Historically they were (one of) the first to provide free dial-up. Hence the name. Then they extended to DSL with aggressive pricing
I've always been extremely happy with Free in the past. Their services and pricing are the best. Now I have to deal with Time Warner here, and I wish I was back on Free.
There is nothing wrong with having the boring, but secure, reliable but quick, phone that just works. NOTHING.
Yes there is.
There's no growth nor margin (i.e. money to be made) in the market you're describing. Believe it or not, it actually matters to RIM management and shareholders. As long as they keep making good handsets, I don't mind their ventures in the tablet market.
That's the thing. That French tax is really retarded, as you "compensate" artists (or their union, really, it does not even go to the right people), but it still doesn't make it legal for you to burn that CD or hold their MP3's on your hard drive!
Not to mention that companies which must consume a lot of HDDs (and CDs a few years back) actually pay for that BS. That law is the stupidest law ever designed.
This law is retarded.
So is the tax that the french pay on CD/HDD to compensate for artists losses.
So is a lot of filesharing/copyright "protection" enforcement.
But let's not forget it's illegal to download a song or movie you didn't pay for.
Yes, I know, movie studios are producing movies without scenarios, music labels are abusing artists, blah blah blah. We've heard this before.
But is "ok let's download their stuff, that will teach'em a lesson" the appropriate response? Really? I fail to see the logic here. I'd much rather punish them as consumers usually do, by not buying their sh*t. Not by "stealing" from them (yes, that's stealing, even if bits aren't really tangible (well, they are, but you know what I mean)).
Yes, I am aware this post will be modded down into oblivion as "music and movies, just like information, want to be free".
Disapora doesn't look too bad now...

It's not only tablets. Try to efficiently draw a diagram or reproduce a table on a laptop/tablet.
If you want to write your thesis, fine, use either one. But if you study science or any other topic where notes are not only pure text, it's bound to be very limited.
You may have to consider the cost (CPU+power) of your i7 vs the improvements you actually get. I typically throttle my i7 920 from 2.6GHz to 1.6Ghz in the summer to avoid heat (and also cut down on my power consumption).
I absolutely love launching make -j32, but it is rare. If you're a developer in the OpenOffice.Org team, it could make sense though.
What matters is that age is not an excuse for a lack of feature. The firewall in windows sucked and still has a long way to go to match what a linux user had 12 years ago.
Actually I have. Thunderbird downloaded roughly 3GB (which took some time). Then I tried to use it. Still slow. Doesn't beat the web experience for me:/

flamebait? really?
there is no room in this world for vigilantes
Oh noes! I wanted so bad to enjoy their ultra fast network here in NYC...
if only there were also fewer of those commercials :/
I also keep in touch with my loved ones on my computer.
Just not in the same way...

A way for people to post their "opinions" and actually think it matters to the entire planet.

That woman on the picture. How she has that bra on her face. I've been doing that for years!

Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya;

And if you actually make it really tiny, you could call it the iPad Shuffle
Because it has a cost if you do it properly.
And the gain on top of your point-of-entry firewall is only marginal.
Wikipedia mentions a pre-version in 1998.
What matters is that age is not an excuse for a lack of feature. The firewall in windows sucked and still has a long way to go to match what a linux user had 12 years ago.
Windows XP is a 12 year old product?
Also, how is age relevant? ipchains/iptables is 12 years old, and supports this very basic functionality.
... until it leaks again, I guess.
Linux on their Sun hardware? I though Oracle was supposed to be optimized for Solaris?
Maybe it wasn't a jab at all?
Seriously, a bunch of kids from NYU... what did you expect?
It's not a bad thing though, as long as people are willing to constructively collaborate on the project.
