WinCE (lol) had a feature that would let you change the ringer for unknown numbers. I could tell instantly, without picking up the phone, if I knew that person. Wish my current phone had that.

Yeah, Eric is wrong about this. His argument boils down to, "If we let chefs have any knife they wanted, they'd choose the ones that cut most efficiently and proceed to cut themselves! We can't have that, now can we?" In

Ok- I'll tell you what. In compromise toward the middle-ground, I'll only eliminate art that I don't value. With some simple common-sense, I think we can really fix the art world.

It was the first phone I'd bought in 7 years that didn't let you add your own ringtones. That's how far behind it was. I didn't get copy/paste for about a year. It's like you guys were -trying- to cargo-cult th

Shock and amazement. At this point, they're not pursuing IOT or anything similar and will have a very hard time trying to do so in the future given their behavior. I'm sure the entire effort was losing money, but with their revenu

No, it died when MS decided to hobble its API in their thirst to get anything out the door. 3 months after release, it still didn't have major UI components released to devs. A year later, they still didn't have it worked out with

No, it's not. Also- wrt SQL Server ignore anything they say about GUID's as indexes. Just don't cluster them. Also- enjoy the benefit of not having to ever ask the DB what the pk of those records you want to insert is going t

aren't there much more efficient ways of doing this? You're also limited to just the species it can reproduce in- don't you want to clear smaller species too?

VS is probably the only reason that WPF is being touched at all. Eventually, they'll say that VS is dead and VSCode is the new VS, then we'll be off WPF and win32 ties, it'll also put to bed the "Why is VS not 64bit yet?

Ended up dropping it in favor of the rPi-- the primary reason was that the sdcard (I was using the arduino-compat board) just randomly sets the filesystem to readonly anywhere from minutes after boot to days. It's also expensive relati
