It's also a 15 year old who uses Twitter and spends more time on game systems than the phone. I'm not convinced this teen represents all teens. There is no way my daughters use their game systems to communicate more than their phones. And, for me, it wouldn't even be possible because my DSi has a range of about 60 feet.
I forgot about Lexmark. But my post was serious. My cousin and I, and my daughters, have been able to do just about everything we need to do with Linux except print. And the four of us together probably do just about everything an average computer user would do.
I have a friend with an HTC Touch phone with GPS, and had a friend with a Lexus 430 Sport Coupe that also had GPS. The phone was great in my little car, but the Lexus' dedicated GPS system is better than the phone. The phone would take several seconds to figure out your position. The Lexus would update so fast that it had an arrow on the map which could tell us where we were in real time. The phone had all of the streets that mattered but the Lexus knew the names of side streets that I didn't even know were real streets. I thought they were alleys or something. It also could tell when we were on a ramp and mentioned that. The Smartphone would think we were off course if we stopped on a ramp, and would assume we were back on course after we drove onto the highway again. And each trip killed the phone's battery even though it was plugged in the whole time. It was using more power than a USB charger could provide, I guess. So I do think dedicated GPS is better, at least if its built into an 80 thousand dollar car. But the phone definitely worked and most people I know can't get that car, but they can get the phone. The phone was good enough to convince me that my next phone must be a smartphone with that feature.
If it's Google, I doubt the user interface is going to be exciting. Every Google interface I've seen looks very plain. And while it's good for them, to be partnering with big computer manufacturers and Adobe, I think they'd be head over heels above every other Linux distribution if they could partner with
Canon, Epson, and HP to get good printer support.
Or impregnate her female friend and get impregnated by her female friend. It has been a dream of mine for a while now that females could reproduce with other females.
I don't know. Maybe because now it's their website address instead of a common noun, or something equally ridiculous. I personally think they should drop the OpenOffice.org name from all of the icons in the start menu. Why can't it just say Writer, Draw, Base, and Calc? And in the context menus, why wouldn't they make it say "Open with OpenOffice.org Writer" instead of "open with swriter". It's like they have a deadline and just want to get the product out of the door. Anyway, I use it and so do my children and nephews. Why? Not because we love open source or think it's superior. We use it because Microsoft Office is preinstalled as a trial version that expires and we're not paying 89 dollars to type papers. Their marketing info really should say "Microsoft Office expires and you can't afford 89 dollars. Click here to download..."
I'm no business woman but I would have assumed they'd purchase hardware that meets their needs, as opposed to hardware that meets the needs of one of the several operating systems they're considering.
For what it's worth, my children do fine with Linux most of the time. They're mainly online for social networking, music, and videos. So Firefox and the Flash plugin satisfy most of their needs. They just can't sync the iPods.
If you want to throw out ideology, then people like me have to consider the fact we can print with any version of Windows, but my common Canon printer doesn't work with Linux. Or the fact my Nvidia graphics hardware works with Windows but not with Linux. Little things like that are a bigger deal than virus cleanup, because they affect you every single day. Try factoring inability to switch screen modes and the inability to print any document into the total cost of doing business with Linux.
Also, if it works like a Bayesian filter, then if you think about moving all the time, it won't factor that into the cue for movement. It will factor that into the cue for being idle, since that's what you're thinking when you want to be idle.
It depends on the type of "chick" in question. There's a guy I know who has had all kinds of electronics over the last 20 or 30 years. When he shows me his stuff or talks about the old gadgets, he can hold my attention for hours.
I've heard enough "hardware engineers" criticizing "software engineers" that I don't care if a software guy criticizes hardware guys for a while. Neither is really qualified to judge the other.
They'll pay ISP's to ban the people who participate, or get some law passed that requires ISP's to ban the people who participate. And if they're in the United States, there ISP monopolies will ensure they only have to make a few payments to shut down every option.
I think, when someone replies to a question about data recovery, and the only thing in the reply is "you should have backed up your data", the person who replied should be modded as some kind of hypertroll. If it were combined with a useful answer, it would be okay. But by itself, it's an absolutely useless reply for the person asking the question.

In other words, all of the seeders need to be located in Spain.

I wonder what's stopping the killer baby from eating the parent and the herbivore baby...
If they have the stable internet connection mentioned in the article title, I think I'd rather have the iPhone...
Or exchange it for something of the same price, like Opera or Internet Explorer.

Apparently, Microsoft somehow got exclusive rights to the word Office. Or something like that.

The program will still run the first profit and the optimizing compiler will never put the second profit routine into the executable...

Does it run Fedora Core 7?

And if you accuse them of lying about the performance increase, or accuse them of being unable to produce a 150mpg car, you're right.

I think people who bought Vista computers and think Windows 7 will solve all the Vista problems might buy it.
Can they guarantee the people won't be spending more money on electricity than they would have spent on gas?

He should just mark the bug as WORKSFORME...

If that's true then all you have to do is ignore the forks...
