Out of interest, did you find a free VNC and SSH client?
I've only found the paid ones, which after paying for the VNC client three times on three different handsets and never once getting a reply to a mail requesting that they transfer my license to a new PIN, I'm not paying for again.

Mod Parent Up. I hadn't heard of Jasper Wireless before, but I have been looking for an international roaming data solution and they seem impressive.

I have read that such a deal would probably result in a total monopoly on the back end for Ericsson.
Thus the networks (Vodafone, O2, Orange-Mobile and Three) could have their operating costs pushed up, which would be passed on to the consumer.

Mod it up. Get it to +6. This is the most Insightful post for a long time.

I refer you to my previous post on the matter.
Most poignantly, Dizzee was No.1 again at the beginning of this month..

It is a little known fact that Acorn computers and their ROM contents cause gender identity disorders.

This guy just got destroyed.

This is one of the clearest breakdowns of a key part of successful relationships I have ever read. Bravo.

You can't board the Channel tunnel train without a passport.
You're stuck at Folkestone.
Much better to be in the Schengen zone if you've got no paperwork.

WTF is "semetic" and why's it got any modern usage?"

In a modern sense an "anti-semite" is someone who is hated by Jewish people.

Fact is they talk about using XGrid.
They're still running their non-standard FORTRAN with dependencies on compiled binaries from companies that went under for architectures that don't exist anymore except under emulation.

All those Mac users are running Terminal.

So the best just got better?

The GP makes a valid point - that conditioning explains the expectation of a situation that an enlightened person would call abusive - with an admittedly ripe analogy.

Yes, it's wrong. Application data should be separate from user data. It's a necessity in a multi-user OS.
I do want my data to remain intact across application upgrades and reinstallations.
I probably do not want to apply the same backup policy to my installed applications as to the data I create with them.

I'm just your average user, not a developer. Intuitively, when something is saved, especially something like a game save, I EXPECT it to be written to the game's fucking application directory.

This is wrong. With the huge installation sizes of modern games, I know of many average users (especially purchasers with original media) who uninstall and reinstall their games and appreciate when their saved games persist.
And why shouldn't they? Save game files tend not to be terribly big, and if I can't have 3 20GB games installed at the same time why should I have to start again every time?

These same average users are bothered by the presence of a old game folder in Program Files after uninstallation (me too!) - "Why didn't it uninstall completely?".
The answer to this is invariably that the uninstaller was not able to remove some files that were created in the application directory. And that's because they shouldn't be there.

The original ranter was bang on point.
