They're working on it.

I "got" a Compaq TC1000 about 7 years ago. Way more usable and useful than an iPad. But I sold it.

I still have my 3a.

My botnet disagrees with you.

The question is not whether Google can deliver but whether they'll be fashionably late enough while doing so.

Like so many things, Webkit isn't an Apple innovation!

Reference example.

Steve Jobs and company have gone out so far on a limb, we don't quite know what to do with this thing.

How about more than what we did with the same idea 7 years ago?

Among others, the HP TC1100 came 7 years earlier and even then had better specs..

Sit back while the Jobsian Reality Distortion effect ripples through the cultural imagination of the Western world, convincing everyone that the iPhone's new controller is yet another game-changer.

Seems like it got under your skin a little, given the superfluous use of punctuation

No, I'm not a Christian, see my other phrase. It doesn't matter if you think Christianity is a religion of cannibal vampires (eat his flesh and drink his blood) because that's what I think as well.

Nothing I have said here has been remotely prejudiced toward anyone.

You brought up the word. And as I said, I may be biased against muslims but that's based on what I SAW and on THEIR ACTIONS, hence, not a prejudice (the word meaning 'pre-judgement')

It seems that's muslims that can't take criticism. Also, Islam hasn't changed as deeply as even Catholicism with time.

This one is really funny. How about - "Oh, and by the way, that's Al-Qaeda, not 'generic muslims' doing crap."

Most 'people from other religions' don't turn violent against random people because of religion.

Most acts of violence against other religions have been institutional events (holocaust, the cruzades, etc)

And it is not AQ torching cars in France, it is not AQ threating to kill cartoonists (or not just them), etc

It's not AQ that goes against Secular States, freedom of speech, woman and gay rights (granted, the GOP doesn't as well, but it's inside a democracy)

Don't you see your double standard? Again, I have no agenda here for or against Islam, for or against Christianity,

I have seen, and talked, and friended some (moderate) muslims, and I don't have anything against them.

I understand that there are countries with a huge population of moderate Islamists.

But Islam is a very 'either you're with us or against us' religion. Can't drink alcohol! Can't eat pork! Pray 3 times a day! And if you fail at this you're toast in the fire of doom. (I know about the several provision in the Kuran, to repay your faults, etc)

Can a woman walk in Iran without a head scarve?! That's like forcing a Muslim to drink alcohol. And prohibiting burkas in some countries is bad, not even close to that!

Compare this with most other religions. As an example, no one has the right to tell if a person is going to heaven or hell in catholicism.

And what they don't get (and you don't get as well) is atheism. And I'll leave at that.

-O:)

I have a fledgling theory that this is largely the result of women in the workplace (and school is a workplace). Women are more concerned with feelings. Their own, and others. I'm not saying this by itself is necessarily bad, by itself, but when feelings take a back seat to actually getting things done, you end up precisely where we are. People feel better, but are less useful.

here's a perfect example.

It's completely irrational to broadcast that everyone reading a site is a strong, confidant woman.

Those things are feelings, not quantifiable qualities, or concrete measures of worth, just feelings.

Besides, when a woman says, "strong, confidant woman", the second poster in this picture is who comes to mind.

Absolutely strong and confidant.

Actually it may be possible according to a hypothesis.

Some postulate that there is a finite size at which point we can get no smaller. If this is the case, and those tiny spaces are arranged in a 3d grid, we can define a meter by a number of those and create the exact cm. A perfect circle would not be possible if space is a 3d grid however.

Of course we'll never know if there's anything smaller than what we can measure (because we can't measure it!), so we'll never truly know if space is divided into tiny finite amounts.

Personally, I believe the universe is just the interplay of mathematical formulas within God's mind. Just like characters we dream in our own minds or like Sims in a video game, we are bound by the environment, can interact with it, and have no way of perceiving anything else; our own individual group of patterns interacting with the rest of the pattern.

In that case, there is no reality beyond mathematical patterns, and those can be infinitely large or small. A circumference can have an infinite pattern behind it. And while there would be 1cm lengths that are infinitely similar to each other, we could never measure them to be sure, without taking infinite time to do so.

Oh, there can be my friend....there can be.
