About 8 years ago when I was working in the mobile industry in the US (I now am working the same industry in Australia) there was talk of a gray and black list clearing house that operators could 'subscribe' to, to allow banning of stolen phones. Operator dependent, but an industry driven clearing house.
Not sure if it actually happened though...
The recently released on DVD animated "haunted house"
Great movie...loved it.
hmmm.
Where would you stick the USIM?
um....Vista sucks?
(drove me to by my first iMAC, and I ain't going' back!)
PCPitstop great for those in North America, but consistently gives me poor internet UL/DL and ping results (as you'd expect, testing from Australia)
[Inhofe slams DiCaprio and Laurie David for scaring kids in two-hour Senate speech debunking climate fears
click here
...
"Hollywood activist Leonardo DiCaprio decided to toss objective scientific truth out the window in his new scarefest "The 11th Hour." DiCaprio refused to interview any scientists who disagreed with his dire vision of the future of the Earth."
and
Children are now the number one target of the global warming fear campaign. DiCaprio announced his goal was to recruit young eco-activists to the cause.
"We need to get kids young," DiCaprio said in a September 20 interview with USA Weekend.
and
"The authors [David and Gordon] present unsuspecting children with an altered temperature and CO2 graph that reverses the relationship found in the scientific literature. The manipulation is critical because David's central premise posits that CO2 drives temperature, yet the peer-reviewed literature is unanimous that CO2 changes have historically followed temperature changes."
David has now been forced to publicly admit this significant scientific error in her book.
Sleazebags...
Not interested...
Dear customer,
We do not currently have plans to provide a Mac compatible version of the full TVTonic client.
Sincerely,
OT: HSDPA (3G speeds) here I'm getting around 3Mbps down/384k up. As fast as my ADSL
I tihnk iPhone is GPRS only -- max about 44 kbps, depending on trafficAnyway. Enough OT stuff.
My honest thoughts on TVTONIC news is kinda so what -- I've got regularly updated weather info on my phone. For about 60 cities.
QOT, what kind of speeds are being delivered by EVDO these days?
If it was me (and it's not, but I like reading your posts because of Jessica) I would be looking at a different provider. I'm in Australia and there's three or four others I can choose from. I'm sure there's at least half a dozen where you are. That kind of response whould be escalated to his manager.
Connect one of the computers directly to the comcast box and do your speed test. that will eliminate any router effects (and I'd seriously doubt that you will find a difference)
Comcast should send a tech out to see what's wrong with your line. Is it through cable or 'phone line' (i,e., ADSL)
You're paying for 4Mbps (4000kbps) and you're getting 725 kbps. (20% of advertised)
I'd complain about that if I were you...
So, Apple-oids, as a newbie to the world of MAC, I'm unsure how to deal with the new OS.
In Wintel world, I'd recommend waiting for SP2 (and my recent Vista 'fun' supports that). What's the board recommendation for Leopard? Get now or wait for a bit?
Thanks for posting this...I like the web site interface...
Recently upgraded to ADSL2 -- very happy

but he sounds so sincere!
Don't know if this has been posted yet (haven't followed the board (bored) for awhile...)

Inaccuracies in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth
The inaccuracies are:
o The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
o The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
o The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
o The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
o The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.
o The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
o The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
o The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.
o The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.
o The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
o The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
Thanks for all the replies...I'll get iM6 and give it a shot.
Cheers,
JUST bought the iMac two weeks ago -- came with iMovie 7
Functionality doesn't extend much beyond trimming clips and adding background music
iMovie is not a half bad video editing tool, but very limited in it's functionality (minimal video effects).
Any suggestions for good video editing/publishing tool?
(pre-iMac days I used Pinnacle Studio)
you have no credibility, no grasp of the technology, and no grasp of the industry. Why should we read what you write?

there is a powerful move from the computer security industry to stop TPM based enterprise security standard.
There is?
Can you provide some references?
If true, that would concern me -- not as an investor, but as a user of systems that desperately need upgrading in the security department.
England through....
(gasp -- for those that follow rugby. I'm a football guy, myself)
Now, now...
Scotland may beat Argentina
What am I talking about?
You're right...all four from the Southern hemisphere...
Eagerly anticipating the Australia England game tonight...
Musta been some hot, jammin tunes on that Nano

even if Q3 and Q4 revs are half, the $ at EOY would be 3.5mill, not 0
In Australia, it's school holiday this week and next, and I've taken a couple of weeks off work to chill with the kids.
Spent a few very good hours at Whale Beach (no whales) today where the waves were "awesome" (so says the 12 year old) and the eye-candy, well, sweet...
Cheers
Gun shy, I guess, and an unfortunate side effect of being gun shy is that I won't believe these future revenues until they are actual reported revenues.
I will almost certainly miss the bottom, or near bottom of the rocket-like surge in share price, but I can live with that.
Alea, The evidence for hope is absolutely screaming. As it has been in the past.
The only only evidence I'm interested in now has multiple commas in the revenues section of a 10Q.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I suspect an over-riding weariness with the slog. So very many events that should have moved the price haven't.
I'm still watching, but I am reluctant to put very much on the table until I see revenues exceeding expenses. Which means I really only have to watch once every three months.
Cheers Uncle Vern. If you're ever in Oz, let me know.

OT Sagan...and Cosmos
And my favourite of all time quotes is from that show
"In order to bake an apple pie from scratch you must first create the universe"
You spelled his name incorrectly.
It's Ahmanutjob
I once worked with a guy in Taiwan who had a camera fetish/obsession (probably still does).
He'd spend an obscene amount of money on a new piece of equipment, hide on the top shelf of the closet for a couple of months.
That way, when his wife asked "Is that new?" when he finally pulled it off the shelf he could honestly say, "No, sweetie...I've had it for a couple of months now."
But, back to iMac stuff. I'm sold. Fully and totally converted.
...and here's my pic for the day (best viewed on 24" iMac)
vista drove me to apple.
Bought a laptop w/ Vista for my wife...3 months later (three hellish months later) the new desktop in the den for the kids is an iMac (typing on it now -- two days old and still real purty -- and lightning fast)
let's just say 2 decades ago and leave it at that...
I also just received mine today (2.4G though).
My first Mac (since the IIc in '85, that is). Vista drove me to this. Wish it had happened years ago.
Wait...I just read your post again. You ordered an iMac with XP?
Add one...Castle Hill Mall, Sydney, Australia
My iMac arrives on Thursday. I've informed the offic eI may be ill on Friday...
