    Many BMWs from 2000 or so have built in Startac phones... how useless are these now?

    Maybe you need to look again.

    And everyone who isn't as cool as you can easily rip a CD in moments to a lossless audio codec and throw out that optical disk and still have spent less
    on the album than a itunes purchase.

    Looks like I can get the CD NEW from Amazon for many of these albums cheaper than itunes sells the download version... disconnect much

    AC/DC aren't Metal. Never have been. They are rock or hard rock. No matter what anyone says.

    This is not entirely true. You can vote in Australian elections if you are not a citizen of Australia, British subjects on electoral rolls before 1984 must vote there.

    To open Microsoft Office Word 2007 .docx or .docm files with Microsoft Office Word 2003, Word 2002, or Word 2000, you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats and any necessary Office updates. By using the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, you can open, edit some items, and save Office Word 2007 documents in previous versions of Word.

    Word 2003 still works just fine...

    Most home users barely use many of the features of these tools to begin with, they won't see the value of paying $100 a year for this. That's a lot of money to many people.

  12. Re:Apps have to scale down. on Fragmentation Comes To iOS · · Score: 1

    why would they accept an app that did not work on both sizes of iPhone?

    To force people to buy a newer one maybe

  13. Re:It's not the same issue. on Fragmentation Comes To iOS · · Score: 1

    So, when the iphone apps that are pushed for the larger screen first are unable to scale down to the smaller screen iphone, how is that not a problem?
    There will be apps that are for the original screen size, the new screen size and the ipad. That seems somewhat fragmented to me.

    I have a couple of installs that are 32 bit, one that has been upgraded from a 333 MHz Mobile Pentium II (Thinkpad) to a Core 2 E7400, upgraded from Potato through squeeze. Only using 3GB of RAM so I haven't gone through the motions to move it to 64 bit yet.
