I guess that gives a literal meaning to the term "pirate radio" eh?
It seems to be a generational thing.
This is radio clash on pirate satellite

I've got to wonder, just what the damned hell is everybody doing that causes this?
It's yet another corner case identified by Bill Hilf's labs.
They identify what they consider an exploitable flaw (exploitable as in FUD, not cracking), then pass that along to the evangelism teams with a script to be parroted at every opportunity. That's why these "Firefox ate my memory" whines are so predictable - they're scripted by Microsoft marketing.
Then buy one that does what you want and leave the cool stuff to the rest of us.
This comment pops up in EVERY damned discussion of advanced phones and it's ALWAYS moderated insightful by mods with more points than sense. It is NOT insightful. It is nothing more than a statement of personal taste by someone with luddite tendecies.
Phones already exist for luddites. This discussion is not about those phones. If you want to discuss those phones go and find somewhere else to discuss them, or submit an article of your own to the Firehose.
Why does this Microsoft fanboy crap consistently get modded up.
Because Microsoft employs evangelism teams, including blog readers and commenters.
Make a comment on any tech site, and you'll see the script come out - that's why you're seeing the typical "comment raising edge case identified in Bil Hilf's lab/cascade of compliments for Windows" spew forth here. There's always an identical pattern to every discussion of OS installs, or any other topic MS wants to hijack.
The interesting change is that, now, rather than buying the best company in a market they want to enter, they are failing to buy the second-best.
It's also interesting that the buying focus doesn't appear to creating new products for sale, but on strategic purchases to fight off competitors.
In response to Google's release of Android, Microsoft have just bought Danger inc. Now, there's no doubt Windows Mobile is unrelable and clunky, and could use significant improvement, but it looks like there's more to the acquisition than having Danger contribute to WM7. The guy who kicked off Android also started Danger, so perhaps Microsoft is trying to acquire any of his early IP which might be useful as a lever against Google if they're successful with Android.
Yeah, I understand Microsoft's gouging Europeans too.
Newegg doesn't ship to Australia, though some US online sellers do, and you can save some money that way, though not a lot. That's fine for geeks, but when my niece believed the advertising and bought Home Premium from Officeworks for AU$459, it was a big burn for her.
It hurt even more a month later when she had to admit it was awful, and reverted to XP.

Modded "Informative"?
Look, I know it's de rigeur for posters not to read TFA, but if you're going to moderate, at least TRY to understand what's going on.
This point was addressed specifically in the article;
90 percent of respondents are planning to increase or keep the same (very healthy) level of investment in open source.Clearly, if the projects weren't working out, we'd see this number come in much lower.
I've open-sourced my Linux shirts.
Just copy the text below into a word-processor, scale it up to your shirt size, and print it onto the shirt.

No, you can browse their site without it.

I'm not uber-rich yet, but when I get there, I want my minions to have RFID tags as well as silver lycra bodysuits.
It's a style thing.

No, your response here is proof that you've accepted his existence, at last as well as you're capable of accepting it.
On a side note, a good sig for you might be "Those who don't read Descartes are condemned to recreate him. Badly".
They're tightly wound?

Then use OpenLaszlo.
OpenLaszlo programs are written in XML and JavaScript and transparently compiled to Flash and, with OpenLaszlo 4, DHTML.You clearly need to read the canonical guide to sysadmin ethics.
Yahoo Finances is a sophomoric Microsoft basher? Who knew?
You must work in marketing.
I don't get it.
520s don't need anything more than a NAS to work. You could run any server distro on a headless box and they'd be happy.
Microsoft's online services division increased its loss in the last quarter to $245 million, from $118 million a year ago,
You've got to be kidding....
So does that mean it's impractical to strap a jet engine to a swallow and accelerate it to Mach 2?
XP's file copying speed wasn't good, which is why they tried to fix it with Vista.
If you want a real comparison, add a couple of non-MS operating systems as well.
Umm, you do realise we're discussing Vista here, don't you?

Where's that from?
Home Premium costs AU$455.00 retail here, at current exchange rates that's $410 US dollars. Even Home Basic sells for around AU$350
