I had a flip phone for a long time. A simple tracphone that was indestructable. I still have it in a drawer but sadly I was seduced by a quadcore arm processor with a 1080p screen and 4g LTE data. I stuck a 64gb card in it and I have endless entertainment everywhere I go. I can sit for hours now in a hospital emergency waiting room and never be bored. Fuck, I hardly ever call anyone, it's a portable computer that makes calls occasionally.
I looked at some windows phones out of curiosity and I have to admit they seemed okay. I didn't care much for the layout but I'm sure some of that is the fact I've been using Android. That said though, I hate microsoft so I'd never buy one even if it was like "the shit." I like iPhones better than Android and wanted to buy one but no SD card and no battery access is a deal killer so I've always used Android in spite of having Mac computers.
My wife and I both had Samsung Note 3 phones. Hers was constantly fucked up. I was forever having to straighten it out. Eventually she bitched so much I swapped phones with her. Now her phone is fucked up all the time. Want to guess why? It's simple really, some people are not technologically adept. My wife is smart as shit at some things but give her a piece of electronics and it'll fuck up. This includes direcTV remotes and the CD player in the car and....everything.
They make a lot more from the sale of Android phones than windows phones. They should just give up and start making apps for Androids. They're a fucking software company after all. A shitty one but a software company. Maybe they should stick with what they know.
The engine isn't the only thing that needs development. The fastest military aircraft in the US inventory was the SR-71. It flew so fast that it was difficult to service due to the heat build up in flight. It would contract and expand a large amount due to heating as well. The air frame and control services are a challenge. To maintain a safe mach 7 aircraft is not a trivial matter. Particularly in a commercial aircraft where the risks that military pilots are willing to take are totally unacceptable.
This happens with.22 ammo as well. Some asshole keeps going by the local walmart and buying all the.22 ammunition and every time I go by they tell me it sold out the day before. They've got.45,.44, 9mm and 5.56 but no fucking.22! Of all the shit to run out of.
Well it was out but they ran out and haven't made any in a while. Supposedly they added something to it when they restarted production but I don't know what the new feature is.
The fact that they run 64 bit doesn't mean it's all rosy. I remeber back when x86 went 64 bit it was quite a while before you could tell any real difference.
We had Al Jazeera news station on DirecTV until around the time AT&T bought them and it disappeared. I watched it just out of curiosity one day thinking it would be really anti America but I found it to be about the straightest plain reporting of any of the news outlets. They just reported the news, all the news. I was amazed at the stuff that never came on any other news station. I looked some of it up on the net just to see if it was actual stuff that happened. I think a lot of the bias in the US mainstream media comes not from what they report but from the stuff they just ignore.
I am a conservative and I could give a shit less what Facebook allows or doesn't allow on their shitty system. I deleted my account there years back because they wanted to plant their creepy little fingers in everything I had. If anyone seriously uses Facebook for their news that's their problem. Anyone that stupid is clueless anyway.
I had a facebook account for about 2 years. I got it mainly to stay connected to family and friends but it got to be so fucking tiresome. It's a steaming pile of shit and I finally deleted my account. A nice byproduct was that 90 percent of my SPAM disappeared along with it. I still have twitter and it has an acceptable amount of crap with it so I guess I'll hang onto it for now.
They don't need to. MS office has enslaved millions to the banner of Redmond. They're victims of vendor lock-in with no way to free themselves. The effort, expense and time required to change is worse than the entire effort to change from inches and pounds to the metric system in the US and with more justifiability. Don't hate them, pity them.
It means the money people are starting to get on board. At least some of them. I suspect a lot of others will be much more reluctant. I'm loving this election. I thrive on Chaos and thanks to Bernie and Donald it's been great so far.
Their, there and they're. One of the finest examples of why people despair of learning English as a second language. People born to it can't even handle it.

Not if you're not making money on them. Of course microsoft can afford to lose money just about forever so I guess in a way you are right.

No....no, it's not. Never.
2 space shuttles bit the dust.

laugh now, that day is coming. Information is power and you better know they wish they'd never let the computer age happen the way it did.

Actually they're supposed to have the new Pi Zero out now. It supposedly has some new feature but I haven't heard what.
I used an original B model for 2 years running XBMC. I moved on to a Pi 2 and relegated the old B model to surveillance cam duty.
Given it's limitations I'm constantly amazed at what it can do.
The most common cause is a weak or flaky power supply. MCM Electronics sells a nice 2.4 Amp supply for a 6 dollars.

I've got 6 of them and I've had zero power problems.

Well you twist the truth then complain when he does it too. Kettle meet black.
He could just be a Hillary supporter. They're hating that he keeps making their candidate earn the nomination instead of just having a coronation.
