Curses, semi-annual Why Can't I Edit Or Abort Said Post occurrence!

"put forth Microsoft does NOT have a extensive past history of delivering on promises?"

1. Microsoft has a long history of delivering on promises.
2. Said history is clear: they suck at delivering on promises.

Seriously? You seriously put forth Microsoft does NOT have a extensive past history of delivering on promises?

I'm really hoping that was a dry joke, not something to make something like me pop out.

Or better yet, get youself a 3D printer and start selling alternate letter sets today. Like right now. Watch the IP issues.

I'm attempting slightly funny here, but the sadness is which part of the make money plan above is the hard part. No, it ain't the time or actually making the letters.

The real issue here is Money. Simple.

Vendors out there can produce a product without the expensive user-interfacing bits. A couple hundred dollar item is available for them to leverage their sale of inexpensive software. Add on the fact that consumers are in the mood to spend money quickly on smartphone-related items and bang, money maker!

Never mind how crappy these products turn out. I mean, take a look at a Radio Control car monitoring system, where a phone is used to display and interface. LIkely the phone might get dropped taking it in/out of the radio or some other damage? Nah!

My biggest cheer for SG:U was when Rush was "gone", literally. Yelled, jumped up and down, etc.

  Yeah, later very sad when he came back. Hate that character.

Curious, how does the Pi match up to say a Netgear 300N running custom firmware?

I got my Netgear for about $35 on sale.

SG:U was just bad for most SG1 fans.

I tried the first season, hated it more and more each episode.

SG1 on the other hand, I am watching again right now! Go team, get Apophis AGAIN!

Yes, their justification that their movie will be pirated, so might as well put it on a pirate site to begin with.

Adding a couple of peachtree items to tease people as "pirates", when in fact this is not a pirated work, is way out of line.

Personally, enough to turn me off right there.

Neither does using a protocol like torrent. Tools do not make one a pirate.

Really? $3 more seems "way too much"?

I could find $3 in pennies easily, it's just not much these days.

I agree with the donation idea, putting it on Pirate Bay like they did with their attitude is certainly annoying.

xfce works mostly for me, though it is setup with separate X sessions on each monitor. This means, yes, separate virtual desktop per monitor, but no, apps can't cross monitors. Not a bad deal.

One of the reasons I don't like Python:

As long as there is enough memory....until there isn't. Oops.

Similar here, I decided to pick up Ruby because it is very perl-like. However, number of perl opportunities is low compared to Ruby-on-Rails.

Major cause: person kept alive
Solution: uhhh....

I'm a guy who recently had a piece of matter removed from the brain area and am still recovering six months later.

What's your point? Better that I was already dead?
