There is no grounds for comparing the app that was banned (essentially a Gmail front end as an app) and "allowing" iNotes ultralite that is actually a web page on your Notes/Domino server. This is just bad journalism on behalf of NY Times and seconded here.
Also - apple "allows" gmail web front end on iphone just exactly the same way it "allows" iNotes ultralite.
The iPhone, at least, has a "Disable Data Roaming" option... of course, they probably had that clue shoved down their throats by Apple.:)
This option was first demanded by a bunch of angry customers who had their email checking set every 15 minutes and got a huge roaming bill before Apple included it in the iphone software. For instance: http://boingboing.net/2007/07/31/att-iphone-intl-roam.html
My servers get at least 95% identified (and blocked) spam vs. ham across ~200 domains that have different characteristics. And i know that some of them slip through the filters also.
We use electronic banking authenticated with smart cards almost exclusively. We have never used any checks and we use credit cards only for purchases in shops, etc.
The internet bank gives you the following options for paying the bills: - you make the transfer yourself - you have the bank make the transfer of the same amount after regular intervals (e.g. monthly) - you (electronically) sign a contract that the utility will charge your bank account directly, but you set the limit to the amount
Only the third option gives a utility chance to "overdraw" from your account, but even then it is limited by yourself.
I highly doubt that Google would really want to leave out their own chat messenger from an OS they're releasing unless there was a pretty big reason to.
Nobody said they will be "leaving out their own chat messenger" - they said they will not include GTalkService API. I.e. you can not code a program utilizing gtalk services easily. That does not mean THEY (Google) can not code a chat messenger.
Gmail: no folders? WTF is with that? Labels are not like folders, and they're not better.
Hmm - i propose an experiment to you. Apply some labels to some mails in Gmail. Now set up an IMAP client to connect to Gmail inbox. Uh oh - what do you know - they are not only 'like folders' they 'are' folders.
I read: "3.5-inch hard drives: Want to upgrade the hard drive in your MacBook at the time of purchase?" I did not read further as i do not wish to upgrade any MacBooks with 3,5" drives in the near future.
You are talking about best practices. In reality i see nonfiltering hosts generating NDR's all the time and there is nothing in the SMTP RFC prohibiting it.
Yes, my servers are configured to refuse SMTP connection before queueing the DATA section if email is considered spam or the target mailbox is nonexistent or undeliverable, so there is no backscatter generated, but legitimate senders still get an NDR. Yes, in the ideal world everyone would do so. But in the real world it is not easily doable with many commercial mail servers (Exchange, Notes/Domino) - they queue the mail first and then start to generate NDR's for addresses that do not exist (which are usually either generated addresses like john@domain.com or badly harvested addresses like %3address@domain.com).
You should only get NDRs from your own ISP, as I undestand it. Wrong. The mail message may pass several servers on its way to destination and you will receive NDR from the server that can not deliver to the next hop. I might in most cases be your ISP's, but that doesn't mean it is always the case.
By the way Adobe CS3 for Macintosh installs Opera on my system without even asking me. Whats worse - different programs have different versions - Photoshopp.app folder contains one version of Opera, Indesign.app folder contains another. If they want to install me a new browser why can't Adobe stick to a common version at least!?
I have an old AMD-XP-something running windows XP at home, it is at 5 years old. I have a Core2Duo machine is sometimes use. I dont see much difference in day-to-day usage. Even if there is one, i would attribute most of that to faster drives and i/o.
Still, the fact remains that the x86 processors (due to the OS-s that run on them, actually) have not gone much faster in the last 5-7 years. The only thing that has shown serious progress is power consumption and heat dissipation. I mean - the speed the user experiences has not improved much.

The script downloads the patches from MS site and you can then burn it to cd or copy to usb or network. And apply them all at once. Works like charm.
That was an obvious advertisement in the form of a "research" of "the best torrent site". The best, according to that "research" was the one no one has ever heard of, and that requires you to pay for most of torrent links.
Now this.
The obviousness that this is some kind of hidden SSLExplorer commercial is blinding.

How could a "protocol" be "open source"? A protocol does not hava a "source", so it would be very hard to make it "open source".
BSD is Linux? I never knew, thanks!
I never said that. I said you could call OSX a BSD rather than Linux. But i wouldn't even do that.

Linux is a UNIX-based OS, and my favourite distro of it is Macintosh OS X
OSX is not Linux. I guess you could even call it BSD before you start calling it Linux.

Actually all you need to do is call the iphone, then when the call ends you are back at the home screen unrestricted.
No it does not. It still asks for the code after the call has ended.

m0n0wall does not support two WANs. So only pfsense qualifies.
i have to pay 300K to get a house AND i have to work two weeks as a rug store sales assistant. What a sweet deal.

Lets not forget what Durova means in slavonic languages. From Russian "Durak", Durova means "daughter of stupid".
Until it runs on Windows and OSX as well as Linuxes, it does not compete with anything.

I bet its just Microsoft Public Relations Blunder Research dept. letting slashdotters do the dirty work.
oh, right, the people without adblock have different concerns...
Im troll? Good work, moderators. Jeesh.
If thinking that news articles and ask slashdot is NOT the proper place for subliminal advertising makes me a troll, i am happy to be one.
