Dammit people, Facebook can wait. Selfies can wait. Putting on makeup with the visor down, can wait, looking down at your lap or turning around to find that chip you dropped in your back seat can wait.

Need to talk on the phone while in the car, get a cheap BT headset or a new car with integrated voice controls. Your selfie, and status update can wait.

hahahahh Yeah true can wait.. But she is on hurry.Perfect timing to die,because she died happy like @Nic said..

MAME doesn't cover anything but arcade machines, does it? It didn't used to.

Makes me wonder how much of that xp install is legal?

More than you would have guessed or this would not have been a problem.

Company's tend to like support because it gives them someone to blame, not because it actually provides support or makes them more money. It is generally about middle managers playing politics trying to protect themselves, not about doing what is best for the business - either in cost or in ability to support the products. How often do you see commercial support actually being worth the money (outside of hardware support contracts?)

I used similar logic on Tuesday to sell a client on a new VoIP PBX. I flat out stated, "I am not an expert with system. I use it everyday, and know a lot about it. But I am not an expert because I do not have to be, because I know more than one company I can call to get paid remote support for anything I cannot handle."

Everyone in the meeting from the client gave me the oddest look for about 10 seconds until that sunk in.

It really is and Ubuntu's consumer focus is not hurting either.

Marantz is solidly mid-end. B&W is a wide range from mid end to high but no high in the gear that is at Best Buy. High end is never allowed to be sold in chains or online.

High end also never has things like center channels, receivers, etc. HiFi means the pursuit of sound alone is the goal. Everything here is still focused on convenience.

Speakers from Wilson, Totem, etc. nothing anyone outside of the audiophile space would have ever heard of. Amps from Conrad Johnson, Meridian, etc.

Real HiFi used separates. Amps, preamps, etc. tubes aren't uncommon. Wiring is a big deal. Etc.

It is hardcore stuff. Makes no sense for normal people to own. If you don't design the house around the acoustics you should never invest in that stuff as it is wasted in a small or untreated space.

OpenShift is very cool. I have worked with it some and hope to do so more in the future. It is a lot like Heroku which I have also used.

Things are getting rough over there.
