Re: Returns

I signed in just to vote him down as i've had mine since June/July(? one or the other) and it's not even got a scratch.

If you drop your phone or treat it like shit it won't last long whatever brand it is.

Incoming joke...

The number of apps in Windows Store - Microsoft’s online software shop - has apparently doubled in 10 days.

...to 4 apps. One for each Windows Phone owner =P

I don't...

I'll believe in man-made catastrophic climate change when it can be proven that it is actually man-made and the people who prove it are not either an energy company or paid by one.

Since when did people start believing everything without being shown any proof?

And for the record i believe Obama is American, 9-11 was Al Qaeda and the moon landings were real etc...

Re: Inquiring Minds Want To Know

There was a citation already i place using Astro and Bender, it's clearly a myth though and now exposed it can be fixed.

If you're not notable your page would just get deleted by someone else down the line, it's a basic policy that only verifiable and noteable stuff is kept

Re: Inquiring Minds Want To Know

The 2 Wikipedia articles perpetuating that myth will be repaired. Thanks for pointing that out as i have myself assumed it to be Astro and Bender and kept them in 2 articles.

Thanks again dx!

Mostly correct...

You missed out the part where admins are not as necessary as they were since they can't have time to edit with all the beurocratic crap that takes up their time and the fact you can apply for extra permissions without having to become an admin, with the extra work load that entails.

Plus with 4 million articles there's gonna be slower growth as there's less stuff to write about.

Anyone complaining about getting reverted, if there's no citation (proof) in the firm of a reliable source (not daily mail) included with your addition it will quite often be tagged and challenged.

Fascinating...

If screen print still works then sell it as modern art

I'm sure it will sell better than these Blue Screen Of Death prints i sell occasionally

“Pornography’s inherent objectification of women and children for sexual pleasure"

So gay porn is fine then =P

They have some nerve going on about child porn anyway, especially since a large percentage of kids are introduced to it in church...

Since when can you OWN the name of an animal?

I await the man from Del Monte suing Windows for the names of their Windows Phone updates...

I also eagerly await iOS Owl so we can see Apple sue al the nature reserves with animals of the same name

Re: My only question for the idiots against gay marriage is ...

Reminds me of an email i got back when proposition 8 was on the cards in California:

Why Gay marriage is wrong:

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. Also apparently those homosexual animals have picked up some unnatural behavier

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

Re: Sir Strider

Amazon reviews tell a different story, i never scoured the web, i just checked the one place i would buy from. And i'm glad there is no limited installs although having to use Steam is still a kick in the face for people who just want to pop the disc in and play without being forced to download adware.

Ubisoft i have no knowledge from, except Bioshock, but again i have no knowledge of their DRM restrictions so not really got anything there to add

And so the end result should be...

Stop treating customers like criminals and damaging their gaming enjoyment, while also limiting the amount of installs a game people BUY can have.

I stopped buying PC games years ago for this very reason and it's getting worse.

Roll on the collapse of Sony, EA, Steam and Blizzard

...Steam because i wanted to buy Civilization 5 but it has to register with Steam every time and limit the amount of installs i can have, which would mean i have to buy another copy every 6 years.

Almost paid too much!

I was about to buy number 6 from amazon for £55 before i spotted this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet%C2%AE-Dual-Port-Universal-Ericsson-Blackberry/dp/B000UH46YY/ref=pd_cp_ce_0

It's exactly the same thing, much better reviews, thinner, same parts and battery capacity...less than half the price!

"the bulk - 60 per cent - comes from manufacturing its devices."

So 60 percent of the energy is directly from the chinese battery farms producing these shiny things 24 hours a day until the workers manage to pry a window open and can turn themselves into human compost?

WTF?

Crazy and uncompetitive!

If i move to France and make something similar to what someone else makes can i then sue because they have an advantage and more of a foothold in the country?

Madness!?

If Google's doing better then get off your arse and lower your prices and compete

This is just uncompetitive what the French government's response is

Kinda, maybe, not so much...

As a Wikipedia editor i don't see the problem with this.

Wikipedia is overly beurocratic for simple things and i expect this is what scares people off from joining.

vandalism edits can be undone simply and quickly, vandal IP addresses blocked easily too and there's also countless bots trawling through recent edits to find vandalism.

If someone adds something to Wikipedia, it's a doddle to source it and keep it or disprove it and remove it in minutes.

Tell ya what technohead95.

My Xoom is less than 6 months old and if it doesn't get supposrt for Ice Cream Sandwich at the LEAST then i'll buy Sony Ericsson next time and not renew my future workplace contracts with them.

If Motorola won't keep a product up to date for even 1 YEAR then it's disgusting they can milk customers for more money rather than doing updates.
