u have 2 know the iphone unlock process has become ridiculously easy when every tom, d!ck & harry r offering 2 do it 4 a fee.

i think they do have something that qualifies as feed, but access it very, very restricted (which in 9ja language means it is political).

i really think comments are a bit outdated as the use of sensible variable names can now be used mostly. we no longer have those languages that limit the length of a name to a few characters. and if u r a beginner in the field, u have no business reading /handling complex code, therefore u wouldn't expect me 2 explain using comments, basic ideas like looping or setting variables.

they are not copies. for instance Clippy is only activated when in edit mode, while CopierciN allows you to "copy" read-only.

iPhone copy-and-paste is finally here!

ever heard of roaming?

In your head think of the data structure "Error" as "ErrorReport" (error is different from error report of course, as error report can make sense as "no error") and keep it moving. You are still talking semantics.

U r 2 busy thinking about semantics while the writer was busy thinking about code reuse. If he was to create a data structure for "Success", it would be way too similar to the "Failure" or "Error" structure. He therefore decided to merge both into one. He could have decided to call the structure "SuccessOrFailure" or "ErrorOrNoError" but the name doesn't make a difference. He understands what he's trying to do, and the name does not affect the structure in any way.

"i paid him 14k for illegal browsing stuff "

so what's the noise about? u pay somebody 2 help u steal, he come rob u. y u come dey shout?

simply means u will always have an error associated with any response. and in the case where there is no error, rather than return "null", an instance that says "all is well" is created. what's the biggie?

don't mind those guys jare. can u do it in 30 seconds?

can u can do it in 30 seconds?

create a script that runs after the db is installed. u can usually do this by exporting the db schema. the script usually has a ".SQL" extension.

Oh yeah, Ex, I forgot 2 commend u on the themes. really nice.

"We're told that the OS is based on Linux, and is in some way an extension of what they've been crafting for a while now, but on top of that Linux core is a display layer that is basically WebKit"

hmmm. they've all seen the light.

"The device features copy and paste, which is implemented by holding a thumb on the gesture area and grabbing the text you want with your other thumb or a finger -- there's also a dropdown menu that lets your move through a number of editing options."

wow. exactly as i suggested that the iphone copy-n-paste feature should be implemented while chatting on the #iphone IRC.

apparently the security model has been updated after much criticism. it now actually looks more like the model in Android (this is quite obvious). there was no need 4 any serious demonstration 2 show that any malicious code that gets a hold of the "mobile" profile can wreak havoc on all installed apps, as they all shared this profile.

Hopefully, the security model has changed radically from what I read here in these articles:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/24/omtp_security/

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2007/oct/25/researchersattackiphonessec

http://cultofmac.com/confiormed-iphones-security-better-but-still-not-perfect/1791

I have posted the articles in order of improvement of the security model.

They changed the model by having apps run using the "mobile" privilege (that was the user id I was trying to remember earlier), but this still isn't a sandbox, as a rogue application that takes hold of the "mobile" id will equally be able to do damage to all apps.

Now, I'm not sure if there is a newer model that the last 1 I posted.

Ex Inferis,

my guy, this is the most important phrase in ur post: "most apps with running daemons require root".

@naijafan
indeed, there are some 3rd party apps back in 1.1.1 that i remember didn't use root privileges, but rather used something like "mobileuser"; not sure of the exact name. but the fact that an app can run using root privilege at all violates a sandbox model. that's the point i'm making.

@naijafan

The iPhone OS model cannot be called a sandbox model if applications require root access to run.

my guy, why this cyclic argument? 

In sum, jailbreaking is not just to install 3rd party apps, it's to also allow tools and code have root privileges in order to allow foreign code and mods like winterboard.

what's the difference between "3rd party apps" and "tools and code"?

Naijafan:

You can receive SMS Delivery Notification by affixing the code "*N#" to the SMS message. Example, the message "Testing delivery notification" will be sent as "*N# Testing delivery notification". This works for most networks (I can verify Etisalat as I have not tried the rest), as the code is dependent on the network of the SMS recipient. You can check online for more on the code.

The purpose of jailbreaking on the iPhone OS is mainly to install 3rd Party apps. The security model of Android is different from iPhone OS, that's why u may not need to jailbreak Android to install 3rd Party apps. If i remember correctly, an app in Android runs in its own sandbox, independent of other apps, and with user privileges all of its own. On the other hand, for an app to run in iPhone OS, root privileges are required.

lol. nice thing u said "probably".

lol. they didn't find out. they were told, albeit cryptically. the post no 61060174 had stated it was not possible 2 unlock 2.2 OTB (bb=02.28.00). therefore ignoring it means,

apparently the Yellowsn0w will support 3G 2.2 as well.

first hint was:

00100000

this when converted to ASCII characters is "vtaber 61060174". "vtaber" is ROT13 for "ignore". 61060174 refers to a post on the forum. u can do the rest of the sherlock holmes tip.

lol. i guess he was thinking about ur name and "penis" @ the same time.

lol, this flyuche.

why didn't you respond to my response to your post? with what u said about the "Minority Report" interface, I can hardly trust your knowledge of GUIs.

now what would u be without ur fingers? best imagined.

if u want 2 upgrade ur 3g to 2.2 and still be able 2 unlock, check this link:

i've downloaded the files, but yet 2 use them myself.

i'm a bit jittery cos it's just over 24 hrs to zeroth hour.

This is one of the reasons why we don't yet have the famous Minority Report information interface. In that movie, Tom Cruise donned special gloves to interact with an awesome PC interface where you literally grab windows and toss them around the screen. But that interface is impractical without the proper feedback—without actually being able to feel where the edges of the windows are.

Shows how little you know.

watch the vids below:

http://oblong.com/

"Some of the SOE's core ideas are already familiar from the film Minority Report, whose characters performed forensic analysis using massive, gesturally driven displays. The similarity is no coincidence: one of Oblong's founders served as science advisor to Minority Report and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT."

Concepts in Sci-Fi movies are usually based on real-life works-in-progress, in case you didn't know.

i don't know y people r talking about the appointments as if they are mandatory. if you are nominated for an appointment that you don't feel you are suitable for, you simply turn it down. that, i believe is what dora (nafdac boss) should have done. but in naija, as long as u r made a leader of a ministry u r not meant 4, even ur family people will ask if u have gone mad 4 turning it down. they expect u 2 take it, so that u can feed fat.

lol. dude u r out of luck if u r trying 2 prove an archaic point (the point expired sometime around the mesozoic era). u can send MMS from the iphone, if u know how 2 do it.

truth is, microsoft did something similar when they had to go bring back a unix guru (can't remember his name) from retirement to develop the kernel for windows nt.
