The quote is from you, so the stupid is yours. You asked why a non web browser would be connecting to an HTTP or HTTPS port, I told you. I guess you must have felt pretty stupid at how obvious the answer was, considering that it's commonly used for such incredibly obscure services like Amazon's S3.
Now shoo! If you're grumpy and need your diaper changed, go ask your mommy. It's not my job.
Translation, you either didn't know what REST was or you didn't think of it. The above was all you could type while trying to pry your foot out of your mouth.
So, did you look it up or choose to remain willfully ignorant?
Let's see, there is a law against robbing the liquor store so Nutzy McFruitcake burns it down to make sure he doesn't rob it. Shall we make armed robbery legal to avoid future misunderstandings?
Next time, perhaps their CEO should just go on the 6 o'clock news and read a statement while he stabs himself in the eye with a fork. That's pretty conspicuous.
But, in the spirit of not having laws mis-interpreted by sociopathic idiots, all laws against kicking SuperKendal in the nuts are hereby repealed. Sorry, it's the only way to avoid mis-understandings.
If that had ever been the standard for boards, there might be a point in that suit, but it never has been.
OTOH, pixels have always meant full color pixels (that is, including red, green, and blue in EACH pixel) for a color display dating back to before CGA.
It is a FACT that there are less regions on the screen that can render blue. Less blue spots means less blue resolution. That's not so hard to figure out.
I don't have cause to sue personally. I don't own an iPhone.
And if you held a magnifying glass up to the old CRT monitors, you would indeed see an array of pixels, each with a red, a green, and a blue subpixel. On even older TVs, you would see an array of pixels consisting of red, green, and blue dots laid out in a triangular pattern.
So you're saying the industry standard is putting your thumb on the scale?
No, they need to be accurate and point out that a few liars out there are counting pixels under the bezel.
As for the pixel arrangement, it may be a good arrangement, and it may work well, but it is not the same as having full RGB pixels. There are things that it will render at a lesser resolution (anything with blue in it). The eye may or may not be able to see the difference, but it is there and the standard for resolution is an absolute objective value, not subjective or wishy-washy.
Next up, no it's not OK to emulsify 2% water into gasoline.
The last drone panic with startling pictures of the damage turned out to be a goose. Of course, "oops, it was a goose" didn't make the big headlines. That was strictly back page news.
Of course, our only source is Bloomberg, so it might have been a secret Chinese spy goose.
On the other hand, plenty of 38 hr/week "part-time" employees have gotten the old you're not fired, you just didn't get any hours this week and we don't think you'll get any next week either treatment.
In the spirit of accuracy, I do not mean to imply that the temps are actually from a race of elves or that the first class employees are actually able to perform magic. Also, Google is not, in fact a school where children learn to perform acts of magic. It is not run by a wizard who posesses the most powerful and potentially dangerous wand known who is thought to be hundreds of years old.
None of those implications seemed to bother you, but "just to be accurate" I thought I'd mention them.
Sounds a lot like poor excuses to me. They acknowledge that the value to them is actually negative (they have to pay to dispose of them), which their insurance apparently agrees with.
Stupid paranoia or much worse. I can't speak directly about Canada, but no such suit ever happened in lawsuit happy United States. Many places here nevertheless spouted similar excuses all the time, so a federal law was passed in '96 explicitly barring such lawsuits. In spite of that, some places actually padlock their dumpsters and consider failing to make sure leftover food goes in the dumpster to be grounds for termination.
Of course some claim they fear employees might deliberately prepare too much food, but most such places have explicit rules for when to prepare more food and how much, so they could easily enough control that anyway.
So I'm going to go with greed and spite as an explanation.

Why are your not web apps using HTTP and HTTPS ports?
So I take it then you have chosen to remain ignorant.
You might need this for your foot.

Apparently, you've never heard of REST. Do look it up, and be enlightened.
I said nothing about law, only the understanding of the entire damned industry for over 30 years and consumers for 20.
It sounds like you want to rewrite history so the precious won't be wrong.
The Spectrum was never advertised as having full color capability, nor was full color a consumer expectation at that time.

So all of the. other phone makers doing this same thing with screens are "guilty" as well?
Yes, as a mater of fact, they are.
Don't forget, when the thing you're rendering is blue, it will render at substantially lower resolution.
So you're saying the industry standard is putting your thumb on the scale?

Of course, in 2006 "devices" weren't really up to the task for the most part, so I doubt adding in all 3 to those figures would make much difference.
Have a look at this.
No need for a drone, a bag of cracked corn and an air horn would do the job for less money and it would be harder to trace.

I'll bet they would have zero difficulty getting any number of charities to take them and unpackage them.
But they are obviously a distinctly lower class of (OMG no not really in a legally binding sense) employee.
Equally, there seems to be a great fear that were you to accidentally give one of them a pair of Google socks, their status would become elevated.
My little throw away joke seems to have you decidedly defensive...
