If I just want to rent a DVD, I will go pay a buck twenty at a redbox. If I go to a rental store, I am automatically paying 3 to 5 times in premium for the same service that a vending machine provides... why would I pay even more for some arbitrary service when you really should be kissing ass for even having me as a customer in the first place?
being close to a pc hardly has anything to do with anything, its not like these devs are sitting down twiddling bits in asm, they are using.NET with a target selected
With all the bullshit pictures on the linked site, one would think there would be an image of the fucking watch... so I watched the video where bubbly mc blonde flaps along for a min and nothing.
can someone show the god damned watch already? how ornate is a watch before the bullshit squad get your face on the news?
it is about a decade behind in many areas it cant handle massive spreadsheets it totally borks formatting and color when reading / writing MS office files
it is perfectly fine when your going from screen to paper, personal or internal use and dont need all the features with no cost
but like a tractor, its fine when your on your own land, but take it out on the road, and let everyone else interact with it... its just going to piss people off
I have a shit ton of memory, I have a fast system, what compelling reason do I have to buy yet another OS, I dont even like using JUST to play some DX9 XBOX360 ports?
I switched to mint back when all the ubuntu retardedness started, v9 was actually pretty good... then in 10 things started breaking. Had to provide my own xorg.conf to set a standard 1280x1024 resolution, panels would insta-crash on boot, and wanted to delete themselves and rebooting your linux machine 2 or 3 times to get full functionality wore thin in a matter of days.
11 didnt fix anything, but gave me scrollbars that auto hid, 12 gave us gnome3 but with dual menu systems, gnome 3's and mints which broke half the time I tried. thats about the time I said F it, its a nice system when it works, but it seems to be very fragile and since I am not a linux nerd I just want to turn on the machine and get shit done... not fiddle with the OS constantly
the last 3 versions of mint have been nothing but a headache to me, good luck to you mint, but I am done riding this bus of half broken, poorly executed, mess
I have administrated a VB fourm and I honestly have never seen one single thing that made it stand out OTHER than the fact that it cost money, and its equals were free.
CMS? yup Support? man those SMF guys have that nailed Hard to integrate? not any worse than VB, your going to have to edit a file sometime Features? out of the box yea VB, addons no, not even close
no, it means its warrantied until they stop making it, and its impossible for them to replace it.
most consumer electronics companies are required to keep parts 3 years.
When I had to deal with it, we had a few irate calls a month cause someone bought a digital piano in 1989 and could not get replacement parts in 2009 when it shat on itself.
sorry, no... I dont owe them anything, and they dont owe me anything. They had a good product that I used frequently and now (IMO) they dont so I dont use it. I tried expressing my opinion and they felt that not only mine, but the majority of peoples opinion was worthless, and they keep steam-rolling down this path on something that pretty much everyone but you seem to dislike.

no, I just think learning a specific syntax for something as simple as a fucking page of text and a picture or two is retarded
its just the method that has changed

...and keep the elitist in control, otherwise they would no longer have that one and onlything they dont suck at, and might go do something rash.

wow, what fantasy land do you live in?
no it didnt, but it illustrates the point, where the fuck are you going to get electronics that ceased to be in production 20 + years ago?
