This little trick doesn't work for me anymore.. It did up until the latest 'update' though. IIRC 64bit XP Pro doesn't have WGA.. maybe it's time I switched to that. I'd go Mac but I like doing stuff other than video and picture editing and putting Mr. Jobs' grandkids through Harvard.
So putting the files into a directory FOR MY OWN USE is illegal? Is it my fault if some asshole finds the URL for my directory and cracks the FTP password? Should I even have to lock them down at all? I don't think so..
Yes I do. BREW is a proprietary platform developed by Qualcomm. It provides Apps and Games that are sold to mobile phone subscribers. The development of these apps costs a small fortune, so there are few freeware BREW based apps. I know a few BREW developers, and they have all commented on how much like Java, if not exact, the apps really are. I'm all about making money, but BREW is senseless. Java has been available on mobile devices for longer, and is free to develop for. BREW takes the idea of Java and charges for it.
I have a Nokia 6255i CDMA phone, and I get ~100kbps over 1xRTT. Opera Mini runs beatifully on it, and has for about 2 months now. I'm also using Google Local Mobile. This phone kicks major ass, it plays full motion video (30fps) and uses up to 2GB MMC cards. It also has Bluetooth, a good quality VGA camera, an MP3 player, and FM radio. If you really NEED a larger screen, use Bluetooth to connect your laptop or a PDA (I use a Toshiba e800) and surf on that.
My carrier (US Cellular) tries to lock out the built in browsers on all of their phones and sells a minibrowser called nWeb over BREW. It does the same thing as Opera Mini, only it does a very shitty job of it. They took their sweet time getting a NBokia version out, so I hacked the PRI file on my phone to unlock the browser and a few other things (MP3 ringtones and OTA Java midlet downloads). After you get the lameass restrictions off of it this is a sweet phone.

WHAT?!? uTorrent does just about everything Azureus does.. but without the memory problems Java brings..
You mean they finally released an uninstaller???

Why would you want to PAY for something that's free to everyone else?? BREW is nothing more than a wrapper for J2ME anyway..
