People who have to make do with broken device drivers that come out of sleep with no sound or (worse) no video. I've seen it happen in both Windows and Linux.
I've been using boring 945GM systems daily for almost four years, and have had very few power management problems (in Windows). They all have the same disk driver, same HD Audio interface, and same graphics device. Each system worked fine with the drivers included.
They are also not releasing duel core netbook atoms anymore(they will only allow them for desktop solutions). Why? It doesn't fit their business model and they want to sell expensive notebooks and desktops with their crappy chipsets.
Bullshit. The dual-core Atom CPUs use much more power than the Atom N270/N280.
I can buy a similar netbook with the exact same components today and pay twice the price I paid for the 901.
Yes, that what I meant. And can you see that the repression of women is merely by the men in power and cultural tradition and nothing really to do with the religious texts?
And I am saying the religious texts do not make the religion.
Nonsense. Islam has nothing to say about the rights of men and women. It is merely an interpretation pushed by men in power not wanting to lose power.
Islam (going all the way back to the quran) calls for unequal rights to men and women; the linked Wikipedia page has references. Modern Islam is whatever it is interpreted to be by its followers, even if many of those interpretations are not supported by the source.
The repression of women in Islam is not based in religion and will eventually come to an end, just like it has (mostly) in Christianity.
You contradict yourself. Previously, you said "Islam has nothing to say about the rights of men and women". But now you acknowledge "the repression of women in Islam". In the first case, you probably meant "the Quran" or other original islamic sources. In the second, you probably mean "Islamic culture". See the distinction?
And what the heck does this have to do with Islam??
Nothing. The tradition of celebrating christmas is an example of a religious practice that doesn't come directly from the original religious texts themselves. This is part of what I am talking about when I say religious culture. I used this example because it is easily accessible.
I'm not saying any practice is universal, or identical among all groups claiming to belong to a certain religion, or even practiced by a majority. It doesn't matter where the traditions came from.
Islamic law is the product of Quranic guidelines, as understood by Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), as well as of the interpretations derived from the traditions of Muhammad (hadith), which were also selected by a number of historical Islamic scholars.[2] These interpretations and their application were shaped by the historical context of the Muslim world.[2]
And in modern Islam, equal rights for men and women is not a universal belief or anywhere near being so.
You are using a different definition of culture. I am specifically referring to the shared religious practices, beliefs, and traditions of a group, such as those of the Roman catholic church. For example: For many christian groups, this definition of culture includes many religious practices not in their bible, such as the yearly celebration of christmas (as the anniversary of the birth date of christ).
People who interpret Islam incorrectly repress women. Just like some Christian fundamentalists insist the women should stay home and look after the children (and not use birth control cause thats killing babies). Same thing.
That's a bullshit answer that can be used to defend any religious practice. From Wikipedia:
Sharia (Islamic law) provides for differences between women's and men's roles, rights, and obligations. Muslim-majority countries give women varying degrees of rights with regards to marriage, divorce, civil rights, legal status, dress code, and education based on different interpretations. Scholars and other commentators vary as to whether they are just and whether they are a correct interpretation of religious imperatives.
There are some ways in which the repression of women is clearly supported by the quran, and many more justified by tradition.
Islam is more than just the interpretation of an old book - there are plenty of traditions and customs that are common and repressive. With modern Christianity's thousands of independent and competing churches (who have an interest in having members in states where religious membership is not compulsory, and therefore a motive to adapt their religion to sell it to their members), it's easy to defend Christianity from interpretations and practices incompatible with the Western world. But this is not so with Islam.
Cell phones aleviate this somewhat but towers can go out too.
So can central offices. In fact, voice outages are more likely for customers with DSL, since many DSL customers only have a digital connection to a remote terminal with small battery backup. During the 2003 blackout, analog phone service on lines with DSL only lasted 4 hours here.
Depending on tower location, some towers might have backup generators. And there's always the chance of being able to reach a tower which still has power.
and the data will get modified in someone's own pc and sent back isnt it.
This is how some applications work. Do you have something against the use of network file systems?
a pc that is probably running a media player, at least one instant messenger, various browser windows and god knows what other software at that moment.
So what? Have you switched to complaining about work being performed on desktop PCs?
its not even a client to send modification request to the database - it will be the place where data is modified and then sent back.
ODBC supports SQL including INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
if, a company uses some macro on some humongous office document continuously, they should have bought/gotten done a software to do that on a real database already. if they havent, well.
Or they can just use their Office macros that work just fine, since unity100 doesn't want to write custom applications for them.
well excuse me, but this sounds a very shitty way of dealing with big data. especially if the data is sensitive, i wouldnt want my sensitive data to be handled by someone's own work pc running some office program with some 'complex' macros. if they manage sensitive, or huge data, they should create a proper database/client setup and run it. not text based files saved on someone's pc.
Great! So you volunteer to write custom applications to replace uses of Office macros, right?
unless you compare it to the full Microsoft office on the same machine it is not really a fair comparison.
Of course it's a fair comparison - people don't frequently use all the programs of an office suite at once. I typically use a word processor the most, followed by a spreadsheet, and then presentations.
But when I do use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at the same time, they all load and respond quickly. (Even using Office 2010 in VMware Fusion.)
You installed OO on a machine that wouldn't even run Office
Netbooks will run MS Office just fine. I use Office 2007 on mine. Many systems from 2003 (when Office 2003 was released) were often as slow as today's netbooks.
Office 2007 has the ability to temporarily hide the Ribbon by double clicking on one of the tabs (similar to Eclipse or NetBeans).

Many 9" netbooks were physically the same size as 10" models. The 9" screens usually had the same resolution (1024x600) as do the 10" screens.
Bullshit. The dual-core Atom CPUs use much more power than the Atom N270/N280.
Bullshit. Netbook prices are lower today.
CE 6 increased process address space to 1 GB
I was playing Flash movies on a Pocket PC five+ years ago in Pocket Internet Explorer.

Cable companies' VoIP installations frequently include batteries to provide backup power.

ODBC supports SQL including INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
Or that file could be stored on a file server or SharePoint and the data itself could come from any ODBC data source.
Or they can just use their Office macros that work just fine, since unity100 doesn't want to write custom applications for them.
And yet no one was making that comparison. Nice strawman argument.
MS Office doesn't take a long time to load on a low end laptop, though.
