So basically you're blaming windows for being able to run applications that have a crappy design?
I suppose that's correct.
There are of course registry tweaks you can do to make shutting down faster. Like forcing apps closed that take too long and shortening the timeout. No idea what that would do for data integrity though. (Actually, I do have an idea).
Same here. It's not too hard to use an existing template for better looks, but once you want to make things look like you want, you'll need to delve into template building. Not for the weakhearted.
On the other hand, I'm not too sure WP would score higher on this one.
I'm the other way around. I bought a developer phone (basically an unlocked G1) to see if it would be a reasonable platform to develop for. I switched from my HTC Touch HD (which I thought was one of the best phones around) and haven't looked back since.
This is the phone that feels great. It's fast, it has a shitload of great little apps and hasn't let me down once so far. I've tried Symbian, WinMo and all kinds of other stuff, but Android really works best.
Of course the G1 has issues; the battery sucks big time and it could have been half it size. The moment that's fixed, the competition really has something to watch out for.
Looking at the model and at the type number (D900F) I'm gonna guess this is another Clevo, branded as something Canadian.
It's probably gonna be okay, as long as you don't want it on your lap and don't want to use it without a wall socket. Then again, who'd want that for a laptop anyway?
Dude, this is/. Just say the word and thousands of nerds around the world are checking any domain they can think of. Slashdotted into bankruptcy... must be a first?
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly. Printers don't kill projects, people do.
when chatbots start adding these stories to Slashdot themselves.
Actually, not really.
Almost sounds like pets, doesn't it?
Calling it iScience would do the trick.

All those that pre-ordered?
Dunno. Let's ask both of them whether they heard anything yet.
Yeah, but only in this life!
Indeed, It's Linux that's keeping Linux off the desktop, not Windows.
Since we already have an International Space Station (ISS), we now can have an Australion Space Station aswell? Cool!
Don't mind them, they're from Barcelona
Exactly. Shut up and let me play with my balls.

Exactly my thought. Just because it looks cool, doesn't mean it's practical.
Yeah. Nothing sets the spirits like receiving $0.05 from an enthousiastic user.
So, basically, you're saying it ain't that bad?
Ow c'mon. You had to look it up too, admit it!
Well, the software you found is a real POS alright. Seems Google still does an intelligent search match :)
... the year of Optimus on the desktop.
What's next? Duke Nukem Forever?
My thoughts exactly. It can't be a coincidence that these figures are supposed to debut between march 15 and april 15...
Just tried to install the first game on his list (Soldat) on my laptop running Vista 64 bit.
First run; no go. Soldat stops responding.
Start explorer, go to soldat directory, open soldat.exe properties. Set compatibility to Windows XP/SP2, disable Aero for this program, run as admin.
Second run; works like a charm. One more popup asking whether Soldat may access the network.
I'm not even going to bother and try the other ones. This guy should have done his homework.
Dude, this is /.

Having a simple web page offer you access to the files on your other machines, having a simple LogMeIn alike function...
Like I said, yes, there are alternatives but it's the integrated package that makes this a nice tool.
