Comment Re:I had a N900 too... (Score 1) 303

It was shit. I didn't really realise quite how shit it was until I upgraded to an iPhone. Never looked back since.

It's not a phone for the general population. The N900 was a phone for hackers, developers, etc.: people who needed a pocket computer with phone functionality. Sort of the "anti-iPhone" in its philosophy. You were clearly not in the (tiny) target demographic, and whoever sold you yours was not your friend, didn't know you very well, or didn't as the right questions. (I just described a salesman, didn't I?)

Don't worry, he just read on Slashdot that the N900 was cool so he bought it. And then he read a review of the iPhone of Reddit and bought it too.

if you're young and listen to recent music, then owning is not that expensive

if you're older than dirt like myself and want to listen to lots of music from the last 40 years or longer than renting is a lot cheaper. add to this the fact that there is so much music to listen to that there is no sense in buying even single songs you might listen to a few times and then go on to something else

Oh, CRY me a TORRENT!

(Also, Led Zep is only available on Spotify, Beatles and AC/DC only on iTunes, how do I choose? No definitely, the cheapest option was to backup all my CDs -- and that's a massive lot of them. Vinyls are a bit more annoying to back up but then again... see above)

It was a pretty obvious reference to the American Founding Fathers (the UK founding fathers would make no sense in this context) and the US Constitution/Bill of Rights. The fact that it's in the UK means that the American Founding Fathers and Constitution is irrelevant to this story.

I'm pretty sure a significant part of the US population think that their constitutional rights also apply outside of the US...

Wow is all I can say. I had no idea so many people are so incompetent.

You've obviously never worked in IT support. Some woman where I worked was complaining *her PC* was too slow, until my colleague changed the speed of the mouse cursor. Then everything was fast and perfect. She even bought him coffee.

Sorry, fixed.
