that the VC has given me in the past.(multiple charges when not using a point card) I own a few wii titles, but I don't think any of them are great by any means. I own several PS3 titles I would say 3 of them I am proud to own. I have also downloaded like 10 games for the PSN basically at an average of 6 dollars a game I look at it as a game rental that I get to keep. We pick up about a game every two weeks and play it for the weekend.
I don't use my PS3 as a ps3 nearly as often as I use in ps2/psx mode, but that internal memory card feature makes my life so much easier so I am proud to say I own a ps3 to play ps2 games lol. In the last few months I have picked up an insane amount of ps2 titles for cheap. I don't really enjoy paying 60 dollars a new title at this point in my life I am in the 20 dollar game market, but at that price range I buy a lot of games between August and October each year. So, maybe next year when the Wii titles have come down I will pick up a few, but for now I just do not enjoy the system as much as I have my ps3
I am often amazed by the accuracy of the Apple and Google rumors. I guess it was about a year go that it was reported that Google was going to be creating a web based competition for Office and Google denied it. Now it is coming true and this is pretty much the case for most Apple rumors.
I wonder who is driving the market in these cases. Given the expense of development time I would like to think that the corporation are having information leaks, but could it be possible that WEB 2.0 is helping shape the business that we talk about so much. Could Apple be secretly keeping tabs on all of these post from site to site and trying to get information on which rumors are the most popular.
I hate to think of the time it would take to initiate this CIA style department of a corporations, and I find it highly unlikely, but after today I think I am going to start keeping a chart of all the rumors that come out for the main stream development firms and charting how many of them come true.
Explain how this would work? I know not all states are as socialist as others, but in Louisiana for example you can't do jack utility or insurance wise unless you go through the state boards in charge of your specific product. Places in Texas are forced to charge less for electricity then it cost to make, now I'm no expert on insurance and I don't know the laws around its regulations.
But I find it hard to believe that national database would help an insurance company do anything. They already know the statistics from the entire country anyways, how would the rates change just because now they looked in a single place.
It does not matter who is right in this matter. You can't site encyclopedia's at the collage level and when I went to high school you could not use them there. Encyclopedia's are secondary sources ment to help you gain a quick understanding of what you are looking at. But they are not first hand citation material.
This ban should be implied on all papers written after middle school. Go out read an article do your own research don't spit back an entry from world book.
People enjoy packaging if they didn't special edition's of DVD's would not sale. The movie industry should just tell them that if they do not want to carry there product then some one else will. Wal-Mart may sale 1 in 5 DVD's but people see DVD's in other places and if Wal-Mart stopped carrying Movies entirely then either downloads would go up or People would start buying them else where. I think given the nature of the product the store has more to fear from not carrying it then it does from worrying about some one distributing a lesser product at a lower price.
Wal-Mart has three options.
Ignore the issue and realize that itunes only allows you to do X amount with your DVD and the average person will not be happy with the service.
Acknowledge the issue and campaign against it.
If they fail to do either they will only hurt themselves. I would argue that most people come in to the electronics section of Wal-Mart not for TV's and DVD players, but for the DVD's CD's and other small things that the person needs day to day. You lose the selection less people will browse and less TV will be sold.
Firefox and Mozilla allow you to launch multiple sessions of your web browser by creating accounts. I personally find this an annoying feature, as I would rather just create a new window that is tabable then have multiple sessions.
I could be confused but, it sounds like you want more functionality then just a unique window on each screen or different sessions for each window. Is it possible that you might be asking for URLs to open in the window closest to there origin.
I find that with my parents there are two unique views.
Mother doesn't care enough to try to learn and Father is unable to remember even though he wants to learn.
Ultimately I wouldn't say there just for nerds but, there are different types of people that use their computers for various reasons. I for one try to stay bleeding edge on new features, shortcuts, and applications. My mother on the other hand just wants to do things the way she "knows" how, even if it takes several times longer.
