I don't use them so I'm not sure about the apps. I do have friends that use them all the time and none of them use them for work. In fact at my office Iphone's and Android phones outnumber the Blackberry's. I was the odd one out with a WinMo phone(upgrading to an android). I don't doubt that the largest use for blackberry's is in the workplace but I'm just wondering how much that really matters. If you start using something in the workplace quite often you end up using it at home as well because you know how to use it and it's familiar.
1 phone can have more than 1 number directing to it. but regardless he can still have his 4 views just move emails for one client to one folder and for another to a different folder and so on and he can have his "views" while still using server side rules which are more robust and reliable. If a phone dies it's easier to view the emails you need on another phone by browsing to that folder.
That's not really changing it. That's cutting $1 off the price and a day off the rental and changing the wording. If it's $1 a day for a min of 4 days than it's a 4 day rental for $4 dollars. It used to be $5 for 5 days.
I don't think that will happen as the 360 is a more mature gaming system and alot existing franchise's will not change just to have that label. At least I hope so. I could see some cool things with it though, a revival of boardgames on the 360 would be great. I would love to play something like axis and allies (the boardgame not the computer games) on the screen with a buddy, I think that would be very cool.
I'm with you on that, I don't like Apple or their products for the most part, but I'm all for them limiting flash if they want to on their phones. I know it pisses a lot of people off but your absolutly right on with your analogy. They aren't being anti-competetive at all even though people seem to want to believe that. If I had the mod points +1 to you. People these days seem to believe that whatever they want is what should happen, they don't get that just cause they want it doesn't mean companies have to give it to you. Should they? depends on how big the market is, but they don't HAVE to.
I disagree I think the major problem we are suffering is that we aren't securing the machines from the get go. The environment is a kludge, but if you don't let everyone run as an administrator all the time, teach them not to click yes blindly to every pop-up box without reading it, teach them not to fall for every phishing attempt under the sun then you don't have to worry nearly so much. Not saying it would be impossible to crack a system, just that you don't have to worry nearly as much. I run a network and am both network and systems admin and I haven't had a virus or spyware incident (at least that i know of;) hehe) in 4 years, the one I did have at that time was contained to only one machine and really wasn't much of an incident. But I run a tight ship security wise, though most of the users don't know it.
I agree. The only thing is, no one is forcing you to use Ubuntu. If you don't want this, use a different distro, fork it yourself. I understand why alot of people are having an issue with this but Ubuntu has always been about the common use person. It's not the linux distro of the hardcore OSS users, nor is it for those that want to hack up their system. It's the linux distro that's hoping to make it onto the mass market and doing something like this will help it to do just that.
I don't but I do quarantine any attachements that are archive's or executables and require them to get in touch with our helpdesk to download them. We have the ability (depending on who you get on the helpdesk they may have to go to a more senior tech) to view and scan the files to make sure they are business appropriate and virii free.
I hate to say it but 4-5 years isn't that old. Some of us can make use of device's for far longer than that. I still have a walkman, a discman, and some no-name brand MP3 player that's only a couple hundred meg from years ago.
If that's the issue, install FF on your corp comp's and setup a group policy that tells your IE6 browsers to use a proxy that forbids any access to the outside world.
What games have you been buying? I would agree if you said they USED to include" artwork, keyboard/controller commands, they give alot of backstory" now it's pretty much all the copyright and publisher info, with a couple pages if your lucky of keyboard/controller commands. Most manuals I get with my games are maybe 5-10 pages, and 4-6 pages of that is publisher info, credits, and copyright notifications.
um.....did you think that out or is this a *whoosh* moment? If you are flying west and then east then your not really going to get very far, or if the flight times are different it's going to take you a hell of a long time, especially at 70kph.
This was my thoughts too. I was pretty sure that they couldn't do anything to the site as it's not hosted in the USA. IANAL so I could be quite wrong on that though.
Of course it is, but the parent post was saying that he has to get off his soap box, you know the ones that all of us that can't shell out $250 extra for a service we are already paying for are on. I mean god forbid that when you pay for a service and there is a dead zone in an area that you spend most of your time in they couldn't provide those extenders for the time of your contract.
what do you consider a "real relationship"? I have a number of people I have as pen pals, would you consider them "real relationships"? I also have a number of people I have met online in different forums, slashdot(both of which I consider "social networking"), facebook, etc. Would those be considered "real relationships"?
Your saying your doing work for a federal-work study program. Are you doing anything with anything that is considered sensitive information? If so I think there is a justified need for it, if not, seems alittle overkill though. Have you asked why this requirement is being made? From the way you worded the question it seems like you have been doing this for a bit and this new directive just came down. Did anything change in the nature of what your doing?
Holding the [alt] key and right clicking is a far better way of doing it. I'm sure your used to just pressing enter, but what if you needed to change more than one setting, you would run into more issues in windows than you would in Ubuntu as you would be able to move the screen to see and select those options. It's just a matter of training, you had to learn that hitting the enter button would do that(yes it seems intuitive now but was not always the case).
Someones trying out their horrible AI to see if it will pass the turing test? You just failed by the way as you asked why "someone" would write that.:P
Then there's the other little problem: the whole PURPOSE of the game is to spend some time in it. If you're looking at the time you spend as a "cost" - then honestly, what the hell are you playing for in the first place? If you don't enjoy it, don't play. Seems like a waste to be dumping money into a game to boost stats and then sitting back enjoying the fact that you're paying a company for the privilege of not having to play their game. I can avoid playing a game for free if I want;).
Well done, Sir/Madam, well done!
Okay now that you gutted my argument fairly well, let me respond as best as I'm able. First I wasn't actually meaning that I don't want to play the game. I meant that I don't like having to spend hours upon hours grinding the SAME content to get that extra special super loot. I play games (especially MMO's) so that I can run my own little narrative in my head, or possibly with friends if we can find a game we all enjoy. That little narrative gets derailed quite quickly when you have to spend hours killing the same guy so you can get that item you really want and he only drops once every six hours(I'm just making up numbers here but you get the idea). I would much rather fight and kill said boss and then if he doesn't drop the super loot I can buy it from the micro-transaction store and continue my narrative pretending he did indeed drop the item.
As to your second point(well actually first as the second one I answered first:) Blizzard and CCP do indeed care if I spend 5 hours or 5 minutes in a game as the more time I spend in game the better for them as it mean's I'm enjoying the game and likely to renew my subscription, I do know what your saying in that it doesn't effect them directly, I also understand the potential downside to micro-transaction games, but me personnaly I wouldn't continue playing a game if they tried to pull the scenario you desccribed. It's one of the difficult parts of the f2p+micro-transaction type games, is making it fun enough that you hook people into wanting to buy the pieces.

I don't use them so I'm not sure about the apps. I do have friends that use them all the time and none of them use them for work.

If you start using something in the workplace quite often you end up using it at home as well because you know how to use it and it's familiar.
Are you just disregarding Blackberry's for some reason?

Why is this flamebait? he was answering a question that was asked above him, and I happen to agree with quite a few of those.
I pirated quite successfully in Eve and never got podded. Just be aware of what's going on and you'll be fine.
uh, why not just use columns? split the page down the middle and one side is anti the other side is pro. no one get's top billing that way.
I don't think that will happen as the 360 is a more mature gaming system and alot existing franchise's will not change just to have that label. At least I hope so.

I could understand that but the stated goal of the people doing this was to travel around the world.

you already were "officially a tax cheating criminal if you choose to wander off alone" Now there is just one more thing your not paying.
