after all, His Steveness' name is on just about every patent that Apple files, yet he has very little if anything to do with the actual development of them.
So when Apple file suit against Nokia, it's actually His Steveness that's filing in most cases since he is the patent holder and Apple is merely the Licensee.
except that you're wrong and netflix does offer some shows on instant watch the day after they air on television. including spartacus blood and sand earlier this year.
No. It was based upon data gathered via error reports and sent to MS automatically and was in reference to the OEM and Retail release of Windows Vista.
And yes, the GPU companies had PLENTY of time to write new drivers and test them, they just didnt make very wise use of it.
This is also why the problems have slowed down considerably since the release of Windows 7. It uses the same driver architecture as Vista for the most part making the creation of Drivers for Win 7 a much less painful process resulting in more stable driver releases. However, Both ATI and Nvidia still have issues from time to time in their releases.
A quick look at any HTPC forum will show the problems they both tend to have.
i live in a town of 50,000 people (where 30,000 of them are college students) and the closest grocery store to me is 10 miles away. no, i don't think most people can walk to a grocery store. not a real one anyway.
That policy is because if you stop forcing people to attend the shitty state/federally funded schools, the teachers union would quickly run out of members, the people of the US would quickly see how shitty the governments of the states and federal level are at running just about anything, and quickly come to ask the simple question of "what the fuck are my tax dollars actually being used for?".
it's much easier to keep an uneducated mass of people supporting your shitty government than to keep an educated one.
see every third world country and most religiously run countries.
no, what's wrong here in the US is that people EXPECT that simply throwing some money at an institution and attending some classes and doing the old pump-and-dump method of test taking is a RIGHT for all those graduating from lower education levels.
Living in a town with a major state university, it is appalling how basically stupid and ignorant of the real world most students at this university are.
The american student has basically been conned into believing that attendance of higher education is mandatory, yet at the same time is basically just a way to postpone entering the working force for a minimum of four years (and more likely 5-6 for that 4 year degree) and continue to act as a child while amassing a huge debt load for which the government is happy to keep taking their interest payments for the next 20 years.
no, he gets off on finding any POSSIBLE thing that is anti-american.
don't see him releasing a lot of confidential information from the chinese government, or the Saudi's, or most of the rest of the world that routinely kills civilians using both military and paramilitary forces.
corporation is making a product. By employing people in the local community they are creating jobs and allowing people to live off of the wages they make. The corporation also gives away money every day to help less fortunate people in the community. This is "known" in the community but no specific examples are released. However, the corporation also occasionally makes a mistake. during some of these mistakes, bad things happen alongside the good (as an example they give money to a homeless man who ends up buying a gun and killing someone with it).
Nothing ever gets "reported" except the mistakes the corporation made (they gave money to a man to buy a gun!), and those are only reported by an "inside the corporation" informant who secretly gives only those negative documents to the leaking "journalist".
the leaking "journalist" makes no attempt to see if the documents are true (no mention that the money given was part of a help the community initiative and this person was one of many to receive money and the only one to use it to kill someone), fake or even partially accurate, and makes no attempt to discover anything else the corporation does.
than IT should be actively managing updates fro all machines and using a WSUS server to push tested and verified updates in a timely manner after they are released by Microsoft.
If they aren't, then that is a failing on your IT departments part. Not MS's.
you do realize that the corporate versions of Windows 7, Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise, does come with XP mode which basically does exactly what you just asked for.......
allowing any xp program to be run from within the Windows 7 desktop.
And it's free.
and no longer requires a VT enabled processor.
As to the "wasteful Windows 7 interface" that is merely an opinion of yours, and one I, and many daily users of Windows 7 would refute with our opinions.
as someone who is completely self taught, and own his own business, i cannot disagree with you more.
I'd rather pull the straight from high school exceptional student that hasn't spent the last 5-6 years getting their 4 year degree and forgetting how to learn and instead focusing on rote memorization for a set period of time.
i can teach them what i need them to know, and will gladly pay for any training they and I feel they should receive.
And i get more motivated and BETTER employees by going this route. They aren't deeply in debt and demanding pay not commensurate with their abilities just because some asshat college / university person told them that was the expected salary. They are typically more likely to stay on because they are rewarded with all the training they need to do their jobs, and know that if they desire to move up, the training will be provided and thus do not have to LIE about what they can and cannot do in an interview. And finally they are typically less moronic when it comes to understanding how the real world works as opposed the fantasy land that most colleges/universities seem to think exists and tell them in the "norm".
I actually generally ask one question of every degreed person i interview before the interview ever gets started. "How many years were you in college and how many credit hours did you take each semester?" if their degree wasn't completed in the standard time or less, they go right to the bottom of the pile. I'll take my high school trainables over them at that point.
on my blackberry if i plug in a set of stereo headphones, the phones mic stays active but the sound out goes to the headphones.
i have a friend who hooks his up to his car stereo as a music player (through an AUX 1/8" stereo input) while going down the road and when he uses it as a phone, the car stereo transmits the received call while he still speaks into the phone mic on speakerphone. the other thing with this is it mutes the music when you answer a call iirc.

no more so than El Jobso is....

this would be true if they weren't writing unified drivers....
except both are.
No.

Just imagine what they would think if they were listening to Air America..........

no, i don't think most people can walk to a grocery store.
not a real one anyway.
sure, i'll leave the paint cans and brushes for you too.
wow.
they do the same thing as many other companies including Dell and get to charge a "tax" for it?
AWESOME!
it's the same with all versions of windows from Dell.
You get the OS install disc
A driver disc
and a "preloaded applications" disc
you choose what to install.
however, facts like these don't go well with the slashtard mentality and group bitch session articles like these produce.
ding ding ding.
obama isn't that old............

it's pathetic actually.
As someone who's father is currently alive because of someone who felt like you do, i thank you from the bottom of my heart (and his new one).
you need to stop believing those "documentaries" you've been watching.........
How dare you sue facts to make a point!
In this day and age it's all about being first!
Ask the NAACP in that case......
oh wait, they changed their mind......
no, he gets off on finding any POSSIBLE thing that is anti-american.

Here's a better analogy than yours.
corporation is making a product.
By employing people in the local community they are creating jobs and allowing people to live off of the wages they make.
The corporation also gives away money every day to help less fortunate people in the community. This is "known" in the community but no specific examples are released.
However, the corporation also occasionally makes a mistake. during some of these mistakes, bad things happen alongside the good (as an example they give money to a homeless man who ends up buying a gun and killing someone with it).
Nothing ever gets "reported" except the mistakes the corporation made (they gave money to a man to buy a gun!), and those are only reported by an "inside the corporation" informant who secretly gives only those negative documents to the leaking "journalist".
the leaking "journalist" makes no attempt to see if the documents are true (no mention that the money given was part of a help the community initiative and this person was one of many to receive money and the only one to use it to kill someone), fake or even partially accurate, and makes no attempt to discover anything else the corporation does.
yeap
that's a good source for anything all right.
It means when you go to Windows Update website, you will get a message to upgrade to SP3 before you can get any other updates (at MS's discretion).
Your XP install will continue to work exactly as before otherwise.
than IT should be actively managing updates fro all machines and using a WSUS server to push tested and verified updates in a timely manner after they are released by Microsoft.
If they aren't, then that is a failing on your IT departments part.
Not MS's.

yes because apple wasnt recently selling computers with KNOWN defective lcd screens at all.........
but they would (sometimes) "gladly" let you keep exchanging them (in-store) until you could get one that wasnt pee yellow.........
or until you pissed them off and they said "there's nothing wrong with them".
oh wait.
so basically it will be just like hamachi or logmein then...........
which the highly nontechnical family members i have, have absolutely no problem using.
on my blackberry if i plug in a set of stereo headphones, the phones mic stays active but the sound out goes to the headphones.
