I got a N97, and although happy with the hardware, is really unhappy about the Symbian OS. Slow response, bad UI (whether you are comparing to iPhone or the new Android or N900). Hopefully, they remove the ridiculous C/D/E drives and just use the unix unified file layout. If they hadn't done this, my next phone probably wouldn't be a Nokia phone.
I know about 3000 people driving Toyota, and one guy driving BMW. And, now that I think about it, at least 2500 Toyota users have had the car into service multiple times. That mechanic with the BMW just keeps his car going, and going, and going, and going. I think maybe he's getting some of the Energizer Bunny
If you leave everything set to auto-login, then you are asking for trouble. Amazingly, many still seem to do this, even though they are often young enough to have never been brought up to the bad habits people acquired with DOS.
Oh no, the computer that I have at home automatically logs me in. Fear, ruins. Any hacker can read all my financial statements and see all my pr0n by just turning on the computer.
Well, first they must disable the alarms in my apartment otherwise someone will notice that they are here. But then they can just turn on the computer and see everything on my system. Well, then they need to get into my apartment through a locked door (without triggering the alarm). But then they can just turn on the computer and see everything on my system. Well, to get to my apartment, they need to get into the locked building. and up five floors. But then they can just turn on the computer and see everything on my system.....

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."
2 Chronicles: They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
Jeremiah 48:10: "Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood."

Deuteronomy 22:23-24: "If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife."
Leviticus 20:10: And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
Matthew 5:17: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."
Many ISPs in Norway only offer the pipes. No email, web site, news or anything. And the service is much better (faster) than what I had when I lived in the Bay Area (AT&T)
Every April, you get pre-filled form. If you disagree with the return, you just update with the correct information. If you do, you just send in the finished form.
Just got back from a trip in Asia (Vietnam and stopover in Thailand) and had problems using my creditcard. Wondering if it was related? (Only brought one creditcard so had problems at some stores and the airport in Bankok)
Giving someone a casual gift. You can easily write a cheque as a birthday or wedding gift, knowing just the recipient's name. In those situations, it could be socially awkward to ask for the recipient's account information.
I've seen Mng, Mn, Mgr, Man as abbreviation for Manager. of course, the fun part is when they have different types of managers in the code, and they decide to abbreviate them all differently. Lots of fun.
Yes, you have user installable apps, but that's only if you're willing to hunt all over for apps or if your network provides it through their price jacked store.
How is having multiple sources for your apps make it as bad as Apple for vendor lock-in?
I don't need Nokia's approval, nor my carrier's approval for that matter, to download and install Opera Mini or GMail. If I want ringtones or new wallpaper graphics, I can just copy it to the phone. If I want games, there has always been several places I can buy them from at different places.

I thought all Apple people decided that copy-paste was unnecessary.
Everybody knows that anything I use and/or are interest in, cause no problems at all.

I got a newer model EeePC, 1101HA, 250 GB harddisk with 11.6" screen and got 9+ hours (closer to 10, and yes, I've tested that).

That used to be true. I know lots of smart Indians decided to go back to India after the first downturn after 2001 and especially now.
No other kind of lives matters to Americans?
No
Spain needs to be liberated from those evil pirates. And aren't they run by a socialist (read: Communist) government, anyways?
And if Obama won't do it, then he's just a weak socalist loving communist out to destroy the American way
hush, don't force reality on him. He thinks he's going to be one of the warlords as opposed to the plebes
The risk to us: There is no difference between killing someone in another country, and some uppity malcontent in the next city.

Get a gift card.
Depends on your definition of "deprecate" and "decade". As late as last year (2008), the kernel people were still working on removing it.
You forgot to add "Try to"

Yeah, time for faith based weight loss.
People with userid# over 20 000?
I don't know. Why don't we ask that question again when some company infringes the GPL...
