    What utter bullshit.

    I've gotten professional calls from office workers that were very clear when listened to, but the transcription was so bad, I had to work at just trying to figure out what each sentence was saying.

    Names were especially butchered and not at all consistent.

    Even so, it is nice to get an email or text that you have a voicemail there. I'd just like the ability to turn on/off the transcription feature.

    You mean like google maps has "things" labeled? Like hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. Just one more level of resolution of "things", and it's near what you're talking about.

    Like a previous poster said,

    They're taking away 10 years of a kid's life for hacking a game.

    Sorry, but that's a crime against humanity. Maybe not on the same scale as the Nazis, but still an atrocity on one life.

    Having done 1000+ upgrades to Macs, and 500+ to Windows, I'd say you're so dead wrong that you're drunk and confused.

    I've seen an occasional hardware issue on the Macs, and stuff like Unsanity's APEs aren't allowed on our systems. But it pales in comparison to the pain of installing windows.

    But, yes always back up your home folder. And if you're on windows, make sure you also copy the registry, and the invisible settings folders that MS apps seem to love, and if you're in an AD environment, you might not be able to copy everything.

  21. Re:Macintosh on Windows 7 Clean Install Only In Europe · · Score: 0, Troll

    You get what you pay for.

    See the stories higher up on how to maintain/upgrade/move a windows install. From a Mac users point of view: Why do you guys live through continual nightmares like that, purposely?

    You can argue that it's cheaper, but only if your time is worthless.

    And the p2p people get screwed during peak times because they're considered second class. Like say you need a critical patch for a server during business hours.

    Hence the entire reason for using the iPhone and not the GPS only stuff.

    The cell phone triangulation is good enough for the purpose of this article. Nothing else is.
