No. But you can't whine when a development group stops supporting the version YOU like. There's a roadmap. If you want to support your older version you're free to do so. That's the power of open source. Not "I want what I want and I want it for free and with no time or effort on my part."
On my Blackberry Curve, I'm getting within 1500 meters accuracy (western suburbs of Chicago). Further west in rural areas, I get 3000 meters accuracy, and in downtown Chicago I get anywhere from 200-800 meters of accuracy. That's not horrible for AGPS, with no on-board GPS. I look forward to the API being opened up on this bad boy.
One of the cool features is that I can set my location manually. So if I want to tell someone I'm somewhere, but be somewhere else, it's entirely possible.
If I clean-room reverse engineer a piece of software, and then proceed to open source the results, have I stolen something from the other person? The code is from scratch. The time was mine (or others I paid). Is depriving someone of income theft if gone about in legal ways?
So if two people on opposite sides of the world come up with the same idea at the same time, one needs to "license" his idea from the other person? Fuck. that.
So you'd much rather the US use it's economic strength to break countries who do this? The US can live without Italy, can Italy say the same of the US?
I used the wrong phrase. Companies use H1-Bs to either a) keep the market rate of a position lower or b) to avoid paying the market rate, taking advantage of the fact that the H1-B *wants* to come to the US, and would accept a lower payrate than a US worker.
It's pretty expensive to put the equipment onsite to run a cellsite, not including the cost of the uplink back to the provider's central network (T1s in most places, but fiber in some places).

Cell tower triangulation = cell tower triangulation
AGPS = GPS with assist from network to get TTFF (time to first fix). (I hear that the TTFF goes from minutes to seconds with AGPS)
GPS = Actual on-board GPS hardware

I ride a motorcycle with several friends in Northern Illinois. This will be extremely handy when we want to meet up.
I guess we'll just have to change the laws in the US. That is one of the benefits of living here compared to other countries.
But are there hot chicks in Uruguay? I kid I kid =)
If a business goes elsewhere, the vacuum will be filled by someone else.

Amazon trusts Xen to drive it's entire EC2 cloud computing infrastructure. Which, may I add, also drive's Amazon's entire online retailing business. I'm sure it's ready for enterprise scenarios.

EC2 uses Xen virtualization.

Can't we just clone the ice caps?
Modded down? Sir, there are people blocks away from you headed there with brass knuckles and long chains. Post accordingly.
Oh snap! That crack you heard? Parent bitchsmacking GPP.
2) What do you use for your website? Wordpress? Joomla? I dig it, and was just curious.
Riggght. Because so many countries purchase Zimbabwe treasuries, or rush to them for safety in terrible economic conditions.

A study finds that 13% of the visa petitions for U.S. employers to bring in skilled foreign workers are fraudulent

I would not consider our current situation "successful", and biggest economic power does not equal highest quality of life.
