Microsoft will secretly use this as another way to force Windows 10 on those who don't want it. Leave the office at night with RHEL running. Arrive at the office in the morning...Windows 10 is there to greet you.

A patch was available for Windows almost 2 months before the wannacry worm. Your point?

It sounds like it is time to get some of that Robot Insurance from Old Glory.

They started this in Alabama at the beginning of November (I believe) for the same reason.

D/FW is not a city, it is a geographical area comprised of multiple cities. Just in the name itself D/FW (Dallas/Fort Worth) each of those are cities, plus you have Arlington between them. Those are just the major cities in that area.

They were quoting the price of the McDonald's run by Apple.

What was low quality of it? Don't like it, change it! You are not forced to use the stock interface on an Android phone, there are tons of custom interfaces out there.

What didn't "look or work" quite right? Once again, you can customize the way your phone looks, but what didn't work? Don't give the lame answer of "Everything" because both you and the rest of the /. community know that is a lame cop out when you can't think of anything. I'm not trying to say that everything works perfectly and Android is full of unicorns and rainbows. I am just curious if it is part of the actual Android system or if it is a 3rd party application that you downloaded to the phone.

Maybe I am just unique here but of the 8 people that I work with that used an iPhone 1 year ago 7 of them switched to Android after I let them use my phone and they say they are never looking back. The 1 person that has not switched is a self proclaimed "Apple fanboy" and buys every single product that Apple releases.

IIRC when the Thunderbolt first came out and no one was on the Verizon network people were getting 80Mb+ down and 20Mb+ up. I know with my Bionic I am averaging 30Mb down and 15Mb up on Verizon LTE.

I still like the Ponies April Fools better.

Pressing control-shift-escape is a lot quicker than that.

One of my co-workers was giving a presentation once (he is a self proclaimed computer expert in every facet), and he asked us "how do I make this power point presentation full screen?". We replied Alt-F4. He did it and said "hmm that is weird", and restarted power point and pressed Alt-F4 again... after attempting it 5 times he gave up and said "Oh well I guess we will just do the presentation like this".

I cant say for other games, but for World of Warcraft, they sell the in game items for in game currency, and then turn around and sell the in game currency for actual real currency. There are several websites set up that sell "X gold for $y".

Ok, how many people do you know that have Android phones?


It is kind of funny, I was on a flight about a month ago and I was sitting in the 4th row (of coach). When we landed I heard a symphony of "DROID" as every single person in my row and the 3 rows in front of me all had Motorola Droids and none of us knew each other.
