If it can be rolled without breaking for 1000 times, it will last only little more than two years, maybe three when you can limit it to one view per day. I want to use devices for at least 10 years.
I visited MS campus about 15 years ago and at the time they were fond of claiming that the Chinese government was actively pirating MS software for distribution and resale. They even went so far as to say that they owned the equipment necessary to duplicate their holographic license stickers to produce physical pirated copies for resale outside the country.
Yes, indeed they have. I purposely chose my previous phone because it (a) was on VZW, (b) had Bluetooth, (c) had analog in addition to digital. The V710 was made in the 2004-2005 range.
I really can't believe the TS1000 didn't win, hands down. The article does a good job of describing the pain involved in typing on this thing - membrane, flat, nearly no throw or feedback, and tiny. And programming on it was just awful. While the article mentions that when programming in basic you use a wacky series of modifiers and single keys to put in a basic instruction, but what it doesn't point out is that wasn't just a shortcut - you *have* to do it that way. You can't just type in "print", you *have* to use ctl-alt-shift-p or whatever the combination was. Effectively, the BASIC interpreter didn't have to tokenize, because it made the programmer do it.
Incidentally, I still have the TS1000, as well as another on the list, the MC-10. They keyboard on the MC-10 is MUCH better and, as I recall[0], the BASIC shortcuts were indeed shortcuts rather than tokens.
[0]: It has probably been 15 years since I used either of these machines, so hopefully I'm not mixing up which one made you use the shortcuts and which one didn't.
IMAP supports server-side search, so it could be plenty fast (since Google/GMail would actually be doing the search). What I don't know, though, is whether any IMAP clients actually support that or if they all just sync up all the emails and search locally.
Alright, what moron moderated this as -1 redundant? My comment is #19238413 (11:57AM), and the first other one is #19238705 (12:09PM) which would make *that* one redundant, not mine.
And I was going to make whoever it was King of the Winter Carnival...
As TFA notes, MS certainly isn't getting out of the TV and STB business, only the relatively trivial software that just shows you guides and changes the channel for you. Their software is being used by a disturbingly high number of IPTV installations, so the chances that MS software will be ruining your (wired) TV experience is only going up.

This sounds like an Onion-perpetrated prank to continue their "Romney not giving up just because he lost the election" schtick.

Indeed.
Maybe they'd have the record for the second one, though.
Surely they could do better than just 95% pure!
Listen Jerry. Bania's voice is the voice of a new generation. My generation.
Look, I live Seinfeld's standup and the series, but he's not exactly cutting edge anymore and not a great way to combat the Get a Mac ads.
...you're going to have a lot of things forced into place.
I have to agree, especially after we caught you naked with that bowl of Jell-O.
Yes, indeed they have. I purposely chose my previous phone because it (a) was on VZW, (b) had Bluetooth, (c) had analog in addition to digital. The V710 was made in the 2004-2005 range.
Indeed. Oops.

If websites are the "rooms" in that skit, Slashdot comments are obviously the "abuse" room.

Yes, I sure hope that I won't have to deal with massive memory usage anymore: http://moore.cx/images/firefox.png
