While true, it's irrelevant in the scope the question presented, as the main two sectors include ALL existing smaller sectors are the two I mentioned and are probably the most used split into "sectors" of the business world.
Public sector: Ran with public funds (i.e. government). Private sector: Ran with private funds (essentially everything outside government and often includes government owned by privately managed companies).
Cannibalism is a distinct evolutionary advantage when there is too few resources to support population that has to birth a lot of young to ensure at least some of them survive to adulthood.
It's commonly practised among many species that fall within this umbrella to this day.
Not really. Massive influx of new customers is actually not a good thing in telecom industry. You get massive congestion since you will be unable to expand fast enough due to logistical problems, and in a few months all the new people will be gone alongside many of your old clients.
Controlled influx that matches growth is much better for long term success. Of course, with many modern telecoms making an absolute killing from simply massively oversubscribing their capacity, it's not a very realistic scenario in many cases either.
You're nowhere near majority though. While there is plenty of pissed off people in small niches like yourself, vast majority of users like that they have OS that hasn't really changed its base UI and UI interaction in a decade. It means that they do not have to re-learn entire UI, and many of these people are likely borderline incapable of relearning a new UI in a reasonable amount of time.
Except that nokia was very far away from the "brink". They had well over ten billion in cash sitting on their accounts, and were making profits. In fact, until Q3 or Q4 last year (can't remember which one) they were profitable.
It wasn't until the butchery of symbian taking full effect that they started to actually lose money.
Right now, they're Just Another WP7 maker. Which is far worse, because they're competing for low single digit total smartphone market share instead of almost half of it.
We're already seeing it. Metro on desktop is nothing but WP8 marketing. The fact that they're actually pushing crippling marketing as "new feature" to windows desktop users is quite discouraging.
Nokia's PC integration is typically top notch. You can use the phone as an external drive, or install drivers and get your "connector software" to do pretty much what competitors let you do with your phone + nokia maps stuff.
Communicator line which was also killed after E7 has also traditionally had superb business integration, so it's hard to imagine that this wouldn't have made it to Meego if they went all out with it.
Depends on POV. If you're looking from consumer's POV, sure. But Microsoft killed off the OS that would have likely displaced WP7 as the potential "third ecosystem" and got the company to go full out into WP7. A double kill.
People do want windows. But they want windows they know, with software they know how to use.
WP7 is just the same name slapped on a totally different OS. Yes, I know, kernel, development, blah blah. Users however see UI and software it runs. And from that point of view, WP7 is a totally different product with windows name slapped on top of it. Hell, it doesn't even have windows.
If you even for a moment think that communist party did not have target goals for its companies just like capitalist US did, I have land on the moon to sell you.
I found Far Cry rather boring and quit it half-way. Crysis on the other hand was a great and fun game. Warhead was even better. Crysis 2 was a huge letdown after Warhead.
Just because you don't like the gameplay doesn't mean that others don't like it either. Suit and its powers was a fairly novel concept and allowed for truly multi-faceted approach. And mind you, my system ran Crysis and Warhead just fine at release, just not at max settings. Plot wasn't terrible for a pseudo sci-fi themed shooter either, the aliens actually felt like they really hated you and wanted you dead.
It's not just B-52. There are a lot of military "platform" planes that are quite aged but very functional used for a lot of various tasks.
Notably it's the same across the globe. UK still uses older frames for much of it's air force, russians still use their TU-95s extensively and so on. The planes of that period just seem really robust and functional, even by modern standards.
Facts have been largely uncovered by now. This woman is apparently a fairly well-known failure of a musician and attention whore who used "I'm being cyber stalked, the person posting a lot of nasty shit on the internet is not me"-excuse a lot of times in the past, from accusing people not giving her gigs to be nazis to not delivering on what she's been paid for and blaming it on anyone she could find that wasn't her.
Accusations found here were apparently made on anonymous account specifically created for the purpose. Same thing on reddit.
Not at all. I see a project which got spammed with active participation of a project maker. Stalking clearly has no relevance to the the ban, and is only used as an angle to attack the site by the attention whore in question.

I must have phrased it badly. That's exactly what I meant.
Err, corporate sector is private sector. He doesn't move out of private sector at any point.

Far more because there's far more interaction between humans and livestock then human and wildlife.
Unless people simply treat W8 on desktop like they did Vista, and simply stick to 7.
How do you think operators pays for those phones to manufacturer, and where that money comes from?

What most people do not know is that there was N9 with keyboard. It was called N950, and was killed into "developers only" after Elop came.
Take a look here for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U8jH_apD2k

By the same cut, Nokia is Microsoft's phone hardware arm. Because that's what Elop is smithing Nokia into.

Well, hello there ms. "I created this account today, for purposes of trolling this thread". How did that work out on reddit et al for you?
