    Multitouch? None, but that's splitting hairs. There have been all-touchscreen phones going back to PalmOS days and one of the early Android concepts was an all-touchscreen phone.

    How about a well-written rebuttal/criticism like eldavojohn did below this post?

    Because they've been tried and don't seem to work on him. You know how many times people have busted his "iPhone was TEH FIRST EVAR all-touchscreen phone and all Androids looked like Blackberries before that" post, yet he continued to post the same shit and will do so again given the opportunity?

  4. Re:And that is what really stiffles innovation on Leaked Zynga Memo Justifies Copycat Strategy · · Score: 1

    I've seen a library that contains books which contain *every single law* for a small country. That was quite a few years ago, but from what I remember the area containing these books was about 120x50ft, and had shelves going most of the way around the walls of the room (except for a roughly 30ft. wide entrance hall and a window on one of the 50ft. sides) and back-to-back shelving going down the middle of the room 15ft high jam-packed with books.

    It had a 2nd floor with bookshelves in the walls too that made it look really impressive but IIRC the actual law books were just in the downstairs area.

    You'd think so but he's just a rabid Apple fanboy. His real name's Matt Deatheridge, a supposedly grown man who spends this much of his time defending a company he is a fan of, and relentlessly bashing one of their competitors, Google.

    Well it's quite simple, if Monsanto releases dangerous chemicals over a town, the residents will boycott the Monsanto chemicals they were never buying, and when news of this boycott gets to the megacorps using these chemicals, they will stop using them and the shareholders will absorb the higher operating costs out of the goodness of their hearts, then Monsanto will go out of business.

    Why set your goals so low? You need to aim for the moon!

    I am now setting a goal to get in a foursome with Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman (hot grits optional), and get them to each bring me a supercar as a gift, before lunch. I figure I should be laid by a good looking woman and the owner of at least a high-end sports car before the night's out.

    Definitely true with commercial stuff but I wouldn't say it's true with FOSS. I mean look at the number of Gnome2 forks out now, and Firefox's interface is a total non-issue IMO, there is nothing to whine about. Non-default settings are just a few clicks away.

    So you'd prefer many human deaths, oceanic mass extinction and living in sealed dome environments to being more eco-friendly, and call anyone who thinks being more eco-friendly is a better solution a stupid alarmist.

    Maybe you should lock yourself in a room of pure CO2. After all, carbon is life itself, and I guarantee you no stupid alarmists will follow you in.

    Last time it was this warm we didn't have a massive modern civilization to support.

    If you're not worried about warming at all - say you live somewhere that will still have a secure food supply and won't be at any risk from harsher weather, and you have a FYGM attitude - maybe you should be worried about ocean acidification. Allowing runaway fossil carbon release because you don't personally mind the heat isn't even a viable option.
