We are, after all, talking about a man who would seek to completely eliminate the Department of Education and defund education spending at a federal level The favorite example of people who can't read the fine print. It's called being sensationalist.
People have shown that they have no ability to elect people who won't continue the country down the path bankruptcy or ridiculous war mongering. Hi ho, going to Canada before it's too late...this boat is likely going down in 4 years...
That is interesting as I haven't tried so much feature sniffing per say. But I do think that "getGeckoRv();" will be very useful in the future. It's much simpler to search for a specific version of gecko than to search for every specific version of every browser that employs that version gecko as a back end. Like epiphany, camino, netscape, mozilla, firefox, flock, kazehakase, galeon,kmelion, etc etc.
It's aggravating when I'm using Camino and I can't use a site even though it is compatible with Firefox. Then I have to use user agent spoofing.
Firefox isn't slow in its uptake because it is different from IE7; people use it bcos it is better. Linux trying to mock Windows would be a 10-year backward step, and doomed to failure.
I tried putting your trig function in my calculator but it didn't work. But I am betting that bcos() outputs a value very similar to cos and sin. This would mean you get values from 1 (true).5 (sorta true) 0 (not true) to -1 (you are an ass.)
Naturally there is no false return on jusbcos which is asymtotic for those inputs. Only true and "you are an ass" are viable answers to this function.
You jerk! I was just campaining the "facts" you posted on all of the 180 message boards I'm subscribed to. Do you realize how much time it will take to log into 180 different sites and hit the delete button!? Oh, what great pains my passions cause me. I'll have to cancel my special youtube video tapings now. At least I didn't quote you in my signature. Then I would really be ticked.
1) Requires iTunes.
2) Doesn't work with Linux. I dunno. Sounds fishie. Whenever I install gnome I get some manditory ipod libs so I do think it works with linux.
3) Is laden with DRM. And this is different than the wmp mp3 players how? (Even better yet, the Apple DRM is thought to be directly and indirectly the reason for the impending destruction of DRM.)
4) Doesn't support popular codecs like OGG. I wish for ogg support too. But of course, most mainstream players don't support it anyway. Besides, there are alternative iPod OSes out there that DO play ogg. You could be happy that is does support aac which is a standard that a lot of other players do not support.
5) ONLY supports iTunes Music Store and not other, cheaper services. That is all point of view. If you buy pop, it is definitely cheaper on iTunes. It's also had one of the least intrusive DRMs in the industry. With a bit more time, the DRMs should totally disappear. It's not like you can't buy form allofmp3 or amazon either.
6) Doesn't allow simple drag-and-drop access to copy music. I don't like manually sorting my music, so I won't comment. But I do believe you can drag songs from the itunes window to drives and such on your desktop. I believe that is drag-and-drop.
7) Software is locked down on the device. Anywho, you can manually drag the songs from itunes to the device anyway. I thought you like drag-and-drop to copy your music?
8) Non-removable storage. This is the norm in mp3 players?
9) Non-removable battery. The ipod is also one of the lightest, smallest, as the longest battery life of most players on the market. There are external batteries you can plug into it by 3rd parties if you really need it.
10) Costs $500, much more than cheaper, more open-devices do.
This is probably one of those arguments where you ignore few vital characteristics to play the argument into your hands. In this case your might be comparing a phone to a mp3 player, or a touch screen device to a non-touch screen device or a flash memory device to a HD based device...etc etc.
There are reasons to dislike ipods, but hose were _weak_. Please try again.
You obviously haven't read some of the horror stories coming out of Microsoft. When a company gets too large, bureaucracy gets in the way of innovation. Even worse, the groups can compartmentalize and stop talking to each other which has happened at Microsoft to various degrees. That is why Apple has been catching up to and passing Microsoft as of late in many areas. It's smaller (relatively) and more agile. The strong leadership helps too.
You proved my point argument in your response:
- One worker climbs up the ladder.
- One worker unscrews the old bulb.
- One worker puts away the old bulb.
- One worker picks up the new bulb.
- One worker screws in the new bulb.
- One worker climbs down the ladder.
That is a job that is more easily and quickly finished by one person at most two. But there are so many people around that you have to make them do something no matter how idiotic it is.
What the fsck has giving a straight answer have to do with commitment to free market and limited government? Do they (Ron Paul campaign) have such a short attention span, or do they expect that their voters have? I felt like someone spat on me, when I read those answers. But wait until you see the SNL sketch! Hilarious!
Exactly, he should have said, "I will use thine powers to free you." Can you give me an example of a good answer that DOESN'T break his platform?
Using my obvious filter, what I gathered from the answer is, "It isn't the federal goverments business to choose whether it is legal or not, as per my platform of reducing federal government since the beginning. Thus, it is out of my hands as far as "What are you going to do to protect me from being arrested". That is a up to the state to determine. There are states that are already working to legalize mj where you should participate, thereby fulfilling your duties as an American."
Now with a summarize filter: "MJ won't be illegal at the federal level, but the rest is up to you, Jonny."
but there are thousands of paid MS employees too, working 40 h a week with the full of a big organization
I'm pretty sure there are some payed programmers for OpenOffice as there are for Firefox and other large open source projects. But they also have the advantage of millions of eyesballs on the code.
Ironically, Microsoft becoming too large is blamed for the delays and quality problems in their software. It's the "getting 5 people to change a lightbulb" argument.
One thing that was really amazing about the 2000 election was how many poeple voted for charisma over qualifications. It explains why we are where we are now. Reading about Bush's past is downright disgusting.
It's nicer than USB2 because it's faster and uses a crap less CPU. But Microsofts implimentation is blastimous to a very well constricted out but badly marketed technology.
The worst part is that the die-hards in the Green Party actually do believe this. "There's no difference between Democrats and Republicans". Yeah, well, stop drinking the kool-aid long enough to realize that if Al Gore had won in 2000 we wouldn't fucking be in Iraq right now. Actually I think most of the American population was thinking that, not just the Green Party. I mean the votes were practically 50-50. There was a reason. I personally like to think we wouldn't be fighting in Iraq if Al Gore had been elected, but that in the end is just conjecture. We do not know.
Is Taco trying to completely set/. into a total flamewar? Two political topics, MS vs Google, and now a Linux vs Microsoft article? Well yeah. Having you seen the slashdot brand warpaint adverts at the top of the page?
The irony about the parent-parent poster complaining about Ron Paul's advertising is that a lot of people still don't have a clue who on earth he is. I know my family for the most part still doesn't. At this point, if his supporters aren't advertising him, who will? It's the chicken or the egg argument and the clock it still ticking.
Oh! Oh! Oh! This in the gnome complaints thread isn't it!? Hey Gnome, why don't you do something about the foot? It stinks! No, I mean literally dammit!
I hope you're right. I do not look forward to the day that men regularly have sex change operations just to fit in with the populous because the genetically altered babies come out 100% women...scary thought.

The closer to perfect something is, the easier to mess it up when you try to improve it. No wait...

How to properly sniff for a version of Gecko
How to feature sniff instead of browser sniff
Now what would be ironic is if Major OEMS charge more upgrading to XP than downgrading to Vista.

Yes, that is true. But VOIP does offer some consolation.
I kinda feel bad now because I realized how much effort you put into your joke.
My bad. I was an ass there. :)

I like to think what I am saying makes sense.
I believe that happens on Mac OS X too...with Firefox was it? I can't remember it has been a while. So I don't even know if it is still true.
