  1. Re:Faux stupidity is the key on How To Vet Clever Ideas Without Giving Them Away? · · Score: 1

    That's absurd, everyone knows that kittens have a higher Joule per liter ratio than babies. Do you know what the incubation time on a baby is? Nine months! Compare that to the three months tops on a kitten. And you only get one or two babies per baby producing mother. Kittens come in litters, litters equal more fuel. Burning babies in an engine!? What a preposterous idea!

    and that is where the measurement "litters per 100 km" comes from

    No, the lesson is that the law actually takes notice of the real world, and that shell games like the GP suggests only work until the laws are updated to reflect the reality...

    you mean like how the government has shut down the shell games the international financial system has been playing since the beginning of time...oh wait....

  8. Re:Thank you on An Experiment In BlackBerry Development · · Score: 1

    My experience as a sysadmin is the exact opposite of yours. Having rolled out over 30 BES implementations, they tend to work almost flawlessly and require no 3rd party software to work with Exchange, since that is the whole point of a BES. The BB, BES combo is robust and reliable. The CAL' s are cheap, certs are not required for security as on a WInMo or iPhone and BB's rarely need to get reset unlike the steaming pile that is WinMo. iPhones are nice for home users but activesync just doesn't have the functionality of BES (and activesync pounds away on a server like there is no tomorrow). Your post seems like complete FUD, or you don't know how to setup and manage BES/BB implementations, and has not been the experience of myself or any other BES admins i know. BB's "just work", unlike WinMo.

    WinCE isn't even a good OS for phones...unless you enjoy rebooting your phone twice a day. And try suppporting activesync for desktops for a while and see how soon you want to send all WinCE devices to the bottom of the sea.
