What they should have done is lease or sell the boxes to their subscribers and charge a monthly service fee to keep their boxes from being attacked by viruses, etc.
That way they can't be sued for anything but installing commodity software at the owner's request.
It's a scam and they're liars. It's really as clear and un-subtle as that. When they deliver a review unit, the expectation is that it will be representative of the products that end users will by buying.
More and more I only believe Consumer Reports. They don't accept donated items for review. They purchase their own from a normal middleman to make sure what they get is what a normal person would get.
That being said, it's remarkable they're still in business.
duh.
MS is leading the way to a place where you carry you computer all the time and just drop it into a cradle when you need a bigger screen.
Something that works for well over 80% of the populace.
I'm not a fan, but the iPad would be horrible to do that with. With it's in ability to shop more then 1 window at a time.
And I own an iPad, and I like it.
Actually it would be fantastically good with a slight tweeking of the iOS UI. All you do is detect that the device is hooked into a keyboard dock and show the running tasks bar at all times. Unplug it from the dock and the tasks bar disappears.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize that Wayland 1.5 was an alpha release. Presumably it will be complete when it hits 1.0?
It's an awesome sight, and then the Japanese government was told that the U.S. had another thousand bombs of the same caliber.
The Japanese command crunched the numbers and saw that it would exterminate their race. More importantly, it showed them unequivocally that the Japanese were inferior to U.S. firepower and technological prowess.
Only works when the last working version isn't broken.
Want an example? Get an original iPad and install Google+. The version that installs won't let you get past the login screen. It's that last version that's compatible with the original iPad.
Steps:
1 - Get a RAID similar to your main storage to use as backup.
2 - Put the second RAID in a relative's house, where you can get access to it.
3 - Have this backup run an rsync over ssh once a week/month, pointing at your main storage array.
With proper ssh key exchange set up ahead of time and using an ssh username and port that are non-obvious (with ssh on your main system only allowing known keys and not username/password combinations), you'll do pretty well against everyone except a malignant government entity.
If I had to give up my privacy for a free lunch I would run the other way. And I'm sure he would have if he had a choice.
That choice was taken from him by a tabloid journalist. (I don't care who printed the story. It was tabloid journalism at it's worst.)
So I'm not the only one who's ears perked up when they thought they heard about the Cardassians show?
Oddly enough, this comment could be about ReactOS Beta, which has been promised for years now.
Though I'm personally confident that the ReactOS Beta would be more welcolm among the
I think it's a mtter of 'you reap what you sow'.
The Dice folks felt that the majority of the readers don't comment, so comments aren't that important.
What they failed to recognize is that the commenters are the community that drove the site all these years.
Most of us were there.
It wasn't nearly this bad. I hate to say it, but I really am looking to leave and not come back. Still looking for the right alternative. Hope Bruce Perens steps up...
Actually, those forums are kinda interesting.
Definitely something I can do during the slashdot boycott.
Thanks!
