Yes, my Nokia 8850 had no internal storage and therefore i could only hold 10 messages on the SIM. The later SIM's had more memory and could store 20 messages! Seems strange having a phone that even stores them individually and doesn't grou

Mine is defo new enough that it supports that! Anyone know if you need a new sim card to support 4G services?

Really, they give you a new sim on upgrade? I can understand this if you are upgrading TO an iPhone since you need a micro SIM, but rather pointless otherwise. I think I've had the same SIM card for about 6-7 years now!

Ahhh, it was the old analogue phones I was thinking of. I never had one, my brother did though. I remember the big sim card and the perforated ones too :)

Yes, totally agree with this. There is a comment further down here that someone says they swap out their SIM into an old dumB phone when out biking since if they fall the phone is less likely break. I've had the screen crack on a phone when

In the UK now (possibly the EU) at the end of your contract (normally 18-24 months) the carrier has to unlock your phone now, my brother just came to the end of his contract and had his iPhone unlocked for free.

Especially give the sheer number of apps out there and reports of apps doing more than they should, as well as users blindly installing apps with higher permissions than they actually require. This would get exploited very quickly no doubt.

This and Panmans comments were my first thought when I read that piece. I like the SIM card. When I went backpacking round the world I was able to pick up a pay as you go SIM card from a local store in any country, load it with credit and p

I'm probably the same as you. I think Photoshop 6 has enough of the features I require (bar the new content aware stuff). I would be great to be able to switch off a whole bunch of the features and filters and god-knows-what-else-it-loads-a

That's funny you should say that, I initially started out using Fireworks when I started as an intern as a web developers. This was back in 2000, and designs were all table based, so Fireworks was great for splicing into the required segmen

One of the best feature of CS5 is the content aware fill, I very rarely use Photoshop these days, but that feature made it so so so easy to clean up some images that needed some stuff removed from them without having to resort to a very man

Haha, fair enough, think I just didn't get the gist of what you were trying to say! It's a very nice sentiment indeed, and think it adds much more goodwill than the value of the book.

If something as simple as a variable scares you then I am guessing you have no hope in hell with dealing with a bit of jQuery, let alone Javascript. Welcome to the real world. It's time to upskill. Side note: Developers may be inferior desi

Yes, I understand that, but plasticsyntax says he is not obliged to return the item. Sure he is obliged to return the item if he placed the order by mistake, and the duplicate is sent not due to an error on the part of O'Reilly . I und

Not sure I quite understood his rant either, except perhaps he probably has no idea how a browser should behave or be able to accomplish certain aspects of development without it... Progressive enhancement is not difficult. Just build your

Unfortunately he didn't know that and being from the UK did not think he would have any issues with immigration in any country in the world, least of all the US! I thought transit was different from entering a country for a stay, for exampl

How is this preventing mail fraud if the OP says he inadvertently placed two order himself, not due to any fault of O'Reilly?

They didn't ask me this face to face, they asked me to write it down after they had told me to sit down. If this was the case, I would have just copied it from my documents... yes, they had taken my passport, but I would have a photocopy in

It's a well written article, good to see on a site like nytimes. I have to also agree with your statement. I have been to the states 3 times, first in 2006 where I flew into JFK and was "randomly selected" (woooo, I won!) and then detained

Yes, this is pretty much it. I think it's more a habits thing than anything and I will have to force myself (at some point) to jump ship completely unless I see some improvement from FF. I understand Firebug, I just need to be able to fully

by kamjam 15y ago
Same here, but I still can't get away with NOT using Firefox but only due to Firebug. I just can't get to grips with chrome's dev tools, but it may be a habit thing. And Firebug for Chrome is just "Lite" really.

It is sad indeed, especially since it was proper factual information properly researched by people paid to do so. But in reality, I, like most people, rarely pick up an encyclopaedia. It's easier when having an argument at the pub to just p

How is being able to personalise a web page innovative? It's just basic common sense. You've been able to "personalise" the desktop on your computer for decades. How does moving things to the web suddenly make it innovative. It's just like

You say this now, but unless you have crystal ball you can't look into the future. I've worked in many places where something is designed, shelved, resurrected several months later, design tweeked, shelved, budget approved, resurrected... A

I'll do my work with layers like "Layer 0 copy copy" as long as they're grouped. That's shocking. That's like me as a developer naming my variables var1, var2, var3 etc. I'll get shot if I did that and would rightly do the same to anyone

You'd think that, but I've met some very good designers that can work that full stack. The world is changing and people need to upskill or get left behind. HTML/CSS is not that difficult. Even jQuery is pretty simple. Good jQuery is hard. G
