    "highly unlikely that corporate environments will recommend it"

    riiight, that's why Dell is moving its workforce to WP7 right?

  2. Re:If You're Late to the Party on Did the Windows Phone 7 Bomb In the US? · · Score: 1

    you don't need a static IP, all phones support remote messaging directly to the device (in the form of toasts when the app is closed, or raw data transfer when the app is opened). And it most certainly supports remote wipe in addition to other nice features like "find my phone" which is available via the windows phone Live portal.

  3. Re:I still want it in PDA form. on Did the Windows Phone 7 Bomb In the US? · · Score: 1

    All "indy" developers, whether game or app, have full access to the windows phone 7. You can make an xbox game, and assuming you use the right APIs, port it directly to the phone. Of course you wouldn't want to do that since it's a different form factor, but you can share all of the code (physics, graphics, ai, etc.). And if your game is good enough, it'll be picked up by the xbox live managed platform program, and you can integrate xbox live, achievements, leaderboards, and gamerpoints.

  7. Re:Keep a cat out when it has a mouse?? on Parallel Programming For the Arduino · · Score: 2, Informative

    I read this story a *long* time ago, but I remember that someone built a cat door that used a webcam to capture the silhouette of his cat as he entered the cat door. The software would look at the shape, and use a computer learning algorithm to "recognize" the cat ... that way, when he tried to enter with a mouse in his mouth, it would block him. It also had the effect of keeping out raccoons because it obviously wouldn't fit the profile

  8. Scamming the Scammers on Millions Continue To Click On Spam · · Score: 1

    Who's to say that since all these people are likely infected by some malware, that some of that malware isn't auto downloading/clicking on some of this spam? I mean, the people sending out the spam are already lowlifes, why wouldn't they scam their own clients (the spam products) to boost their own clickthrough ratios ;-)

  18. Operational Hazard on Keeping Customer From Accessing My Database? · · Score: 1

    just because they have readonly access, doesn't mean they can't bring down your system. I mean, what if they write a bad query that joins incorrectly and produces a huge cartesian join. not only that, but if there's more than one customer's data in there, what's the stop them from querying other client's records. maybe one way is to give them a page on a web server that would scrub their sql queries, and maybe append something like "and customerid=blah"

  19. Re:The whole Street View idea... on Google's Street View Meets Resistance In France · · Score: 1

    you're right ... I should have just said, "I'll stop just short of suggesting a solution" ... but thanks for only quoting part of the sentence to further your own point.
