If I still drank "burgundy" wine there would be a cachet in drinking "burgundy" that was actually from Burgundy, but since I now drink Pinot Noir, who cares if it came from Burgundy.
Because it doesn't taste the same? Where it is made has a lot to say in how it tastes. Also, Burgundy can be made from other grapes than just Pinot Noir (which is a grape, not a style). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundy_(region)#Wine
Now, there is some logic to applying the geographical appellation to ordinary wines, because the soil and the climate potentially have significant effect on the way that the wine comes out (this is certainly true of another geographic appellation, Vidalia onions).
And it is certainly true of wine as well. Soil and weather both have a big influence on the final product.
HTC Hero (including Droid Eris) are coming soon for 6.0
Actually it's already available in the form of FroydVillain. It's what I'm currently using and it seems to be working well enough - have had a few spurious FCs, but other than that nothing that I have noticed. And it's certainly fast. Get it here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/
Actually, with Windows Phone 7 Microsoft has set a limit on the number of pre-installed apps (8 I believe) and they have to go through the same review process as any marketplace app.
You may want to read the announcement again. Actually they are going to keep selling it - just not directly, but through resellers. In fact it's scheduled to be released across Europe, through Vodafone, sometime soon.
Rumour has it that the Nexus Two is going to be a slider, made by Motorola, in the style of the Milestone/Droid.
I don't know that I would call the trackpoint ubiquitous on laptops... If I recall, IBM has a patent on the design so other manufacturers (excepting Lenovo) have to license the technology. I haven't seen anything but Lenovo laptops using them for quite awhile.
Dell certainly has them on some of their higher-end/business laptops, HP as well I believe. Sony has at least one ultra-portable sporting a trackpoint and Toshiba used to have them, but I don't know if that's still the case.
I don't know when they started doing it, but all ThinkPads come with three different caps: "cat's tongue", convex and concave. With the convex factory fitted. I used to prefer the original, but must say I have really come to appreciate the concave. First of all it doesn't chafe the finger and it gives a mechanical advantage, meaning that less pressure is required - which is great since Windows seems to have a hard time keeping different settings for different input devices and so tends to reset pointer speed etc. (it might be that it's actually the lousy Logitech drivers that are at fault here, though).
25 suicides or so. The problem that FT has (apart from being a dinosaur) is that most of their employees are functionaries, so they can't sack them (even regular employees are difficult to sack here in France, but at least it's doable). What they did then was that they shuffled people around into positions and places that management knew they wouldn't like, hoping they would quit on their own. This practice has since been put on hold.
The devs are fully aware that combat in MO isn't quite as fun as it should be and is working on it. I believe that the latest patch introduced the first part of the overhaul. (No, I'm not playing it myself - my current computer can't handle it)
and flat out refuses to run once the chip decides I'm "out" of toner.
You can probably turn that "feature" off. On my CP1515n it's called Auto Continue and is found under System Setup in the web interface. On the CP1515n the default threshold is set to 6%.
Did you actually RTFA? Sure, they send documents (might as well when they have the system), but what they're raving about in TFA is that they can send tissue samples and other bits and pieces of their patients.
You still don't. He won't make the connection between having killed the cat and you scolding him. He'll think he's being scolded for showing you the dead cat, so the next time he just won't show it to you.
The text file sounds like a good idea: If the system detects that the file is being moved to a location that does not support meta data it then asks if it should include it as a text file. Likewise the destination system can detect this text file and ask if it should be imported.

The difference is that in the case of Apple the premium is mostly justified.
I am surprised that I can't uninstall the preloaded Amazon MP3 app, though.
Titanium Backup should be able to do it.

I may be wrong but I think some networks replace the google controlled market by default with their own offering?
Not yet, as far as I know, but there has certainly been some rumbling and it will probably happen sooner rather than later.

May I suggest CCCP. I don't think I've had any problems after installing that (although it's always a good idea to have VLC around - just in case).
Same thing goes for Start button - again, it's visually 2-3px off the corner, but nonetheless a click in the corner will be detected as a hit.
I just tried it in XP, and that's indeed the case. The cursor is even moved automatically to the right so as to be within the box.

And here I thought that 128kbps meant 128 kilobit per second. Mind telling me what it actually means then?

Yeah, they make some fairly decent hardware, but their programmers seem to be a bunch of incompetent dimwits.
I haven't tried it myself, but there's also sK1.
Perhaps he's a consultant or manager.
I wish I had mod points, but I don't. So I'll just say that that was quite possibly the most insightful thing I have ever read on software patents.
You still don't. He won't make the connection between having killed the cat and you scolding him. He'll think he's being scolded for showing you the dead cat, so the next time he just won't show it to you.
You've never lived in France, I take it (well, in Nice at least).

Let's just say that BlueBeat is an interesting company.
Eh, "ipconfig /renew" should work fine. At least it does under XP - and I see no reason why it shouldn't under Vista/7.
What exactly did you do?
