But you don't want to mess up the sensationalistic summary with facts do you?
All quite true 'the protocol is free' comments aside, they did buy brand recognition, which is a pretty powerful tool and can work for us, or against us depending on what Cisco has planned.
I do tend to agree at least its upfront and not some back room shenanigans of arbitrary packet shaping ( or like i got once, ' you have exceeded the limits ', when there is no posted limit in the contract anywhere.. after asking for this new mythical limit so i could comply they finally backed down ' there really isn't a limit, but yo used too much, so use your own judgment and be reasonable' -- wtf? )
Now that said, I disagree with 250g being the limit, and i'm 100% against them canceling your service if you go over 2x within 6 months. There are other less anti-customer ways to address people going over the limit once in a while.
Oh, and not offering any way to monitor the use is not good customer service either. " go google it" was basically their response.
They always arrive late to the party, but when you can buy small countries and outlast everyone else, does it matter if you are late as long as you show?
In theory it also lets you learn from others mistakes.
For those that thought adding red-light cameras were 'innocent' and laughed at us who said it would be expanded to become a basic realtime surveillance too i hope you feel stupid.
Well, aside from the fact WINE is NOT emulating, ever think you need to run an application that is ONLY available on Windows?
Happens all the time in business. You can rant and rave all you want about alternatives or boycotting, or demanding a *nix port, but the reality is you have your business to attend too.
Sure, still push for that alternative, but you still gotta be running TODAY, not someday, and WINE can often do that for you and still let you ditch Windows along the way..
Slashdot Mirror
Or even clips of mailcall. Or any war documentary.
Its also my right to no longer do business with them.
Idiots.
Just dont boot a GUI with *nix.
PicoBSD
FreeDOS

Sounds like the marketing guys got to answer to the FCC.

*Very* few windows apps you mean. Especially now since mainstream embedded windows is on embedded XP now.
Well of course intel wants you to burn your machines up early. They get to sell you the replacement.
I think eric3/4 with the appropriate plugins will do what you are asking.
And defending yourself always looks good to the judge who ends up thinking you are a pompus ass.
The old saying about having a fool for a client isn't just hot air.
I disagree they are trying to paint IP infringement like theft.
If you shoplift a CD you often just get yelled at by security and sent home. Being fined 250grand or IP fraud is a bit worse, more like manslaughter.
Right? Please tell me it is...
Because its so well documented internally you don't need an external reference guide.
so yes, if you are needing more answers then Microsoft provides with their shipped MSDN, you should be looking elsewhere for another simpler language.
( yes, this was sarcasm for the mod-nazis )
Ever think about going to the main site for the language and looking at their data sources?
You go try that and see how fast you get detained.

And yet people just roll over.

Free beer still tastes the same.
Its playable only on devices you own.
Sounds like the 'home domain' thing from the RIAA earlier in the week, but with a more palatable marketing spin for the average joe.
Fiesta would cause people with a memory of the 80's to run in the other direction.
And this is a reason not to sell it here? Lots of cars run diesel. Most eery large truck does. Its available everywhere.
What are they thinking?
Now that a lot of us are capped on our use, is Microsoft going to reimburse us somehow for wasting our service?
Did he get a cool car out of the deal too?
Asking for a bit of proof of your skills isn't disrespectful. Or do you consider every school in the nation being disrespectful?
Now it can get out of hand and then i would also walk, but the idea of having to prove your competent isn't unreasonable.
