Thanks for that. I am pretty unhappy with my new Motorola KRAVE (for reasons beside SMS or IM) and will return it before the 30 days are up. I was considering a WiMo phone instead. If that doesn't satisfy me, I'll keep my trusty old LG VX8300.
From what I read on Techdirt, it claims that communications between Hubble and Earth cost around $18/MB; in conclusion, I'd say the rates I pay for texting are actually a bargain.
Yeah, but you girlfriend is clearly getting ripped off. I mean, look what's on the other end of the conversation.
How can they get away with that? I guess the other carriers do it too. IM is a free service offered by Yahoo, MSN and AOL and others. How does VZ get away with charging me to use a free service provided by a 3rd party? Why don't IM messages go over my data plan?
If I get a phone that runs Windows Mobile and install a IM client on that device, will it use the data service I'm paying for, or will Verizon somehow pipe those into their TXT network, too, and charge me extra to send "LOL" and ":)"?
Well, Israel won't let the Gazans have cooking gas, nor aluminum. He probably (and perhaps justifiably) fears that if he revealed all the materials used in his invention, Israel would forbid one or more critical components.
This is the first time, I think, that Slashdot has published an article written by someone who has both never used a PC and never used a console (opening coconuts with it doesn't count).
You're giving too much credit to the coral. Atolls sit atop seamounts that have summits just below the surface. It takes quite a lot of inorganic volcanism to form the seamount habitats where coral can finally thrive. But this is just the last stage of seamount evolution, not the genesis of them.

The one that the ID-ists object to is Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection...
No they don't. They object to a stalking-horse theory that only superficially resembles Darwin's. The only known use for this "theory" of evolution is to stoke outrage among the faithful and provide a foil for ID ramblings.
I have not played with Open Solaris but with normal Solaris you need to set parameters in the/etc/system file to get good performance.
Solaris 10 deprecates almost every setting you are used to putting in/etc/system. Most of the no longer have any effect. Instead, you create resource controls in the global zone using the zone management tools (or editing the files by hand). The new method allows you to adjust any tunable without having to reboot the kernel.
I guess the author has ESL. 'Reverberates' uses only left-hand letters and is not past tense, so it would be the equal of 'stewardesses' (it's also not politically incorrect).
I've read fanfic with better ideas that that stinking pile. Good grief! Even a parody of bad Star Trek plots has to have some humor and imagination. This lacks any of that.
That's not a feature of bash, per se, it's a feature of the bash profile shell script, which calls/etc/bash_completion to source functions for each command that will have completion support. For ssh, it looks in known_hosts for completion, not/etc/hosts.
After the US government response to the big bank's big bladder problems, "Huge" just doesn't have the same OMG ring to it. These days "Titanic" is practically a synonym for "tiny."
$125 Million is the lint between pocket change by comparison.
Well that's false. Since about 2004, I have been stopped each time I have driven along I-10 between El Paso and the I-10/I-20 split. Every single time, and I'm driving alone in a private vehicle. They always ask me if I am a US Citizen. They have never asked me to prove it, though they have also never permitted me to ask questions about why they are stopping people. "Just answer the question sir, are you a US Citizen?"
Is it not written that 'whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness'?
They're re-making Red Dawn (makes sense, what with Putin rearing his head over Alaska) They're re-making Weird Science (makes sense, the computer-literate audience of today will totally buy that) Wil Smith is re-making Karate Kid with his own kid. I kid you not. They're reviving the Friday the 13th series (make sense, since none of that series made any sense) And they're re-making Top Gun, because 300 was just not gay enough.
I even heard Zucker wants to re-make Airplane! with an anti-Democrat theme.

That's the great-grand-daddy of (graphical) MMO games, still up and running after 15 years.

It says 40% of the oxygen in the air, not oxygen is 40% of the air.

DSLreports.com is that-a-way ->
If I was interested in reading n00b threads from that site, I'd log on to it.
What's a "station wagon?"

"Devertebrated" is as stupid as "deevolved."

Bush trashed Bush. Facts and History have a well-known liberal bias.

Here's another rebuttal to this old saw from Christianity Today: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/may/22.64.html
Is it not written that 'whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness'?
Bring it on.
My technological solution is to change the name of Caller ID to Caller Screen Name. Then no one will be confused about what it means anymore.
Oh. I see. So this isn't really stuff that matters.

WTF. I logged in just now and read/replied to mails without a problem. Check the Windows Firewall on the CEO's computer, maybe?
Well, let's see....
They're re-making Red Dawn (makes sense, what with Putin rearing his head over Alaska)
They're re-making Weird Science (makes sense, the computer-literate audience of today will totally buy that)
Wil Smith is re-making Karate Kid with his own kid. I kid you not.
They're reviving the Friday the 13th series (make sense, since none of that series made any sense)
And they're re-making Top Gun, because 300 was just not gay enough.
