In WP7, to a large extent they have copied all the shortcomings of the original iphone OS.
From what I've heard, it doesnt have true multitasking, proper copy paste, app installations from non trusted sources,etc -- similar shortcomings like the original iPhone
Its almost as if they tried to copy iPhone , but copied the original one rather than iPhone 4.
Also, why is this in the Apple category??
And/. is giving me "unknown error" for submission. Any ideas why?(missed getting 1st comment:( )
"where users can no longer tell the difference between content and advertising, and the omnipresence of internet advertising constrains the horizon of our thought"
who cannot tell tell the difference between content and advertising??
its pretty obvious most of the time.
and how exactly does "the omnipresence of internet advertising constrain the horizon of our thought"
Are books really so expensive in the western world, or is most of what is posted online just an exaggeration??
I'm doing my engineering at a university in India, and can get an entire semesters books for less than the equivalent of $100(If all are bought new).
With some shopping around, borrowing from the library and reselling the books after the semester, the cost goes down to less than $20-$30.
The cheapest way is just to photocopy the chapters you need(cost less than $10)
The books are just low price editions for the international edition(Only difference is a slightly lower page thickness and a less fancy cover)
(And this is for one of our most expensive universities,in the cheaper universities you normally pay much less for the course material)
windows doesnt advertise "works out of the box", Apple does
as for the linux distros, those targeted at the correct audience (Ubuntu untimate edition, easypeasy,etc) may be including it since thats their target market.
Isnt some large percentage of the fiber not being used anyways?
Rather than change the equipment on the current fiber, why not use more of the current equipment, and light up more fiber?
Dont you get all the lack of functionality in Notepad itself.
use the edit command in DOS, if you dont want to use the mouse at all.
Whats the point of using an editior like VI where even the backspace key does not work as it should?, doesnt it just add more overhead?
Isnt it simpler to ise the arrow keys for navigation and backspace for backspace,etc..
I believe gedit does the same for Linux
Pls enlighten me..
not necessarily, 100 VM's means 8 Cores and 16GB RAM per VM. assuming that these cores are not equivalent to Atom cores, but something faster, it still doesnt say anything about the graphics hardware
800 AMD processor cores, that knowledge is useless, need more info regarding that, are they ultra low power ones like Atom/Bobcat, or extremely high clocked, such as the i7 980x/ Phenom x6 1090,etc
Also article says that they have 1600GB RAM, isnt RAM normally in powers of 2?
My 486 ray-traced perfectly. I don't understand why we're using processing power to show glass reflections in ray-traced sniper scopes when all the old monitors showed the reflections of people approaching from behind already!
Stupid matte LCD panels.
So thats why most laptops come with glossy screens..:)
I live in India, and can assure you that you cannot find a new Nano for $1000.
The original price was $2000 which you may have seen in the papers/advt. but that goes to $3000 including the recent price hike and taxes,indurance,etc
so, the residents have 2 choices 1)Pay a piracy tax and dont pirate--then whats the point of the tax 2)Pay a piracy tax and pirate-- risk going bankrupt
Not sure that would work, they would just change their business plan.
The Italian RIAA (the local name is SIAE) has started charging a "missed revenue tax" on empty media. Wanna buy a CD-R, a DVD or even a hard disk in Italy? You have to pay your share. Even if you use it to burn the photos of your holidays.
So, is it legal to fill up the media with 100% pirated stuff??
Yes, it was supposed to be the 1lakh(Rs 100,000) car, but the actual prices went up, and including the taxes,etc, the price goes up to approx 1.5 lakh($3000 taking a conversion rate of Rs 50=$1)

How do you accidently overclock a PC??

isnt the current limited to 100mA per port if the device doesnt identify itself?

you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."
More like atoms or grains of sand than peanuts
Surprising that noone noticed the reply titles "Re:Cool, it's like Intel Upgrade Service for a bra"
the +1 funny mod is for that
$1 billion and guaranteed protection in another country? I'd have to think about it.
You would still have to think???
We wouldnt have had this story if they had
not necessarily, 100 VM's means 8 Cores and 16GB RAM per VM.
assuming that these cores are not equivalent to Atom cores, but something faster, it still doesnt say anything about the graphics hardware
the task manager alone would take up a few dozen cores
but does it run linux?
guess it doesnt run windows, though I would like to see the processor graphs of a 800 core machine in the Task Scheduler

wonder how such rules can exist

its the same car, but dont know which model the one that caught fire was.
most prob. the more expensive one since ppl dont buy the cheaper one much
