    I should have been more clear. I meant simply "Windows", and not specifically Windows Mobile. Technically, it's running XPe, which is Windows XP Embedded with SP3, which is the last release prior to the newer Windows Embedded Standard 2009 which offers many updated features, including...

    That's because Silverlight is the primary development environment for Windows Phone and Windows Mobile, and that's what the QC runs on.

    Good cop fired, stopped brutality

    It's kind of the definition of all forum SPAM, which is "messages that are advertisement, abusive, or otherwise unwanted on Internet Forums." Since the sole purpose of The Soapbox is for expressing opinions to spark conversation, you kinda need to express one when posting. Otherwise it's either...

    I am being nice. I really like having to install Microsoft Silverlight and use Microsoft Internet Explorer just for one Web site. It's nifty. Breaks up the boredom. :D

    Good cop fired, stopped brutality

    Posting links or entire articles, without any comments of your own, is nothing more than SPAM. You do realize that, right?

    Fun times to come

    You've posted a link to someone else's opinion, while offering up no thoughts of your own to get any kind of discussion going. I've moved it from the General Forum to the Soapbox where it maybe belongs, but can you give any reason why this post shouldn't just be deleted for being pure SPAM for...

    You'll fry the transmission because the transmission oil doesn't circulate when it's towed. If you cannot or do not remove the drive shaft, then it's 35 miles max, and at 35 MPH max. Don't know about the new Sprinter's drive shaft, but the older ones are just 4 bolts. Easy to get off. Then tie...

    Multiple Number Cell Phones

    Google Voice does exactly that.

    No longer a spokesman in my book.

    Well, "I've got extra room on the truck," is a little different than "Gimme a load". One is a unique circumstance and the other is routine. I can look at it as being proactive, too, but what keeps coming back to me is that I've been told, more than once, by people in Operations, not to call...

    How many trucks do we have in Expedite? And just how many "I want a load" phone calls can Jeremy field during the average day without being distracted from his job? I'm conflicted here. I'm told not to call and bother dispatch, because they are working on finding me a load, and if a load is...

    here we go again

    Sorry. My bad. I got confused when you publicly stated that this thread belongs in the Soapbox, and didn't direct your comments to anyone in particular. I took it to be directed at anyone who is able to move the thread to the Soapbox. If it was intended solely for the OP, then a PM might have...

    Offensive Signage?

    I believe that if you had used the word "аss", people would have taken that to be a euphemism for "donkey" and would have taken it to mean a racist statement towards Mexicans. <snort> For those trying hard to be offended, you'll be just all giddy after reading this.

    here we go again

    Road checkpoints are certainly expediter topics. Just because someone also has a political comment about the subject doesn't automatically make it destined for the Soapbox. Since this entire industry is a regulated industry, some politics and legal discussions are naturally going to enter into...

    Multiple Number Cell Phones

    Google Voice is certainly one way. Multiple SIM card phones are rare here, but are common overseas, where each SIM card is its own number. You can also sign up with any phone company and have that number forwarded to your phone. With the iPhone there is also the popular Line2 - How It Works -...

    OK, the "understaffed, overworked and underpaid" thing is a figure of speech. It means they are good at what they do and they work hard for their money. I can't believe so many have never heard that phrase. The obverse of that phrase is "overstaffed, underworked and overpaid," which isn't much...

    You have been chosen to run this Spotlight Account..... That's the "Butter Me Up" screen. You just know the next screen is gonna be pure crap.

    The "Trayvon" Our Media Just WILL NOT Cover

    Read the investigator's quote again. He didn't say there was no evidence of that happening, he said it wasn't consistent to what they found. He didn't deny or refute the injuries themselves, but merely called into question how or when they occurred.
