As the countless posts calling Assange a douche reveal, it's important to establish that he's a douche. This is called poisoning the well and is meant to discredit more relevant information presented by Assange.
So far I really haven't seen any indications that the OS is doing badly.
There are clearly more Windows 7 phones in stock than there are people buying Windows 7 phones. If this were a hot seller, there wouldn't be inventory for a buy one get one free deal.
Also, anything following your disclaimer is sure to actually be happening: "So far I really haven't seen any indications that........"
You are perceiving part of a much larger problem. The United States is a deeply dysfunctional country that should be recognized as existing to provide an example of failure.
The TSA claims it is "only" the equivalent of a chest x-ray.
Whoa! Holy shit, what the god damned fucking hell?! Is that real? Is that really true? Please tell me you made that up.
I will gladly submit to a crotch grabbing in place of a chest x-ray any day. If a crotch grabbing could be used to diagnose pneumonia, I would certainly go that route at the hospital, too.
I can't tell you how glad I am to be leaving this country to work in Europe. Fuck this worthless shit hole.
Unfortunately you really do need a government to come in and say "ok, we know you're gonna take it in the shorts financially.. but you live in a civilized society and you have to suck it up and do what's right".
That is not what's going to happen at all. In the long run you will make owning and operating a small business so onerous that few will decide to do it. Only the largest corporations can afford to comply with laws like this. They will then use their leverage to ship your job to China, India, or Bangladesh. You will have your "civilized society," but no money or future.
There are already many accessibility laws that affect small businesses. The most expensive must be building codes, and these have been around for years. Do you think it costs more to add some text-to-speech helper tags to a website than to build a ramp next to a stairway or to add a wheelchair accessible stall to the bathroom? Please.
Furthermore, many small businesses provide local services that are not possible to offshore. Requiring wheelchair ramps and website tags will not cause the local muffler shop to move to Bangladesh.
They conclude the card is fried because it can't be read in anywhere else. Well, of course it can't be read anywhere else, it has been locked using the SD DRM and will not work with any device that can't unlock it.
They do say that it doesn't work with ANY phone. Well, the phone to which it has been married stopped working the second they removed the SD card. How exactly would one determine whether the card has been damaged or locked when the only thing that could read it has already been disabled? Think about it.
Oh oh, and all this inflation, all this money printing, it's not helping at all.
Inflation does help exports and additionally stimulates domestic production by driving up the price of imported goods. Furthermore, it makes outsourcing less attractive by simultaneously reducing the cost of domestic labor and increasing that of foreign labor.
It's also worth noting that inflation devalues national debt.
You are wrong in so many more ways, in so many places... There are real problems and ignorant outrage is too easily misdirected; please become more educated.
.. and this post and its score is a great example why debate is superfluous and we should just get down to killing as many as possible of those we hate instead.
Someone points out that you are wrong and you want to kill them. Welcome to being a Republican.
Already blocked by a new firmware update. So we're still stuck with the choice of running either PS3 games or homebrew, but not both.
Likewise, PSP games require the latest firmware available at release time, and of course using the playstation network on a PSP always does. This poses no problem to those who run homebrew apps and the latest games on the same PSP as the newest firmware is invariably fixed by the community.
As the community's PS3 knowledge develops, we may see unfucked versions of the latest firmware so that games could be played online without any workarounds such as loaders.
they are looking for a cool phone, and at the end of the day, WP7 will look just as cool to them as any other phone. Unless you're going to line up to protest outside phone stores, I wouldn't write them off
That's how the kin got its 500 sales, right? It looked cool.
They've failed in this market countless times, just as they have in the pen / tablet computing market. Launch after launch, year after year, every single one an abortion.
Microsoft is dead serious about making this work
Microsoft is dead serious about replicating whatever Apple or Google were doing 3 years ago. Microsoft knows how to compete only against huge companies slower and stupider than themselves (such as Sony). Apple and Google are quick, leaving Microsoft with no way to win.
Perhaps my employer is unusual, but we immediately shit can resumes from windows drones. microsoft has no place in science these days. It's all Linux and OS X as far as the eye can see, save for equipment controlled by vendor supplied windows systems.
Linux emulation is broken and has been broken for ages.
Works for me.
It doesn't work with l4d2 dedicated server (segfaults), it doesn't work with rosetta (signal 4). Reproducible failure > "works for me."
Live UFS dump is broken.
Works for me.
Bullshit. UFS snapshots have been broken for a long time; read the thread. Core developers acknowledge it. Dump -L relies on UFS snapshots, and is therefore broken.
USB mass storage support is broken.
Still broken.
Wine is not supported on AMD64
And this is FreeBSD's fault why?
It works on Gentoo AMD64. Why can't FreeBSD support it?
ZFS in double parity mode is broken
Haven't move to zfs yet, but given your pattern I'm guessing you're wrong again.
That's right, you are guessing. You clearly haven't tried any of the things I described. So far, you're 0/6.
MTRR for older ATI cards is broken
If you're referring to bug I think you are, it was fixed awhile ago and was non-serious in first place. As with the rest of you're statements it's hard to know what you're talking about without referencing a bug report.
Feel free to actually reference a bug report. You're full of it. "works for me!" How informative... it doesn't, and if you'd tried it, you'd know. Come back when you've actually tried any of the things I mentioned, dipshit.
Linux emulation is broken and has been broken for ages. Linux processes segfault unpredictably but often. Live UFS dump is broken. That's right, the dump command doesn't work. Oh, it seems like it works, and restore in test mode reports that the archive produced by dump is valid. You have to run restore in full test mode, where it checks the integrity of every file in the archive instead of just listing its contents in order to detect the corruption. USB mass storage support is broken. Expect kernel panics if you attempt to move gigabytes to a USB 2 external drive. Wine is not supported; you have to build it on a 32-bit machine and install the resulting package in 32-bit emulation mode. ZFS in double parity mode is broken. Try offlining two disks in a double parity pool. You can't. Fail. Try replacing two dead disks in a double parity pool. You can't, the replace operation never completes. Fail. MTRR for older ATI cards is broken and has been broken for ages.
The problem with FreeBSD is that, compared with Linux, its user and developer communities are microscopic. Glaring bugs that have existed since forever will never be fixed and nobody cares.
And yet, ANY PERSON, regardless of insurance or socioeconomic status, is able to walk into an emergency room in America TODAY and receive full treatment without concern over the final cost.
How does this work? If you receive treatment from a hospital, they will bill you. If you don't pay, they'll send bill collectors. I've read that hospitals charge far more for procedures given to uninsured patients due to the fact that an individual does not have the bargaining power of a large insurance company - so not only is an uninsured person who visits the emergency room out of desperation liable, their liability is typically enormous and unfair.
All those are trivially listed on the title page of every book. All one has to do is open the damn book and flip a few pages, but that appears to be too hard for some people.
Exactly! Just flip a few pages in the scanned book, and...
Or is that too hard for you?
Why did they bother?
Why not? Because the results are not perfect? Jesus, man... Point out errors as you find them to Google or Microsoft if you truly want them fixed.
Nobody uses the PS3 for supercomputing these days. The ugly secret of the PS3 is that its 'extreme performance' was mostly marketing.
Folding@Home maintains a popular PS3 client that is currently used by 31,933 PS3s. The PS3s provide about 26% of the total x86 equivalent TFLOPS available to F@H, although PS3s represent just 9% of the total F@H CPU population.
Let me emphasize that: thirty one thousand, nine hundred thirty three PS3s actively contribute to Folding@Home. That's a long way from zero, my friend.

As the countless posts calling Assange a douche reveal, it's important to establish that he's a douche. This is called poisoning the well and is meant to discredit more relevant information presented by Assange.
I'll believe that he is taking a moral stand when he publishes some real damaging info on Russia, China, Libya, or any major drug cartel
Assange has no credibility with you except insofar as his leaks are negative to your enemies.
What are their names? I'll be sure to avoid hiring them.
I google for things on Bing.
I close a car door on my Hand.

disclose results of any benchmark test results related to the Programs without our prior consent
Oracle has never had any faith in their own products, and when they pretend to by offering performance bounties and such, they are burned badly.
I agree that the phone was probably useless the moment the card was removed.
So you've been trolling us both, or you didn't think of this possibility. Either way, your pedantry can't hide your ignorance.

The GP: "You can get away with single precision SOMETIMES in scientific computing, but more often than not it's a deal breaker."
Me: "PS3s provide about 26% of the total x86 equivalent TFLOPS available to F@H, although PS3s represent just 9% of the total F@H CPU population."
You: "It's cloud computing or trivially parallel computing."
Irrelevant; this is a subset of supercomputing for which the PS3 is sufficiently well adapted - contrary to the GPs ill-informed rant.
