Try my city for access points! Its population is about 150,000, yet...
http://www.panoulu.net/mappings/apmap.php
Plus, it's free. All I have to do is take my (famous) asus eee 701 onto the balcony, and I'm on! (Pisser having to sweep the snow off the keyboard every minute or so, but that's a minor inconvenience)
I live about a kilometre south of Toppila, so access is a doddle!
I was on a London - Helsinki flight. somehow, my electric razor kicked in (Mid-flight??) and when I collected it from the conveyor, the looks of the other passengers when they heard the noise was priceless.
...is the initials on all the drain covers on my way home from the shop whilst buying my tin of breakfast tramp-juice (Actually, the initials are the same the way to town, but inverted)..
"...That half inch might be just the difference..."
Yeah. Hear that on birthdays and at Christmas from Girlie.
I was on an AA flight -JFK-DFW once. I had to ask the flight attendant - she was very impolite - if she could help me with my seatbelt. (Think she thought I was gettting 'fresh') She directed me to my seat, then saw the problem. Some extremely obese woman was occupying her seat with one 'cheek' of her ass, my seat with the other. Because there were a load of fatties on board, they had to shuffle them like a pack of cards so I could get a seat (full flight, no spare seats)
You should search for the tests on these things! I've seen (in stress-testing videos ) that they can make the thing (even a 747 'Jumbo') flap like a seagull. Wouldn't like to be the poor sod at the front...
Unfortunately, it now infuriates me more. Background themes are 'Midnight something-or-other' (Basically, black-ish text on a black-ish background. Even my missus' icon is now white, unlike the Shrek-green that had a more realistic likeness).
Watching BBC's coverage of Elop's London presentation spasm live made me wonder if we've been a bit premature in our judgements. Time will tell...
Nokia needs to get to the point of Hoover. "I'm gonna hoover the carpet". I'd love to hear "I'll Nokia you later".
With Elop's strange decisions, (Windows on a phone, for Chrissake!) and not letting the N9 into UK or the massive American market, I think the cheese has slid off his cracker.
Having worked for Nokia for 12 years, and knowing the "Grunt/determination" (Sisu) of the Finns, I'm still gobsmacked that Jorma Ollilla (ex. CEO) sat back and allowed this to happen. He (Ollilla) directed Nokia to the best, greatest mobile phone company the world has seen so far. Remember, Nokia made the first ever GSM call.
Shareholders need to get rid of Wallop, minimise the MS deal (i.e., produce A Win-phone), then sort out their relationship with Accenture (Symbian) and Intel (Meego).
That's what I'd do if I was in charge. Which I'd like to be.
"Shares in the firm rallied more than 10 per cent to €4.9, following Nokia's Q3 announcement, its best stock exchange performance in month"
Dammit, I was hoping they were going to tumble. Then'I'd have bought a few thousand €'s of them.
They were less than €4 a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, and what does this mean, from Elop "...we look forward to bringing the experience to consumers in select countries..."
"Select"?? Anyone explain? I think it's an 'Americanism' for "We will judge who gets it, and who doesn't"
(Like 'garnish' in the world means the opposite to the US - in Europe, it means something nice added to a plate for decoration. In US, it means money taken from your pay)
Nah, I'd have to pay the contract on my N8 off, then take a new contract (24 months) for the N9. Economic suicide. Played with the thing again today.
<wuss_mode>Pity, it's sooo beautiful</wuss_mode>
It's one to want. Believe me, it's lovely. You'd slaver over it. Nokia finally got it right. If they'd have released it 8 months ago, Steven Wallop wouldn't be necessary.
Hey, IDEA!! (Eureka moment!) Girlie needs a Christmas present!! She can have my re-boxed N8, and I get the wuss-phone! Yaaay!
(El. Reg - if you call the iPhone a Jesus phone, can we call the N9 a "Wuss Phone")
Well, Saturday I played with a Nokia N9 (in an Elisa shop)
I can tell you, it's light, thin, fast, intuitive. I didn't have to switch the lingo from Finnish to English to know exactly what to do. Did I say it's thin? Remarkably so.
It's simply fuc*king beautiful. Maybe the best Nokia's ever produced.
Fitting for a swan-song.
But at an eye-watering €599 for the 16Gig version, to the €699 64Gig jobbie, for an unemployed bloke with limited savings, I'd want serious discount if I goto the dealer (Where I got my N8-00 from) to swap.
But, man, it was awesome. The only axe I have to grind is the one I wanna plant in Elop's skull..
Motorola's got to play a lot of 'catch-up' to beat this mother!.
Doing my sums, and if the dealer and I can make a deal, I'll have one tomorrow. Shop opens at 10:00 am.
Firstly, my winter jacket can comfortably take my ASUS 701 in a side-pocket. Charger, modem and mouse in the other. Almost always carry them about with me.
My Autumn Barbour can take my IBM T30 in the rear 'poachers pocket'. Dropping the rabbits off, and the shotgun cartridges, natch.
(I bag the ASUS with a plastic shopping bag when it's snowing, of course...)
The cans I got with my Nokia N8 simply fell out of my lug-holes - the plastic bits were too big. Fortunately, I discovered that the soft plastic bits from a Creative Max buds would replace them, and fit perfectly.
However, a friend of mine let me try his Bose (or were they Koss?) over-ear cans from his MP3 player, and all was perfect! Best ever! Excellent sound.
Now, I need to find some that will let me also speak. When you're riding a bike in the city, the ability to 'flick' your head so the things slide off an ear without taking my hands off the handlebars is useful for hearing that bus coming....
At least they've got rid of that slab rear window.
When they first came out, ex-Girlie and I tried one. It was October. In Finland, October is called 'Lokakuu', which equates approximately to 'muck-month'. As now, it's raining most days, mud washed off the streets onto the road. Apt name.
In short, within a few kilometres, we couldn't see out of the back window.
We took it straight back to the dealers, and bought a VW Bora instead.
Agreed. I practiced both of these on Microlight (weight.shift types) and they're relatively easy to recover from. Indeed, one glider I took up, when stalled would just 'porpoise' Nose drop, pick up speed, start flying again, even with the stick back. You'd lose height, but not that much.
Weather's the most likely, to catch an experienced pilot. I remember in a microlight on a long final approach, safe height (300'), safe speed(About 50kt.), Suddenly hit this hole in the air. Almost instantly I was at 50', well short of the runway. Just power up again. No bother. If there'd been trees in the way, a totally different story...
Jonathan Pryce has a very similar jaw shape, but maybe now too old-looking. As a previous poster remarked, may need 2 actors. One from the 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' days, (Maybe Johnny Depp?) and Pryce for the later stuff.
Did he wear his underpants on the outside of his costume?
Well, meaningful intentions (Good Samaritan and all that), but it does sound ill-advised. However, the plods would probably have to finish their doughnuts first before responding...

No self-respecting theif's gonna be seen dead with THAT!
In my view...
It'd be in his interests to face trial in Sweden.
Firstly, looking at what I've read, I think (IMHO) he'd be found innocent.
Secondly, I reckon that would scupper the US prostituted protestations.
But, of course, I am obviously not a lawyer, as I only have €35 in my bank account. (Twenty cans of tramp-juice till dole-day next week)

I read this book on a flight to cyprus. Woman next to me, when she read the cover was naturally apprehensive.
He's Bubba's li'l puppy now..
I thought Id heard 'em all. Must be hard to keep a straight face sometimes, if you're a judge...

Nothing.

That's blatant enough.

Upgraded it a week or so back.

It's an N9
Just with an added button, and a different OS.

Dammit, I just shaved.
Python is what you need.
Nope.
For the poor sod who downvoted the irony above, I'd suggest a year in Guatanmo, being forced to watch Monty Python at high volume...
We need a visionary.
There aren't many in the world. Elop's not one.

This is a bit like watching Col. Gadaffi being hunted down like a dog, and inevitably and predictably destroyed.
There's not much difference in the end result.

SMLC
Serving Mobile Location Centre. Took 2 months to learn it. Based on Linux.
When I trained this to AT&T/Cingular in Seattle, it was designed to save lives.
It could get you to about 50 metres. Maybe less.
Never thought it'd be used for this.
At least they've got rid of that slab rear window.

Cheif Policy Officer?? My 15-year old would do a better job, for a lot less money.

"( C is a poster child) for why it's essential to keep those people who know a thing can't be done from bothering the people who are doing it."
OK, if not Hugh Laurie,,
Jonathan Pryce has a very similar jaw shape, but maybe now too old-looking. As a previous poster remarked, may need 2 actors. One from the 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' days, (Maybe Johnny Depp?) and Pryce for the later stuff.
Sad day - sad week.

Anyone remember the Bruce Lee film, shot after/during when he died?
A villain came in to the dressing room and gave a karate kick.
Actor almost fell from behind the cardboard cutout.
Comical, if hewasn't one of my faveourite performers in the 70's.
Did he wear his underpants on the outside of his costume?
Well, meaningful intentions (Good Samaritan and all that), but it does sound ill-advised. However, the plods would probably have to finish their doughnuts first before responding...
Hugh Laurie would be my choice.
Quite a likeness. Plus, the attitude of the character he has learned in his rôle in "House" ...
