what will you make the pusher plate out of?

> Yeah, anything above $279 would be a huge disappointment.

how so?

quadruple irony points to the US getting up on their high horse about this after subverting their own companies to institute mass surveillance of the world's Internet users: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A et al.

>It's a disaster of the first water. hahahahaha

wow why hasn't anyone tried this business model yet!11

no

> Pylons and Pyramid aren't that great.

interesting! what don't you like about Pyramid? you're aware it is not a continuation of the Pylons codebase, right?

people use the twitter website?

> Apple has hidden APIs that nobody is allowed to use to compete with Apple's software

which APIs do they not let others use (aside from the icon updating thing Calendar uses, siri, and weather/stocks)?

how much anecdata do you demand?

or you can just spend those two beers on prgrmr, or 3 beers at linode? for tech people in the West, the amount of money is so small, why would you bother going with the absolute bottom of the market?

er no, either. ITYM "according to an alleged discussion with a Linode employee".

Definitely not the case in Australia (thought as far as I know all carriers unlock for free/small fee). Locking at all is just a dick move - the telco already made you sign a contract, if you want to switch carriers, they still get their money.

> Do their unlocked phones really work on non-approved carriers?

yes, obviously. 'unlocked' = 'works on any carrier with which the technology (ie GSM/UMTS, works on the right bands) is compatible'. note that since tmobile almost exclusively uses an unsupported-by-Apple band for 3G (1700MHz), you're getting EDGE at best.

moral of the story: if you're going to give money to a company that uses DRM, make sure the DRM is pwnable, and make pwning your own purchases a habit.

if nothing else, most landlords have loans so you're subsidising their loan (so paying at least as much as you would if you had the loan).

the story is "they asked for it and were allocated it under the allocation rules at the time". pre-CIDR, you could get a class A, B or C (mostly), and a class-B isn't /that/ many IPs for a large and growing company when effectively no one else used the Internet at all.

they almost always bother to have a go at $saturated_market, since they have enough of a thought-gravity-well to get /some/ people using it
