we used to spray all of the floors with glue. but as they would inevitably lose their stickiness and we had to keep re-spraying we eventually decided it would be a whole lot easier to just put glue on the bottom of our shoes. so this is what we do now.
i'm personally trying to come up with some sort of velcro solution at the moment. it's not going as well as i'd hoped:(
No it's not, it's true. Apple's pricing has almost always been absurd, there are plenty of people willing to pay absurd prices for Apple products. Doesn't make it not absurd, just like Monster cables and plenty of other absurdly priced products.
Actually the fact that people are willing to pay that price does absolutely make it not absurd. prices are set by the laws of supply and demand, not by the cost of building something, or the price that competitors sell for. (although the latter can influence demand). that's just how it is with all designer products. some people really care a lot about labels and owning products/clothing from said labels fills them with joy and they are perfectly happy to pay a higher price for the same product without the label. These people aren't wrong, they just think differently.
Anyway... wow. I'm glad they didn't attempt this, just what i need is *even more* interference in the wifi band. And, of course, building a cellular-like network with the range a wifi cell could have would be pretty unworkable.
I would have been happy had they done this and failed. but that's just my hatred of Apple.
"Whoops i accidentally opened an office in Hamburg, registered a German TLD and started doing business overseas " yes i can see the mistake now.
Facebook can, and hopefully will, remove their sub-agency from your country.
yes we are in agreeance. they can stop doing business in Germany if they wish to not comply with German laws. we are also in agreeance that it would be a good thing if they did stop doing business in Germany.
It isn't relevant to the issue at hand, which is FB is an American operation, not a German one.
How is the fact that they do business in Germany not-relevant to the fact that they do not wish to comply with German laws???
Yes, complete censorship is impossible, however they are not trying to prevent German users from dealing with Facebook, they are trying to prevent Facebook from dealing with German users.
i highly doubt it will make the site more popular for German users. I can't see a lot of people jumping through hoops just to connect to a social networking site that all their other German aren't using because they also cannot be bothered.
For one Facebook is not just a US service. They have an office in Hamburg. They have www.facebook.de registered. this is a German owned TLD. They have 21,880,080 German Users
If i were to start selling greeting cards full of anthrax which i shipped to your country, would you just decide that people in your country should not use my greeting card service?
he's not trying to change his operating system into something it's not and wasn't designed to be. he's trying to find an application that does something he wants that will work on his OS.
there is absolutely no reason why such an application could not work in windows.
But they also continue to sell the iPhone 4, and even the 3Gs. Yes it is something of a differentiator but a new customer would likely end up with a 4s anyway, if for no other reason than the camera is much better.
yes true, but if siri was enabled on a 4, then less people who already have a 4 would upgrade to a 4s.
Now I have two choices. Maintaining an agnostic position or not believing at all.
I have no choice in the matter. i didn't choose to be agnostic, that's just how i am.
Admitting that there is a slight possibility of these things existing takes up a bit of mental resources for each item
no it takes up exactly 0 resources for me.
since I'm on the look out for "evidence"
so don't look.
justifying my possible belief to strangers who think I'm crazy
so don't. in fact you have expelled effort in this thread questioning how anyone could have beliefs different to yours.
having to take into account the fact that a fairy is under every flower etc
i don't know what you're on about here.
Since the number of things that could exist is immense, I actually spend a lot of time factoring in that minuscule percentage for no good reason - since they probably don't exist.
Disbelieving entirely on the other hand is a far more efficient strategy. I'm not going to lose out on much - it's a risk I'll take!
as per above, it takes 0 extra effort. i really don't know why you would think it takes more effort to be agnostic.
Let's plays are just people streaming a game. I can't for the life of me see why that's different from people just streaming movies or TV shows.
you really can't see the difference?
if i want to watch a movie but not pay for it, i could watch a stream instead. if i want to play a game but not pay for it i can't just watch a streamed let's play.
unless of course in your world watching someone else play a game is the same as actually playing it.
Go Dialler is like Sense haven't found a decent alarm variation where i can scroll through the time instead of up/down buttons yet. i use the clock in the notifications bar and don't really care about weather so i haven't bothered looking for alternative widgets for them. though i do agree the combined clock/weather widget from sense was great.

That's a mistake that can be easily rectified.

What laws did he break that the major US Media corporations didn't?
Also i wasn't aware that he was trying to do business in the US.
No, you're the one that has it backwards.
For one Facebook is not just a US service.
They have an office in Hamburg.
They have www.facebook.de registered. this is a German owned TLD.

I dunno, but i don't think paying a fine for breaking a law makes it okay to continue breaking that law forever.
Apparently they do. http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2519524&cid=38017546
can't tell you why 'cause i have about 0 knowledge in whats involved in running a global corporation.
Apparently.
http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2519524&cid=38017546
other comments mention servers and offices.
well obviously they do.
unless someone got really high and started throwing darts a map then opened up offices wherever the darts landed. then forgot all about it.
Yes, I'm going to riot in the streets because some company based in another country has decided to stop doing business with people in my country.
"what do we want", "Legal immunity for overseas corporations" "when do we want it" "NOW!"
try changing your voting system to one with preferences, then people wont see it as a wasted vote.
cool, that makes me feel better about being too lazy to stand up for anything. now i know that doing so would only make things worse.
26 inches is impressive.
jerry rodgers. i mean ooops, i said nothing....
no, it is absolutely nothing like that. at all.

i didn't realise following my manufacturers instructions was considered "breaking" my device.
yes unlocked bootloader is not root, however it allows you to use the required tools which there is no attempt to block.
calling pre-installed apps spyware doesn't make them so.
also a manufacturer not coming up with an update for latest OS is not the same as intentionally restricting what the user can do.
But they also continue to sell the iPhone 4, and even the 3Gs. Yes it is something of a differentiator but a new customer would likely end up with a 4s anyway, if for no other reason than the camera is much better.
yes true, but if siri was enabled on a 4, then less people who already have a 4 would upgrade to a 4s.
"He was been okay" ???
Actually that's exactly what it's a measure of.
There's just no good way to measure IQ.

They're required to accept cash, they're not required to give you change.
