so that different from the removal of advertising from your newspaper because you don't support a related political party? Or having to run all media content past the company lawyers before it's aired?
It is the same WiFi+4G model sold in the USA, and it will currently only work with USA 4G, AND with All/most Australian 3G networks, and I would guess that a firmware upgrade may fix the problem, in time. It isn't a dud, it's just not what people think when they first glance at it. The warning is plane sight when you go to buy on-line. I'm guessing that Apple will get a caution, and they will have to make the 4G conditions a bit more obvious. Meanwhile my local garage sells petrol cheap, oh, as I pull in the driveway I notice that I need a voucher to get the cheaper price, s_it happens.
ask not what OS is for you, ask what your OS can do. After the shine wears off it's about what you use a computer for. I play 1 on-line game, read the news, and catch up with a few people on FB. And I have have a diffrent machine for eMail. If Linux does what you want, use it, you don't have to sell it to anyone.
thanks for the baseless accusation. A quick poll around the office confirms what I have been hearing for months, average people don't think that much of him, it's as simple as that.
talking to people, reading the press, seeing how little real interest there is in him. He isn't a 'hero' in Australia. I'm pretty neutral on him and his actions, and I can't see him offering any thing of value. I am also under the impression that he had a criminal conviction for 'hacking' which, IIRC, rules him out of holding a seat in parliament.
most people in Oz see him either as a criminal, or some nutter. A senate seat requires a large number of votes across a single state, it just isn't going to happen, it's just hot air and crap.
it's technically correct, but who thought that anyone would push the point. It's a public performance, the author may be entitled to royalties, library or park bench or TV, that doesn't matter in the eyes of copy-write
I'd like to hear from the hundreds of slack journalists that passed on the original story as truth. I know that things are not great in many countries, cheap labor is the reason that they build stuff there and not anywhere else, maybe they should look at some of the sweat shops in the US and other countries too.
in 1989, when I bought my copy of EB, I was already using computer based reference material, and I pointed this stuff out to the EB salesman, he said he would ask and came back with the answer "they are looking into it". CD based reference stuff was already entering the market, and with animation and cheap updates it was obvious then that EB had to change, or die. I'd give some credit to Encarta, but only as part of a major shift towards software based reference material.
most telephone exchange and related transmission hubs use DC 12, 24 and 48VDC are standard. This isn't anything new, and data centers have always been space and power inefficient, it's the nature of the beast, and method of construction.
for the unwashed masses, handheld computing is becoming a norm, and with that market seeing little MSOS integration, it must be a kick in the pocket of MS through 'missed sales' of WinWhatever. MS will have to do some very hard work to compete as they are a couple of years behind the leaders and my guess is that they have only a few things to pin their hopes on; 1/ Hope that Nokia hardware and Windows is a hit with the public 2/ Hope that there is a painless way to develop for the desktop OS and mobile OS at the same time. 3/ Understand that for the cost of their WinOS software, people are buying whole mobile solutions from someone else.
sorry, this is pretty much known by anyone following computing at the time. It isn't news, it was done at the same time as BillG appeared at an Apple conference and got boo'ed as he appear on stage. The money was effectively a licence payment along with a promise that MS would continue to build MS-Office for Mac, although Bill was quoted that he would continue any product that still sold over a thousand units (paraphrased). I don't think Patent-troll can be used here as the things that MS were using also in use in MacOS and NeXTSTEP, etc, not the usual patent-troll action where some obscure process remains unused by it's owner until it's time to cash-in.
with people now dropping Flash, and free work-arounds available, a paid Flash experience is doomed. As for Office, if you need it, buy a Macbook Air, or similar. BTW, there are rumours of Office for iPad floating around, and an MS-Works for iPad would sell well, IMHO.
Copyright the game content, Patent the game play, give up now. Make your money with the first couple of months because that's about all the lead time you have. There are lots of people who think that ALL software should be free, and they have no conscience when it comes to pirating software.

the USA is smart, the next advanced fighter is build by a private company, so the public pays lots, buts sees nothing... oooops
There is a -1 score?

sorry, this is just saying what was going to happen anyway, a political hash to move focus away from the bad stuff.

Decade?, more like quarter century.
In Western Australia it has been suggest that all organs are harvested unless you say otherwise. interesting points of view.
and like their burgers, it's crap!

option/alt click 'restore' and you may be able to restore an old backup with your old software. You were smart, and you did do backups, didn't you?

I just don't give a damn! Why is there a /. story about screen resolution??? OFFS! a slow news category so that I can filter it out.
