Obviously, if you are so discontented with the situation, there must be others like you. And, I presume you do have some bucks to spend. Therefore, let the invisible hand to its job and inspire people to fill the niche. Stop overreacting--nature has a way of balancing everything out (even if it requires hurricanes and the like).
entity - something that has a distinct, separate existence, though it need not be a material existence.
GP was correct in his use of the term. You may have preferred the more precise and domain-specific 'commodity' but it really wasn't absolutely required. Just out of curiosity, what did *you* think 'entity' meant?
Yea, I'm in the same boat (both in terms of earnings and text msg usage). In this culture, you cannot help but send 5 or 10 of these things a month (unless you call the carrier and have them disable the service completely--which was my prior policy). So, yea, a few bucks isn't going to break me, but it's just the principle of it all!:-)
Well, I think ultimately, people will tire of paying for cheap goods from China (as they do not pay off in the long run). Not everyone here in the US shops at Wal-Mart, you know.
So, over time, the quality of good produced over seas will have to rise and with it wages for the producers of said goods. At the same time, US citizens are still free to continue to produce premium goods. Eventually, one would expect the invisible hand to create equilibrium which cannot be exploited as with the current situation. When the playing field is level again, then Americans will do what Americans have always done--innovate.
Well yea, in that case, by all means. But, I, like many other people in this thread, cannot stand paying 20c for something that cost nothing to produce. A nice short understandable email address + smartphone does wonders for that (if only everyone else would switch to email and be done with this SMS nonsense). Heck, even MMS is better (i.e., cheaper).
People in the US just simply need to become good at other things. Adapt or wither. There are a lot of other business opportunities besides manufacturing. Is it so bad that the American spirit is being tested? If this people is truly innovative, then they will find ways to survive.
Why do we keep hearing this micropayment idea? If you are going to go modifying protocols, then the protocol can handle it without micropayments. There's no need to give corporations or the government any more reason to tax us.
That's really neat until the spammers adapt. What would be really nice is to dynamically generate unique versions of the link and to have its destination also vary over time.
*That* would be almost undetectable by the spammers.
On a side note, I'm actually quite surprised that AT&T allowed receiving emails on iPhone to be so easy since it surely must cut into their SMS revenue.
I think you're mixing two conventions together. Data type typedefs such as:
typedef long long* PLONGLONG;// (i.e., ptr to a long long)
are all caps (due to an entirely separate rule). The only part of this that is 'hungarian' is the 'P'.
But, hungarian variable names do conventionally follow camelCase (with the hungarian part being the first word).
So, an instance of prof of cs von Neumann (which should be a class and not a long long) would, according to your choice of abbreviation, look like (assuming an MFC-named type):
CProfessorCs pcsVonNeumann;
And, btw, even if you did want to use an integer represent von Neumann, that'd hardly require using a 64-bit integer [even on a 64-bit system] unless you expect more than 2^32 (i.e., ~4.3 billion) possible values (which in this context would [I presume] mean unique professors of CS).
And, what were the proportions in 1947? As far as I know, the Jews who migrated there between 1880s and 1947 rightfully purchased the land they possessed. Then, the United Nations essentially made official what was already unofficial--i.e., the establishment of the State of Israel.
Actually, seems like 2 would be more profitable than 3 for monopolies. If people cannot afford the set price per 3, they simply will not buy. So, therefore, by reducing the price to what people can pay, the monopoly makes additional sales it wouldn't have otherwise.
Well, it does cost something to put up those towers with all the electronics on them. You could look at text pricing as part of the plan to recover those expenses and turn some profit.
I didn't see that number anywhere on the page you referenced, but I did see two interesting sections which confirm exactly what I've said in this thread. They are:
Travelers' impressions of 19th century Palestine
The question of late Arab immigration to Palestine
Well, I would understand 'modern age' to include possession of the will and the technology necessary to prevent the British from occupying to begin with. If India was as modern as you claim, why wasn't it (with its massively larger population) able to fend off the British? Was it not poverty, religious beliefs (idol worship), and lack of technology preventing such?
Maybe so, but just as Britain has benefitted from the U.S. taking its place, we can hope to benefit from China taking ours! [Maybe that's wishful thinking, but it seems possible at least].

Eclipse vs. VS is not really relevant. Platform choice determines IDE, not the other way around.

I did read them whole. They say exactly what I thought they did (and what their titles would imply). And, why the attitude?
And I want a pony!

Maybe he's assuming that the general population would get this one right and we uninformed nerds would not? :-)

Maybe a smartphone (or netbook) is called for?

Suicide bombing doesn't seem logical either, but that doesn't keep it from occurring.
That's the single most insightful comment I've read in this thread. Thanks for that!

Why not use email?

Except that Microsoft has implemented this one. It's called FlexGO
And, it actually makes sense for the intended audience--developing nations.
Actually, in Hungarian notation, wouldn't it be:
