The base price of VZW's unlimited data plan is $30/mo, but you get 20% off (of the unlimited data plan) if you renew your contract when you buy a droid. That stacks with other discounts - for example, I get another 10% off for working at my company.

It's basically a spying tool. They aren't always looking.

No, that's a widely circulated myth. When you buy the tethering package, they run you through a special proxy server that limits you to 5GB of tethered data, but there's no limit on handset data.

Cool. Most devices will probably end up getting 2.0 anyways, though - if not officially, at least by the hacking community.

Couple that with the fact that cell phone companies just will not give you a cheap data plan (making your data inaccessible, away from wifi), I don't even see cloud computing useful for netbooks.

The people that would appeal to most likely already have data plans for their iPhones or whatever. You don't need to pay for two accounts, though they certainly wouldn't object to you paying for two. I have a USB card that lets me use my phone's unlimited data plan on my MacBook without the phone's assistance. Very handy, because tethering demolishes the phone's battery.

Oh, I was under the impression that it wasn't publicly accessible, since the one time I tried to hit it in the past it didn't work for whatever reason.

I don't know what to make of this:
Quote from: Dota.For.Rest
|last Zero is not Coded - it used only for detect end of Coded data
   |Decode is simple: all Coded data splited by 8 bytes blocks
   |First byte of each block is first bits of 7 bytes data bit0 always 1
   |Bit1 represents bit0 of byte1, bit2 represents bit0 of byte2 ...
   |Left 7 bytes bit0 set to 1 for coded data

I'm new to Java and application programming in general, so sorry if it's obvious, but I just don't get it.

A byte is 8 bits, thus its value can be between 0 and 2^8-1. Read about bitwise operations - and/or/xor, shifts, etc. Don't confuse bitwise operations with boolean operations; they behave differently, but share the names. It should make more sense after you've mastered that.

I sincerely doubt that cloud computing will ever replace traditional desktop computing. It's ideal for netbooks, and it probably won't thrive anywhere else.

Thanks, Joe. Not sure what the point of a private SVN server for a public open-source project is - makes it impossible to submit patches.

The only thing that I can say is when you're using ROC with TFT installed, the game connects as TFT then sends a "change client" message, boiling down to, I don't think you can use TFT hashes with ROC, so changing to "w3xp" should fix it in that case.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but Battle.net doesn't actually care if you use SID_SWITCHPRODUCT. You can just log in as WAR3, even if you have W3XP hashes. Obviously, emulating client behavior as closely as possible is preferable, but I think this is a safe caveat to use since it's how D2XP logs in as D2DV, and the code is probably reused on the server.
