I agree. This is not an apology.

sharpened and stuffed in apples.

Like I said before, /. is a text medium. Leave it alone.

This isn't You Tube. When I want videos I go to You Tube. When I want pr0n, I go to a pr0n site. When I want News for Nerds I go to /.

to a text based discussion like /.?

I think the mm in MMS stands for multimedia. This has to be downloaded and is indeed a picture of an SMS message. It is white text on a black background. I ONLY get this when the iPhone is sending to multiple senders. Otherwise, I get a plain text message. The bad part is when the group is big, it is hard to keep up with the messages as it take the phone a while to download the MMS messages.

I knew /. had certain technologies that can't be criticized but it is strange to see the truth modded to flamebait.

Messages to a single person seem to come through as normal text messages. Try sending to a group of people.

It works seamlessly to those using an iPhone. To everyone else, it seems really stupid that you are sending text messages that show up as multimedia files. To anyone on an android phone, you are sending a picture of your text message. It is typical that an iPhone user would not know that though.

The creator of /. has been slashdotted? Oh the Irony.

Azure is Down!

I can't believe he thinks that Congress has a side to tell. Their job is to listen to the people and not come up with their own version of the truth.

The problem is that Congress' side involves money from the RIAA.

Wow, I would really like this in the basement where they keep me. I have no windows and am so far underground, there is no cell signal from any provider yet, my car (parked in the parking lot) has a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean.

This is not surprising at all. What is surprising is that they gave advanced notice. Google doesn't lay down any timelines or plans for any of their schtuff. They invent it, put it out there and at some point, turn it off. How can you expect them to keep things running when they seldom even write documentation for the stuff they have out there? If they do write documentation it is released way after the release of new features and often right before a new release nullifies that documentation.

Google's view is it's ours so we will or won't support it at our whim.

Are you presenting at Gartner IT Symposium next week? What is the session name? I need to know where to bring the rotten tomatoes. Come to think about it, it doesn't matter, every session will be this horrible.

Sounds like your product is a very poor candidate for virtualization. Not all applications are good virtualization candidates. But, virtualization is great for oversubscribing without causing any problems with well behaved applications that only use what they need instead of what is available to them. My VM environment is highly over subscribed on RAM (probably about 2X what I physically have) yet I have yet to have a single incident where paging at the hypervisor level was a problem. Not once has the physical host ran out of of RAM.

Read the last line of my post. The are opening the door for competitors to come in and take their business. I was suggesting that they would lose my business if they continue down that path. I guess I should be more clear so the trolls can't come in and try to change the meaning of what I meant. VMware is shooting themselves in the foot with this licensing money grab. I thought they would have learned better from their parent company (EMC) that is bleeding customers right now.
