Microsoft turns to technology licensing for Xbox Next

[The little lost angel]

I am native English but consider:

What good is half a mile from my house if I have to jump through hoops
for that half mile to get there (multiple traffic lights, construction
on the roads, etc.)?

Yup, it's neither easy or convenient to get there.

The local Wal-Mart is indeed about a mile from my house. That makes
it very convenient.

That *made* it convenient and easy.

Unfortunately right now the city has torn up the
road and is doing major work on it. So much for ease of getting
there.

This *makes* inconvenient and not easy. After they're done with the
road, it *will* be convenient and easy again, no?


After all, how can we say something is convenient when it's not
convenient or easy to get/use/do it???

Kinda like saying somebody learns things very quickly but takes a long
time to be taught things...

If you need basic to med complexity webpages at affordable rates, email me
Standard HTML, SHTML, MySQL + PHP or ASP, Javascript.
If you really want, FrontPage & DreamWeaver too.
But keep in mind you pay extra bandwidth for their bloated code
