So what. Who cares. Let them.
We all know (or should if you don't) why the Sender-ID 'standard' is flawed and subscribers will draw their own conclusions when mail from all their friends goes to junk.
So, who cares. They really think they can strongarm this? Like other the so flawlessly successful strongarm tactics? Good luck.
PS: And to anyone still using hotmail.. well.. bummer.
Isn't this typical IT adoption cycle? New mandates are made, stuff is introduced, support orgs are lagging behind, stalling initial adoption. It's the exception when these things go smoothly. So, par for the course.
Somebody is obviously looking for a story.
Go back to bed, nothing to see here. Just business as usual.
I'm sorry. Does anyone have actual pointers to what the issues with Apache2 & PHP are? The reference to the board meeting notes really doesn't offer any insight as to what's going on here.
Nothing personal, but I don't let them get the first sentence out. And I've noticed that I get much fewer calls than before. I suspect a refusal to listen gets noted somewhere in some database and eventually you get fewer calls as a result..
I'm sorry, but why do people feel that they deserve to give the caller some kind of chance when they call you? or that they would be rude just hanging up on them?
The number of people who feel that they must adhere to some politeness code on the phone when their privacy of their home is so rudely interrupted is astonishing.
Perhaps you might want to consider accepting reality in that most businesses actually are trying to run a business and are saturated with employees at the present time. The market sucks. That is reality. And the last thing an employer wants to spend money on is training newbies in the business (may seem near sighted, but it's reality when even long standing employees are having trouble in the personal development funding game). In fact, they've been laying off folks with years of experience! No certification, or other book knowledge achievement (that's what most certs are these days, and if they aren't they are unobtainium for entry levels anyway and non-starters for that reason). OTOH, getting yourself plastered with certs may make you more attractive -- no employer I care to work for, however. Real experience does matter and can only be gained in entry level jobs.
Oh, your college has sold you on being ready for the workplace? Wake up. Any college trying to sell you something anywhere close to that, for anything other than entry level positions in highly specialized professions is committing fraud in advertising.
Find an entry level job and hang your expectations lower. If a job is asking for years of experience in a real business, there's little you can do. Perhaps get a side job while in college in the field you're interested in.
Why are you looking at jobs with that sort of experience anyway? You're a beginner in the field. Get over it. You may have to start out small and improve over time, possibly be finding new employers every few years to get the neccessary salary bumps.
However, reality is.. this is a tough market for those folks that have a decade or more experience to bring to the table, so, do yourself a favor and end the frustration by accepting the reality like the rest of us.
There used to be an alternative. Go to a startup, where opportunity to learn and improve skills are plenty, and demand is high. But those days are over for the time being. If you can land a job there, good luck, you might be able to accelerate your professional life if you play your cards right.
North America, for example, has been pretty consistently on a different standards track than rest-of-world. And survived thus far.
Eventually, the best standard will win. GSM is being adopted
here for a reason.
And what's wrong with letting the market decide who will win.
If U.S. and other firms priced themselves out of the market because ofexcessive license fees... well, that's why it's a market and the market will address those notions in its own way as it always done.
No need for panic, or "fears of isolation". Stop the trolls.
Since when is a SIM card anonymous? It's the "SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE"..
April 1, yet? Yes?
If there's anything news worthy in this it's that they were stupid.
"The rest of the world should be embarassed that they were willing to leave Saddam in power"
Seems you're missing the whole point of what that debate is all about. One state going out and disabling another state for whatever reason is a quite dangerous precident. Where does this philosophy start and end?
The arrogance is in the notion that you control the world. And that's precisely what you're arguing for.
In fact, a perfect demonstration why a GPS alternative is a great idea.
"The French. The French. The French. Ooops, a little Belgian right there. The French. The French. The French.. bla bla bla"
So, it's a scary idea when the U.S. isn't the only superpower or superior in a specific area? Yeah, guess what, that's how the rest of the world feels and they're doing their part to get out from under that threat.
"US is fighting the next war" -- a rather cynical statement, don't you think?
May have been in the works for years, but the threat that the U.S. main distort the signal at will is something the rest of the world isn't willing to accept.
Then later, a court finds that the car I purchased was manufactured with or contains parts, which are a violation of some intellectual property agreement.
How can I as the consumer be held liable for driving said car?
Bullsh*t.

Blah. Working IPv6 as part of my day job... that argument doesn't hold water.
Anyone with a brain (or not) will have a broadband router at home. Which will act as a firewall, too. And should.
No reason why this can't and shouldn't be a SIP/H.323/whatever proxy. That's probably the most sensible way to demilitarize such traffic anyway.
Bzzzzzzzzzzt Sorry. No score for IPv6 plug, but thanks for playing.
I use vonage business VoIP services. I have calls drop and poor sound quality as is, now if I brought the unpredictability of Wi-Fi connections into play, it would only get worse.
Completely agree. I've lost count a long time ago of neighbors 2.4GHz cordless phones punting my WLAN off the air (like my own 2.4GHz phone does occasionally, too).
Wireless 2.4GHz & 5GHz spectrum devices do NOT play nice with each other. Not good at all.
I was working on a disruptive technologies study 4 yrs ago, and we had a 'cordless' VoIP phone from Symbol Technologiesin our lab. Production release back then. In fact, they still make one it seems.
Spoke H.323 and allowed you to call by IP addr as well as by E.164 address. Spoke 802.11b.
So, this isn't really a new idea. Just Cisco's edition.
would really hate it if we got this in my country... i mean, if you cant instantly tell the network when you look at the number, how will i know the price of the phone call in advance?
Do you have a cell phone? Notice how virtually everyone offers no-long-distance plans?
Oh wait, you're a creepy prepaid cellular customer.
I can call my girlfriend for 5 cents, but calling people on other networks would cost me 30 cents per minute!
That already exists and has nothing to do with number portability. And cost will decrease by way of increase competition.
I think having a number would be cool, but there are other implications. Imagine the privacy concerns of not changing your number
What the heck does a number have to do with privacy?!.. Put down the crackpipe.
Another issues is routing of the call and how much more work this would add for the phone company that they would be willing to charge you more for. In my opinion they charge to much already.
It's already solved. Has been for years. Called LNP. It's not technology, it's fear and anti-competitive notions.
Why do you think providers love the heavily fragment market of CDMA, TDMA, CDMA PCS, TDMA PCS, Sprint PCS, iDEN & GSM in the U.S.? Switching is hell.
Why do you think U.S. lags behind in wireless growth?

This is a contract dispute at best. Move along, nothing to see here.

Cracks me up.
And the response from Apple's customer support to this was what? Seems this is an issue you need to take up with Apple directly.
Verisign just developed a way to couple subscriber identity in hardware to everything a subscriber does. Jackpot. *Ding* *ding* *ding*.

Depends on the country. You can in France, for example. That's why the Porsche 911 is a 911 and not a 901. Peugeot had copyrighted the x0x numbers.

Good points, but..
"to the contrary, Europe will probably import some parts from the US"
I would very much doubt that. So, you build an independent system, yet are dependent on components for said system.
Makes no sense. They'll be sourcing from their own. Wanna bet?
So, it's a scary idea when the U.S. isn't the only superpower or superior in a specific area? Yeah, guess what, that's how the rest of the world feels and they're doing their part to get out from under that threat.

Exactly, not having number portability is anti-competitive. They're trying to protect their cartels.
If you want to keep your number, cool.. LNP provides for that. If not, cool, here's your new number and your old one goes back to the pool.
Get the facts straight. Oh, wait, this > is a thread /.
