What is the procedure for installing SOFTWARE THAT RUNS on an iPhone? Does
itunes install software on it, now?
Not a slam. I'm interested because I know someone who asked me and I hate
not knowing.

Hell, for this much money it should have had built in Bozos.
I use a little FM transmitter plugged into the STANDARD mini phone plug
on the Nokia N800 to make it broadcast to my FM in the car. I can stream
internet radio and hear Navicore's driving instructions, simultaneously.
I wish it had the little FM transmitter in it instead of its internal FM
stereo receiver that's useless in America, these days.

It's as connected through its SELLphone modem as your WebTV iPhoney
wannabe. Mine's on Alltel EVDO by choice, not by force. I don't have to
hack into it to get it to RUN SOFTWARE, either. Noone gets punished when I
access it as root...er, ah, unless I screw up, then ME! The loader just
re-installs over my mistakes in a minute or two, then my punishment is
reinstalling ALL the software I'd previously installed from maemo.org or
the other repositories full of freeware I can INSTALL and RUN on it,
without some Apple or ATT bureaucrat's permission, of course: http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...&system=maemo3
There must have been SOME reason it was the number one seller on Amazon.com
last Christmas...(c; I still think that must have been an error, but they
tell me it's true.
Don't YOU get one or even touch one, though. I don't wanna spoil your
iPhone fantasy trip into WebTVland.

I was hoping that Jobs would announce voice dialing for the iPhone at
Mac World.
The rumor is that they have voice-dialing almost ready, and due to the
upcoming California law banning handheld phones while driving it's
expected well before July 1, 2008 (when the law takes effect).
How it will work is that you're going to have to upload your iPhone
address book to iTunes, then for 99˘ per contact you can create and
download voice-tags at the iTunes store (it will include up to three
numbers per contact it's not 99˘ per number per contact). They'll also
have some sort of volume pricing, where if you want to buy voice-tags
for your entire address book the price per voice-tag is less, i.e. 100
or more voice-tags will be 10% off.
If you want to use "digit dial" where you say the digits of a phone
number, you can create and download voice tags for each digit you need
for 50˘ per digit (or pay a discounted price of $4.99 for all ten digits).

Those prices are way to high. But I'm sure once no-one pony's up they will
be lowered. For something a lot of phone mfg have built in already.

God this thing gets funnier every day! They don't put a common premium
SELLphone feature into a $500 phone so they can SELL IT TO YOU BY THE
NUMBER?!
Come on, people! How stupid ARE you?!
Question - What does Apple/ATT need to see your contact list for? What are
they going to do when the sheeple give them his data? Who will THEY SELL
IT TO?!

It's a joke son. I just remember the thunderous applause when Jobs
announced that for only 99˘, you could use an iTunes song (that you
already paid for) as a ring tone on the iPhone. Surely those that
applauded would be perfectly happy to pay 99˘ per voice tag as well.

That all depends on how well they bite the tip off of their unfiltered
cigarettes (which in turn requires at least two opposing teeth).
But the visual of redneck Larry stooped over the counter whilst playing with
his grease-covered toy was priceless.

I miss a lot with Larry in my kill-file!
What a shame that Waffle House isn't out west. I ate in one in Florida
last October, and that was enough to last me the rest of my life.

Sometimes I get in the mood to kill-file everyone being a jerk on
Usenet, and Larry, with his "SellPhone" schtick finally fell victim to
one of these mass kill-file addition sprees. It makes my newsgroups
reasonably clean for a few weeks, then I have to do it again.
I wish Thunderbird would make it easier to add someone to a kill-file in
_all_ newsgroups. It can be done, but it takes about 10 seconds per
e-mail address. I also wish that someone would come up with a way to
kill-file based on keywords in the body of the message.

I thought that they were the largest purveyor of grits. Grits are pretty
rare in California, but I like them having grown up in Florida.
Actually, considering the dearth of 24 hour restaurants around my area,
maybe Waffle House would be a good addition.

And yet _I_ continue to make it through? I guess I'm mellowing with age!

I haven't bothered with killfiles in a long time. As the old joke goes,
"even a broken clock is right twice a day." You never know where a useful
piece of information will show up- even our rabid iPhone fanboy Oxford
would occasionally post a useful link, despite his signal to noise ratio
being worse than that of an old KMart 8-track tape player stored in a
magnet manufacturer's warehouse.

That too.

I never "got" grits. The logic of naming a food after a synonym for dirt
always escaped me, plus the idea of putting butter on anything that
similar to cereal creeps me out. But, of course, every region has their odd
"specialties." I'm from Rhode Island originally, where kids drink coffee-
flavored milk (think chocolate milk, but made with a coffee-flavored syrup,)
cover our hot dogs in a meat sauce made by boiling ground beef, onions,
and celery salt in vegetable oil until it becomes the consistency of silt,
and often choose malt vinegar instead of ketchup as a french fry topping!

The mere thought of the Waffle House brings to mind the comedy bit by
the late Bill Hicks where he tells of the time when a waitress saw
him reading a book at the Waffle House and instead of asking him "whatcha
readin'?", instead asked "whatcha readin' FOR?" to which he replied
"so I don't have to work at a Waffle House?"
