    Waitwhut ? Are you telling me that it's impossible for me to format an SD card in something else than exFAT ? I can't remember ever trying, but I sure as hell am gonna try as soon as I get home.

    India comes pretty close, though, according to http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/world_population.htm#Top20 . They're only about half a US behind :-)

    "deprecate" means "strongly discourage use". Removal is the step afterwards, when you're sure nothing will break when you take it out. This may take a while - notice that windows still has emulation modes for stuff down to Win95 (and probably even DOS), even though those are long out of support.

    Oh ? They've promised to use buggy versions of my software for years on end and pay me ludicrous amounts of money for it ?

    Unfortunately, more and more data is pointing towards the former replacing the latter these days.

    They do if they're up against a multimillion dollar campain to convince you that he hasn't.

    I kinda like Obama, but I'm not directly involved, living in therestoftheworld. I guess we'll see what happens.

    From that amazon page:
    > Ward and Brownlee admit that "It is very difficult to do statistics with an N of 1. But in our defense, we have staked out a position rarely articulated but increasingly accepted by many astrobiologists."

    So, they have realised that their sample is statistically insignificant, and have thus substituted it with "everybody does it".

    Umm... 4 months + 6 months = 10 months. How do you blow that up to 24 months ?

    The only way I see, is to have 2 year's worth of customers in 6 months. If Accenture managed to do that for you, I'd not complain :-)

  24. Re:Why? on VMware's Dual OS Smartphone Virtualization Plan Firms Up · · Score: 1

    No, you're confusing two things.

    On the one hand, you have dual sim hacks ( http://mobile.brando.com/dual-sim_c0937d100?shop_by=category ) for normal phones, which do indeed require a reboot to switch between sims.

    On the other hand, there are (a limited number of) real dual-sim phones ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM#Active_dual-SIM_phones ), which allow you to receive calls from both sims, and software-select on which sim your outgoing calls are made.
