The update for the internet sharing is not available for the Quantum on AT&T(7740 iirc, I have 7720), and I've tried changing the manufacturer codes to get the Zune to kick it to me and doing the "pull the cable during update check", but it won't show up for me. I can use the modem drivers to tether, but that is easier for AT&T to track than the WMWifiRouter method, as it does not involve the dialing you need to do when you actually use it as a Windows modem.
And I clarified that I mean easy to do, rather than having to dig through the registry to do. I have my phone completely unlocked, but after digging around for methods of internet sharing, I just don't have the willpower to go through all the hoops I need to to even use it for tethering. All I really want is to set it up as an AP, like I can easily do in WM with a few registry tweaks or just use WMWifiRouter to turn it on and off on demand.
Basically, I just wish it wasn't as stupidly locked down as other modern phone OSs and want the ease of development and configuration that WM presented.
I have an LG Quantum. I like it. At the time, it was the only smartphone AT&T had that had a side-slide keyboard(sorry, the Pre keyboard is balls) other than the Pantech Crossfire, which is woefully underpowered and has an awfully small screen, despite looking pretty cool.
I like mine, I like the OS mostly, but I don't like the downgrade in features from WM6 to WP7. You have to pay for an RDP app, you cannot simply change things like backgrounds, custom ringtones, use internet sharing/tethering, etc, and the store lacks good filtering features(not that WM6 had a store, but you could just search the web, download the cab, and install it with no bullshit).
For normal day to day use, it's probably the slickest out there. The desktop, livetiles, the integration with most social media, etc is pretty cool and the interface is very intuitive while being minimalistic and uncluttered.
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, but I keep my WM6 phone around for when I want to switch sims and load up WMWifiRouter. I would have went with a different smartphone(Android, iOS, WebOS, etc) if any of them were offered through AT&T with a hardware sideslide keyboard, weren't underpowered, and had a moderately sized or bigger screen.
I think it depends on the point. If he's got Mavis Beacon and Math Blaster for linux, sure, go for it. If the point is just to give the kids a computer to dick around in, it would probably be better on an OS that will provide them better educational opportunities later on in their careers.
Vertical desktop space, displays 16:9 content perfectly(black bars that would otherwise be monitor bezels), games support it and run well(because outside of a few exceptions, mostly shit console ports, games scale to different resolutions well without problems of stretching and such), etc.
I guess a better question is why are you accepting a downgrade in resolution for what is essentially the same cost?
Which is really why if MS is that concerned they need to go first party with their own tablet like Apple rather than rely on Samsung, Acer, Asus, and others to produce quality tablets. Unfortunately, with what happened to the Courier it looks like this will never happen as it seems it's against what they want to do, but who knows.
Annoying and normal are different things. Many of the warranties up until the latter half of the last decade(I don't know what they say now, I haven't bought an LCD in ages) said that a few dead pixels were normal/acceptable and claims would only be had if you had some type of combination of all dead pixels and/or dead pixels of a certain color(in the 6-10 range).
I don't care about DPI, I care about resolution. Laptop standards have degraded. A high powered laptop now has a 1920x1080 screen where as 18 months ago they has 1920x1200. Lovely downgrade. Hurray progress?
I think you're retarded. You must be. I've run Radeons since the 8500(R200, 2001) and never had stability issues. The only card I've had to replace due to failure was a PNY GeForce 6800 GS, but PNY had a problem with cards lighting on fire, so I won't necessarily fault nV for that, though how far PNY drifted from the reference card is something I don't know.
WoW is single threaded and CPU dependent. Your video card isn't the problem, it's the processor, which is much less efficient at running single threaded operations than a single core/cpu processor.
Well, I dunno about where you live, but FIOS(Verizon) and AT&T(U-Verse) both offer PPV/On-Demand where I live... but they're okay with these kind of things because they are trying to migrate all of their customers to fiber/VOIP so they can dismantle their copper networks as soon as possible
It's not surprising that a field that intensely studies logic and reasoning(logic/truth tables are Philosophy 101) would be good at something that is completely dependent on those two skills as base skills.
Companies that make business software tend to need Trainers/Account Executives/Project Managers/whatever to actually implement the software and train the users for the entities that purchase the software. The pay may not be excellent for someone with a masters, but it's pretty solid and there are always managerial opportunities. Companies like ADP, Kronos, SAP, etc hire these types to implement their software for businesses, cities, the military, etc. I can provide some specific postings if interested, just so you can see what I'm talking about.
Keep in mind I'm reading a little between the lines assuming that her two degrees and her experience lead her towards being capable of teaching technical things to complete laymen while also being organized and capable of tailoring what needs to be done for each situation.
The idea of a prime mover has existed in the minds of very intelligent men(much more intelligent than either of us) for millennia, and the prime mover doesn't mean that there are no movers above it in level, just that it's the prime mover of this instance of reality.
Seriously. I may be privileged because of where I was born(first world and all that nonsense), but it is what it is. I live my life to be happy. I don't live my life to worry about everyone else's happiness.
Well, outsourcing and outsourcing to a foreign country are different things. Most people I know of that outsource development just outsource to small local dev houses

I take it you never watched the Super Mario Bros movie

That's what the Air is for. I expect a large display for a workhorse laptop like the MBP.
Yet it's a measly 15 inches.. but it is 16:10, so I'll give them that. It's an improvement over this 16:9 shit standard nowadays

Meh, 3840x2400 would be better. Still 16:9 compatible, but more vertical pixels.

The only ones worthwhile are directly from content publishers/producers, like Funimation.

Why would my datacenter want freaking banner ads all over it?

Maybe they'd be okay with it if Anonymous hacked terrorist websites instead of the websites of Western governments and businesses?
Not that it makes a difference. The people that have crapware can't read code.
And even better when they don't ask why the bat is round instead of flat
