Not lately, I took the CCNA a year ago, and not only is the test delivered over the internet, but they video you taking the test, and ship it all back to cisco for "validation" before you're actually certified.
Except the loudest cheers where not when the cars were in sight, but when the crash began, including a loud "Ooooh, there we go!" from someone close to the camera.
Not all windows 7 drivers "work" on windows 8. I have a creative X-FI sound card that works flawlessly on Win7, on 8 it stutters and freezes up some apps....
Old SCO was pretty classy, they had their "Free license" Unixware 7 advertized on their site, but you had to pay for a "media kit" for about $100. Being a poor uppity teenager, I emailed them asking where I could download the media in order to take advantage of their free license. They asked for my address.
Three days later I had a DHL shipped media kit box with over 20 discs in total. I was sad to see them sell Unixware off.
Five words for you, bucko. "There's an app for that."
They advertized it because it was much requested. That's not evidence that without them they would lose.
Without apps, no platform can survive.
Sure, if an iphone or an ipod touch were just blank slate iOS running handheld computers without any functionality, but this is not the case. These products were not designed or meant to be platforms, they were meant to be fully functional, out of the box devices.
The internet is already paid for. Every home user and business pays their ISP, every small ISP pays their upstream, every large ISP pays to run their lines and to peer, etc.
Advertising on the internet is a huge assumption. It is assumed that people will:
1. See the ads. 2. Click on them if they're interested. 3. Buy product if they're interested.
There is no obligation for anyone to do any of these. No contract, written, social, or otherwise, requires people to even see the ads, and as this failed business model dwindles, companies have started tracking users and harvesting information as a business model, simply because they can.
Where do these overblown assholes get off telling us it's the Economic Foundation of the Internet?
It looks to be exactly the same principle, with the exception of the "pumping tube" on the bike one being on the outside circumference of the tire, and on the inside circumference on the car one.
All I've seen is a max a 14 minute trailer. Is this supposed to be the whole movie? 5 million dollars to create a terrible trailer? The movie probably doesn't even exist.
Windows 7 was the nail in the coffin, if Windows 7 wasn't as good as it is, and another Vista stinker was pooped out of Redmond then Linux possibly may have had a chance.
It literally just dropped in price between the time I first posted and now. I checked www.battlefield.com for the price right before I hit post on my original... wow.

I know that call center employees for a certain big name computer maker that rhymes with Hell do, and I'm pretty sure that call center employees for another big name computer maker that uses initials before the letters I and Q do. So why not retail personnel for Apple?
Move everything to userspace, and use an existing driver, or a very small open driver, to access the card. There should be no reason, even if they're crying "trade secrets" for this to happen. If nouveau can do it, and they're not crying trade secrets over it, then nvidia proper can do it too.

Sure, if you want to swear at my closed door all day, by all means, I'll be in the living room though, watching TV.
Cameras don't combat crime. They don't prevent crime, they don't deter criminals, they don't allow police to stop perpetrators.
They are evidence after the fact, and a really easy way for the government to spy on you.

Nice try though.
... Violating the law out of respect for those injured.
What a bunch of rednecks.

But since WINE is not an emulator, you still need an x86 processor to run it and x86 programs....
If manufacturers could sell through dealerships they owned, they would own every dealership.
Would they?
Apple has their own stores, but they aren't the only place to buy Apple products.
And who cares if they were? What's wrong with companies selling their own products retail if they want?
Slightly off topic but I'd like to share it:

You're talking about iOS, I'm talking about iOS devices, and yes, the iphone and the ipod touch would still be hits without third party apps.
Five words for you, bucko. "There's an app for that."
They advertized it because it was much requested. That's not evidence that without them they would lose.

Apple was peddling toasters, not OS/2.
There's no evidence for that. They competed, and won, against devices which did allow native apps to run when apple didn't.
This is a great excuse, until you realise that Apple's strength is derived from the applications others have written for it.
Not so, actually. iOS devices were hits before they even allowed native apps to run on them.

yea OMFG wait, by Christmas it will be in the sub 30$ bin at walmart and still have thousands of players.
Will it? BF3 came out Oct 2011 with a price of $59.99 (in Canada). It's been in the wild for 9 months. The price is still $59.99.
