Not only that, but Verizon used to be "Unlimited" for their devices with the hidden cap being around 10GB, not 5. And even then, they would only cut you if you frequently broke 10GB.
It also tricks the iPhone into thinking you're on a faster network. This is just because the iPhone only differentiates between "I am connected to 3G" and "I am connected to WiFi".
There's nothing surprising that the iPhone seems to perform better either.
"Meanwhile nobody supports you and the Netbook market has seen a nearly decade old MSFT OS kick the living snot out of brand new Linux distros."
The Netbook concept has been around awhile, the market is only 2 years old at best. It doesn't kick the snot out of any brand new Linux distro, it proves that the best OS they have is still only XP which is sad. And to upgrade from it, you need a more powerful machine than a netbook and generally to PAY for the upgrade.
I'm sorry, but those Linux netbooks are pushing a realm of support unheard of. It's easier to get support to run things. And yes, for most of us, it is much more convenient that I can go to the Ubuntu forums and get community support for my Netbook from other users. Failing that, the netbooks are supported by their manufacturers and I can assure you they accept support phone calls and won't tell you to "google" drivers, they will tell you where to get them.
Just because you're shortsited, stuck up, stubborn and ignorant, doesn't make you right. Stop spreading your misinformation and lies.
From the article you quote: "For the first time, Linux has reached 1%. This past month the Linux share increased by 0.12% which is well above the average monthly increase of 0.02%."
What you have to say: "Vista sucked the big wet titty and you couldn't even gain marketshare against THAT."
Ummm, you fail. Linux (and so has Mac OS X) HAS gained a market share, just because it's not the majority doesn't mean that the inroads are being made. It takes a long time to overcome a monopoly on the market.
Microsoft wants to force you to upgrade and pay for it at that. Linux will let you upgrade when you are ready and at no cost.
Seriously, none of what you have to say has been true for at least 2 or 3 years now, maybe longer.
If you buy the right hardware, you never need to touch a command line. The same can be said for Windows as well where you cannot just grab a piece of hardware and expect it to work with the OS. I know for a fact this is true of nForce2 and Vista and is a huge reason why I switched over to Linux where it worked out of the box.
Honestly, I like the Wiimote. I like the feel of it, I like the gimmicks it can us. I don't like that every game is forcing the player to use movement or aiming. I'm not terribly happy it's in the PS3 six-axis either. Ultimately that's why I bought an Xbox360.
I'm happy with both consoles and each one excels for what I bought it for.
Just because you can suspend, doesn't mean the game doesn't demand attention for an extended period of time. Maybe that's what the poster meant.
I know I would hate suspending my games of Lumines (the first game I bought) because it was a lot harder to jump back in at the faster paces of later levels.
Guys, everyone responding to the parent, his gripe is not that cut/paste doesn't work.
His gripe is that when you click on the URL bar in Firefox-Linux, it doesn't automatically highlight the entire text so he can paste over the whole thing right away.
Personally, I think this is a stupid argument and a windows failure. I don't want to have to multi click to put my cursor at a specific point. This is a bad UI decision on MS's part and is a Windows behavior, not FF). And it's easily fixed by double clicking in Firefox-Linux.
Did you ever think about, you know, documenting them?
I have an entire folder in my "Documents" directory dedicated to OO.o docs with screenshots and command lines for all that I've changed on my running system that required more than a simple apt-get install.
100% agreed. I really don't need IBM salesmen (who have never tried to build a Virtualized environment) coming trying to tell me how to configure my enterprise by shoving a massive Oracle instance into a 1/10th of a CPU partition/vm because Gartner said it was a good idea.
Gartner is an abusable source to sell expensive solutions to IT management. That's all it is. Anyone living and working in reality will tell you that Gartner's over generalizations make their life harder by fighting poor management decisions based on their "findings".
A. ) there are no "free goodies", you paid for them as part of the support contract.
B. ) what real reason is there to pay for a support contract through RedHat? What am I gaining (and I am being 100% serious) over installing the software without support?
The catch all with the AIX/Linux argument is that IBM gets you on the hardware. They want you to run AIX because the hardware required to run it is expensive.
Now that doesn't mean you aren't getting your money's worth in hardware, but IBM isn't stupid. They would much rather keep you interested in AIX and see that it's TCO is about that of Linux on their hardware, but then they're locking you into their hardware.
I hate to burst your bubble, but that amount likely won't cover a private school tuition anyway.
I'll be you're one of those people that was in favor of McCain's little $5k rebate to people to select their own health care too while the average person's health care is about $13k a year.
We don't know what the person's problem with the teacher was it could be anything from "my daughter told me the teacher looked at her funny" or "my daughter got a C but she's really an A student" to "my daughter would never threaten a teacher". Maybe this person's daughter isn't the little angel they believe her to be.
From experience the average parent is only concerned about their child while the average teacher has to deal with thousands of students over the course of their career. And the moment one teacher upsets the little balance they've built around their child it's the teacher's problem not their own.
Furthermore, it is not the job of the union to tell teachers how to teach, that is the Board of Education's responsibility for laying down curriculum and policy in the classroom. The union is their to protect the lawful rights of its members, which is exactly why you can find that on the website.

We're seeing steps backward.

Yeah and the carts are rewritable, meaning I can copy a game from my computer to the card and later put a different game on it.
Rewritable DVDs are sketchy at best, I've had a few go bad after just 3 or 4 rewrites.
It's all but confirmed that the MotionPlus will be bundled with Red Steel 2 and that Red Steel 2 will require it for gameplay.
Text wall of fail.

Yes, they exist, and they suck. They chew up CPU and have horrible display restrictions.
"Fusion powered 3d graphics card? Are gamers really clambering to run awesome 3D games under OS X?"
Yes.
You're not alone, but don't hold me to your expectations either.

I think you watched a different movie than I did. Iron Man isn't the second most moneymaking movie of all time...

"adding options that weren't documented..."
Did you ever think about, you know, documenting them?
I have an entire folder in my "Documents" directory dedicated to OO.o docs with screenshots and command lines for all that I've changed on my running system that required more than a simple apt-get install.
Do you believe everything you read. You should be modded down, pity I don't have the mod points to do it at the moment.
You're the exception then. My WoW didn't work right out of the box and performance took a tank too.
Your experience is not the general case.
100% agreed. I really don't need IBM salesmen (who have never tried to build a Virtualized environment) coming trying to tell me how to configure my enterprise by shoving a massive Oracle instance into a 1/10th of a CPU partition/vm because Gartner said it was a good idea.

Wouldn't that be 300%?

Did they also threaten to release the Da Vinci virus?
This is the truth. If only I could mod you up more.
