    The user has provided you with enough information to know what it is and how to fix it.
    That would make a pleasant change. Usually they make a guess what the cause is, you spend half an hour, can't find anything remotely like what they tell you. Then you find out what the problem really is and you find what's causing it.

    If they'd told you the symptoms in the first place, you wouldn't have wasted everybody's time on a wild goose chase.

    I sincerely hope you are able to fix these issues in a fundamental way.
    They're already trying. No wait, it's a fundamentalist way they're proposing. My bad.

    I think what he's trying to say is that a group of programmers who are good (and/or operate well as a team and/or are well managed) are more likely to produce good software. Film at 10.

    How that correlates negatively with the openness (is that a word?) of the source is beyond my limited powers of comprehension.

    I'm sure Steve was "surprised and disappointed" too.

    Someone who contradicts a comment about trademarks with a ruling about patents isn't in much of a position to tell anyone they're wrong.

  12. Re:...or is this an attempt to define a new catego on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 1
    I think Apple isn't all that interested in 'taking over' the high-end cellphone market as much as they're interested in defining a new category of communications device that's not thought of as a cellphone.
    I felt a sudden disturbance in the force, as if a thousand marketing speak meters redlined ... and fizzled, emitting sparks, into oblivion.

    Don't be silly, everybody knows Star Trek is set in the future. Well, apart from Enterprise, which is set whenever it suits what passes for the plot.

    Theology is no less valid than reading the plays of Shakespeare to determine the political situation in late 15th century England, or studying Star Trek scripts to determine the possibility and nature of extraterrestrial life.
