Maybe because those last 4% were extremely hard to get to?
I admittedly have no idea about India's infrastructure or finer geography, the locations of their villages etc., but compare it to coding: You'll crank out 95% of a program fast, going through all the easy sections like buttons doing what they say they should and so on, and then you'll spend forever on the last 5% to make sure everything works -together-.
Thank you for your very important definition, by which my car also still works when it's broken down but can be repaired by someone who knows how to do that.
Yes, because bullets ricochetting into traffic along with a sudden flat tire or two, on a car controlled by a driver now in a state of panic - that's so much better than a car that just stalls and drifts to a halt.
Conversely, if a burglar dresses up as a police officer, knocks on your door, tells you there's an escaped prisoner on the loose in your neighborhood and asks to check the house and garage to be sure he's not hiding there, then jams the lock in the garage when you aren't looking, do you blame the lock maker? Because that's what these kinds of apps will look like.
I built a new system a few months ago with a 960 EVO for the system drive. I came not from a SATA drive, but from a 320 GB PATA drive. I have no idea how it's survived this long.
Anyway, a full reboot of Win7 until the desktop is available again takes 40-45 seconds now from hitting the Reboot button. I used to go make coffee while waiting.
It is entirely possible to have clear and plain language.
You have the EULA as it looks now, which is CLEAR - at least in the legal sense. And then you add after each section a "Layman's version" which isn't legally clear, but summarizes what the section means, eg. "If you sign up before you're of legal age and we find out, we're going to ban you."
The above reasons, and because your suggestion takes so long to say that the time changes drastically (is it 45 seconds from starting to speak, from saying "forty... five...", or from finishing the sentence?), and if you're navigating particularly narrow streets you might overshoot because the GPS wasn't done yakking.
It's neither the users nor the IT people. The IT people taught the lesson, many users learned it.
The thing is that typing a STRONG password with seemingly random lower and upper case characters, numbers, and signs, all while effectively blindfolded, is hard. Do it wrong a couple of times? Congrats, now you're locked out. Oh, and you have to do it a dozen or more times a day.
Is it any wonder people settle for a good-enough password that they can easily remember and actually feel if they're typing it wrong, eg. the name of a pet?
I'd even say that supply and demand fits the description of changing the price of perishables as closing time approaches - you're just updating the price on the fly rather than once a week or month. Towards closing time, suddenly the supply starts vastly exceeding the demand (since there are only so many customers that can come by before you close), and so the price drops.
Would the sentence "can access EVEN fully up-to-date iPhones" have made better sense? The point is there's been no patch released to stop GreyLock from working.
When he's closed half the distance and is shrugging off the taser, your partner who has a loaded gun ready pulls the trigger, because there is NOW impending threat. While the guy was standing in his doorway looking confused there was NO impending threat.
I'm just your average guy that may receive an email notification every now and then, such as from the post office saying they'll deliver a package tomorrow between noon and 4 pm. So when I expect there MAY be a mail or two waiting, I load Thunderbird.
Thunderbird proceeds to connect to my ISP's mail server, checks for new messages, and downloads them. If there are new messages that's easy enough to see - new messages with bold titles in the main window. If there AREN'T any new messages that information goes away in a couple of seconds, which as I said leaves me wondering if it connected at all or the attempt is hanging.

So did my grandmother when she suggested having some chicken soup and going to bed under a warm blanket.

Well it does NOW.
He wasn't selling licenses. He was selling CDs with data on them.
For the average person with only one computer it becomes REALLY HARD to get the CD image and burn it when your computer is already a brick.

Enhance and update? No.
Include the basic version that is already done and paid for since Windows 3.1? Sure.

The general population disagrees or Facebook wouldn't be as successful as they are.

SSD is not about storage. It's about access time.
And if I give you a six-pack of beer for that rare skin you just got from a box, then what?

Purge the ads in holy fire? I can get behind that.

KISS applies to what the GPS should be saying.
What is the security saying about having physical access to a machine to plug in a USB dongle?

It sounds to me like the Quakers inspired Bill and Ted's famous catchphrase; "Be excellent to each other."

You're assuming the guys at Google even understand how their algorithms work after approximately two decades of code tinkering.
they could call it mencoder or something.
Did you just assume the program's gender?!
I do that by not having Thunderbird open 24/7.

Does that MATTER if the program is actually stable, secure, and useful?
Would you prefer a decade of feature bloat?
