They could be booting a LiveCD image in the background while they're displaying all of the AMD, ATI, Nvidia, Intel, Dolby Digital, SquareEnix, LucaArts, EA, and other development and production house, etc. full screen ads that come up when you launch any major title these days. I doubt anyone would notice the additional delay of loading an entire operating system.
Our CFO bought a Blackberry Playbook when they first came out, partly because he is (or was) a stockholder. I took a look at the app store and basically saw about 10,000 temperature conversion apps (for only $1.99 each!) and not much else. Needless to say I was not impressed. It didn't help that you had to tether the damn thing in to an existing Blackberry handheld to access email, so they were only ever going to sell them to existing Blackberry customers. The user interface for enabling said tethering was convoluted, not user-friendly, and didn't work out of the box. It required a software update to work, and the software update process was confusing and didn't seem to work most of the time. It had a damn nice screen with good build quality, but the user interface and software was lacking in so many ways that he finally gave up on it and got an iPad.
Right, because history has shown that all straight married couples always, without a doubt, are absolutely guaranteed to raise perfectly normal, well-adjusted children every time.
Yes, all of these are great ideas with the possible exception of the second one. Yes, make an enterprise management solution for iPhones, but for $DIETY's sake, don't make it anything like BES server!
To which she would naturally reply, "Great, because I need a new dress, and shoes to go with it, and I've had my eye on that diamond broach, and I really need my hair done to go with my new outfit, and I was thinking about re-doing the living room..."
I had a roommate with one of those TVs but had lost the remote. We would rattle our keys to get it to change channels or turn on and off. When you were lucky, it managed to perform the function you actually intended.
We have some of the 45-degree angle streets here in Chicago. While it may seem like it would be more efficient, in practice it doesn't seem to work out that way.
You get a "6-corners" intersection where the N/S, E/W, and NE/SW etc. streets meet. These huge intersections cause a bottleneck of cars for several blocks in every direction because only a few cars can get through the intersection before it's the next street's turn to cross. It can be somewhat unsafe crossing a diagonal street from a "normal" street because of limited visibility of the oncoming traffic. I'm sure a European-style round-about intersection would help, but they didn't think of that when laying out Chicago's streets (or maybe it takes up too much real estate).
Then of course you would get someone with a hacked phone that disables that "feature" because they don't want to be inconvenienced by not being able to be an obnoxious asshat when they so choose.
OK, let's try this scenario. A gaming company spends a couple thousand dollars producing a game, then sells one copy for $50.00. That one customer is so happy with the game that he keeps it forever. The company still only made $50 in sales. Does that give the game company the right to charge that one happy customer over and over until they make up their loss on the development of the game?
God Damn how do we fire these Goddamn idiots in the SCOTUS?
The Supreme Court justices are appointed for life. The only way to fire them would be to kill them. As much as I disagree with them on this and other decisions, that doesn't really justify killing them off. Besides, their replacements would probably be just as bad.
I did a semester of school in Saudi Arabia in an ASL (Arabic as a Second Language) program. None of the instructors would say anything but glowing praise about the government (if they bothered to mention it at all) except one. He would tow the party line loudly for a minute, get up, close the door, then speak in hushed tones in a slightly less-enthusiastic manner than the usual "rah rah rah King!" After a few minutes of not-quite-praise of the government, he would open the door and move on with the rest of the normal lesson.
That tells me you probably have more Linux admins than Windows admins or that the primarily Linux-oriented admins are also able to manage Windows. It tells me nothing at all about Windows viability except perhaps at your company.
I think someone in the development team accidentally changed the build number to be the first number of the version instead of the last. Marketing found out and so they were forced to go forward with that scheme.
They don't have to be. They're on the network and the user presumably has at least one other computer which does have internet access. Most likely that computer connects to the print server, which could be a vector for infection.

It's not really that simple. There are many strains of HIV and it is generally advisable to avoid exposure to other strains if you are already HIV+. Treating one strain may be manageable, but when you have multiple strains, there are fewer treatment options and the ones that exist are less effective.
Not to mention, if you believe that Windows Phone will stay "such a smalltime player," then you really are fooling yourself. Once the most recent release kicks out, WP7 will have pretty much feature parity in terms of features that people actually use

Well, gee, if a playwright from a century ago says that vaccinations are a scam, it can only be true!

How about "Keep Pass" with an economical savings of an extraneous "p"?

I wonder what percentage of 4G phone owners living in area WITH "4G" coverage think they have 4G service?
Not only that, but the regulations of Slashdot itself, regarding the reading of TFA, have also been violated. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Just like the Zune!
I'm guessing the GP is referring to Hamas in Palestine.
