[quote who="Uvah" reply="7" id="3324179"] Dr Guy.....if you've only had it two months it should still be covered under warranty. I'd take it back and get me a refund. No sense having something you paid for that doesn't work.[/quote] It was a Christmas Present. My wife is a legal expert - but not a technology one. This is the first time she actually got me something geekie, so I am hesitant to return it.

[quote who="kona0197" reply="3" id="3324083"]My daughter's Android has no way to shut down apps as well. Or none that I know of. She has to restart that machine about once a month to get it to work right.[/quote] I have run across that as well. and had this been a real comparison between Android and RT, that would be a wash.But this was just a rant against Surface RT. Android has some issues of its own (like only playing MP4s, not AVI or DIVX formats). I noted that S
[quote who="kryo" reply="2" id="3324077"]The RT is a consumer tablet. WinRT is still in its infancy and isn't really intended for enterprise users who require VPNs or other apps to facilitate corporate security/policy requirements.[/quote] That is an understatement. But yes, it is the consumer version. However, many companies are setting up access for BYOD devices. Surface RT has made sure you cannot. If my Company wants to get me a Pro (an overpriced under
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="1" id="3324073"] Do you mean Javascript, rather than Java? Very few sites I've run across require Java (it's not even installed on my machine) but a high percentage need to be able to run Javascript. Either way, it's sad to hear your horror story.[/quote] Yes, I use the 2 interchangeably. Sorry for my misstatement.
[quote who="tazgecko" reply="10" id="3324171"] "Angie Gallant",never heard of her. [/quote] That's a good point. By mentioning her, you are feeding her ego. I doubt she has 10% of the name recognition you do. But if you mention her, she will close the gap.
I am sorry, there is no nice way to put it. I have had the thing for 2 months now, and find about the only thing it is good for is playing movies. It is not even good to surf the web as you cannot load Java! I know MS hates that (preferring ActiveX), but unfortunately many sites use it. I also cannot use Logmein, VPN, VMWare View, or even OWA! There is no hard client for VPN, and since RT does not do Java, you cannot use the Anyconnect. VMWare View has a

They will lower the limit on the number of employees. The justification will always be the same. The poor worker. So your friend is fighting a losing battle.
Mercedes 200s in Germany seemed to be the entry level for most people. Every other car seemed to be one.
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="3" id="3320339"]That's flat out nuts, L-O. Simply crazy talk.[/quote] The incessant use of terms he has no clue about is a dead give away. Someone told him that a word was a pejorative, so he uses it without understanding what he is talking about.

Your hotel room sounds like an apartment we had in Presidio. I really hate roaches, and that "Creepshow" vignette with E. G> Marshall did not help matters.
I guess with everyone paying attention to DA14, the ten ton rock seemed to be a ho-hummer!
I have the pleasure of NOT tarping anything down. However, I also had the pleasure of splitting wood yesterday. It has been some time, and yes I am sore! Getting old sucks! ;-)
I have seen a lot of separations due to the military. It is indeed hard on the ones left behind. That you never got use to it is an indication of the love you have for BFD, and he for you. It is not something to be ashamed of. It is something to show others.

The "non-call" was made with 1:45 to go. Plenty of time to drive and kick a field goal - using a "what if". They did win, so they are the better team (or were that day).

[quote who="moshi" reply="11" id="3318208"]and for the small companies: just look at all those successfull independent developers that make money with iOS apps. they would probably make next to nothing if they'd have to do all promotion, distribution and sales themselves[/quote] Different small companies. I am talking about the 25 or less outfits that use computers, not who create programs. They are the ones that suffer when you restrict their options. <p

People care. But they have been deceived by the MSM into thinking that only Obama can make it better. They want the person who created the mess to make it better by doing the same thing that created the mess. Any wonder they are insane?
