LOL. Imagine all cars become invisible.... And you want to reduce the accident rate? BAD GAG.

Why not an advertising campaign based on alcohol? after all it's not worse in terms of safety.....
With alchool based fuel car, you can drive and drink at the same time... BAD GAG.

Can't they be more imaginative?

Since January in France, a new ISP has appeared. It's called freemobile (mobile.free.fr)
For 15€99 per month ($21.15 at the time I'm writing) you have:
- unlimited voice call toward fixed phones in 40 countries (including local calls)
- unlimited calls toward cell phones in 4 countries (including USA)
- unlimited SMS and MMS
- unlimited internet access (full internet access) (web+mail+voip+peer2peer+newsgrops+ssh+*.*) (all protocols all tcp ports)
    (faire use is 3GB.average speed varies from 3 to 6Mb/s below faire-use. after it's 256Kb/s)
- no commitment with operator, you're free to leave at anytime without any fee.
- network is 3G/3G+ only with a free roaming using Orange ISP provider for uncovered areas and 2G
- network is 4G ready.

A BIG TSUNAMI in France mobile ISPs!

my iPhone and my wife xperia arc S have been Free-ed. It's awesome.

One word: optimization......

They didn't knew it was impossible, so they did it. - Mark Twain

It still lack a few but major components.

- akonadi_mapi_resource (exchange real native mapi connector not using https or webdave or imap or any other MS options that are always turned off in a big company. openXchange is NOT that one, openchange one is ok but seems dead)
- akonadi_iphone_calendar_resource
- akonadi_iphone_contact_resource
- akonadi_iphone_notes_resource
- akonadi_iphone_bookmark_reource
- ...

The mapi connection is a MUST have and is a big missing... Instread of that KDE choose to create an existing wheel: dolphin. WTF....
Before kde4 I was able to split my konqueror view in 4 panels: one html, one ftp, one local file, one phpmyadmin...
Now, this functionality is still present in konqueror, but no bug fix... all development goes to Dolphin.... can't understand why tyhey choose to split the data browser in 2 browser: one for network content and one for local content... Why diferenciate? What is the value added? why ignoring browsing profiles?

Anyway, KDE is progressing... but it's SLOOOOWWWWW .waiting for MAPI since ages. Most of my collegues moved to Windows7 jsut and only because of this lack.
If only I had time and C++ knowledge.
I had a look at the akonady dev tutorial it's great. really, unfortunately, my C++ is far far to weak to be able to produce something :-(

Where can I buy a "$5 worth electronic" that can display the view from the remote controled drone?

I have a file stamped:

This is the First evidence that mass equations have to be written using complex numbers just like the 3 other elementary forces.

Maybe ou total mass is equal to something like: gravitational mass + i * inertial mass (or something similar)

If we're speaking of such a thing, the impact would be awesome:

1) elementary forces unification becomes possible. (all 4 elementary forces are managed by equations, all using complex numbers) no more need for null imaginary part for inertia/gravitation
2) having an imaginary part means that i=-1, thus speed faster than light is possible.(maybe a mater state change and properties change), but it becomes possible.

I'm happy that apple refuse non-native apps on the iPhone whatever the reason.
Using flash or java to create apps is an easy way to make money without taking care of the device specs (thus without taking care of the consumer).
Just like games that are common to many platforms. they use lowest common denominator. The result is often crap. (not to speak about intermediate layers (flash machine, java machine) that drains batteries.

As for Adobe, their technology is crap. If they want to prove I'm wrong, then they just have to release the 64bits version of flash. More than 2 years of 64bits BETA version only available for linux... What a shame!
Today, most sold computers have 64bits processors but are shipped with 32bits windows because of the lack of 64bits flash. what a shame!

And at last: flash is used 99% if not 100% for Ads. So that is not a big loss for iPhone which has apps for the rare sites that use flash for non-Ads purpose.(more over those apps adds support for iphone sensors like GPS. a native meteo app that 1st look where you sit before querying the weather is far far better than a browser that runs a flash app that ask where do you live to deliver weather).

As for comparing iPhone OS and androïd regarding native apps (iPhone) and virtual machines apps (androïd:java and flash). Just compare 3D games. both platforms have comparable hardwares, but when it comes to iPhones games, the reactivity, the 3D rendering, the smoothness are lightyears ahead Androïd java/flash games (which, for easy of proting, represent the majority of games).

Flash MUST DISAPEAR. This technology is bloated.

After more than a year of 64bits beta testing under linux, there is still no 64 bit support available while all CPUs on the market ARE 64bits.
This technology is memory hungry, CPU power hungry. IT MUST DISAPEAR. There are far better standard today and I hope that Flash will never run on iPhone like devices.
My Core 2 Duo P8400 uses 100% CPU where a few (1 to 3) sites using flash are running. A SHAME.

IMHO, removing flash from the surface of the earth could lead to stop 10th of power plants.
As for the hover/click problem, the solution already exists on the iphone. for videos, 1st click brings a GUI, then you can play/stop/rewind.

for menus:
one click sends an hover (menu popup or drop down) second click on the same object sends a click. Second click on another object sends an hover. And so-one.
another solution (more compatible) could be to handle that just like the Amiga: press screen: hover, release screen click. (that would require to reduce the scroll areas on the screen borders (just like on modern laptops touch pads) There are plenty of solutions for replacing flash (like sylverlight, html5 and so that runs on 64bits BTW), but right now, the best one is to refuse flash.

Since a long time, I'm using http://faqts.com/ It's not exactly a reference site, but it answers tons of technical questions in many areas. It started with java and php, but now, the topics are realy wide, ranging from python, php, ... to education, religion, qrt and far more...
