Fraud Case

I received an sms from Nokia promotions stating that I was the lucky winner of R95000. I called and the person asked me that to better the final draw, I had to purchase R200 and send him, acc num, phone num, and vouche num. I obviously asked him what company his from, where in cape town... He answered it clearly and spontaniously... He said he was from Long Street, Plot 4, 11th floor, working for and outsourced company called nokia connection. I'm more SA, so I could not make sure if all this was legite...

Anyway, ended up googling all of this after, and here I am, feeling ridiculous and stupid for having fallen for this fraud. I would like to know, whether the police cannot get hold of this guys information theough his phone number: 0730713298. I am still in comunication with the person. I know all about him, but he does not know that!!! I just wasting his money, just like he did with me...

some cases internationalization is simple, for example, making a US application accessible to Australian or British users may require little more than a few spelling corrections. But to make a US application usable by Japanese users, or a Korean application usable by German users, will require that the software operate not only in different languages, but use different input techniques, character encodings and presentation conventions.

Qt tries to make internationalization as painless as possible for developers. All input widgets and text drawing methods in Qt offer built-in support for all supported languages. The built-in font engine is capable of correctly and attractively rendering text that contains characters from a variety of different writing systems at the same time.Some time ago I received a private email directly from Elop (just me, nobody else in CC, I am not going to go into details as to why), in which he explained that the biggest problem was the small amount of MeeGo devices in the years immediately ahead.

This is simply not true.

Before explaining why, I'll quickly say that I actually work on hardware adaptation, so if somebody knows the amount of effort needed to adapt MeeGo to different hardware platforms, it's us. Plus, I closely follow Linux related mailing lists (linux-arm, linux-omap, linux-media, etc.), and know a lot of people in different companies that work precisely in this area. I have quite a few years of experience doing this, so I know what I'm talking about.

Update: To avoid confusion, I am a mere software engineer. And when I say "us" I'm talking about the bigger team I am part of.

Nobody I know believes what Elop said, and let's keep in mind that Elop is not an expert in this area, we are. So my guess is that he got his information from some upper management guy who didn't know what he was talking about either.
