Or even better, allows you to pick and choose
who[m] you want informed
In particular, it would be pretty nasty to not
filter out of the To list addresses like
0.555.HER.PHONE@sms-gateway.her-network.com. It's unlikely that could be done programatically.
Receiving on my Nokia a suggestion to change my mail reader isn't something I'm really likely to find useful, and waking me up at 4am to
suggest this would be - somewhat unendearing.
Surely not - the silencing isn't jamming, the phone will still be going through all the normal authentication and call set-up protocol, but the "Q-Zone" code will (at the user's option) tell the phone to behave as if its "Silent" mode was selected.. maybe it will vibrate instead, or beep once quietly instead of playing the 1812 with full cannon salute, or just auto-decline the call. It *won't* act as if *switched off* which is when you could intercept (if you knew how to do that anyway).
On the other hand, if you want to carry around a tiny bluetooth transceiver all the time, you can prevent people disturbing you (or deny service if that makes you happy). At least, the socially responsible minority, who will stop playing nice once the tactic becomes widely known.
Loading a copyrighted work from its distribution medium into ephemeral storage in order to use it is illegal under copyright law unless a license explicitly lets you? Wow.
Where's the "license to read" in this book on my desk? Where's the "licence to listen" on these music CDs? If there were one, could it take away my rights to remember what I read/heard?
This is true, but have you actually died in a dream?
Yep, a couple of times that I remember... but it's probably a bit of a giveaway after you fall/get crushed/blown up and see your own blood on the wall in front of you, that as the scene fades to black you spot the pixellation and think "Aha.. that's *Half-Life* blood!"
I was quite content the first time it happened (after waking up and checking the wall) to have a counterexample to the folklore, but I have to wonder, does the fact that I never died in a dream before playing FPS games mean that they are making us feel that death can be taken less seriously, even at a sub-conscious level?
Or maybe I *am* dead, and/. is the circles of Dante's Inferno - The Great Barrier being my comment threshold, with Hypocrites, Deceivers, Sowers of Discord and Falsifiers below.. Hmm.
Remember that netcraft is only showing you the front-side web server - it's less easy to tell what back-end database engine is in use. Just because Apache is the better choice for serving the pages doesn't mean that *nix systems are better for a particular application's database needs.
Of course, MS are saying [the sites] run Windows and Microsoft SQL Server which carefully doesn't avoid giving the impression that Windows is the front end as well. The 25 percent of web sites is also in keeping with netcraft's data (always tell a *half*-truth).
They don't mention that IIS's 25% is less than half of Apache's share, and *falling* while Apache is *rising*.
