You aren't allowed to speed in a car, but you do. And with the current jailbreaking solutions, it doesn't void your warranty or anything since you can restore it to factory original settings etc.
And the iPhone does have a real keyboard, and for less than $600.
While I'm not disagreeing that you can get SSH on other phones, it also works great on the iPhone.
I'm always dead nice to the guys on the phone. Now, our contract is just a standard, clicked 4 hour (or next day) support on the website when we purchased, and we're small so we only buy 2-5 servers a year so maybe they just don't care about us little guys.
Funny that you mention the onsite support. We used that option once, and yes, they just contracted it out to someone, but when they got to our server, in the data centre, they replaced the motherboard (which was working, but 'just in case'), with one that was completely DOA. All we needed changed was the RAID controller. Fortunately they did ship one of those too so the tech had to re-replace the motherboard with our original one and then the RAID controller, and then we were back up and running, only 3 days of downtime!
5 minutes on the phone with Dell? Are you kidding? I've never been on the phone for less than 5 hours with Dell. They're insane.
I can tell them exactly what the issue is right away, and they'll still make me go through all the tests to prove that what I'm telling them is in fact the problem. We have 4 hour service from them, yet, that 4 hours doesn't count until after they acknowledge what the problem is, it's not 4 hours from when you say you have a problem.
Also, for servers that we have next day service on, they also like to make you wait on the phone just past their shipping deadline for the day, so that you don't actually get the parts until two days later.
This is akin to someone leaving an outdoor tap running, and another person walking by with an empty glass and filling it up. You're not using the water (bandwidth), it's running (not being stored), so you're paying the same cost either way.
With a car, it costs the owner something, wear and tear, gas etc if someone borrows it. Not to mention that two people can't drive the car at the same time, but two people can surf at the same time. With wifi, there is no additional cost (unless the person abuses the link but that's not what we're talking about).
Exactly, this is more of a problem with GPLv3 than it is with Apple's license.
Also, a lot, if not all of the iPhone API is documented on the 'Net and so is available elsewhere and thus, is not confidential information, therefore your source is free to release.
He is widely credited with introducing the idea of the communications satellite, the first of which were launched in the early 1960s. But he never patented the idea, prompting a 1965 essay that he subtitled, "How I Lost a Billion Dollars in My Spare Time.
Look at the advancement of humankind because he didn't patent the idea of satelites
If you're able to solve the problem of time travel, your problem is nothing to worry about. Just has to be factored into the equation. Might not want to be the first guy to go though.
Actually that's a good comparison, and while I've never stolen anything from a store, I hate that I'm treated like a thief just for shopping. And it's very very annoying when you buy something, have it swiped to cancel the RFID tag or whatever and still have the alarm sound when you exit. Only to return to have the item reswiped, and then have the alarm go off again. At this point, the sales clerk usually just says "It's ok, go through" and you leave with the alarm going.
It gets worse, when you then go to another store, still carrying the same stuff you just bought, and having their alarm go off upon you ENTERING the store!
Granted, it would be better if no one stole shit, but making me, an innocent party suffer doesn't solve the problems.
This is so true. Often I'm coding while the TV is on playing a DVR'd show. I usually let the commercials play but always fast forward through the irritating ones (Sympatico I'm talking to you!). Sometimes I'll even rewind to rewatch a commercial if it was funny (or the girl in it is smoking hot).
Safari for Mac OS X has a 'Private Browsing' option that does exactly that. Doesn't cache, store cookies, or remember anything about what you've done once you've done it. And it's already available for Mac!
Of course, Internet Explorer does this sometimes, but it's more of a random thing, deletes everything, history, favourites, cookies etc. Happens every once in a while, I thought it was a bug, but maybe it's a 'feature'.
Manger said observed behaviour supports his iconoclastic take on dolphins as dim-wits.
"You put an animal in a box, even a lab rat or gerbil, and the first thing it wants to do is climb out of it. If you don't put a lid on top of the bowl a goldfish it will eventually jump out to enlarge the environment it is living in," he said.
"But a dolphin will never do that. In the marine parks, the dividers to keep the dolphins apart are only a foot or two above the water between the different pools," he said.
Manger says the thought to jump over would simply not cross their unsophisticated minds.
This has got to be some of the worst logic ever. For one, the goldfish would die, that doesn't make it smart, it makes it stupid.
And for dolpins not to escape, could be argued that they're smart enough to know they have an easy life where they are in the fully staffed spa of luxury. Who'd want to leave?
I think from the article, that Dolphins are even more intelligent than the so called scientist that came up with this theory.
On a side note, anyone find it odd that this is report in Aljazeera?
The idle-processor-high-pitch-noise was killing me. But because I had upgraded the HD and ram, I'm going to have to send it in.
If you have a retail store near by, you can just take the Mac back there. They will change some board (I think the guy called it the logic board), and that will fix the buzzing noise.
Regarding the upgraded machine, I had extra RAM in mine, which wasn't a problem. They just popped it out of the old machine, and put it into the new machine. Did it right in the store. An upgraded hard drive, would have been more of an issue though, as they don't replace (or upgrade) those in the store so far as I know.

As soon as Microsoft can get Vista work for IE, or get it to work at all.

Use (a jailbroken) iPhone.
I have an iPhone and love it. My brother has an E70 and loves it (when it works).

This is thanks to the early jailbreakers etc.

Those are the rates Rogers charges in Canada.

Sounds like a good time to short the stock then.
Yeah that stat has to be wrong. No way 1 in 3 Canadians used eBay in August.

I would argue that procrastination powers slashdot, case in point, I have a 3pm deadline that I can't possibly meet and yet I'm posting here.
It's just you. They haven't had a warm up period for years now.
it's not a story if it's not hacked, so they made it easier to hack? wtf?
not to mention Zend's solution: The Zend Framework.
