I like the Windows Update ones where it gives you a hex code with the message "an unknown error has occurred". If you know enough about it to give it a code then how can it possibly be an "unknown error"? My first senior programmer would have beaten me with a deck of punchcards for doing something like that. Lazy kids today.
It's a disgrace. I also can't believe that Microsoft still haven't given us a way to at copy and paste error messages from dialog boxes when they do bother to produce an error message.
It was much less annoying and slow than Vista. Of course that doesn't mean it should have got rave reviews when it took Microsoft 8 years to come out with a better version of XP.
My dad, no techie by any stretch of the imagination, has expressed his frustration at the measly 8GB on his 3GS. He's looking forward to getting a 16GB 4S but I'm betting he'll use that up too and have to start taking stuff off again. My friend's wife soon burned up her 16GB on her 4S taking pictures of their kids. Samsung don't seem to be too bothered about any patents given that my Note 2 has an SD slot that I have put a 32GB card in. This isn't about patents it's about control and greed. Google want as much of your stuff on their servers and Apple want to charge you £80 for an extra 16GB of storage that you can buy for £4.99 on Amazon.
I haven't tried it but Android-X86 might be a viable replacement. I can't see whether Netflix works on it but given that there are some Atom based tablets about I would've thought Netflix would've ported it.
And in every thread loads of people show why Linux isn't on loads of desktops by denying that anything is wrong and accusing the person of being stupid and/or a shill.
Nazi Germany was an aggressive imperialist state arming itself on their doorstep, not a bunch of whackos on the other side of the world who wouldn't give two shits about the US if they weren't propping up Israel and 'defiling' their holy sites in Saudi Arabia.
LMAO that's your argument? Because the Barre government were abusive scumbags the Somali people are better off under the warlords and Islamists? Funnily enough all the Somalis that have fled their country disagree.
I got tired of that excuse when I played an MMO. "It's not my fault I've figured out how to cheat/exploit it's the fault of the developers for not being omniscient."
Some of us do remember Compuserve, AOL and MSN which were all incompatible with each other. What we could have ended up with is either a balkanized internet or else MSN crushing everyone else and delivering us an online service with all the Microsoft proprietary lock-in goodness we had with IE6 and XP.
Why do people always do that on here? CM10 does disable parts of my hardware, that's inevitable when they don't have access to the device specs and closed source drivers. That doesn't mean it's not a good thing but it's not some kind of panacea.

It's a sad situation where Stack Overflow provides better support for Microsoft's software than they do.

"If you have nothing to hide you need not worry" is especially appropriate here.

Samsung, LG, Sony and Huawei all make phones with SD cards. Nothing to worry about yet.

However it's a bit hard to get an Apple laptop for £400, that's why I got my Dell.
Don't post real world examples like that here. You'll only be described as an idiot/shill/computer illiterate caveman.
Another transatlantic pissing contest yay!
I'm not surprised Europa is a bit prickly at the moment.

Oh piss off and read a dictionary you tedious libertard.

Guns are not illegal in the UK, they are just much harder to get.
No it isn't.
If Somalia is fine why are so many of them leaving?

So boring that you went to the effort of creating bots for it. If I find a game boring I stop playing it.

Hah I remember those days. Record your ZX Spectrum demo from a late night radio broadcast. I was never allowed to stay up late enough to do that :-(
It's uniformity in order to prevent the massive waste of each manufacturer having different and incompatible chargers.
