> This is in stark contrast to a Mac where you will first download your app and then be told to manually sort out dependencies.
See that's the thing. We don't have dependencies. No need to run after libfoo to run appbar. Just open the DMG, drag and drop to wherever (/Applications is nice) and run.
Well, in regards to Poland - you're wrong. Era (our t-mobile) sells the phones unlocked by default, same thing with Plus and the new Play network.
The only backwards network that doesn't do this is orange, but that's because it's owned by a frenchie monopolist.
The people who have rooted phones have this bug patched. However the version number is not what rogers expects.
Some factual errors there kiddo
What does the United States make anymore?
Software
BZZTT! Wrong! Well, kinda wrong. If we're talking about commercial software, then you kinda have this one right - Apple for example. But Microsoft has its pony everywhere right now, especially in india (don't believe me? check out the last names in the 'about' box. How many of those are american?)
And then we have open-source, which again is all over the place.
Even games are made almost equally or less in the US than they used to be. MMO's are koreas pony. Ubisoft Montreal, DICE (Sweden).
Aircraft
Will skip this one, since i don't have the sufficient knowledge
Microprocessors
BZZZT! Wrong again!
Sure, intel is US-based. But the best fabs they have is Jerusalem based as far as i know. AMD/ATi is fabless and uses TSMC. Pretty much anyone who isn't intel is using TSMC or something in the likes of those, because making or mainatining a fab in the US is too expensive. Check it out - pretty much all of the components of this computer are made in Asia (CPU - Malaysia, RAM - China, LCD - china, and so on..). The only US thing about is the "Design by Apple in California" text..
Automobiles
Hahahah! Maybe from the perspective from a US consumer, since you all drive hummers and SUVs there. And is GM even still making cars? Like, NORMAL cars? Right now Daewoo is making cars with Chevy brand. How low is that? The rest of the world enjoys the comfort, safety and economy of japanese (toyota, honda) and european (renault, volksvagen, audi..) cars.
Food
If your country cannot even provide food for its own populace, its in for some deep shit. Take a look at some african nations right now for an example. This is NOT a saving grace of ANY kind.
Btw, this was not meant as a flame, but i guess it went the rant-way. Whatever, i got karma to burn, and some Americans here are overdue for their wake up.
Seems the developers of VMWare and Parallels are in disagreement with you.
So, the version i am running from Snow Leopard, that says "compatible with Windows 7" right there on the setup screen is actually NOT compatible with windows 7.
FTFA:
You cannot run your Mac applications simultaneously
No one notified me of this! Ive been running it like that since I installed it!
You cannot safely resize the Mac or Windows partitions
Got me again! Next time i'll try it, i'll make sure to do it as unsafely as i can.
You cannot easily transfer files between the two partitions (without third-party support)
I'll stop using the hfs driver in boot camp right away (once i learn to disable it. Damn apple making stuff just work).
Seriously, anyone reading CNet for legitimate stories should have his head checked.
Then how come does it have GNU in the name? GNOME = Gnu Network Object Model Environment ?
However, i do feel that RMS is batshit insane, and that the GNOME ppl are doing the right thing.
Despite being a design that is over 5 years old, the WRT54GL is still one of the best selling routers on Newegg. It has nearly 3,000 user reviews, the best wireless router rating on the website, and has been nominated for the "best router" category for the last 30 consecutive months.
There's one problem tho. After you get to faster speeds (above 25MB), even the wired packet switching in that baby can't handle the speed. Right now i have a 50MBit DOCSIS 3.0 connection from my ISP, yet when using my trusty 54gl as a router for the connection, when 3 clients try to use the network, they only get about 11-12mbits per client. ON WIRE. The g-generation hardware just wasnt built for these kinds of speeds.
Tthere is a n-generation router that in my eyes serves as the 54gl (which i still use successfully after patching it with an SD card and running openwrt on it), has beefier hardware, and dual-band radio. Linksys wrt-610nl. Faster CPU, gigabit on all ports, dual-band radios, compliant with the full n specification (not draft n), and usb. Oh, and it runs dd-wrt and openwrt (which i will flash on it right after i unpack it - i don't have any need for the stock firmware). The only thing thats wrong with it is the price, and that's to be expected.
