    ALL combat is potentially mortal. A man avoids unnecessary violence whenever possible.

  2. Re:If I wanted a single OS, I'd go with Apple. on Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS? · · Score: 1

    I wanted to look up a pdf from my cellular enabled pocket computer and then transfer it to my Nexus 7 over ad-hoc wifi to view it on a larger screen while out in the field. There should be trivial, easy and well documented way to do this.

    Both are stock unrooted devices as I use them as my control group. I have other devices, but i use these two for day to day real world testing.

    Both parties are guilty of limiting features to satisfy IP interests, so dont think im letting google off the hook, but at least with the google product i can de-crapify it in a much more straightforward manner and acess the filesystem easily.. Jailbroken iphone is too much of a moving target to rely on customizing which is why i said ill be dumping my apple tech.

    I loved my Apple products, right up until i couldnt share something on my phone with to my Nexus 7. There is NO REASON i shouldnt be able to transfer files between these devices out in the field seamlessly and NATIVELY.

    400 trees is not anywhere close to 'destroying half the city' But you wouldnt know that considering the only trees in New York are in the park.(see i can make up stuff too!)

    The purpose of the shuttles was never to improve a single human life. Thats is a fools game and you are a fool for trying to play it. The ultimate goal of the Space Program is an insurance policy against an extinction level event. If we waited until all humans were clothed, fed and sheltered, we would have never gotten off the ground.

    It was built in California, jackass, and It landed at Edwards many times. Go yell at New York for theirs.

    Correction, you cannot circumvent the encryption on Blu-rays or DVDs. You are free to copy any unprotected DVD or Blu-ray you would like (under fair use rules) and never run afoul of the DMCA. You can also make bit-for-bit copies, leaving the DRM intact.

    THe problem with your comparison is that DVD is a wholly proprietary solution, and was developed as such from the very beginning. Also, DVD patents are limited to DVDs, not the entire video delivery industry.

    APPLE DID NOT GET ROUNDED CORNERS. FFS, you sound like an idiot when you repeat shit like that. It was OBVIOUS through word and action that Samsung was copying Apple outright.

    Makerbot went proprietary. If anything they will be implementing this crap instead of fighting against it.

    We chafe against national ID cards because we are supposed to be a Union of independent states. The whole idea of having many states is to enjoy variation in law.

    ITS WATER, its hard to abuse a resource when 2/3 of the earth are covered in it and 1/3 of the molecule that makes it up is the most common atom in the entire cosmos. The only thing that causes water shortages is ECONOMIC REASONS.

    Yes, of course why didnt i think of that. Instead of sending a few of the 7 billion fully programmable humans we have, lets build robot tech we dont have before we work on that insurance policy.

    SpaceX will not be pushing beyond anything NASA is doing. As of now they are a orbital delivery company, nothing more. I have mad respect for the SpaceX team, but lets keep it in perspective.

    What happens if Columbus punctured a lung on the way to America? He dies. Exploration is dangerous and we need to stop being pussies. We will send young men into the fray every single day, but we blanch at suicide Mars missions.

    If you totally ignore how things were done in Menlo Park then yes your convoluted logic is correct.

    Here is some quick and dirty info for you to chew on http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/10/steve-jobs-patents/?pid=3821&viewall=true

    "Regardless, his name is on more than 350 patents. The patents always list Jobs as part of a team." If anything, your posts prove that Edison was a much greater egotist then Jobs, and that is saying something.

    Not going to do your research for you. Tesla worked for Edison for a time, i never said he was on the lightbulb team. The point was that Edison had VERY smart people working for him, including a man who many people consider to be Edison's intellectual superior.
