Comment Re:t-mobile (Score 2) 288

Wow... I'm actually in the boondocks of South Australia. Population is 1,500, the nearest major city is a population of 15,000.

I can see two shiny 3G towers from my bedroom window. (Telstra and OpenNetwork (Optus/Vodafone etc))

If mobile carriers there don't think that a city with 500k population doesn't warrant a tower or two, then I'm afraid there's no hope for your telco industry.

Came to put in an Atari post, glad to see someone else had already done it.

GEM on the ST was great - MultiTOS/MiNT on the Falcon 030 was even better. All during times that a PC that cost 6 times as much couldn't touch it.


This is an apt poll for me. I had a major case of nostalgia in the leadup to my birthday and just bought a Falcon 030 on eBay. I was one of the lucky ones to get one originally (apparently the first one in Oz), but stupidly got rid of it in order to finance my first x86 machine when it was obvious that the Atari platform was dead.

As someone already said, that was a default configuration. They could be upgraded to 4Mb with the integrated MMU.

3rd party upgrades that replaced the MMU were able to get 14Mb of RAM, just like the Falcon 030.

Except in the case of "free will."

For the sake of argument, let's assume that there is such a thing as a soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny. If someone else prays to change any outcome for someone else's soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny without their permission or consent, no matter how good the intentions, they are infringing on that other person's free will to do whatever they want with their own soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny.

Exactly. Regardless of whether Koh was right to disallow Samsung's attempt to use the F700 in evidence, Apple introducing it is a textbook case of "opening the door."

Otherwise Apple is making an accusation ('See? The F700 is a copy!') and Samsung isn't allowed to mention the F700 in defending themselves. It's akin to saying "John Doe fucks pigs" and then disallowing John Doe to use the word "pig" and thus defend himself by saying he'd never seen a pig before, let alone fucked one.


I can understand Apple being upset at opening the door, but that's the incompetence of their lawyer, not Samsung's fault.
