uh huh, and I've ten stories of utter failure of chkdsk after loss-of-power for your one. robust except when it isn't. of course, I have the same complaint about ext3.
Exactly, for all the "ext3 journaling" blah, blah, blah, I've had far more unrecoverable disk failures on Linux than I have on NTFS.
Actually, NTFS usually doesn't need to be defragmented in most cases until the drive fills up. In actual practice, if you never fill the drive, you will get around a 1% performance improvement by defragmenting.
I want to be like Mitt, who would convince his cronies to invest 10% in a fund, and then borrow the remaining 90% from the banks, using the targeted company in the leveraged buyout as collateral -- that means transferring the 90% debt to the target company. (I’m going to buy a car, what’s your collateral, the bank asks me, the car I’m buying, I reply, try the bank next store, they reply.)
Not that I love Mitt Romney or anything, but isn't that how ALL car loans work?
I had this happen to me up until I threatened to haul him into small claims court and then after winning that case sue him for libel. I got a refund, but still had a negative feedback mark.
Except that many people agree that TiVo's patents are among the most pure of any patent. Recording TV on a hard drive was actually very innovative and unique when they first did it. And now they are keeping people from copying their hard work without paying licensing fees.
Actually, I paid for Lifetime DVR service (for TiVo) on DirecTV about a decade ago. They still don't charge me for DVRs, even though I have DirecTV DVRs now.
1. Asus Transformers are currently reselling for about 75% of original price. That seems pretty high for a technical product.
2. You really think that all of these aren't also available for Android? Nice to see Apple FINALLY has an RDP option. That was missing for quite a while.
3. The built-in browser is essentially Chrome (based on Webkit) so the browser is likely very similar. Firefox and Opera are also options. And a terrific Android-specific browser called Dolphin. The only things missing are Safari and Internet Explorer, so no great loss.
4. The iPad 2 wont show movies from an SD card or external drive. It won't run emulators or DosBox. It won't allow you to view your photos without an expensive, buggy hardware option. It doesn't come with a USB port. I can go on for a long time about all the things an iPad won't do.
I disagree. There was a time when Microsoft phones were starting to gain on Palm. At this point, I had a problem with installing an app on my PC and then on the phone. It just simply never made it to the phone. While on the phone with support, I asked the guy why I couldn't just download and install software on the phone itself, since it already had an internet connection.
His response: Nobody would want to do that.
Apple's customers did want that, and they got it.
So, I disagree that if Microsoft had done it, it wouldn't have been well-received. If they had made an app store (or at least a format that installed directly on the phone that people could have put on their websites) and had made the interface so that everything wasn't buried 3 dialogs deep ON A PHONE!!!, they would have won the marketplace.
Xtr? What the heck kind of a month name is that? Was this made by C programmers or something?
Call it Undecember (following the September, October, November, December pattern) or Obam (following the July, August pattern) or Jeez (following the gods pattern) or at least spell out Extra.
Yeah, I've run Help Desks for companies and even got into an argument once or twice (not proud of it), but not with a customer this nice. This guy is a 1 on the Help Desk Difficulty Scale.
But poor service or making your product on the backs of sweatshop labor ARE reasons to avoid a product. And I want to be told about them. Usually, the reviews are at least honest, even if vengeful. I can sort through them easily enough if I see that sort of thing.

Where's my Mod points? That's seriously funny.
Imagine the salaries some employees could command...

Don't worry. They'll come to you.
This would be funnier with a video clip...
Except the Optimus Maximus keyboard. It was vaporware even AFTER it was released.
1. Install DOSBox on your Raspberry Pi.
2. Install Windows 95/98 in DOSBox. Windows 95 on DosBox guide.

Basset horn? Is that a lazy horn with long ears that lays on the couch all day instead of playing?
Actually, ReplayTV was first, but TiVo had several innovations in their second version that made it better than ReplayTV.

Of course it's important. Without it, we wouldn't have Narnia or Lord of the Rings...

By the way, love, love, love my Transformer.

Don't pick a fight with the guy who runs YOUR convention.

Sounds like yet another high court/low court law...
