Seems to be what its morphed into. I always thought it literally made the device 100% useless.. as in a phone that never gets past the boot screen or something, rendering simply an expensive piece of plastic.
The business segment you refer to will be buying new pcs with win7 pro installed, which includes xp mode. Technically they'll still be running xp for some things, but I think if you have most apps working good on win7 you'll eventually start demanding the last hold out upgrade or be replaced.
What makes you think I agree with those credits either?
I'd also like to know why business can write off as an expense a car used to move employees, yet I cannot do the same though I use my car to make money (i.e., to get me to work everyday).
And how many software packages still work then? Even Firefox had serious trouble with the update function under non-admin accounts until very recently.
Pretty much all of them. That OSS people can't code properly on Windows doesn't suprise me in the least.
Pulled, to be precise. Via an Active-X plugin, yuck.
Linux updates are pulled too. Oh, and there's Automatic Update service which doesn't require activex and will still download updates for you. Just the user initiated UI was a web page, and starting with Vista that's not even true anymore.
No, it does not. The update "function" is a web site that sets of 3 security warnings in IE8.
Control panel -> Automatic Updates -> Check to download, or download and install automatically. No need to open a browser.
You seem to be less familiar with Windows that the other was with Linux.
My city owned telecom deployed fiber across the city, and I got their 8mb sync service. When they offered 20mb for only $10/month more, I signed up. I can tell you I can quite easily notice the difference. Downloading large files (almost 1gb) takes about 15 minutes. I imagine 100mb would reduce that quite a ways. Not to mention that web pages even are noticably quicker to load.
In cases where there is a natural monopoly, there is a simple solution; the municipality owns and operates the lines, and lets companies sell various services over those lines.
That will effectively chop up the Comcast monopoly while not requiring huge expenses duplicating efforts.
Did you happen to read the 14th amendment as well?
Did you know there are federal wiretap laws which DO apply to everyone, such that you can't record my phone call to someone else, period? Remember, that's also that whole pesky "this is the supreme law of the land thing," which pretty clearly states what happens when Fed and State laws collide.
Please go read wiretap laws; whether the person has permission to use the phone or not is irrelevent when considering if it's legal to wiretap. Its not just the person on the phone, its the person on the other end (who may not be doing anything wrong) too.
It's been my understanding that the two reporters were in a group of people, all of whom were armed, including at least one with an RPG. So "all they had were cameras" is being dishonest.
but given enough accidents, odds are pretty good that at least a partial nuclear detonation could occur.
No they're not. The odds don't change if you have one device or 100. For example, if you have a 0.0001% chance of this happening with one device, you'll still have a 0.0001% if you have 100. Think back to your discrete math. If you're building a seven character license plate, and you can use A-Z and 0-9 without restriction, each place has a 1:39 chance of having A. Move to the next slot, and its still a 1:39 chance.
Worse, they take "most likely type of suspect" and focus soley on that type of suspect... even if some evidence is pointing to a statistically less likely suspect.

The best defense is a good offense.
Trophies are synced to PSN, so if you synced before the update came out I'd think they'd come back to your slim.

Even if its a feature I don't care about and never intend to use? I have a computer already if I want to run linux.

FWIW, mine is the old fat model and its not been bricked.
Because if EVERY FUCKING ISP that wanted to open had to string its own wires, we'd still have LOTS OF FUCKING WIRES.
Goddamn you are stupid.

There's a reason we don't want anyone to just be able to string up wires.

A friend of my basically said that regarding healthcare, when I said congress doesn't have the authority to force me to buy health insurance.
Right, because we almost never see sick people on TV, or anywhere else for that matter.

Uh, I believe your last statement explains why nobody wants to go to war with China.
What, it would hurt less being killed with smaller bullets? When you want someone dead, you want to be sure.
Should they have thrown sleeping gas down and injected them with morphin instead?

They make a Prius with a manual transmission in Europe?

Since Federal law always trumps state law, you're wrong. A State can no more restrict my freedom of speech any more than the Feds could.
If I use your phone to make a private call, you do NOT have the right to listen in.

Ya, because you're such a genius only you would think of more effective ways to do this.
