Fuck off Kiwi, you're still lower down the ladder than Maunder, at least he turns up to have the one beer and piss off, you don't arrive. If Kiwiland is so good why do we have more Kiwi's living here than New Zealand has?

Do you run windows for a week without rebooting ?
I've never had a Windows phone so I can't answer that. Unless you meant my desktop, if so yes - I never shut down my primary desktop except when an update forces me to. At night it just goes into hibernate mode. But again, I am really talking about a mobile OS here. And typically they are kept thin and nice so they can run for months before you have to reboot.

I don't even do that much; I just leave them running and turn off the monitors. The only times I have problems are when either adobe or Java apps play up, because they almost invariably take the computer down with them (slowly and unrecoverably, like a cliff collapsing).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Having tons of applications on the iPhone (and any other "intelligent" phone) is plain and simple stupid; there seems to be a race to see who's moron enough to have the most application and prove the iPhone (and other phones) does not work as advertised I have maybe 12 applications that I use on a regular basis (out of maybe 30 downloaded, but not actually _on_ the phone); I do a lot of house-cleaning. Heck, even on my personal desktop I only have has less than 20 applications installed at one time since I owned a computer; and use 3, 4 on a regular basis (excluding browsers, email clients, ... )
Watched code never compiles.

I could get into this perspective thingy.
Plug-ins for Opera run in their own processes, so they don't screw up the browser. IE & FF'll catch on sooner or later.

Bizarrely, the only issue I've had with any Apple product, is that the Telstra wireless connection software crashes my Mac. Other than that, no bricks here. I run all the updates.

OK, Guys, that settles it: DON'T BUY APPLE PRODUCTS! Reasoning: - Everything that works for everyone else breaks when Cristian enters the building. - Apple works for Christian, ergo it will break for everyone else (as CM, our guinea pig, proved).

Build a bridge, build a fuckin' bridge, you stupid sheep shagger, I work with computers not in construction. Plus I'm a Cockroach, Maunder and Graus are the Mexicans, they're originally from South of the border (Victoria for those not in the know).

Culture! Been to New Zealand on numerous occasions, when there the only culture besides me was in the off milk, not even the yoghurt had any culture.
