I have been an American Express customer for twenty years. In those twenty years, I have had a few issues, like card numbers stolen and irregular charges. In all cases, they solved the problem immediately, at no cost or headaches for me, sometimes taking it in the chin for me. In one occasion, I had a dispute with a hotel about a $400 charge, and a call to American Express fixed it. They said to me that I did not have to worry about the issue any more, and they were true to their word: I don't know how they negotiated with the hotel, but the bill and the charge just disappeared. I have no complaints about paying American Express my annual fee - they really have gone the extra mile for me more than once.
It is the slowest, most ponderous, most irritating one out there bar none. I hope this year they will not add those ridiculous Christmas gimmicks, which make it even slower, more ponderous and more irritating.
It is lame that you think any post that does not lambaste Microsoft, is "propaganda".
It would indeed. Now, remind me, where did I write such a thing? You are just inferring it, on the basis of your prejudices, and you are wrong.
Indeed it is tempting to think that you prefer a steady diet of propaganda in favour of whatever computing environment you use.
It would be. However, were you to use your brain, you would understand that that does not follow from what I wrote.
Reflexive haters of Microsoft are boring and predictable.
They may be. But not more so than people of all walks of life who allow their prejudices block their high brain functions. This aside, having some some at the expense of any big, obnoxious corporation is good sport.
I bet they burnt lots of midnight oil to pull off this glowing achievement. Quite frankly, this fiery company is doing wonders to rekindle people's interest in the world of hi-tech.
I am sick and tired of desktop systems trying to go the extra mile. Do NOT go the extra mile. Just do what I tell you to do. Do not try to predict, do not try to run the show. I run the show, you shut the fcuk up and do what I tell you to do, when I tell you to do it. You are not intelligent enough to know what I want or I need, so do not even try. Just stay in the background quietly, ready to do, as promptly as possible, what I tell you to do. Do not bother me with nonsense. Do not remind me of things, unless I explicitly tell you to do so. And, whatever you do, do NOT use oodles and oodles of resources for it. You are not the star of the show. You are just a servant.
Running neck and neck with the US - they are always talking about their special partnership, right? What the UK needs now is a buffoon as PM, to match Trump. They have the perfect candidate in Boris Johnson.
What is a Microsoft talking head going to say? That Windows sucks to high heaven and that it does not spy more thoroughly into users because it can't? That would be news, for nerds or anybody else; this is not news, for nerds or anybody else.
Nokia used to make terrific handsets. It was only when Elop, the worst CEO in history, took the reins that things went south precipitously. If Nokia starts designing handsets again, this time with Android, I'll be in principle interested.

They have no need for good coverage anyway - after all, it's just a little island.

They meant Microsoft software.
An actual case where the manufacturer is disabling the product in the best interest of the public.
In their own interest. If more of their ridiculous phones explode, the lawsuits that Samsung would have to deal with would be epic.
It has other more explosive devices in the pipeline with which it will no doubt rekindle the public's burning desire to buy Samsung products.

Does this mean that it will not burst out in flames? For, if it does not, it cannot be a true Samsung phone.
They are, aren't they?
I guess MS is greasing Slashdot's palms quite thoroughly these days. It should be renamed Backslashdot, to be more open about who is the master.
For, after many attempts, I have yet to get any AMD binary blob to work under Linux for any AMD card.

What's the matter with Slashdot? Why has it become a Microsoft's propaganda vehicle?
I bet they burnt lots of midnight oil to pull off this glowing achievement. Quite frankly, this fiery company is doing wonders to rekindle people's interest in the world of hi-tech.
I can't wait to lay my hands on such an explosive product, from a company on fire.
That just shows what we all know: Samsung's phones are on fire, Apple's, not so much.
People need an income to buy things.
This is bad. Very bad. If substantiated, the lawsuits against Samsung are going to be epic.

The Microsoft of the FOSS world.
Microsoft laid its foul paws on this company, which is, as a consequence, doomed. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.
Enjoy reading this comment on your Microsoft run computer.
That'd be something: my desktop has been Linux for twenty years.
2500 B.C. and everybody watch the dinosaurs.
In 2500 BC? Where did you not learn any biology?
