Well, windows explorer could record it in memory. It is not like you can close down explorer, run it again and use the back button, so why does it need to store it anywhere over than in its own memory.
Really? How about the fact that the Australian government forces a certain percentage of telecom company profits to go to projects supporting rural areas, and that they probably don't have that in the US? It would be unprofitable for telstra to do this without this huge support.
How does shit like this get marked insightful...Sure, insightful if you consider that China has no interested in constraining large American corporations, and may wish to help their own companies compete.
I have seen to guys act exactly the same way to the one women. One she was not interested in, and she called a sleaze, the other she was and she loved every minute of it. You are trying to be to cut and dry, trying to suggest that these things are logical, when they are not. There are not two types of guys.
It is very simple, if a girl is interested in you, she will flirt with you. If you then show some interest back in her, she will decide that you are not good enough for her, and will no longer want you. If you continue to show interest, she will get pissed off.
The best strategy is to just ignore the girls interests, this will spur her onto more desperate measures, ended in her jumping on you. I find this to be a satisfactory end.
You are like a mate of mine. He would have all these girl friends, but never get anywhere with other girls. He was keen as, but never had a chance. I just couldn't figure out why he was waiting time with these girls friends, time which he could have been spending on actually getting somewhere with a girl.
I have girl friends too, these are just girls I haven't fucked yet.
No, this is not proof of anything. Nokia had more sales for a variety of reasons. If only it was as simple as producing lots of different varieties we would see this from all companies. Or do you somehow think that you have stumbled onto the secret of sales?
Nokia has a much stronger product line than Motorola. In quantity.
Motorola could do better focusing on a few great phones, rather than lots of mediocre phones (my theory). They would have more people working on a smaller subset of phones.
You seem to want your cake and to eat it as well. You suggest that Motorola should focus on only one OS, but waste time on lots of phones. Whereas I am suggesting, for the same reasons as you dislike the multiple OS option, that it should focus on a few phones. People don't want 30 differrent functions. You don't need a phone with 3 megapixel camera, 2 megapixel camera, 1 megapixel camera, etc... - these should not be differentiators.
Maybe you enjoy going into a phone shop, and testing personally the over 100 models they have on display. And remember, they only have a small subest of what is avialable. It is a joke.
I completely disagree with you. Motorola had 30-40 different phones available about 2 years ago, probably more now. Are there really that many different mobile phone users? NO. They should have just streamlined to 6 or even 10 different lines, and concentrated on producing new versions of these. Make it easier for people, not harder (What is the different between the c115, c117, c356, f3, f4, f5, etc?)
And Motorola looking a different os was just them testing out different options. How has this affected them? Hard to say.
This is my entirely worthless opinion, and bears no relation to reality.
If you were hired, a complete unknown in the financial world, everybody would lose all hope in Motorola, the stock would tank, nobody would make any loans, and we would see a situation like Bear Stearns were some other company would but Motorola for a fraction of it current worth.
The single fact that you don't realise this, pretty much means that everybody would have been guessing right. You should not be CEO. You are great at talking crap.
I love this part "novel, irrational, but totally brilliant solutions", without actually saying what this particular solution would be, unless like the moron above you suggest they come up with an iphone copy.
I could never understand these idiots who removed the stickers. The rubix cube comes apary very easily, and goes together almost as easily. What sort of a fool would want to deal with the stickers??? No offence.
I can't wait until we see the end of "this is the end of Microsoft" rants, however non-researched and idiotic they are. As much as I hate Microsoft, hearing some of the crap that comes from un-educated people is getting a bit thin. Maybe you can have something to report when their market share starts slipping, or there stock tumbles out of line with the economy.
And the stock price would have nothing to do with the economy at large, would it? Look at all blue chip companies, they are all stangnant. Even google has slipped. Google peaked in Nov 2007, and has been dropping ever since. I wouldn't start making bold accusations based on stock price. It tells you nothing!
Believe me, your mum is the exception. I work with people who use computers every day, in a very techincal field, who would never do this. Sure, they are office and support staff, but that is no excuse for such ignorance. I wish it was different.
I have notived this a lot recently. People seem to be adding the word in to make them sound more intelligent, which it probably does, to other people who don't understand the word.
Well, maybe you don't have that much to do with computers. If there is a company out there that has caused you months of gried, constantly added to your workload, caused large amounts of stress, while you have seen competent companies and systems fall to the wayside due to their dominance, then maybe you would have strong feelings about them as well.
They laughed at Einstein, they laughed at Newton, but they also laughed at Bobo the clown.
These people who write of all the complaints with the stupid line that "everyone complaing at 95, 98", are missing the point. I am sure that every os has had complaints, I remember the complaints with doublespace in MS-DOS 6.0, as well as the fact that it took up more memory. I remember people downgrading to MS-DOS 4.1, because it used less memory (this was when memory counted for something, you had 640k-OS for most programs).
But how you can bury your head in the sand with all this evidence??
My only explanation for people who actually like Vista, are the ones who has lots of problems with XP as well - they never could quite get to grips with how to get everything going in XP, so the fact that Vista has some problems is no different for them. Yeah, management types.
These might be major changes to how the OS runs and is programmed, but if there are invisible to the user, then what is the point? And I don't feel that "get less viruses" should be a major selling point of an OS, it is a disgrace that this was needed.
Do you expect them to sit around and make constant improvements for every OS they've ever built?
No, nobody expects this and nobody is asking for this or has mentioned it (except for you). We would like them to make improvements on the most common platform that is in use that they created. Windows XP. Have you heard of this one? Maybe instead of resorting to hyperbole to support your point, you could respond to this reasonable criticism?

There are 3 types of people in the world, those that can count, and those that can't.

A geeky bad joke is still a bad joke, and the joker still deserves to pay for his crimes against humour.
What are you, gay?

Or, just use condor to link a bunch of machines together, and run this program over different state spaces.

After a while, sometimes, you just have to ask, maybe it is just me?
Seriously, there are a lot of people who hate Americans, but most Americans I have met have been great people. People are funny.
Or, more likely, the obvious reason.
(Surprisingly, this is the answer to a lot of questions posed here on slashdot. Try it sometime.)

Brings up a good point. I would love to know the roll-out at Microsoft. Surely all their machines have been upgraded to Vista.
