Bought Windows 8, its been crashing non-stop, yesterday it would not allow me to log in at all!
My wife, said "enough of this piece of crap. I am not an IT person and I know this OS is unuseable...but do you persist trying?"
So, I asked for my refund (it was actually fairly simple to do). And Windows 7 is back on in full glory. I wonder how many people have done this? The operator said that there's was quite a few. Would love to hear the stats on that.
I'll stick to Android for touch screens. W8 is useless and stupid on a desktop. Hard to believe this OS had actually gone through a testing cycles.
Thanks for listening to my rant, I feel much better now!
And I'll add in some of my experience which actually circles back somewhat to the original topic.
My wife is Brazilian (see!)...I am in my mid 40s...I and my wife have been watching porn for as long as I could get hard (back then was in printed magazines). We both watch each alone and together as well.
And guess what? We still have great sex, I have no problem ejaculating, fast if I want to...or taking longer if she wants a longer experience. And after these years, we are still very active...worse weeks are twice...average is 3-4 times. And I can still go double within an hour...and do occasionally just to verify that I can still do it!
I have to admit, I do have the perfect wife! Actually I suggest to most north american should marry a brazilian woman instead of the boring women in N.A....but that's another topic altogether!
So, I dont believe porn is a reason to not be able to sexually active with a partner.
Showing my loss in technical knowledge, but arent Android apps all pretty much Java, rebaked in a specific format? So is Android vulnerable to this or simply browser plugin exploits?
What I want to know is when will we be outsourcing management? That is where the real savings are!!!
How hard can it be? Yes/No/Delegate/Yes/No/Delegate.
Well who wants to watch Hoolywood movies anyways? I have been watching more and more foreign content, even with subtitles, there's is lot a of good content produced.
Maybe if we're lucky MS and DRM associates will have financial troubles; I can see a future where people (me and others) will pay for content from independents that are fine with you burning it to DVD. Maybe a bunch of new creative media companies will come out of all this mess. I already download and watch a free shows such as http://welcometothescene.com/.
I can see a future in the same vein as podcasts for videos (probably some of it is already there). Just ask radio stations if they like podcasts? In a way they've had to comply!
Just moderate your blog if you dont want spam to show up! If you have time to blog, you have time to moderate.
And its tahts too much work! Outsource moderation (if you can find the same labour pricing!)
Doesnt that remind you of IBM? In the 80s? I worked at IBM at that time...and IBM truely believed that it could not only do everything in the computer land (no pun intended for the ones old enough to remember), but that it could be the best in every area of computing!!!
Well, IBM finally now knows that can not do everything!!!
How many times have they (specially Disney) have had us rebuy movies or music?
I have drawers fulls of VHS and same DVDs for the kids...
How many of us have gone from vinyls to CDs? Now they want us to buy DVD-Audio 96...
And they still dont know how to turn a profit?
Are they surprised we dont want to buy again? And frankly CloneDVD removes all these annoying ads and "dont-skip" crap they force down on us.
No, I dont buy DVDs or CDs anymore, why would I? What is my incentive? Its actually quite the reverse with all the crap they put on it. Same thing with watching live TV...why? When I can watch a TV show in 20 or 40 mins...even faster if I skip part I dont care...
On demand has arrived, and has been around for awhile (just in the background), get with the program or be left in the dust...
This whole DRM-thing and adding crapolos to CDs and DVDs, wheres the value? I'd rather not touch them period.
I dont care if Disney or Hollywod productions go busts...I dont even watch them anymore, with Netflix I can watch all the Japanese films I have ever wanted.
I had to blow up eventually. FU DRM!
AFAIK, IBM has NOT promoted a Linux desktop...They are strong supporters of Linux (RedHat and SUSE mainly) on the server, and that is doing very well thank you (growing faster than Win servers).
I'm one of the older ones that knows everything about computers (programming and internals).
But I dont know much about the details of how my car works...My dad though, knows them inside out...(And he's a personel guy).
Could it be a sign of maturing technology? I think so...
Slashdot Mirror
I have learnt my lesson (well I hope I did).
Been burned by Google a few times
1) 2012, Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV - 2012. Great keyboard, but Google stopped supporting pretty quickly, 2014?
2) Now my Amazon Fire TV stick, Google blocks YouTube app.
My next TV stick/box will for sure be a non name chineese, thanks but you (Google) are a real pain.
I dont where to vent this, but I need to.

Actually, there 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who do not. I know its an old one, but I could not resist it here

According to Wikipedia, there are at least 10 of them.

Still, agreed, that will not go too far.
We do, its just a matter of time, I would guess xmas.
Check out http://www.target.ca/, they bought Zellers awhile back.
Back to regular programming.

So, then should craigslist be closed down by the law for providing info on escort services?
There are better technologies suited to this already. Without even searching, I'm pretty sure bluetooth offer better quality already!

Good point, other better examples of product refinement (!!!) from Microsoft could be:
...or it could go the way of Web TV, Microsoft Watch...

Okay. even worse edlin (unless that is what you meant). Still ships with Windows XP! Try it!
Its better than working on TURD
Well, IBM finally now knows that can not do everything!!!
But as they original thread said, I agree that there is still a need for a United Linux kinda thing.
Or they (IBM, Oracle, etc) should simply support Ubuntu, which imho is our best chance so far from Redmond.
Wasnt it United Linux? What happened to that?!?? I guess its been dead/stagnant for 3 years now...

With a Google name on it, Corporate acceptance will be easier to sell, than simply "Ubuntu"!!!
More like Xbox 180 (back to the design board!)
Great! Now, we can easily write a script to convert all Office (Word / Excel, etc) to the OpenDocument formats!!!
Could it be a sign of maturing technology? I think so...
