Apparently I didn't write that clear enough: I meant that you don't sign any contract before you start working on an app. As in, there is no guarantee anyone will buy it no matter how much work you put in it. It's the same with physical products, you don't get money for your work, you get money for the results.
I come across this when calculating how much fuel to put in an aeroplane - the bowser dispenses litres, I need to know what that is in pounds for the weight and balance calculation, and the fuel burn (and thus how much fuel I need) is specified in the POH in gallons per hour...... but these are indeed American gallons, not Imperial ones, and getting that sort of thing wrong can kill people.
You're not the only one, Air Canada had some problems with this as well.
They're more expensive than average 16:9 monitors, but as far as I found they're usually better. And they're not that hard to find.
What is hard to find are laptops. Apart from some Macbooks, there are exactly zero new 16:10 laptops available. With all the Apple-copying that is going on, can't some company copy the screen ratio?
I don't know, I have a U2412M and I'm very happy about it. Note that I mostly use it for reading and writing, but I never noticed any problem even while playing the occasional game or watching a movie.
I thought that LCD screens don't count the bezel as part of the screen size. CRT monitors did, because the actual tube stretched beyond the display portion.
If it were their business model, their products would actually be available, but in reality they are not. Nexus 4's and 10's are impossible to come by anywhere. Nexus 7's cost 280 euro here. Music and movies on Google Play are not avaible except in USA and some parts of Europe, not even all of EU is covered. Developers from Slovenia (such as myself) cannot publish paid apps on the Play Store.
Not really. The current known elementary particles are all neatly arranged into the Standard Model. The one gap (Higgs boson) was recently filled. What we now need is to discover some process which shows the SM to be incomplete.
The (true) geek defines himself this way to others, because this is what other people understand. Everybody knows of Star Trek. On the other hand, if I started talking about why I prefer Python over Javascript most people wouldn't have a clue.
True, but the perception filter was first mentioned after DNA died.
The Tardis wiki page has some interesting things to say about this, including that Life, the Universe and Everything was at first supposed to be a Doctor Who serial. The plot becomes wibbly-wobbly.

Good point.

Usually, you sign a contract and agree on a payment before you start the job. You made no such agreement before starting an app.
If creating a sculpture took the same amount of time and effort as painting a painting, they would.
Yes, they did. See the wiki page.
If used as space heaters, that is.
An attack was found in the filesystem? What's that supposed to mean?
I'm not sure, but it sure sounds like Mr. Reiser had something to do with it.

The problem is not that Facebook doesn't care. The problem is that users don't care. You can't fix that.

No, it really is a philosophy.

This is true, I don't know why it was modded down. The second reason is that one euro is worth much more than one unit of any pre-euro currency.
You would think people got over this (even we got euros more than 5 years ago), but many don't. I suppose one needs something to blame.
the smallest euro bill is 5€, the smallest bill here is worth ~10usd
Unless you try to buy electronics with it, then it's only worth like 3usd.

That's because you are expecting a city, where in reality there is just a field where they grow Jessicas.
The truth should be obvious to any Doctor Who fan. The "it's only ocean" that the scientists saw was obviously a perception filter.
Any Doctor Who fan should have read h2g2, where the perception filter is much more funnily known as "Somebody Else's Problem" field.

Surely you jest. But if you ever had to fix a computer for an average person, you know this is true.
You get more nutrition from a kilogram of meat than from a kilogram of vegetables. Instead of price per kg, compare price per calorie.
