More importantly MS is not selling a product called "Azure", they have given a product they are developing the code name "Azure". When they actually release the product if they call it Azure, then it might be time to discuss this.
While the pedant in me may have wished to agree with you in an earlier era, the pragmatist can't. "Code name" or not, they're deliberately and obviously underway with a marketingcampaign which promotes "Azure" as their new product. The "code name" hand-waving is about as meaningful as Google's "beta" moniker.
Actually, it's the exact opposite in my experience flying domestically in Canada over the past few years: only the boarding pass is checked at the security line; the personal ID (driver's licence, etc.) is examined at the gate.
That assumes you actually tried to look for evidence. You can quite truthfully say you have found no evidence of X if you never even looked for any in the first place.
I disagree. To find implies to have searched.
Look up the difference, e.g., between "see" and "look", "hear" and "listen", "feel" and "touch", etc.
This is making me not only completely refuse to ever buy an iPhone, but...
Wow, what an overreaction. Say Apple change their policy on this sometime in the future (maybe even the near future). Say the iPhone also happens to gain some new features that are useful to you. Will you still hold steadfastly to your "complete refusal to ever buy an iPhone" on principle?
And if you allow discussion in the classroom, you can teach all those things you mentioned. We learn as much from mistakes as correct actions. (More in some cases) Do you know how few people can tell the difference between a theory and faith? Seriously, you can teach the difference without saying "Your wrong and have no business being here."
I don't think you need to put creationism on the official curriculum in order to have a discussion in a science class about how much it's a load of bollocks.
There is a stark difference between teaching something false, and having a discussion that involves its debunking.
It's got everyone even remotely connected to technology talking about Microsoft.
Sure, but what's new? Anybody remotely connected to technology is already familiar with Microsoft, and probably addresses them in conversation once in awhile.
If "getting people to acknowledge the existence of Microsoft's brand" is the only goal with this campaign, nothing new has been achieved.
Its only $200 stop blowing the price out of proportion.
False. If I want to buy the phone and walk away with nothing but the phone, I have to pay $200 and enter a contract, then pay an additional $400 to cancel the contract. Net: $600.
I'm not sure I'd agree with stripping the gold from the girls. They gave the performance to earn it. They shouldn't lose it because their government is shady.
But they were well aware of the rules, and presumably of sound mind enough to recognize they were breaking them, weren't they?
Or are you suggesting that a professional athlete might train for years with an utter ignorance to the stipulations regarding competitions in his sport?

You do realize that "wireless broadband" isn't the same thing as wi-fi, right?
Both terms are pretty meaningless in and of themselves. In this world of buzzwords-for-everything, it's not surprising that there is confusion.
On the other hand, if we were to start describing things by what they actually are...

I agree that I would like a 3.5" jack but at the same time I also understand why there isn't one.
Of course. A port the size of a floppy disk would be almost as big as the phone itself.~
Anyone want to try buying .php, or .exe, just to see what happens?
Maybe you should speak to Poland and see how it's worked out for them...
Internet non-necessary... When was the last time you were in college?
Evidnetly awhile ago, as he is apparently unfamiliar with the common English word "unnecessary". :)

Heh; I guess you mean consolation prize.

While your sentence is vastly better, I would further fix it to read "it looks like the carrier will deliver on its promises."

The same example and process apply for the Courier suite (a much better alternative to qmail ;)), though substitute ".courier" for ".qmail".

Huh. Either I'm blind, or the article was just updated. Obviously my above criticism is baseless. Oops.
And why didn't the author make an effort with a couple of words in the article summary?
Its only $200 stop blowing the price out of proportion.
False. If I want to buy the phone and walk away with nothing but the phone, I have to pay $200 and enter a contract, then pay an additional $400 to cancel the contract. Net: $600.
At least, that's how it rolls here in Canada.

Strip the medals.
Some lawsuits are about vengeance; but that doesn't mean that lawsuits aren't a legitimate means of obtaining redress.
True. It just means that you're American.

Dan Gardner, an excellent columnist for the Ottawa Citizen, wrote a good article for a similar argument last year.
