Re: Telling if a number is a cell?

If the number has not been ported, the prefix will tell you that the number is a cell, the phone company that owns it and the geographical area were the number is housed. Even thought my number is ported it still comes up a cell number belonging to att and it's a San jose number.

kain preacher

Re: Telling if a number is a cell?

The prefix tells you , well unless the ported the line to home phone.

kain preacher

Re: Stop the threats

I always that was BS. Freedom of speech does not equal freedom to be heard. I'm paying for the phone line.

if the same people kept on knocking on your door and you kept telling them to go away, you can hit them with trespassing . Why does a phone call make it different ? It's not like they are doing it on some thing publicly owned.

Re: Microsoft refused to allow the OEM’s to pre-load BeOS ..

In 1997, Power Computing began bundling BeOS (on a CD for optional installation) with its line of PowerPC-based Macintosh clones. These systems could dual boot either the Mac OS or BeOS, with a start-up screen offering the choice.

Due to Apple's moves and the mounting debt of Be Inc., BeOS was soon ported to the Intel x86 platform with its R3 release in March 1998

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS

kain preacher

Re: BeFS

Scratches head. BeOs was originally designed for the Mac. When Steve jobs came back he said hell no. It was not as complete for the x86 as it was for the Mac. MS had nothing to do with its death. BeOs was hoping to be the next os for the Mac.
