I just started using Qurb and it works basically the same way. It integrates with Outlook and when you install it, it looks at your address book and all the emails still in your Inbox and adds those addresses to the white list. Then when you download new email if it doesn't know the sender, it saves it in a directory and reminds you at preset time intervals to look through and approve any of the senders. if you approve the sender of an email, it automatically adds all the other recipients of the email, since most likely friends of friends are your friends too. It also has the option of sending a challenge and auto responding to challenges sent by other people.
I agree, cameras aren't going to prevent a suicide bomber. Why would he care if someone saw him on camera. He's already in heaven with his 42 virgins. In fact, I think he would get some satisfaction in having his last moments on earth videotaped and seek out these places that are being filmed.
I also agree that the "security" industry is only looking to profit from this, and just think about how much they can profit selling these videos to news stations if they DO manage to capture something on camera.
And, this may start out just being at "power plants and dams", but once it's accepted there, what's going to prevent them from adding it to someplace a little more public, then a little more public.
I agree completely. My new job gave me a phone (sanyo 4900) with every bell and whistle on it (internet, pics, sounds, voice recorder, voice recognition, calendar, games, no camera though) and all that was cool for about two weeks. Now all I use it for is making calls and it's shitty at that. Half the time when I try to make a call it just drops it with out giving any kind of error even when I have a full signal. And when I can make a call, I can barely understand what they say and they can barely understand me, and this is from the company that advertises "state-of-the-art network technologies, including the United States' first nationwide all-digital, fiber-optic network" and "perfect clarity". The only good thing about it is that the battery lasts about a week. My 5? year old nokia 6900 from voicestream (now t-mobil) didn't have all the extra "features" on it and the battery only lasted about a day, but it made damn good phone calls.
I still think the best combination of technology was putting a watch into my phone. Now I don't have to wear a bulky chunk of metal on my wrist that only has one function.
Well, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty, NOTHING is a source of energy. Everything has received it's energy from something else and is only storing it until it transferes it to something else.
Remember, it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
After they switch your line over to receive data, you have to have a filter on your tv to watch it. I get free cable tv from my apartment complex and only pay for data, but I know that you can receive data without tv. One time on the phone with them they asked if I wanted to get tv too and told me I would get $10 off my data service. I told them I already got tv for free from my landlord and asked if I could get the discount anyway. But she said no.
BTW, T-mobil now offers free nights too, I found it on their website. You have to call and ask about it and they will add it to your service if you agree to another year.
The only telemarketing calls I've got on my cell are from companies I already do business with(ie:discover card) trying to sell me more services. They call it because I list it as my home number and since they aren't using a telemarketing database, they don't know it's a cell. I just tell them so and tell them to never call me again. (they have my email address and home address they can send offers to, I don't need them wasting my time on the phone)
My new phone (sanyo 4900) has a call screen function. If you don't recognise the number, you can hit "screen call" and it will ask them to leave a message. But instead of going to your voicemail, it lets you listen to it while it also records it in the phone and then you can decide to answer or not. Don't know what other phones have this function.
I've seen cradles for cell phones that let you hook in an external antenna for better reception and then plugs into your house phone line so all your land phones go through your cell.
You could get satalite service for your internet connection to get away from bell. As for cable, I use cox in oklahoma and they don't require you to have basic cable, but you get a $10/month discount if you do have it.
You could also make a deal with one of your neighbors to install DSL on top of their land line and share the data line.
After I got dropped kicked from my last big corporate job, they sent us to interview training as part of the severance package and they told us to answer it by stating a genuine weakness, but also add what you've done to fix it.
IE: I'm always late to work, so I bought 75 alarm clocks and hid them in various places around my house.
Or: I have trouble keeping track of all my tasks, so I started tattooing them on my skin so I see them in the mirror when I get up.

And what about those pens that write upside down?
Don't take away my pens, Joe!

I think they want to change the name so all three will be together in the "I"s in video store shelves.

Like Theme Hospital? Try Life and Death 2: The Brain They let us play that in high school, and get credit for it!
The savings in production cost is to make up for the loss due to MP3s.
Just like movies cost so much to make up for the money lost when people sneak into more than one.

Just tell her it was in the fine print of your contract that you had to upgrade your phone every 6 months/whatever.
I still think the best combination of technology was putting a watch into my phone. Now I don't have to wear a bulky chunck of metal on my wrist.

You can still upgrade your phone and your service, you just can't change providers.
Good thing I married one then. And I'm going to do my best to pollute their gene pool

Just a quick search found these. There might be more.

C is correct....
We would have also accepted "a puppy"
I think the real question is can you run linux on all their old handhelds that they are going to be getting rid of?
