Just because it doesn't say Sony on the case, doesn't mean it has nothing to do with Sony. It wouldn't surprise me if an least one of your electronic devices contains at least one Sony component.
Also if you buy a modern Lotus, the engine will be from Toyota.
Basically, it's a lot harder to avoid some companies than you think.
I don't even know where to begin replying to that comment, so I'll just say this: I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
And I hate jackasses who assume that everyone else knows what experience they have, and think that because they stated it, it should be assumed gospel truth by anyone who isn't them.
To be fair, the United States was founded by puritan nutjobs who wanted to out of a liberal and free Europe so they could continue to enslave and opress at will. I've probably exagerrated a little, but not as much as you'd think.
It is the result of private corporations lobbying for more privatisation. "Shrink the Government" is the voter-friendly PR spin on it. We have the same in the UK...fortunately the privatised "security" company G4S has just screwed up so massively that the agenda must have been put back a year or so. Personally, I think that any and all national security functions, whether physical or cyber, shouldn't be provided by anybody whose managers I cannot vote out of office.
As a fellow Brit I have been following the G4S Olympic security blunder in the news too. I will be very surprised if it actually makes any difference in the long run to privatisation though.
We have already let G4S run several prisons as part of a pilot scheme, once the pilot is over in a year or two we will outsource more to them I'm sure. Even before this G4S had a piss poor record when it came to prisoner transport yet they were still given more contracts in a similar vein.
The simple fact is that government loves privatising stuff as it means they can push costs of large infrastructure projects down the line to the next generation. It also means they can make lots of friends in business and those friends will repay them with a nice cushy non-executive director role later on.
Not to forget the Tories' attempt to privatise the NHS. Also, the railways were privatised under a Tory government. Look how well that's turned out (for non-UK/.ers: the UK railway network is overpriced, severely limited in capacity, and slowly falling apart).
"...fortunately the privatised "security" company G4S has just screwed up so massively..." - what a twisted world you must imagine to live in for you to consider G4S debacle "fortunate" in any way.
Way to butcher a quote. I suggest you quote in full next time:

You seem so convinced it's a fault with Windows, I bet you didn't even think to check the AP itself. I can see you're not going to back down, so I'll just say 'sucks to be you', and leave you to stew in the mire of your own ignorance.
As to the network, I've found it easier to do by hand than follow MS's lame wizards. And why can't I connect my notebook to a network unless there's a Win 7 Pro box on the network, or Linux (yay, Samba)?
You must have something weird on your machine - every time I've put a Win7 PC on a network it's been:
Love the trolls on this one. "M$ abandoned Windows (1.0) years ago. It is really like they are not even trying to make Windows (1.0) compete as a modern operating system. Windows (1.0) cannot hold a candle to Ubuntu or Lion. It has been years since they even bothered to give Windows (1.0) a security patch."

Because one-click program launching and two-click access to your most opened files are bad things to have.
Nessie? Is that you?

Not even Apple would be stupid enough to do that.

Everyone knows lower numbers are better - I'm selling 10.0.0.1 for $500 :)
The thing about defaults is... brace yourself... they can be changed!
There was nothing liberal in the 17th Century at all
FTFY ;P
I suppose I should have said 'comparatively liberal'. Oh well, live and learn.
You keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Me, I'm enjoying your endless delusions :)

Don't worry, just taking the piss - I know Slashdot is about as Microsoft-friendly as water is dry.

From a European's point of view, all US politicians are conservatives.

There is an XHTML5 standard - it's the HTML5 standard, but using strict XML syntax.
And that's what the 7.8 update is to address - it will bring as many WinPhone8 features to older handsets as possible.
Like I said, you have something odd with your network. I've never seen any version of any OS 'forget' a network SSID.

Then left-click the icon and open the 'Network and Sharing Center'. Then, use the 'Set up new network'.
it sounds like you're making things unnecessarily difficult for yourself.
