Look, there are plenty of resources out there explaining where the money is going, if you really gave a shit. Don't expect anyone on slashdot to explain it to you, go out and read. If you are too stupid to find a good resource (like nyt, etc...) then you are probably too stupid to understand anything this complicated anyway.
Bullshit, a real keyboard is harder with big fingers. At least with iPhone and others, it detects the center of your finger, and it is easy to move your finger.
Wow, so even after all that you talk about irrelevant information. And do you really consider your last statement a continuation of our discussion, addressing the last points I made, or a disguised attack. And to be far, every insult I used was deserved and correct. You clearly are a Moron, and are shit that works in the IT industry.
are you still stuck in 16-bit land. 32-bit x86 added more registers, and made all the registers general purpose (including bp, di, si ). And 64-bit adds even more registers.
More registers would be good, but the main reason x86 was faster than 680x0 in the early days was because they had fewer registers.
maybe you should try programming on a load-store machine, then you will see how few registers you can have, and still get work done.
Oh of course moron, how dare anyone talk about anything except the US. Fucking excellent point. Well then, there are parts of the US that aren't, you know, in New York, or next to a Walmart. What about the Alaskans?? Oh, I guess I have gone to far again, and we should only really talk about LA?? Or maybe that is too much for your little mind to consider, and we should only consider EMMA'S FUCKING NEIGHBOURHOOD, hey moron!
You are everything that is shit with IT in this country.
Yeah, but it happens all over the world, every country has their little cousin that they look down on. Australians have New Zealand, England have Ireland, Germany has Poland...
WOw, thanks for the obvious, genius. The only problem is, in someplaces we don't have that many choices, and it is a PC with Vista or no PC at all. But thanks for your brillant insight, Einstein.
Only if you are out walking all day long. Don't you have a desk at work, is so then just pull it out and put it near the window. Or in your car, pull it out and put it on the seat next to you. See, not so hard.
I don't think you quite understand the power of the shareholders, which is basically nil. Every now and then you get to vote on something, and the 3 guys with majority overrule you anyway.
Of course maybe you think that the company should listen to the couple of loons who happen to own a few shares. And change their complete direction, every few weeks. Brillant.
I would think they would be against the filter, since if it becomes widespread, there is no need for their business model anymore. They will go the way of the buggy whip manufacturers.
Not all shops are Microsoft shops, thank god. You can get the chance to work on some very exciting platforms, if you look around. There is nothing worse than being locked into a Microsoft shop, who see the big M as the solution for everything.
Changing the UI for the better is good. Changing the UI for the worse is bad. Can you see how change can be good and bad? I know, it is a tricky concept to follow, but you will get there.
Most of those changes are bullshit. New APIs, congrats, that is like every over OS upgrade, or else what is the point. UI revamp...yawn. They changed some of the stuff under the hood is handled, big fucking whoop.
You know why people didn't want to go to XP because Win 2000 was the first good Windows OS, and it still worked well. It did everything that people wanted, so why change? XP had this stupid kindergarten theme to it, that most sensible people switched off straight away.
Why did people eventually go to XP, becuase it wasn't that different to 2000, it wasn't that much slower, so your new computer came with it on.
Your comment is idiotic anyway, you can still hate XP, but hate Vista more. You seem to have failed logic.
Slashdot Mirror
It is not illegal to go look at peoples houses.
It would be equivalent to selling a map of drug dealers homes.
Not everything older is cheaper (look at wine, cheese, a million other things).
Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean you have a right to it.
Microsoft can do whatever they want, they can charge $1000 for XP if they want to. Sucked in for sticking with the pricks.

The fact is, that if any other company came out with ie6, they would be out of business by now.
It is not a phone call moron.
Skins cells, it is all skin cells.

Well it couldn't have been my fault, must have been someone elses. Done over computers you say, then it must have been IT's fault.
You do realise I am not talking about the US, where no doubt you could get a house delivered. Your world is this big ".".
Yeah, but it happens all over the world, every country has their little cousin that they look down on. Australians have New Zealand, England have Ireland, Germany has Poland...

So what are they going to charge you with? You aren't actually selling drugs? The information about where to get Heroin is illegal.
I agree with you about the bullshit people will come up with to justify there downloading.

Have you ever used an operating system besides XP (and I am not talking about Vista/7.0)? XP was ok 5 years ago.
It's new coke all over again. When will we learn!
When the OS gets suspended to Ram, it is a trivial process to move this to the hdd. So that is not a problem.
exetel are pretty good, at least in Sydney.
