AT&T sold 7+ M iPhones last quarter (75% of smartphones sold) VZ sold 4+M iPhones last quarter (50% of smartphones sold) S sold almost 2M iPhones last quarter
What do you think those companies would look like if they threw out half of their business?
Well, personally, I do quite nicely from AT&T's 6% dividend, so yeah, I'll be weeping a bit if they're forced to cut it due to making less enormous profits.
"The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows® would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows® and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change."
I don't see anything about adding improvements there.
Wow, what a great argument. Other places are more evil. So business buying politicians isn't bad. And don't ever talk about one without saying other things are worse.
And then you end with a 'grow up' charge.
You didn't win anything on the debate team, did you?
Have you ever run a software repository that 250M people download stuff from on a daily basis? And then provide a nice interface to all? And then provide financial transactions to the developers of all the software?
Why don't you set up a store and find out? You pay for the bandwidth to download CS5.5 for 20,000+ people. And program the interface. And support all the credit card transactions. etc. etc. etc.
"Increasing shareholders equity" is NOT "their stated primary purpose." Hell, that phrase isn't more than 30 yrs old, in popular vernacular. The phrase is a bullshit line that Wall Streeters use to push companies to increase their value. Not to do the right thing.
"Anything else is secondary" is anathema to "right, ethical and lawful".

Or I hate jerks who are arrogant pricks who can't see that cellular service isn't a service because of their ideologies.
How is cellular service not a service, regardless of the margin?
Good thing interest hasn't been around long then!
And did I mention how I got my money to buy T? Actual work.
So go fuck yourself and your idiotic rantings.

They're making it up on volume. Just making slightly less. But selling significantly more.

Cite any improvements that ReactOS has made or is going to make. Otherwise, your claim is baseless.
Not according to ReactOS's home page.

Except that your examples are not trying to be exact duplicates.
And didn't answer why.
Duplicating decade old technology is an interesting project?

CRLs fail unlocked because that's what the browsers set as the default to avoid inconvenience.
Now, if the CRLs are local, will they still fail unlocked if they're missing or corrupt? i.e. next virus target.
If so, then they've done nothing to help the fundamental problem of insecure security.
Same dumb argument you used before. Somalia>corruption so not allowed to talk about corruption.
Guess what? Corruption is evil. Maybe not Somalia evil, but still evil.
Also, you don't get to judge what my definition of evil is.
Apparently you haven't argued with too many people in the real world.

So, $20M just for Adobe suite? 30% not sounding so bad now...

I see it as the evil mirror reflection of what business & politics has risen up and wielded such power.
Why don't you set up a store and find out? You pay for the bandwidth to download CS5.5 for 20,000+ people. And program the interface. And support all the credit card transactions. etc. etc. etc.
I wasn't pretending to be on topic. I was just correcting facts. Sorry if that offended you.
Actually, Apple is the single biggest PC manufacturer in the world.

If they get it to 1% efficiency, they'll have 136GW in Germany.
So only half of the country will need to be covered in rotting grass.
Well, you could have a grass roof. Then you'd be right both ways.
Way to miss the point. Not some dumb treaty. Violating the oath to uphold the Constitution.
About the same time the last 6 presidents were impeached for similar behavior...
