Seems pointless.

Phones are bordering on having larger resolutions that many laptops and desktops these days. The IT department were trying to make me take a unit with a pathetic 1300x768 screen. Phooey. Never...

Blue water?

Don't they use that on tampon adverts?

I'm Scottish and often get German colleagues to translate my order to Aussie restaurant staff for me. Servo staff are probably the hardest to converse with.

As much as he makes working in he UK. Sound like heaven. After working and living in the uk for most of my life plus 5 years in Germany too. I gave up all the perks of a modern civilisation such as Internet access that didn't suck, amazon, decent tv, ebuyer.com etc etc. I sacrificed it all for blue skies and sunshine in NSW Australia. :)

I'm poorer now relatively speaking, but sunshine is golden.

WTF?

Manganese?

Last I heard "mn" only stands for an element in the periodic table.

It's nothing to do with the os. It's the idiots who design the GUIs. They can bring any os to its needs with stupid design and illogical though processes.

I have a GUI visualization product that has been running wince 3.0 since 2002. Never upgraded it cause it was perfect. Never crashes never fails. It's been super reliable. Boots in 4 seconds out of the box no special changes. I have a few Linux projects too. Needless to say the grass is not greener on any other side. If anything I quite respect the leanness of wince. I see it as a positive.

Like in most cases it won't be a fair comparison with fords old system to the new. They will be going from some ancient 150mhz arm chop with 65mb ram to a dual core cortex with 512mb ram, OpenGL es etc. you could do the same with Linux, or wince and the new system

Would of course be superior.

Virgin water...

Will it taste as awful as virgin cola?
