Like most people. you simply say that because you are afraid and never try new stuff or you don't have the hardware/time to do it.
Wait a minute - what's this, an old-fashioned, classic troll? Haven't seen them in a long time, at least not directed at me. Well, although this one is doomed to failure, since I'm not biting, I must say I appreciate the oldschool approach to trolling that you have used.
Yes, I said it: nowadays, the CPU and GPU are too powerful, and game designers are hell-bent on 3D and other graphical gimmicks, instead of focusing on gameplay. That's why you'll find much more creative ideas among Android and iOS games. Yes, there's a ton of copy-cat games on the Androis marketplace, but there are a lot of interesting gems.
Most of the games I play nowadays are 5-10 years old, or they are Android games. It's why I also installed BlueStacks on my PC:
I'd like to see a source for that. More radiation than a properly functioning nuclear plant, maybe. But accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima: no way!
Plus: the radioactivity released by coal plants is mostly in the fly ash, which is filtered out in modern plants. So it's essentially comparing near zero amounts of radioactivity.
Much of the radiation from coal is released during mining/extraction. The remainder is released during burning. The problem is, you need many times more coal to produce the same amount of energy, than from uranium. We're talking 5 or 6 orders of magnitude larger masses of carbon compared to uranium. That's why, per kilowatt hour, coal fired plants + extraction of coal emit about twice as much radioactive material into the environment, than nuclear plants.
But the sad thing is, the radioactive material isn't even nearly the worst that coal fired plants release into the environment: the list of toxins that are released is staggering and frightening. One of the worst is mercury. There was a time when eating salmon was a no brainer (sorry for the pun), while today you are weighing the pros and cons, due to the accumulated methylmercury. In Finland, children under 1 year of age are not allowed to eat salmon at all, because of the brain damage that mercury causes.
1: AC is just retarded. 2: AC is a Microsoft troll 3: AC is a racist bitch who needed only the flimsiest excuse to slam Jews. 4: AC is a software salesman in Munich who lost a lot of money to LiMux 5: AC is simply so small minded that he doesn't understand what ten million Euros are worth
I am open to the possibility that he/she is all of the above.
Like another poster said, it's like the difference between relays and transistors - they both perform the same job (being a switch) but one is a much smarter use of material science and much more efficient.
Actually, relays are slower but more efficient than transistors, or triacs or tiristors or any other semiconductor switch. That's because the driven circuit sees no voltage drop - the relay closes a mechanical switch, there is no voltage drop and hence practically no power dissipation. Semiconductors, on the other hand, always have a certain voltage drop, small as it may be, and need to be cooled.
The problem for Apple is that Samsung's patents actually matter. If they get a reasonable jury (e.g. not in Apple's back yard with a highly biased foreman) there is a good chance that they should prevail. Apple used Samsung's tech without a license, then made the mistake to sue Samsung as a proxy for Google.
The problem for Apple is Samsung's corporate philosophy: they're all about competing in all technical aspects (Samsung produces many many things) and in all markets, and they have a take-no-prisoner approach. Samsung is like the old IBM in some ways, just with claws. Apple worked really hard to piss Samsung off, but now that they succeeded, the process is irreversible: Samsung has been pushed around a bit when Apple went nuclear on them with the litigations, but Samsung is learning the game.
I've seen their research factories (yeah, entire factories dedicated to R&D) in Seoul, and what impressed me the most was how proud and inspired the researchers were. I think I realized, right then, why Samsung is such a technological innovator - this was not a Chinese manufacturing giant, there was true cohesive spirit. Samsung also doesn't have one central person that makes all the decisions - it's more complex than that. Which also means, while Apple can change course on a dime (and they really need to, or needed to), Samsung is more like the supertanker with an enormous inertia, that'll just continue targeting Apple until either they or Apple is nothing.
Too bad you need the shit they export in huge quantities, eh?
Well played, but I'd like to point out that my family does not own a car - we go around mostly by bike or walking (I commute to work by bicycle every workday, even in winter). For the rare occasions that we need to go further than 20 Km, we use public transport. So, while we do use hydrocarbons indirectly (various polymers and other chemicals), we're trying to minimize it by not having a car and recycling plastics.
The mistake the Gnome developers made was calling the new desktop "Gnome 3". Had they presented it as an experimental new environment and named it "Project Harmony" or "Desktop Zen", or something like that, they would have stepped on less toes and met less resistance to the radical changes, and people would have seen it in better light.
The Gnome devs went out of their way to make it difficult to impossible to have Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 co-exist, due to the library naming/incompatibilities. The way they manoeuvred, users were forced to use Gnome 3. Calling it "Project Harmony" or anything else wouldn't have made any difference, because they basically nuked Gnome 2.
As the title suggests, I'd like to know if there is any way to run Android apps on ChromeOS. If yes, that would make Chrome OS the desktop Linux OS with the largest application base... even if most apps aren't designed for desktop use.
...but do you remember when they played up the discovery of bacteria that used arsenic instead of phosphorus in some of its proteins? Actually, the way they prepared the public, people thought it was alien life of some sort. Then it turned out to be this bacteria using arsenic..... which wouldn't be too shabby, until it turned out that the results were wrong.:(
China invading in spite of nukes. They could reason that no access to fresh water >= nukes. When there's something more deadly than nukes, the shit has hit the fan.
Russia I don't think so: they has a gigantic neighbor in the south-east. A powerful, and soon-to-be hungry and thirsty neighbor. If China determines that the only solution to its survival is Russian acquifiers, they'll go for it.
Canada and the US might, OTOH, find some kind of "mutually" acceptable solution.
We didn't need another OS. Windows 7 was still alive and well,
Hell, even WinXP is quite alive and well, at the moment. Companies aren't exactly falling over to upgrade their WinXP desktops with Win7. It works, don't fuck with it.
While Israel continues its policies, Palestine will continue to be a shithole of poverty with people who can't legitimately complain to anyone because they don't have a state and the UN doesn't recognize them. Israel reaps what it sows.
Actually, the West Bank is the most prosperous Arab territory outside the Arab peninsula, and by quite a wide margin.
I thought it was the TSA itself - but the iPad Mini is rather new, for the TSA to have stolen that many of them since launch, at least at a single airport.

The only idiot who has said Sharia law will elevate women above western standards is you.
I assume the GP's statement was sarcastic; in fact he/she was just repeating the official stance of Islam.
That's great, but what do you think the ashfelt and tarmac that you cycle on is made of?
I guess the meaning of the word "minimize" is lost on you.

I know that the Microsoft cafeterias don't quite measure up to Google's, but this is just ridiculous!

So, I'm not working up my hopes too high.
b) About all the instances the defenses failed to work?
Well, at least one instance of malfunction was openly divulged.
There are many other reports, just google for "iron dome malfunction three deaths"
Civ 5
Civilization V keeps you on Windows? That utter POS?

Not an oversight. They chose to give up on that 47%. They will never buy Apple stuff anyway.
Ask Romney how well that worked out for him ;)
Sadly no, I am not making this up :(
