I don't own an iPhone. Security holes are security holes and poking fun of them is always fair game. However, the joke was clueless and unfunny. Sorry. Original poster here. Funny or unfunny is a matter of opinion, and you're entitled to yours. Clueless, no. I started programming when I was 10, back in the days of the 8086. Shortly before you started wearing adult diapers for incontinence.
I was logging into BBS's during their heyday as a teenager. I used to write scripts to play the chat room games for me—not macros, automated scripts. The fact that you inferred me to be ignorant of the distinction between modems, GSM, and Wi-Fi technologies based on a *joke* just makes you a mirthless wet blanket. Maybe you shouldn't assume the worst in people. (Then again, this is Slashdot.)
NO CARRIER wasn't a perfect fit, but it didn't matter. It's a joke, Mr. Spock.
And by the way, I do own an iPhone, and I actually did post the original message from it.
Leela: "No offense, Fry, but lately you've turned into a fat sack of crap." Fry: "Sack?!" Amy: "Yeah Bender, your beer belly's so big, your door won't even shut. And that doesn't even make sense."
What benefit would a high spec laptop with Vista have for me? It'd just burn battery and heat up my genitals. Also, be sure your laptop battery isn't made by Sony before setting it on your genitals.
The hard part for me was that to type a letter you have to cover the letter with your finger; I'm used to palm pilot so tended to type with the tip of my finger and got the key below and outside the one I was aiming for. It takes a little getting used to but after a few days use you can type nearly as fast.
What would really help is if all of iPhone's apps used the widescreen keyboard when you turn the unit sideways. For now it only does this in Safari (and it has to be in landscape mode before you bring up the keyboard).
The cheat program hogs the CPU by using it when the host OS isn't looking. As a result, it avoids the scrutiny of the OS's scheduler and is actually given a priority boost by some schedulers because of its good behavior.
This is accomplished by sleeping for a fixed amount in between OS clock ticks. The timeline looks like this:
Hardware is set to generate a "tick" event every N milliseconds.
Tick event occurs, which is handled by the OS.
OS notes which process is current running on the CPU and bills it for this tick.
OS wakes up cheating process, which is currently sleeping, and allows it to run.
Cheating process runs for M (< N) milliseconds, then requests to go to sleep for 0 milliseconds. This causes the cheating process to sleep until just after the next tick.
Slashdot Mirror
To "unmod" him you need to have moderator points, which are randomly distributed to logged in users.
Also the fact that you submitted a comment prevents you from moderating other comments in the same story.
3rd Bass! 3rd Bass was a rap group. The bit you referenced is actually an Abbot and Costello skit called Who's on First.

Wow, how insightful. Tell me more.

I think the word you're looking for is "ubiquity."
So when can I buy a 2G Hide-a-Pod?
I always buy stuff right before the new product lines get announced.
That's the joke I was searching for, thank you.
If I recall, these are the same shenanigans that crashed Yahoo Pipes.
You have to be careful with recursion!
$68K ought to be enough for anybody.
I saw a bumper sticker that said, "The only bush I trust is my own" :)
Damn.. I knew I should have added a "break;" somewhere in there...

If only I had mod points for you..
