To paraphrase a comment I read on this :

In the mining industry there is possibly two words for those rare metal deposit : ore, and dirt.

Ore is the state where you can collect it for less than the market price and make a benefit.

Dirt is the other one, aka 5 km deep underwater where the cost of recovering it TODAY would WAY exceed the possible ore value.

there was a huge problem wit the technology, every time you started running it looked like goddam 70s slow motion.
Also the noise was awful, sounded like an horrible little crescendo tune in a loop.

Too many defaults for the cost, we had to bin it 8p

if provided by business, most of the times you will get a blackberry, just like I did.
And it will all be managed by a disgruntled windows admin allowing you almost no possibility to install anything on it, or change any of the options.

So basically I have a dumbphone where I can also write emails, but blackberry big.

chimes a bell to anyone ?

thrust it, and you rape what you sow...8p

1/10th of ppl are subject to mental deficiencies of some sort
Because of that 1/10th, we cannot drink in the street, smoke cannabis, drive fast, etc...mostly because that small fringe of the population cannot cope with it.

So I propose we start discriminating on those 1/10th of the population and stop making the live of the 9/10th miserable. Wanna smoke dope ? have a psy check. Wanna drive fast ? have a "left lane permit". Wanna drink in the street ? "pass a binge check and prove you are not agressive when you drink.

You fail ? I still get to enjoy life....

It's an app on the iphone ok, but Filemaker Pro allowed me to do that in 1990 ...

Now an app that, when launched, uses te camera to automatically identify the bottles and gives me a cocktail list, now THAT would have been cool...

So next time your hear the question "But who will think about the children ?" you will have the answer...

You may not have noticed, but my HTTP request encapsuled a link to my EPLA (End-Provider Licence Agreement) that resides on my HDD under c: (or /home/$user, for you linux geeks)

This EPLA describes the rules governing the sending of your IP packets to MY computer and gives a formula to account for eyeball time allowed to your packets and the just compensation I should receive for your use of eyeball and brain time (standard time-sharing agreement).

It grants you a non exclusive right to my eyeballs, and excludes any right you might think you have to present me with advertisement without proper compensation for my eyeball/brain time.

To make it simple there is a mandatory 50/50 share for any advertisement revenue derived from my eyeball time, plus a one-off, annual fee of 5000$ for non exclusive access to my eyeball.

Another 5000$ fee is mandatory for the implementation and maintenance of the eyeball-to-brain connection, and has to be paid in full before sending me any IP packets and / or advertising.

We are currently gathering IPs and computer info on persistent intruders who refuse to buy subscription to my eyeball and eyeball-brain connection, and are engaging in a theft of eyeball and brain services. We have engaged an attorney who will be doing a bulk subpoena demand on each ISP involved,..

If you want to stop the legal proceeding, please kindly forward your money to me.
