  1. Re:No issue with my Lumia 920 on Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags · · Score: 1

    "most people I've seen have had the issue that they've been unreliable shit". That's not an issue. And the SD card was a different poster. You haven't posted any actual issue. No one else in the comments has posted an actual issue, although one person had to change out a battery. So far, three others in the comments have said theirs worked flawlessly or faultlessly. Since my small business relies in part on Samsung Android phones, I've got good reason to point out when someone is clearly lying in order to denigrate the product in hopes of promoting their own product (HTC or whatever it is that you shill for).

    Which other anecdotal evidence? One guy appears to maybe have an SD card problem. Several others say no troubles.

    Not sure what your problem is with Samsung, but mine has been incredibly stable.

    Samsung here - no such problems. AC is a liar as far as I can tell.

    4G is included. And Sprint 3G is pretty good in Austin - I've streamed a bunch of TV programs, radio, etc.

    What happens if you leave Austin?

    It's nationwide. Sprint network has a bunch of great deals. My daughter has iPhone 4s with unlimited data/text/calling for $50 a month

    Agreed - Office 2007 working fine here. LibreOffice 3.5 is working fine for me, but there's no way in hell I would use OOo 3.2.1 in 2012 on a production machine.

    I'm an American, and I ate about 12 Twinkies in my entire lifetime, all before the age of 16. Think I'll drop over dead at any moment? Hilarious that Euros with their disgusting teeth and b.o. problems are always on /. talking about how "unhealthy" those "horrible" Americans are -- OH NO!!!

    Heinlein would have wanted Rasczak's Roughnecks to have 85 times normal strength for their exoskeletons. Still need some pocket nukes though. And some giant bugs to kill.

    Raise your children to talk wrong. Remember also to teach them, "mambo dogface to the banana patch" means "can I go to the bathroom"? You'll get hours of laughs when you send them off to school for the first time.

  20. Flat stock price for how many years now? on Sinofsky Dismisses Trying To Take Over Windows Phone, Developers · · Score: 1

    MS's sunk costs in its traditional product lines and costs to maintain hundreds of millions of licensees are probably too large to be truly innovative. Just seems like MS already have seen a bunch of execs come through who were going to "re-invigorate" the company and make it compete in the "post-pc" world. I think the company would be better off taking better care of its existing customer base, and extending support for products like XP for a much longer period. Maybe roll out paid service packs for products like XP and Server 2003 that make them more secure and compatible with newer hardware.

    My friends in China are not "hipsters" who want the most popular item, nor are they "cheap". They want cool new functionality - the latest cutting edge stuff. Not going to find it on any other platform except Android right now.
