Yeah, and that was one of the most interesting. Are they attempting to make us feel sorry for them? If that is news or propaganda, either way it is pathetic.
Yeah, like 5 year olds should have the right to decide their consumption of tobacco, liquor and drugs, engage in sex, as well as eat whatever they want, because, dangit, we don't want those who are responsible (parents or en loco parentis) to look after them--that would be an infringement of their obviously informed consent to live free and party.
You should be exposed to the full ridicule of users who are frustrated with the errors you've foisted upon them. Or do what I do, use testing as a way to avoid attending to writing coherent documentation.
Get size 14-16 work boots from second hand store and old issue of Guns & Ammo. Leave on front porch with a note on the door that says:
"Bubba,
Rufus, Jim Bob and I went to the store to get more beer and ammo. The pit bulls attacked the mail carrier this morning and things got out of hand. Not sure if Killer got involved, there was too much blood to tell. In any case all four of the pit bulls are in the house so you better wait outside till we get back."
This has been going on since Day One for DARPA. How do you think this Intertube was developed? Many of the innovations in computers and networks were initiated within DARPA projects. Read some history.
As I point out in a reply below, when Flash locks up my dual core Intel chip, I sometimes want the use of my computer after several minutes. The fault is mine in forcing a restart. A good OS should be tolerant of this, and there is a good recovery provided by OS X. It is just that Flash is the only thing that drives me to do this. I admit to using only several dozen applications, none of which cause this problem. I'm sure I could write one that did if I weren't so ignorant;^).
On my PCs, I find Flash happily consuming CPU cycles and memory long after the browser session has ended. That doesn't sound like a well-behaved application, but on the PC I enjoy running the task manager and killing rampant processes. Maybe Mac OS X needs to allow a few more CPU cycles to Activity Monitor. There is a way to force quit processes, but with a system locked up, I can't access that function before my patience has run out (several minutes).
So maybe Mac OS X isn't a great cop in allowing Flash to take over. So Steve is apparently right. Don't let it take over. A more subtle approach would be to lock down Flash with the OS, but then the app that is depending on Flash to do its thing would be hanging waiting for Flash.
What happens is that Flash simply draws all CPU resources and after 45 minutes or so, wanting to use my computer, I force a restart. This is deadly to most operating systems, especially if the OS itself is locked up. Yes, the OS shouldn't let Flash do that. And the police should protect me from criminals because lord knows it can't be the criminals' fault they do bad things. But they do. I'd just as soon not have criminals around. Or Flash.
I never asserted Mac was "superior", that is an inference from your sensitivity, perhaps. I stated that the only software that causes problems on my particular Mac is Flash. Oh, I was able to get a BSOD in Windows running on Parallels on the Mac. That assured me Windows was running as expected.
Flash is an incredible CPU hog on my little Mac, it only has 2 CPUs. And Flash is the ONLY THING THAT CAN CRASH MY MAC!!! I just spent an hour last night repairing my HD because of Flash crashing and leaving two craps disconnected from the rest of the file system.
If I never saw Flash again I'd be happy.
After watching the video, I can't help but think there was a massive miscalculation of the lift. And ignorance of real launch conditions, consisting of a mild breeze.
Facebook has a new feature to hide output from applications. You can still see friends posts, but don't see the output of Farmville, Mafia Wars, or other "noisy" applications.
You're right about a real reader and extended battery life. The ability to use the iPhone was a fortuitous accident, even though it does suck the power. I'm pleased with the flexibility of the iPhone in acquiring various (nearly any) formats, and will demand that of any eInk reader I purchase.

Richest astronaut to ever win the Superbowl
No, kiddo. Reducto ad absurdum argument. There is a difference.

Forget about Nevada, I'm going around it next time.
Single Point for Failure -- What could possibly go wrong?
Long way to go for dirt and rock.
It really means that the speed will never exceed the "up to" speed.

No computers or Internet when we grew up... we had to invent them.

Well, that should be a good way to screen for politicians, then.
Oh. Oh. And take away his gun.

huh. I gotta stop drinking this bottled water. I reside in Colorado but could get tied to activities "deep" in Southern California.
Sounds similar to a lot of corporate America: Using OS that locks up, poor password security, need to send laptops to corporate for assistance, ...
That's what I like about open source. Eventually things get found out.

If Fox News was worth it's salt, it would set up shop in Venezuela. First, though, they need to know that the leader is "HUGO" (not "CESAR") Chavez.
