Not being a CEO of one of the largest, most successful companies in the history of the world, I'm not really one to say if it makes sense for them to keep working on it or not. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Mr. Bamburic might not have the perspective, knowledge, or experience to make these kinds of suggestions either. But hey, great for him for having an opinion, as uninformed as it may be.
Such insight! Such a well thought out opinion piece. After reading it, I realized that Mr. Bamburic is right. How can I use a product knowing that so many other people don't? What will people think about my choice of phone? What an incredible loser I must be for using a relatively unpopular gadget. I'm running out today to replace my Windows 10 phone.
One thing we know is that when faced with a virtual monopoly in any field or domain, large corporations will screw over the consumer again and again.
What the fuck is wrong with you (and people like you)? Seriously, are you that stupid that you can't follow an idea from one sentence to another? Are you just so selfish that you're fine with consumers being screwed over, so long as you can get your widget $0.02 cheaper? Why would you acknowledge that companies like Amazon are awful for people, yet still use them all the time. What's wrong with you?
No need to apologize. I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm contributing my viewpoint to this discussion. We're happy since we replaced our Cisco junk with working routers, so that's really all that matters.
The equipment I had from them did not work as they were supposed to. They were a mess, and I wasn't the only one having tons of problems with them. Maybe their enterprise class stuff works correctly, but their lower end stuff that I used certainly doesn't. Thanks for your snark, though! It was really helpful!
We were using entry level routers. Regardless of whether it was entry level or not, they didn't work the way they were supposed to. Maybe the heavier duty stuff is better. I don't really know.
They can keep it. Our company just dumped all of our Cisco equipment because it was buggy and unreliable. I don't understand how these guys are still in business.
Regardless of whether or not it "took off", I wasn't aware of the Windows 10 phone dock. Super cool. The Microsoft one is much more appealing to me, at least, because I don't have to give Google all of my personal information as part of the deal. That, and MS hardware tends to be very good (and not explosve).
Fortunately, the old testament is history and not the current doctrine of Christianity. Your also ignoring the fact that you would have a very hard time finding any Christians that believe it is their duty to conquer the world.
the best person for the job regardless of race or gender is how it should be, nothing else.
That's short sighted.
- We have historical (and current) discrimination to overcome.
- Different people from different viewpoints are almost invariably GOOD for an organization. Those that don't have diversity tend to wither and die due to stagnation.
The intention of Christianity is to conquer the world, and you're a fool to ignore that fact.
Deuteronomy 17
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant; 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
Deuteronomy 17
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.
12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in 13 that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. 16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt.
Not everybody cares about "cool". Some people use gadgets to get work done. Microsoft has a really good product. They're not going to scuttle it just because it's not the flavor of the month.

Nope. I dropped them because their routers kept flaking out and needing reboots. I spent significantly more on routers from another company.

And you certainly don't get to call me a racist, or claim that I'm trying to oppress people, if I don't agree with you.
Fuck you. You're an asshole.
What do we need nuclear power for? The Liar-in-Chief just said he's bringing back coal. Coal fired power plants should be being built now, right?

Ah, the Trumrian view of the world: "I've got mine. Fuck you." So pleasant.
Fuck you, AC troll. Fuck you. Please note, I'm saying "fuck you" as an individualist.
Russians infiltrating the White House is pretty darn serious. To call that a "distraction" is in, itself, a distraction.
yet we keep giving them power.
Not "we". It's the dummies. If we had an educated populace, it wouldn't be happening. The obscenely wealthy wouldn't have the votes.
You're a shitty excuse for a troll.
Slashdot isn't about tech exclusively. It's for nerds. There are all kinds of nerds, including grammar nerds.
From further down this thread... "I kinda would like my iPod Touch to be upgraded past 9.3. It's not really that old."
I'm sure that all current Apple products will have to be replaced. That's always their catch.

A unanimous vote against the FCC bill isn't "a little less wrong". False equivalency.
Democrat establishment, Republican establishment, it's all the same fucking thing.
No, not true, Donald.
