You're wrong, and also right. Fake blood, gross effects and nudity don't make a movie scary, but you can call all these nonsense PG-13 "horror" movies that Hollywood has pumped out lately even remotely scary. It can't be scary and still be suitable for a 13 year old. Hollywood hasn't made a scary movie in decades.
Ok. That's clearer. I thought you were trying to say that all (or at least very close to all) people who have computers have cell phones. But with your clarified sentence, I absolutely agree with you. There are lots of cell phones in the ass-end of the third world whereas there are very few computers. Not sure that helps with g-mail.
Not everybody, even technically inclined people, even people who work in tech, are so passionately in love with technology that they have to own every piece available regardless of the cost or whether it's actually useful to them.
No it means your bank should move to exclusively require all customers to use their smartphone app. And I know this isn't compulsory for g-mail either....yet.
But if it's not compulsory, then what's the point?
My south facing house gets plenty of sun and the snow on my lawn melts even without the temperature getting very high. My neighbors house across the street (north facing) doesn't.
Well that's kinda my point. Not to get too graphic, but while Google are trying to fuck MS in the ass, they are simultaneously giving them a little bonus thrill round the front.
Urghh....now I have a mental image that'll put me off my lunch.
If anything, it's the opposite of a backhanded compliment. A backhanded insult perhaps? Front footed insult? Not sure there's a phrase for it. I propose we call it the "Google reach around".
It's all a dream? That's a unique story? I remember our grade school English teacher forbidding us from doing that trick when writing stories because so many kids would do it as soon as they'd reached the required number of pages.
IIRC, it depends on where you are. Rules vary by country. I think the US is first to invent, while most of the rest of the world is first to file. Of course, you have established that TiVo was first to invent either, only that they were first to market successfully.
The point isn't anything to do with how much you personally value something. The analogue to 2000 year old bowls was made and I pointed out that if every bowl made in the last 2000 years still existed, they'd be (mostly) worthless. That doesn't change the fact that any specific bowl that was passed down through generations of your family might be absolutely priceless to you.
Watch any of the multitude of antique shows on TV, you see it all the time. "Yeah that's cool, but they made 100,000 of them so it's worth nothing."
What's wrong with being able to look up plot summary information for every movie ever made (even ones that got poor ratings or which sold poorly, such as The 13th Floor)?
There's a place for that already. (one that is often used as a citation source in Wikipedia).
Slashdot Mirror
A stupid, unoriginal, supernatural ghost story movie. Not scary. 'nuff said.
Also it's rated R, and has a 30/100 Metacritic score.

Exactly. Just witness how well Yahoo! is doing after refusing a buy out.

No, it's let not do something that excludes a portion of your users.
And you'd be wrong. I've had computers since I was 4 years old. I got a cell phone two weeks ago.
Believe it or not, but some people don't have cell phones.
Yet
Oh please. If you don't want to be labeled as a troll, maybe you should consider changing your sig. You're trolling and you know it.
Jammers? But that'll make them use other methods of communications which may be harder to tap, intercept or block on demand.
IANAL, but I think, attorney-client privilege is the problem there. If they call their attorney, you can't tap it.
Bravo! A masterful anti-Windows troll slipped into a completely unrelated topic. I doff my hat to you sir.

>>>the "Google reach around".
Isn't that usually considered a good thing?

but Inception really was quite the unique story.

They stop selling it but they are abusing a monopoly (the GGP troll's "point"). Could the one be the disproof of the other perhaps?
Is there an app for that?
Sorry to be an ass
No you're not.

It only a non-sequitur if nobody ever removes the cruft.
Then why did you reply to me in the first place then?

A fair point. Bravo.
