it doesn't crash. i did this in my work PC and it works like a charm. no flash crap on my $HOME after i made .adobe read only and owned by a diferent user.

they're gonna need, if they want to give malaria shots to all mosquitos all there.

talk about a steady hand and LOTS of pacience.

as has been said before several times, oracle doesn't give a shit for "core technologies" or "coveted sun hardware". oracle wants money.

they were just after something that'd put them in the same position microsoft is in. the ability to extort money from a people using an ubiquitous product (office/exchange/windows in MS case, now java in oracle case).

so they just decided that it was time to pull a SCO on someone, and the biggest target, with lots invested in java was google.

the only difference is that oracle have much deeper pockets that SCO, and a healthy cash flow from other products to keep this going forever.

the thing is, the greatest winners in all this might end up being apple, microsoft, RIM and HP.

that would be WWI and austro-hungarian empire.

they were the ones who invaded serbia and started the whole thing, germany entered the war a month later, but since by the endo of it germany was the only one still fighting (russia surrendered after the bolshevik revolution, austro-hungarian empire and the ottoman (turkey) both broke appart and left the fight. so germany ended up being blamed by everything, even thought they didn't started it.

you mean, like the US have been doing for the last 60 years ? using economical and military power to force their agenda over everybody else ?

i'm glad that for once it's america getting the short end of the stick.

i lived my whole live seeing my country being humiliated an bullied by the US. now we're big enough, near self sufficient, the US owe us shitloads of money and our relationship with china is good enough we don't have to fear this kind of shit.

so here's my advice: stop being douchebags, and maybe this won't happen again. the american empire is crumbling just like many others before. you're in a fragile position, wich means you hate to be carefull of what you do or risk pissing of someone who can hurt you badly.

why would i waste my time creating a throw away account on reuters when i can just as easily install bugmenot extension on firefox and use a pre-made one from there ?

anonimity will always exist on the internet thanks to resourcefull geeks.

reading is not my problem. posting is.

the default browsers on both my old nokia N95 (symbian S60) and my current moto milestone (android 2.1) and opera mobile on the N95 (the full opera, not the mini version) have problems with text box being extremely slugish, and even when i managed to finish the text, after hitting "submit", the site times out and the post is lost.

pathetic.

demacracy is failling, that's why.

as the wealth gap between the poorest and the richer becomes wider, the developed nations are moving towards a form of corporate feudalism, where the general population becomes serfs of large conglomerates, subject to their rules, whose objective is to syphon money and power to themselfs, leaving to the people barelly enough to stay alive an feeding the corporate lords.

it's not paranoia or a conspiracy theory, is just how i see it, so feel free to disagree.

my rationale id that big money doesn't like democracy, they like money and power. mostly because power allows them to earn even more money, and both can become an adiction. a well organized democracy, with enlightened voters can be an obstacle to large corporations to earn more money and power, so they try to corrupt it. the result tends to a kind of feudalism.

to avoid this, it takes an educated people to vote for high taxation for large corporations and wealthy citizens. leave them enough to re-invest and create jobs, but not enough to corrupt the sytem. but i don't see this happing anytime soon anywhere in the world.

it wasn't because of firefox you couldn't post. it's mobile slashdot that suck donkey ass.

i tried at least 3 diferent mobile browsers and gave up.

on mobile space, slashdot is just like microsoft. they just don't get it

invest in brasilian markets.

some _conservative_ investments here are paying 1% (one percent) _A MONTH_

the downside is that interest in overdrafted account can be as high as 7% a month (yes, a month)

my android phone lasts 3 days if i don't run games or listen to music. also, i can recharge it on any USB port in the world, a compatible cable (micro USB) is dirt cheap.

and i only have to carry one device.

there was a time that i'd rather have an ipod for music a phone for calls, since most "feature phones" of the time had crappy music players with shitty sound.

today, most phone have comparable sound quality to ipods, have pretty decent screens that i can read well even in the sun, plus very decent mobile browsers. so my pockets are a little less crowded, if the price to pay for it is recharge more often, so be it.

what about "Document Office" ?

can anyone check if it's taken ?

android as a plataform allows the user (or the phone manufacturer) to install an alternative app store in place of android market, or even side-by-side with it.

if you download a trully stock android from the developer site, it barelly have a browser and phone app. google have _zero_ controll over android and over what apps goes with the handsets. that's the beauty of opensource.
