Not a troll, I genuinely want to know what benefit it is. You can already load any software, there aren't custom distros of the OS to load, you aren't tied to an 'App Store', so how useful is this really?
I also notice that it requires a beta of the OS, so how long-lived will this 'jailbreak' be? Is it something RIM can fix before releasing 2.0 to the general public?
Apple managed to get a stay in the lifting of the ban until 4pm Friday, to give them enough time to get an urgent High Court hearing, so the way isn't clear for Samsung just yet.
I've found that generally, the shipped-with-windows driver can get you by for most printing, but if you have a multi-function and want to scan then it's the HP bloatware. Even on the models (I've used) with a web interface, they have a basic scan function through the browser, but anything else pretty much requires the install CD. Which then gives you not only drivers, but all the rest of the bloat, the background processes with totally non-descriptive names, the extra services (also with non-descriptive names), the 'Shop for Supplies here!' BS, the auto updater that calls home, and the rest. You can manually weed some of it out..but not all. If you try to uninstall parts, it bitches and moans that it is required for functionality (I don't think that HP Photosmart Essentials is a vital component, and I sure as hell don't want or need it. Same with the 'Solution Center'). At least that's my experience.
Virgin floppy hmm...Does size matter? I have a box of virgin 5.25" SS/SD disks, being older and still virgin would they work better than say a 3.5" disk?
Strangely enough, all of the tapes I have checked recently (which is not my entire collection!) of good ol' C64 tapes, and even earlier Vic-20 tapes, are still intact and work fine! I fully expected most of them to be unreadable. Some of the Vic-20 tapes are now pushing..(counts on fingers..) 25 years. Pretty impressive for cheap-ass 60 minute compact cassettes. Maybe thats your solution? A Vic-20 and datasette
Is this a 'Change of Stance', ie a change of what had previously been announced, or more of a clarification/refining the details? I may be wrong but I don't recall RIM saying anything other than 'will have future Android support', which is kind of vague
How is that pro-Microsoft? What I said still stands, it is my personal experience. Bing seems ok, I haven't used it enough to have an in-depth analysis, I prefer to use Google. Google does not have a monopoly on searches. There are viable alternatives.
Bullshit. There is more than one search provider. Granted one is dominant, but it does not have an absolute stranglehold on the service it provides. Anyone can choose not to use it. I haven't used Bing extensively, but when I have, it seems like a reasonable alternative.
I'm sure that MS would provide a totally fair, unbiased, perfectly even playing field if Google were to advertise on Bing.
But then..MS does need to make Bing profitable somehow..
Serious question - if the payments are made by CC, can't you just go to your CC provider, dispute it as fraudulent, and have it charged back?
Or are the CC providers of the 'you consented, tough luck sucker' mindset?
+1 if I had mod points. I had these a'holes contact friends, relatives (not necessarily overlapping groups there), I heard 3rd hand about these calls, they were absolutely rampant for a period of time. It is the parent, grandparents, the casual users that get stung, and often can't afford it.
That's interesting..My bank has a dedicated iPhone banking app as well (we are probably talking about the same bank, given you refer to afl.com.au, starts with a W?) but for Android and BB users it sends you to a web page. I thought that they were just being Apple fanbois, but I never considered that aspect.

I agree with you, but stranger things have happened..

ESPECIALLY if you have a foot fungal growth!
Fallout NV being one of the offenders

Indeed..and banks, ebay, the Post Office, lotteries, and so on. Not much FB can do about those type of scams.
HP Printer drivers. 'nuff said.
Bow Ties are cool
What is this 'sex' of which you speak? Can it be found in basements, or the bottom of Cheetos boxes?
Will they fit it with windows and flyscreens, so they can open them to keep cool?
What IS the secret ingredient in this one? Rounded corners?

It is, but we are dealing with government and/or law after all...

What is this "extradited" of which you speak? I thought that Obama just sent covert SEAL teams in by helicopter to deal with this kind of behaviour.
