... why would i need a browser when gprs is so expensive and slow?
Don't put the cart before the horse! Until there is widespread need for the speed there is no encouragement to the networks to invest in their infrasturcture. Take the internet as an example - its been slow and crap for year, but now the plebs want streaming movies broadband is breaking out all over the place...
Er, not that I feel particularly strongly either way, but if you're going to mock someone for (supposedly) not going to the link, you could at least read their post.
He said there would be 'namedropping' in the POSTS, he did not describe the commercial at all.
I wonder if the same would happen if cd's dropped to a fifth the price? You've got double the customers, so you're still making more money just not as much per customer.
Hmm, a fifth of the price, but double the customers? Sounds like a great deal, I can't see why the companies wouldn't take that up..
Someone always says this. Copyright infringement is stealing money from the pockets of those who you would have had to pay to get the media without infringing copyright. Therefore I feel entitled to use the word 'stealing'.
1. Buy all their music in my collection that is not as yet paid for, and 2. Stop sharing it -- since there is now a cost-effective and convenient way for anyone to get it for themselves.
Wow, you're gonna *pay* for your stolen goods? And you're going to stop distributing said stolen stuff?
Did Microsoft pay you for lost man-hours when your staff battled Nimda or Code Red? Didn't think so.
Insightful my ass. Did those virii come distributed with the product? Now you're going to tell me there are ABSOLUTELY NO possible security holes in open source software, ever right? Go on...
And if I don't remember, this happened befrore. Of course this is one of the biggest strenghts of the Open Source Model. Code is constantly audited, checked and corrected. If your closed source software has backdoors or trojans...well....who knows but on Open Source is easyly detected.
Yes, what a strength! Yay for open source! When Windows is released with Trojans in nobody notices! Oh, what, it never has? Oh, they check it before it's burnt to CD do they? Oh, they should adopt these open-source practices so they can release trojan-infected code for their customers to find!
Really, this is the most pathetic grabbing at strws I have seen, since, oooh, the last open source fuckup reported on slashdot. Accept, the fuckup, shutup and move on.
are all based on Symbian OS and if you can program that you won't be short of work for a while. See Symbian's web site for details. I'll let you work out how to find it.
And all the members of the panel looked at one another and then started doing the Wayne's World bow and chanting, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

So your first two points are a waste of time.

To listen to their music (for example), they charge money. If you listen to their music without paying them that money, they have lost that money.
You're an idiot, but I really can't be arsed to waste my time explaining to you why that is the case.

Bloody hell, hard luck man - how the FUCK is yours flamebait!
Free and open? Cheap Total Cost of Ownership? Do thousands of geeks look at the internals every day?

Ooooh, bad, nasty flamebait. How dare you mock open-source's lame-ass anti-MS arguments!

Fucking nerds. Jesus.
When I PGP a file, it shrinks to same or smaller than when I standard zip it. Isn't that secure / small? Or am I horribly confused?
Yes, if only someone would invent a portable computer!
Fucking hell, 'Funny' moderation hits new low.
I think you'll find that Linux users have a *choice*. Nice comparison though ha ha ha
The 7650 has a camera. I give it 12 months before half the drunk teenagers in America has nude pics of themselves posted on the net somewhere.
Please do not consider this to be legal advice.
I love the way people specift this. I can just see this guy in court now:
'But, your honour, user 'Anonymous Coward' said that.....'
