I know. That argument is annoying. If they would just say they like the machine build quality, Unix like underpinnings and user interface better it would make it easier to listen to them.
As for your antivirus comment. Well you must be a sys admin to love such crapware.
Seriously in the middle of doing an install of Fedora 14 on my corporate laptop since McAfee is sucking the IO life out of my Windows install. I can jump through hoops to sometimes avoid it, but is company policy. 100000 files in my project and doing a simple copy to an external esata drive takes forever with McAfee cock blocking IO bullshit.
I love my Galaxy S. I think I'd pay $99 or so for a hardware upgrade with dual core processor etc.
Even so if this story is true then... fucking pricks. I will never forget and it will affect my future purchasing and recommendation behavior.
Already had to use the One Click Lag Fix. Which really made me love the Vibrant more, but it should have been updated by Samsung anyway in the first place.
Same here. Please mod parent up. Its the damn truth!
Unsure what all the hating of Apple hardware is on/. lately. Solid Unix based OS that your parents would never know about. Google developers use them. It's actually not about being hip. It's about getting work done.
Just installed and bought a book. Heading to the bathroom now.

Success! It works like a charm.
(You dont need to buy a kindle)
Reader is decent. Font size is nice. Bookmark feature works. Option to choose the font you like.
You have to buy books from web browser at amazon.com/kindlestore. But it will automatically send it to your iphone kindle app.
Next update (free) may include searching/buying directly from kindle app. But really what is the point? You probably want to use amazon.com/kindlestore to search and browse for new books anyway.
Also the book I purchased is pretty good. A couple "duh" things and a few "doh! Why didn't I think of that" things.
"I have personally visited the fields where they doing all this. The term "waste pit" is misleading. A lot of stuff was stuffed in 55gal drums and buried in rows underground just because they didnt know what to do with it."
You should visit my office. Sounds like the legacy code I maintain these days.
Dude! I think your are saying what most people are thinking. However, you will immediately get attacked for speaking the truth. We are still in strange times when truth scares the hell out of people.
Of course nobody clicks the ads and loves free services, but... shhhhh.
Possibility: In one or two years time, when this mess that is being handed to Obama needs cleaning up, he will have many people to blame it on and can fire them.
It could be politically convenient for him if nothing else.

It's like the French fashion industry. Are wrap around ribbons still cool in web pages?
Um...

No such trouble or company gripes with Linux.

My neighbor did that and now he doesn't have any maintenance issues but he is broke.
So now you can help him with financial planning. You know... since he spent the extra $299 on a MacBook instead of a $700 Dell craptop.
Better than cleaning his registry, running spybot, installing antivirus and reinstalling his windows drivers.

Somebody needs to get those guys at NASA a glass of water already.
Yo Dawg! I heard you like Czars. So we put a Czar in your Czar so you can be be censored while being censored!
Thanks for reminding me.

The two-party system is here to stay in American politics and the x86 stranglehold.
And operating systems and phone companies and potato chips and cereals and sexes.
Haha!
I just bought another book.

"incidentally, you may be unaware of the distinction made in the UK between pants and trousers, i.e. that pants are what one wears under trousers."
So what the hell are under-pants in the UK then? Do they go under your pants?
You guys wear 3 layers of pant?
Do you wear a pair of pants or more? So confusing.
All I know is if you wear pants under your trousers and that's all... well then you aren't wearing underwear and that's nasty.
"But at least it is compatible with over 70% of the earth's surface"
Damn! You sound like the IE developer sitting in the cube next to me.
And call it New Jersey.
I watched something that sounded like that once starring Ann Coulter.
What was the porno version of "The Hunt for Red October" called?
Everyone got off the sinking plane last week in an orderly fashion.
We have new leadership this week.
Your first paragraph was spot on.
Your last paragraph was interesting.
It'll all work out :)

Isn't it time we dumped ASCII and moved over to Unicode?
Nay, it's time we dump all other languages and move over to English!
Neigh, it's time we dump all other languages and move over to Equidae.
Streaming video games over the net from a server cloud?
Who let the marketing guys out of their cage on this one?
I mean... it will be faster than Intel's local 3D chips sure, but still... come on!

Never underestimate a good strategy.

I like this approach - respect, appreciation and freedom.
Also remember input and creativity are musts.
I like one of Paul Graham's recent articles. Good developers like input and like to see their work in use.

Buyers have no incentive to pay anymore, but you always pay to list the item.

I knew it was Sacramento from your description before clicking the link!
Also I am a student pilot and was wondering what it would be like to fly over a city that low.
Are there altitude restrictions flying single engines over Sac?
