Using "she" for your project you spend lots of time on, be it a car, boat, robot, computer, whatever... seems like a good way to tease/annoy your girlfriend or wife.
It's like her replacement.
But this is Slashdot... can you really replace something you've never had?
You're not really missing anything. The situation in the US screws over customers in multiple ways, and an unlocked one phone only solves one of those problems. For example, I only have a choice of one network to use, so I'm locked to it even with an unlocked phone.
it's a lame attempt at being retro-cool, just like the retention of the Gates Borg icon for Microsoft.
They can screw with the slow-as-molasses Web 2.0 Javascript on a weekly basis, but downloading a icon from Wikipedia to use for Ubuntu would be too much work.
All the options for Chrome/Chromium/Iron don't really block ads. They only prevent them from rendering after they are downloaded. The amount of time downloading the ads takes more than negates Chrome's speed advantage over Firefox. it's worth noting the "AdBlockPlus" for Chrome is not made by the guy who develops AdBlockPlus for FF.
I was eager for this feature, but it is extremely disappointing so far. I won't be moving off Firefox just yet.
Since that isn't the case, this looks to me like another religious issue. Like when you have one sect of Christianity going to war against another sect of Christianity because they disagree on whether to drink wine or grape juice for Communion. Naturally the grape-juice drinkers think they have irreconcilable differences with the wine-drinkers and vice-versa. Each side thinks the other is composed of total idiots and assholes. Neither appreciates that what they're arguing over is a trivial matter of taste.
To be fair, the problem is that such groups think these are life and death matters and not trivial ones. You have be more spiritually matured to see that the matter is trivial.
The point is that we do not need skills to enjoy movies or TV shows. And the learning divide, for as long as it would exist, would be making gaming business vulnerable.
I have to disagree with this point. I first began to avoid watching TV 7 years ago as a bet with a roommate in college, and it's been long enough that I have "unlearned" the attention span needed for the pattern of commercial breaks in a show. If I try to watch a show now with family, the (from my viewpoint) constant interruption is extremely irritating, but it's just normal to everyone else.
The skills for TV are so ingrained in most of us that we don't even know they are there unless we get rid of them.
I agree... I've been trying to send my 360 in for RROD repairs for the better part of a month, and the site is always down in some way. Right now, I can't even pull up the main page because of an "internal server error".
How convenient... my 3 year warranty expires in mid January.

Fanboy's list works great.
That looks to be output from the Complaint Generator, so it involved less effort to create than your post did.
It's probably a reference to the fact that DNS-and-BIND has used that exact post before.

Not everyone lives in the US or speaks American English.
Most native English speakers do. So I'm afraid you'll have to deal with the grammar trolls, as there are plenty of them.

Perhaps one or two might have traditional voice plans. All will have data plans.
With ubiquitous 3G, why would we need the farce of separate plans? It's all bits going over a network... data.
Telstra received taxpayer money and a government mandate to provide service to such areas.
This goes both ways, with lots of "domestic" cars made in Mexico or Canada.
The terms domestic and import are basically meaningless these days.
The BMW 2002 turbo and the Porsche 911 turbo both predated the Saab on the European market. Buick's first turbo came out in 1978 along with Saab's.
You conveniently forget about WWII.
Well played, good sir!
Did you mean 36-24-36? 26 isn't gonna look very good or give you much room to work in ...
Trying to karma whore as an AC would be a good example of doing it wrong.
Your post is another good example.

Technically, days on Earth get longer as the planet's rotation slows over time. A day was around 21 hours long when T. rex roamed the earth.

It also fits well with our religiousness.
There is no Math but the one true Math. Surely all those "hard" science nerds could agree with that?
Did it work? I'm still unclear on whether you have to be logged in to undo moderation, or if it is IP based.

We have numbers on our side! :)
Sorry, bro.
Thanks for the link (and the car analogy)!
