Well done Sony!!!

Removing OtherOS was really the way to go (to involve the only one that was best not to piss off).

The M101z...

...is not a netbook.

The dual core CPU wipes any Atom processor away.

Don't forget...

...to put the $149 you need to pay for the MI-FI device into the equation.

Not to mention that the ridiculous monthly fee.

Next time...

...go for "The player" mask, it comes with matching gloves.

Look for SPFX masks and look for yourself.

Are we still in the sixties?

No, seriously...

And Steve replied...

"Our goals do not include helping you(r people) get a good grade. Sorry.

Please leave us alone."

Why?

What is the reason for mixing sub-notebooks with netbooks?

Every country...

has the right to expel unwanted people.

The UK could expel and ban anyone as "undesirable", so I really do not understand what te fuss is all about.

You want to stay in a place? Get a job and pay taxes and apply for citizenship.

If you cannot sustain yourself or if you want to be a parasite living by illegal means you are not welcome. Since you are NOT a french/british/italian/german citizen, SURPRISE, you are sent back to your own country.

Because...

...selling hardware at ridiculously high prices is not enough.

Simple solution

Ban India and the problem will solve overnight: same happens on Linkedin.

Dumb as ever

In "RipOff Ireland (tm)" they sell Dell laptops with inferior specs - compared to Dell website - at 90-120 euro more a piece.

Then they complain that sales are flat. :/

Nonsense.

@kain preacher

Oh, and by the way it's PEDANT, not pendant.

See how many things you can learn on "the internet" ?

Not even the basics

VLAD the impaler, also known as Dracula.

Bugfixing is slow

Some time ago I wrote a detailed report on a regression related to spam filtering.

It was severe (data loss) and needed to be fixed as soon as possible. Even if I was reporting the problem at every milestone release, and even if the bug report contained everything needed to reproduce the bug, it took the developers NINE FRIGGING MONTHS to agree on what to do and fix the damn thing.

There is also this philosophical matter where your own email gets hidden if your own address is in the address book and the To: field gets changed in "To: you".

This would enable someone very smart to usa a recipient like "The idiot <user@domain.tld>" without you noticing.

A report for this was onoened 1.5 years ago. There are new discussions oone week on and one week off, but NOTHING has been done.

I have identified another bug that leads every time to data loss, but this time I will use my time in a more proficient way, like not giving a shit about reporting it.

Oracle is like Midas

To bad they have the rare ability to turn things into shit.

Magic carpal tunnel syndrome for everyone at "just" 59 quids.

If you thought the mouse was bad, try to move your hand for 5 minutes on a raised block-notes and see how much strain this thing is going to put on your wrist..

With a body made of glass...

...why the hell didn't they put a frigging large antenna panel INSIDE?!?

About the price...

...WTF?!? For 400£ I could buy Apple stuff.

What is the problem people?!?

It's a browser for users that are into social media.

It provides access to social media and collaboration sites "on the side" of regular browsing, without the need to have 1 tab constantly open for facebook, 1 for flickr, 1 for twitter and so on.

It was nice to use for me, but I did abandon it because support to extensions was limited at the time.

Instead of criticising it without knowing what it is all about, try it. Maybe you will like it.

Doesn't work for me...

I need to write something on paper in order to have access to visual memory and remember it.

Drawing balloons or lines just creates a mess that cannot be re-organized.

Some time ago my manager was thrilled by the idea of having a document expressed through mind maps. The result was the usual: doubled effort compiling the actual document AND extrapolating a mind map for him to be happy.

So, not for me.

Gnome/KDE have the appeal...

...of a transvestite.

You can take a look at the inconsistency of the GUI since the first boot clicking on the envelope and on the IM icons on the upper right and... surprise, same options!!!

That's because...

...in other European countries - for instance during xmas - there are no huge queues of people "assaulting" off license stores struck by the fear that the place could close before they had the chance to buy 36 cans each of whatever booze is left on the shelves.

Or in simpler words: not all the European countries are obsessed with drinking as Ireland and UK are.

And the cherry on top weas an idiotic question by a colleague of mine while we were working in paris for a couple of weeks: "Hey, isn't it strange that it is friday and at 3PM I haven't seen drunk people yet?"

Doctired code

What about it they provide a patched source code but the software installed in the radar is faulty?

What pisses me off...

ONE idiot straps a bomb to his ass on a US flight and as the result the rest of the world is forced to harass and stress travellers to make the US government happy.

Also now we are in a situation where any terrorist could just collapse economies all over the world by just opening a door of going past a security check without folliwing "the procedure" and without the need to kill anyone.

Imagine the Newark accident happening every single day in any western airport one day on and one day off...

Pathetic.

No SW upgrades

I foresee 90% of probability that this will never get a firmware upgrade.

LG never cares about fixing anything in their mobiles.

WTF?!?

Firefox and Thunderbird were created because the developers said that the Mozilla Suite (that offered a browser and an email client in a single executable) was too bloated and unpleasant to use.

I really do not understand the reasons for going back with a project like Seamonkey.

Unless it is like for the soap for the washing machines where one year they sell you the one "just for the whites" and the one "just for the colored" and then they sell you the one "for the whites and the colored" one year on and one year off.

Re: Do Apple Inc sell servers??

Yes they do.

http://www.apple.com/xserve/

Licensing problems indeed

See link:

Free speech anyone?

Enough said.

Gentlemen you are missing the big picture here.

It is not about shops not being able to diagnose the problem, is about fraud and privacy infringement.

One of the shops after pushing the memory module back on the laptop called offering a motherboard replacement. Then the offer was refused, they short SOLDERED some memory pins together to replicate the fault.

Problem is that the source used for this article is not a good one.

Boot132

Thanks to Boot132 it is possible to store a set of kernel+drivers in the EFI partition created by OSX during install in order to conform to the EFI standard.

Everything loaded from this partition takes precedence over any other driver (or kernel) present in the OSX partition because the initial install or because a system update.

IIS because...

@Clueless

>Why would anybody use Microsoft IIS webserver instead of Apache????????

Because it is easier to *click click click* configure.

Oh, wait....

Already dead months ago

>Byebye sarah cronner cronicles, the ending of series 2 really made me wanna see the next series!
