...but in China they stick to them? I mean, I know I'm not really pointing out anything new or deep here, but Microsoft seems to constantly come up with new ways to make me shake my head.
You can't have that these days, it just wouldn't feel right having amazingly real visuals and sound effects, and then not having any voice. That said, Monkey Island 1 and 2 was a lot funnier to read than the later (and remixes) games that had voice overs.
hmm... There is playback of H.264 using hardware acceleration in QuickTime. Adobe use their own inferior implementation instead of using the one already available. Adobe is being lazy.
You find one single issue that Linux or OSX don't compete well with, among a number of issues that Windows historically fails at and that instantly means that OSX and Linux are not grown up operating systems...?
Same, but I'm even worse, my field is robotics and as a dyslexic I've fought against maths my whole life, the other day someone asked me what's 2 divided by 2, I swear it took me 2 seconds before I answered.
It's not that I couldn't do something so very very simple, I just grew up being bullied and laughed at for not being able to do these things in school and my brain will literally regress back to those days when I'm asked things on the spot. If someone asked me 7*13 on the spot I'd likely be the same as you, in fact I know I would.
Give me a piece of paper and it all goes away.
They really have liquid sensors in them? That seems so... Orwellian. Does that not bother anyone else?
This sort of comment is starting to get stupid, I actually read a post elsewhere the other day, from someone stating that Apple is evil and literally as bad as China because the iPhone is a closed environment.
Oh gosh, THANK you. Honestly I really did think I was alone in this but what you say was just how I felt, Thrawn was contrived and the whole anti-force thing just felt really way to "oh, how convenient".
I think I must be about the only person in the world that detested most of the early Extended Universe (Zahn included) stuff as much as he detested the prequels that followed some years later.
No idea what the later stuff was like as I never bothered with it, Han Solo calling someone a "panty waste" and lame story after story was just too much for me.
Personally, for me it gobbles up resources and (pulling a number out of the air here) it's 99% of the time the reason why my OSX or Linux based browsers crash.
As others here have said, I'm in the UK on O2 and I have zero problem with this issue at all. Zero.
My coverage jumps from 3G to 2G regularly and I never ever have a dropped call.
You're either amazingly important, simply summarising a very long painful process up in a few words for the sake of keeping an internet post shortish or you're basically lying...
To be fair MS themselves used to make a big deal out of claiming that IE was Windows and they couldn't be separated. That not being true didn't stop them.
Ignoring the fact that they've come along way in both securing the browser and supporting standards shows nothing they do would make you happy.
Yes of course, the largest computer software company in the world should be given a hearty slap on the back for "coming a long way". I mean, they're only the standards that everyone else is following it's not like they matter.

Yeah, stupid Steve Jobs, making Flash run badly on Linux is all his fault.
...and I'm expected to vote for one of these parties in May.
Given the popularity of Ubuntu I find that hard to believe.

You base the statement "Linux and OSX are not grown up" on a posters false information, and I'm the one that needs to take off my blinkers?
er, Fuck off, apple and all your wanky users. flash is a part of the web and its here to stay. like it or not.
Wonderful, and the worlds computers are that little bit more insecure thanks to Flash and people such as yourself.

I'm sure they will say they do, I'm sure they think they do.
...to move somewhere that isn't England.

The students and faculty don't clamor for input and transparency on which payroll company the university uses to issue paychecks.
...you don't think that has anything to do with the payroll not being sold to advertisers do you?

Well you didn't have to wait long, I watch H.264 video all the time on my iPhone. What point are you trying to make?
Personally, for me it gobbles up resources and (pulling a number out of the air here) it's 99% of the time the reason why my OSX or Linux based browsers crash.
RIIIIIIGHT, because the problem with compatibility just does away when you upgrade Windows.
You'd need a MIG to shoot down a UAV.

it took some phone calls to stop the censorship.

That should read *IE was an integral part of Windows*, sorry.
To be fair MS themselves used to make a big deal out of claiming that IE was Windows and they couldn't be separated. That not being true didn't stop them.
