Huh? Roaminng charges are hardly going anywhere. And that would be in July 1st… And countries have opposed the measure.

Right. So instead of working in creating a user system, you integrate your core to another system. Or you could, well, let's say, use a library or framework and spare you the work of integration too!

Depends on what you're looking at. If it's public-facing, then, yes, but only because demand at those times is very low. Otherwise, for office work, lunch breaks are short. European style.

Also, as easy as PHP to deploy. That's a big matter. The "save and reload" workflow, as said in the slides, is really a big point.

What really killed BBRY was not providing any added value. And actually destroying any added value that they had over competitors (I made another comment about that in another thread — I don't want to get too annoying). The "BYOD&

That. Very much that. Plus, global roaming. It's kinda sad nobody ever thinks about it… BlackBerry was able to provide worldwide flatrate roaming (well, they could, but it was up to each carrier to sell it as a product or bill each use

I've been travelling for a number of years (when a MB in Europe was around 10€), inside and outside Europe, and never ever had this happen, or heard about this happening. Probably something intentionally made by your operator — but in

by adrinavarro 13y ago
Huh? Then there's something wrong with your operator. Roaming charges are for the "international" segment: from home, to the country you are, and from the country you are to home. That's why you pay extra to make calls,

Combini stores, vending machines everywhere… And that goddamn Suica! Somehow they can afford having a convenience store (combini) open 24h each 350 yards and at each side of the street. Economy at an amazing scale.

Plotting (can't be all straight), air density (as mentioned by jessridel). Current high speed trains go at 180-200 mph due to sharply increased consumption above those speeds, even though they could go a lot faster in current setups. I

Rampant xenowhat? Yes. It's very different to what you get, for example, in Australia. Or most parts of Europe. Yes, you'll probably be a gaijin forever, even if you get naturalized (and renounce to your other nationality). But

Censorship, they already explained. They can do country-specific censorship (like: in China, the govt asks for something offensive there to be removed) but leave it accessible from everywhere else. Also, they can inform people in those coun

They likely mean sending an authorization to your files instead of the actual files. Which is very, very silly as a claim.

It isn't, in some way. PowerPoint let's you "mask" images. That is, bundle the entire image in the PPT but crop and zoom it. Of course, whoever did that slide zoomed into the US. It isn't a purpose-made image, but r

I believe it is interesting, because accidents such as this one imply a thorough investigation. That is: figure out what went wrong, why and how, and how it can be avoided in the future (and, unlike some people believe, it's never abou

I have my doubts. It never stated when it sent the passwords. Maybe it hasn't the UI overlay, but the social apps seem to be closely related to MOTOBLUR.

This seems related to Motorola's MOTOBLUR system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoblur In all fairness, it seems that the implementation uses a middle server (pretty common in big companies where good engineering

It'd be stupid not to have those stored somewhere else safe and/or encrypted.

Competes with the B787. Doesn't really replace much. I'd say the A330, as it's a twin, and wide-body. In fact, it's called 'XWB', standing for 'extra wide body'. Better fuel consumption and better cab

Another alternative is hubiC. It's run by OVH, perhaps one of the most "techno-geek" companies in Europe that you can find… I don't see them feeding content to governments without any reason. In fact, they opened a DC in

The keyword for me here is "direct". If PRISM is indeed a "prism", that is, a network-level dump, duplicate RAW of data, then there is no direct access involved.

Rather, I'm trying to hold onto the idea that my mail is not directly piped, entirely, into a government tracking and storage system. No questions asked, no filters: just everything. Which is what is probably happening right now.

Now. Exactly which data is exposed for each provider? I'm thinking mostly about Gmail. Because virtually everyone now is using it… The whole content of any communications? Just origin/dest? This is becoming scary.

I just hope they're not going to get rid of caching, but instead, implement a time server and sync through JS, or something alike.

I don't care too much about video chat, YouTube, etc, etc… Just about the plain old XMPP/Jabber user-to-user that was the base for Google Talk and that has been around for many years. The ability to talk with users from different providers.

Sadly, Microsoft Outlook Web Access isn't an option — if you're looking for self hosted services, which you should, having seen what's happening now. The webmail interface is just ugly and hard to use when handling lots of emails each day (

Well, that makes around 1200 EUR. So, that's even better than the "common" (not avg) monthly wage in many places in Europe. Indeed, cost of living in Singapore must be over the roof…
