  1. Re:Blackberry's problem on An Experiment In BlackBerry Development · · Score: 1
    whats with the anonymous cowards who are bb devs?

    I'm also a blackberry developer and would like to point out there there really isn't anyone who isn't on 4.6 or 4.7

    anyway, that's not true at all. The number one selling smart phone in q1 2009 is the Blackberry Curve. Since the majority of those sales were driven by the Verizon bogo on the 8330,i don't really think 4.6 is a reasonable. 4.5, maybe, but 4.6 is still too new.

    Actually happened to me several times in the past few months with some preproduction mobile phone's i've been working with.

    I have never had this happen, and i've run down many batteries. Is it possible that some of the software your using is causing this, rather than the blackberry it self?

    no, the photographer was a stringer.

    who, while he recieved his money from them was not in them employ. he was working on a contractual basis per photo.

    In Fact the very page you link to says he was a freelance photographer.

    The rest of the discusion not only lacks actual backing, just speculation.

    actually all of the NEWER paving in the state of maine has involved rebuilding the road's surface, this has lead to serious time involved in stabalizing the seriously poor ground conditions that exist in this state.

    do you honestly belive that ANY landlord is going to lower his rent? No, he is going to pocket the difference and laugh all the way to the bank.

  15. Re:Are you kidding me? on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    perhaps because if he did give it away it would not recieve the level of press it does now. Like it or not, the best way for people to see this is to have it driven through the train that is media distribution in this country, and given our strangle hold on media, the world. and to DO THAT one must charge a price, because people like truck drivers and video store clerks need to get payed.

    in all honesty i would belive in this case (and many others) the RIAA is fully aware of what happened, considering the was working for a deal, usually such information is passed around.

    Check out IG Farben or Or any of the Major corperations inside the 3rd Reich. They BUILD PERSONAL prison camps hold workers who were worked to death in there factories.
