    It's fine and you're retarded.

    Which should be enough for most...

    More details than CNN

    "This report gives an overview of current forensic software, designed for acquisition, examination, and reporting of data discovered on cellular handheld devices, and an understanding of their capabilities and limitations."

    "Police expert admits mobile phone forensics barrier"

    As posted to the internet just last month:

    "A police digital forensics expert has admitted that some mobile phones are impenetrable to software used by police in forensic examinations. The revelation follows a paper by a Cambridge researcher which originally made the claim."

    You're right; I also expect an eternal power source on space probes.

  7. Re:If it works, it sounds great. Quad Band? on Trolltech Woos Developers with 'Open' Linux Phone · · Score: 1

    Good thing I'm in the UK! Sounds like you've got a sweet setup there, just the type of thing I'm holding out for.

  8. Re:If it works, it sounds great. Quad Band? on Trolltech Woos Developers with 'Open' Linux Phone · · Score: 1

    Then it's probably not worth owning. I refuse to spend money on a mobile phone unless it comes with WiFi. So far I've had a long wait, although I hope to own the new SonyEricsson P990 at some point.

    Seriously though, why make something without WiFi? I want connectivity on a phone, especially if it's going to run the same OS as my laptop and router.

    Cell phone companies don't need to cooperate, this phone is being released as part of a development kit (look, it's even under the developer's section of /.). You buy it then put your sim card in. It'll probably cost a lot of money because of the lack of a network provider to pay for most of it.

  10. No details on Trolltech Woos Developers with 'Open' Linux Phone · · Score: 1

    Of course, there's no information about where in the world this will be available (although suggestions of both Aisa and the US) or how much it's going to cost you.

    I'd like to get hold of one, but it looks like vapourware to me.

  11. Re:So what exactly is wrong with amateur tabs? on OLGA Shut Down by DMCA (again!) · · Score: 1

    Probably not, but there are book stores out there full of exensive to buy guides to playing your favourite songs. You can still learn how to play all the hits, but it'll cost you.

  12. Re:Wireless wants to be free. on Wireless Security Attacks and Defenses · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as "leeching wardrivers". Wardriving is not a crime. Please visit the below link for educaiton on the subject:

  13. Re:What is this, digg? on The Treo 700p Confirmed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Don't worry, it's slashdotted already. There's only one thing worse then a blog, and that's a blog that doesn't work properly.

  14. Before anyone trys on Chinese Scientist Admits To Stealing Chip Research · · Score: 0

    There's no way I could think of a funny "chips own you" joke out of communist China. In this case, somebody else owned the chips and some guy in communist China didn't. Thanks, I'll be here all week!

    There's hundred of guys on the internet that will now never get cancer of the ass. So I'm told...

  16. Re:Berry Timely on Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yeah, sure, China _the_country_ was waiting for RIM to run out of money so they wouldn't get dragged through some foriegn courts. I bet they were really afraid of that.

    In real life, the American trademark / patent system can do little if the Chinese government decide not to be bound by it. You think China _the_country_ is going to end up dragged into a Canadian court and punished? Sounds a little silly to me. It is, after all, the Chinese government that decides on Chinese policy, not the western courts.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're a middle class American white male, aged less then 30, you've never left your country of birth and can count the ammount of times you've left your state of birth on one hand. Why do I say this? Well, the evidence came from your belief that the American corporate legal system runs the world.
