You can't say it's the users fault. In my friend's situation the previous owner of the number was the one in control of whether he received his messages, not him.
Well its the other guy's fault for not deregistering his number. In your friend's case he needs to let Apple know. What I'm saying is it isn't Apple's fault they have no way of knowing the change took place.
Nokia has always been a low end vendor. This is where Nokia's culture and Microsoft's culture diverge. There is no value for Microsoft in the low end at all. I just don't see Windows Phone going there.
Google's Android strategy is down market. Google's hardware strategy is a show device that they don't push for large sales number but demonstrates the operating system.
You mean not allowing Windows 8 on non-touch laptops?
Yes. Or requiring an external digitizer (i.e. typical artist setup).
. Issue was that the whole experience of working w/ Windows was totally overhauled.
Exactly. The experience is both different and worse on non-touch equipment.
Oh, and also, the trackpad was too sensitive, and there wasn't a good way of disabling it.
I've seen that before with Macs. You may want to see if your battery overheated, expanded and pushed the trackpad slightly. That might be a hardware issue and not Windows at all.
I might try Windows 10 on a Surface Pro
That's the right way to test it.
The smoother form factor is certainly worth a bit more, but not >$1k more.
You might want to look at some other options with touch screen. I really like the Surface pro as a secondary device as a primary there is no way to get enough computer in that small a form factor at a reasonable cost. OTOH I'm running an almost $3k rMBP as my primary.
a) Should Debian fork I.E. should a child distribution of Debian be created which is designed to support initd. I haven't heard anyone object to that. It is a weird sort of threat since the systemd people are in favor of it. That's a fine escalation. IMHO the vast majority of the anti-systemd people are system admins not developers so they don't have the right technical skills to pull off what they want long term but I see no harm and lots of benefit in them creating the bridge software over the next few years to keep this alive.
b) Have the anti-systemd people proposed a reasonable solution for Debian (a distribution remember) to handle upsteam developers making systemd mandatory or the primarily supported system? That is have the anti-systemd people addressed the reason the systemd people within Debian believe their proposals aren't viable. The answer is no. The anti-systemd don't have an answer that Debian can implement. They are frustrated and trying to make this personal because they don't have a technical solution to a problem. Which is the kind of BS behavior IT people see from business management all the time.
c) Should Linux move towards process management? This is a philosophical question about system design that goes very deep. If many pieces of key software are written to expect a process manager to be in place and that process manager gets more complex general server / desktop Linux is going to be much more complex than it used to be. This gets to the system design philosophy. Advanced process management systems have been used for decades in mainframes, in mini computers, in many of the commercial Unixes, in most PaaS environments, in OSX (a desktop Unix)... The systemd people are saying "it is time to introduce process management as the default". And that absolutely is another large complex piece of software. But it isn't fundamental. The Linux kernel is monolithic. XWindows is monolithic. Moreover good process management allows for better microservices so offering a richer userspace it will allow more of the applications downstream to "do one thing and do it well" i.e. microservices architecture.
Sorry to see you going. Online harassment has always been a big problem but it seems to be getting epic lately. I think it is time to start applying stalking laws and other such measures to these campaigns. There is a difference between disagreeing and virtual violence.
Debian is not going to die because of systemd. The people who object to systemd are a rather niche group. And I should mention the contradiction here, XFree86 (I assume you mean X.org if you actually mean XFree86 that is nothing like Gnome or Debian that was just a personal argument more than anything) isn't exactly irrelevant given that the FreeDesktop group is the group that pushed through systemd.
MS needs to sink even more cash into a non-existing market: Windows phones.
Of course the market is small. They aren't denying that. They are trying to grow it, which is why they are "sinking cash" into it.
Ain't gonna change anytime soon.
I don't know that. You don't know that. Android is 5 years old. The focus of Android is down market. The focus of Apple is very up market. I can see an obvious gap developing of the next 5 years at the mid price points. Other possibilities are more corporate oriented devices moving away from BYOD.
No precisely because they didn't require people to use the right hardware so they had a bad experience. Windows 8 is really good on hardware designed for Windows 8. Had they not allowed Windows 7 hardware to run Windows 8, not treating it like an upgrade for existing systems there wouldn't have been this backlash.
Well the best way to put it is the man gets 2 3 letter acronyms reserved for him among all mathematicians. Éléments de géométrie algébrique (EGA) and Séminaire de géométrie algébrique (SGA).

I worked for a company that had a good solution for that. Project managers reported to either managers or directors. Program managers handled much larger assignments and reported to VPs, SVPs, C-level... They had tremendous juice and the fact they got assigned sent a "I want to get this done" message from the executive level down to middle management. Program managers were generally chosen from directors or VPs. So this offered a way for them to demote people who had risen up to middle management and weren't cut out for it, while still retaining their skills. At the same time it made use of the contacts and skills they had developed at the director / VP level. It also wasn't so face losing as a pure demotion would be.
Little room for innovation in phones? Given the speed of improvement what would lots of innovation look like to you? Me thinks your expectations need to be reset a tad.
ASM = control your SAN volume manager from within the database Real Application Testing = simulate workloads Data Guard = pass databases offsite automatically as it is running Flashback = roll the database back to a arbitrary earlier points in time Index key compression Cluster tables = prejoin table and index partitioning = gigantic tables that go across disks and systems oracle vault = complex permissions for data with varying level of access that even dbas shouldn't have access to
If you look at the list of candidates in the 2008 Democratic primary with the exception of Dennis Kucinich the dems picked the one most hostile to corporate interests.
You want more serious change, it is the primary not the general it has to happen. And of course congressional and senatorial elections.
That's true. Though they are already cross platform and supposedly getting more so. But you do have a good point. Open source server doesn't mean nearly as much if the client is closed and the client is the main advantage.
Well Apple would love it if the carriers would just tell them when a number gets assigned to a new phone. But Apple doesn't know. It isn't that the carriers have to do it, or Apple doesn't care, but that the carriers don't want to incorporate Apple into their workflow.
In the end it is a computer, garbage-in garbage-out. Someone has to take responsibility to maintain correct account informaiton If users don't care to do it, then obviously they don't care about messages going to the wrong people or not getting delivered.
Digia doesn't have the money to keep Qt up where it was. Cocoa is 100% entirely Apple. GTK never really worked all that well outside Linux. Java applications are well out of favor and Oracle isn't throwing much money at it..NET is the most widely used widget set in the world, it faces no meaningful competition. Why wouldn't it be the cross platform standard almost instantly?
Well if email had not been a broad standard all sorts of systems could have been put in place to control spam. Skype for example doesn't have a serious spam problem as it is harder to fake accounts and you can refuse messages from anyone who you don't first invite. Something that's not possible with email.
It did start to happen. Firefox gained share. Internet Explorer's share has been going up as it got better. But certainly there was a point during the end of the IE6 / IE7 era when share was dropping rapidly and people did switch.
What does that even mean? What function does that setup serve? I can't even see the use case here. The phone number being associated allows the sender to fallback to SMS if they are trying to message you and they can't get data. It is a feature.
Yes. Apple doesn't allow all possible combinations that are conceivable.
If you are going to submit stories you need to get an account. You wrote things like "Larry page", proof read. You also should have used an article with more editorial stance and content. There isn't enough there to get a conversation going.
So you could have listed the who Vodafone, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, Orange, Telenor and TeliaSonera,Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Liberty. I was surprised to see Vodafone, Orange and Alcatel-Lucent on the list. They all have their own closed communications platforms. For Alcatel-Lucent they make a lot of money on licensing fees do they really want to open that? Sounds more like they want competitors regulated if they are signing the list.
The part about US internet companies earning billions with services that are prohibited under European conventions. What do they want the EU to do about it? The EU has already passed the convention it is now time for the countries to pass the laws.
"Furthermore, the American giant should contribute to the cost for network expansion in Europe." Why should they do that? I get why they would like to tax companies but heck why not tax Florida Orange juice while you are at it.
Because we have a email standard we still have spam two decades after it started becoming a problem. Thank you I'll take no standard and faster improvement. Email has been a disaster of a model.
As for the web the proprietary layer is the plugins and how stuff renders on different browsers. And yes that's still broken.
They aren't doing damage control they are releasing a utility. There hasn't been any damage to Apple. There have been a bunch of Android users screaming about Apple hijacking SMS and not understanding how iMessage works.
Second, the sender incidentally does know to do something because his messages are going to be marked as queued but not delivered to any device. So the sender will be notified of a delivery failure. They will make their own choice what to do when messages are obviously getting through to Apple but not getting through to the recipient. The have the option to send via. SMS directly when they see this status.
And finally, the recipient has other ways to rectify the situation. Changing the setting on a phone was one of the ways, the what they were specifically told to do. Screwing that up and not knowing anyone with a Mac to fix it is starting to move from edge case to ridiculous case, a user who is being deliberately obtuse. But they still offered a website for it and while there were a half dozen articles if the user Googled on how to fix the problem some people through the website was obtuse. Of course there was also tech support who could do it. And now to the 1/2 dozen ways to fix the problem they offer some utility. That's all that's happened.
Users were being obtuse and shooting themselves in the foot. Android fans were lying about the situation. Apple released one more way to handle the problem.

Good catch AC! That was a joke at his expense. He shouldn't be getting the credit as it was a positive thing.
Well its the other guy's fault for not deregistering his number. In your friend's case he needs to let Apple know. What I'm saying is it isn't Apple's fault they have no way of knowing the change took place.

What I'm talking about is an interface designed around touch that is somewhat counter intuitive on non-touch based systems.
