No it won't limit the market.
Ok, maybe by MAX 10000 people... Wooooohhh, that's like a drop in the ocean, compared to overall iPhone sales.
Be realistic dude, the number of people that read these kind of articles (aka us and some other geeks/nerds/ IT guys with too much time on their hands / 2 or 3 girls) is very limited.
The target audience, aka the rest of the world, doesn't give a damn about Opera/Firefox/Android/Windows/Linux/bla bla.
They just want nice, shiny phone that is able to connect to "the facebook" and, and...., well, and is nice & shiny...
This said, i hate their corporate policies as well!
At my university we luckily did have a Bill, stating what the rights and obligations were for all parties.
On one occasion, i had two exams on the same day, studied hard for one of them, figuring i could pass the second one in September, because that was the easier one. The professor didn't show up, and so i would have to redo both tests. I went to the other professor (of the easier course), told him why i couldn't take his test, and also told him my misfortune. He advised me to go to the Exam Board and demand a grade for the difficult one, as the other prof didn't live up to his part of the contract. Done, and won. Got a 12/20 (which is the minimum to pass) for that test:-)
I'm on a day off from work, and i still have to read about Notes... Please, don't talk about that shitty program again. Please...
(And don't even get me started on Eclipse...)
Btw, for the sake of you and your colleagues, buy a tshirt or sth from http://www.ihatelotusnotes.com/ it really does help:-D
Atm going to talk with your boss about this, is the same as waving a red flag at an enraged bull...
Most of the time (ALAS!) the smart pants with the new ideas is the first to one to get the door slammed against his ass. I wish it were different, but it isn't.
I'm actually the person in charge of our security, and, as we take security quite serious, the auto-update is set hourly (which is btw the default). McAfee let the faulty DAT 4 hours (!) online,...
I got it offline about 20 minutes after the first machine "hit the ground", but by then 95% of my machines had the update (550 machines over the whole of our country).
With the IT team we figured out a solution about 2 hours after it hit, even before McAfee came with a solution (which, at that time, wasn't even working...) and we had everything cleared up in 7 hours time, but i can tell you, those were hell...
Luckily, the whole it team is on Windows 7, for testing purposes, so we were able to continue to work and coordinate the "rescue mission".
I don't even want to imagine what the damage would have been if it also affected 2008 machines, which meant all our servers...
I got bullied too at school, and after years of doing nothing i got sick of it, took the bully by his head and slammed it into a pillar. Never had any problem afterward.
You don't just have to try and fight back, otherwise they could see it as a success, because you react, you have to make clear that they will get hurt too.

Maybe you should tell us your passwords, then we can help you remember them!
You mean shexting?

Exactly!

Better that than the other way around...
You got to be kidding, right?

I wish it were different, but it isn't.
Anyone cares to try and explain this to his boss, without fear of being fired?
Don't understand me wrong, i'm not saying they can't take a mistake, but at the third one i wouldn't dare put this to the front...
Apple?
True,
that's where i'd like it to go, but, as in, i imagine, almost every big company, changes come slow, and after a lot of lobbying...
Same here.

I'm guessing he tried "à propos" which, in french, means 'by the way", but of course is not the same thing as "apropos", as you clearly stated.
Indeed.

Well, after Jules Verne, NASA is checking out other science fiction writers for ideas... The Mars trilogy, by Kim Stanley Robinson, sound familiar?
Exactly my idea! I'm always picking sides for the bull, hoping those bloodthirsty toreadors get to run for their life.
You're on /., make that 3 sons...
Damn!
Then where the hell am i living?
Woohoo! Faster Hentai downloads :-)
You really should read up a bit.
As said by other persons above, cryptology did help shorten the war a lot, and avoid even more loss of human lives.
I'll gladly help you with your reading, this book is really worth your time: The Code Book.
incapable of having fun unless it meets their selfish needs?
Isn't that true for most of humanity?
Not biased?
Are YOU kidding me? I sincerely hope you are being ironic...
Just check out the "Article of the Year" on Evolution, it just shouts "creationism"
Whatever i might think about how nature has been conceived, i prefer my articles with at least a sense of objectivity.
A world where a lot of people have their threshold set to 1, instead of raw & uncut.
Thank you for clarifying that, Captain Obvious :-D
You must be new here
