I got a SE T-616. It syncs with my calendar/addressbook over BlueTooth, I can get email from my home webserver (pull), and I can setup rules on my home server to text me to let me know of important emails.
It's a good phone, it's got decent data services (though not fast), and it was free.
All the sysadmins have been either good, great or gone. But I work for software developement companies. If the sysadmins weren't good or at least kept out of the developers' way, the product wouldn't get done and the whole company would go down the tubes.
Besides, most of the people I worked with could easily out-admin the admins, so if there was an issue, we'd just do it ourselves.
I'm not sure about girl scout cookies, but in California, in rest areas and other places like view points (say on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge), vendors can only ask for donations, they can't charge a price. To test this I've walked up, picked up a candy bar and a soda, said thanks and walked away. I got no response from the vendor, because they know the laws.
And I for one would be hard pressed to shed a tear if some was arrested for that.
And that is what's wrong with this country. The point of freedom of speech isn't to protect the flowery speech you agree with, or to stuff the people you don't agree with off into 'free speech zones'.
As my teenage daughter says, "You don't get it! You don't get anything!"
Too cheap to get cut? I thought about doing just that when I was younger, but I ended up with a wife that can't get pregnant, so it turned out to be not an issue.
My '86 Jetta GLI had an upshift light that I drove by, when I wasn't trying to live up to the license plate ([#]1SPD FRK). I'd get ~30-35MPG, and on long trips could get more than 500 miles out of the sub-15gal tank. Now we recently got a prius that gets about 45 (indicated), but cost twice as much (in non-inflation adjusted dollars). Doesn't seem like great progress to me.
But if you are a _real_ terrorist, you can let the government know that the threat isn't real, and that there is nothing to worry about. Sounds great. I can plant bombs all over a city, and make them look like advertisements, then when people start to freak I'll say, hey they're just ads. Then they start to blow up.

Do you know if AT&T was still using InterMail (from Openwave) to service the email? If so, that's interesting to me, since Zimbra was started by ex-openwave people, though no one I met when I worked there.
If you're just another corn stalk in a huge field, when the stalk 3 rows down breeds a new virus/bacteria/mold that you and the rest of the monoculture have no defence for, you're screwed.
That's part of why I run my home server with NetBSD on MIPS, and without the 'leading' servers for DNS, Mail, & http.
I haven't watched the video (hey, this is slashdot), but a system which required me to have ~500GB of local cache wouldn't be out of the question for me. My pipe isn't too big because of where I live, but I've got plenty of storage. If I could keep that pipe full all the time (basically by having my system automatically receive stuff I'm likely to be interested in), that could work.
On the other hand, given how oversold the networks are, it definitely would have to be broadcast/multicast based.
What an idiotic policy. What happens when someone swipes a jacket or a pair of shoes? Do the kids then have to come to school without shoes or a jacket?
Given that it's easy to get small flash drives free after rebate, the loss of a jacket could easily be more financially important than the flash drive.
Dude, the sex must be great, or you've got a lot higher tolerance for people who can't think logically...that said, I dated one of those. Damn the sex was good, but talking with her made my brain hurt.
I can implement any protocol I want. If it's similar to SMTP but not compatible with it, is this some sort of crime? Even if I'm a certified monopolist? I'd say no. Now if I claim that I implement a standard and am not compatible I could be sued for fraud or false advertising or something. The idea of requiring that every protocol Microsoft implements is completely compatible with some standard is just silly. Especially when they can't even read an RFC:
From http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html : Older Microsoft SMTP client software implements a non-standard version of the AUTH protocol syntax, and expects that the SMTP server replies to EHLO with "250 AUTH=mechanism-list" instead of "250 AUTH mechanism-list". To accommodate such clients (in addition to conformant clients) use the following:/etc/postfix/main.cf:
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
The trouble is that Microsoft can't break existing standards. They can choose to implement them correctly or not. If they choose to implement them incorrectly, compliant implementations may not interoperate with them. But to say they may not implement software which complies with a standard is idiotic. It's nearly a free speach issue at that point.
That said, I fucking HATE microsoft and I wish they'd had been destroyed years ago. But saying you can't implement a protocol however you want is silly. _Maybe_ it's a trademark issue, but certainly not more than that.
Yep. That's why the solution is to get another copy of the same DVD, take it home, open it, try to play it, then take it back to the store an tell them that one won't play either. When you've gone thru almost their entire stock, take the last, unopened copy back to a different store and get your cash (or at least store-credit) back for the unopened one.
