but why use your cellphone as a voip phone? does it work for dialing also, or just speaker/headphone?
in my opinion I'd rather use a usb headset than my cellphone for VoIP or Skype, but thats just me.
Try fighting the bureaucrats entrenched at NASA to do that. You will not win.
Or how about you come up with a design that does the same as the shuttle?
You are quite right. Also the single beep would be hard to trace down to the person that had it simply by hearing it, like you said, people aren't even sure they heard it.
You certianly have a good point, if you are walking around a store (say walmart for example) and you hear someones cell phone ringing a new stock ringtone, you can see like 10 people reach for the phones to make sure if its them. For some reason, a friends father checks his phone after hearing any ring, guess he'll never miss a call that way, lol.
We've come a long way from a simple ringing sound, and now we've got polyphonic ringtones, mp3 ringtones, etc. So what is next? Personal vibrating patterns?
Is this a surprise to anyone? Having non-technical backgrounded managers are for one, cheaper, and two easier to be dictated to by upper management, since they don't even know what their department does...
I'm sure they will eventually try and up the prices until the price of buying an album online (mp3/aac) are the same, around what 15.00-20.00?
What do we expect, they want all the money they can get their hands on, and well, if a song is only 99 cents, and the equivalent price of buying a cd would be somewhere around 1.25-1.50 depending on the price of the song.
I can just hope that apple and the other major legal music download services will stick to their guns and not succumb to the music industry.
Seems to me like your just trying to start your own MS verses *nix thread, not prove one or the other.
Why the hell does it matter if *nix beats MS or MS beats *nix they are two completely different entities, and have their own uses. For example, at a major corporation you'd be likely to find windows on machines used for timecards, corporate email, access databases, etc. But also you'll probably find *nix systems in use in corporations that interface with portions of the government (use NASA for example). Tru64 Unix is used in Mission Control as the primary platform for flight control operations, anyone who works there will tell you the same. And yet there are windows machines right next to them, like I said above, used for timecards, email, manuals, etc, but aren't considered "Flight Critical".
The point I'm trying to get across here, is why must we quibble over which is better until both camps are blue in the face, when we can just realize that each operating system has its uses, and is therefore still important to the development of science, technology, etc.
Go ahead, make my karma lower, but I think this MS verses *nix crap is the real BS at this point. Think about it.
They neglected to say how the origional server went down "hard". Did someone hack it? Or did it just crash?
I could believe that they would pull it after a hacking incident, but after a hardware failure, I can't see that they would just drop it after that. But oh well, yet another alphabet agency...

Oh I know, lol. I've already been forced to evacuated from Galveston, lol. Hmm, an alternate location, hmm, Costa Rica sounds good :)
no kidding. a change of locale would be nice, especially getting away from the heat (texas)...
not at all, I'd rather they not be bought by any major corporation.
yes, perhaps. but why not just use a bluetooth headset if you don't want another handset?
wait... isn't ebay the one that is looking at buying them?

best of luck to you. lol.
oh, I'm sorry, lol, I'll have to fix my spell check to make sure 'gangsta' is correct :)
you want to have sex with a girl? find a bar, you'd probably be rejected less there...
Yes, soon they'll have you playing gangster rap against your will, 21st century here we come!
haha. from my experience in meetings, I'd say yea, "you're fired" or "turn that $%#&ing phone off "...
