I have over 1000 shortcuts currently on my Windows 7 machine, where are they supposed to fit in Metro. I'd need to scroll for a week to find what I'm looking for. "Oh, but you can just type the name of what you are looking for. " but I don't remember the name just what the icon looks like.
I hate Metro. And I mean hate. I haven't even used it and I hate it. Pure, prejudiced, hate. But are you retarded? You can't remember the name of something but you can recognize thousands of icons designed for 16x16 display?
Did you see Bush WITH his teleprompter, let alone without?
Bush Jr. with a teleprompter or speech to follow was a joke. Bush Jr. just talking about things was perfectly coherent and reasonable.
Bush Jr. is not a moron, he is just a terrible public speaker. Whether or not you agree with his opinions or his administration's actions is a completely separate matter.
The goal wasn't to make the prequels not suck. He's learning about editing film, and used the prequels as a medium to do so (and probably make a great test case to show both the potential and limitations of post-production editing).
Calculus and science are great, but I don't think everyone should do that and nobody should do art. Once you accept that the entire concept of movies aren't pointless, then learning about editing is a useful skill.
Please. He watched some film student sit at a Mac cutting shit together in Final Cut Pro.
Police officers are generally polite, respectful, and concerned for your safety. Police departments are generally corrupt, bureaucratic, and don't give a shit about your safety.
For every asshole, rights-stomping cop there are several good ones. Unfortunately, they're powerless to do their sworn duty and protect you from the asshole cops and the department as a whole.
Most of the "you are not allowed to rent some software" licenses are invalid in many countries. So if they are hosting outside of US, it may be just okay.
It may be okay if and only if the OnLive guys don't want to operate or live in the US, Canada, Britain, or pretty much anywhere that isn't the 3rd world.
I would want artificial intelligence, direct neural interface, 2 months vacation in a tropical paradise, 2 months vacation in a winter paradise, and unlimited blow jobs (or tongue jobs, can't leave the female users out)
In some northern European countries all these are guaranteed human rights. Anything less is for uncivilized countries.
Unfortunately, in Northern European countries the fellatio and cunnilingus is performed by Northern Europeans.
Exactly. Try getting a straight answer from either MS or one of their reseller's (i.e. Ingram Micro) SPLA licensing "experts" and it quickly becomes a game of "Stump the Chump". Convoluted doesn't even come close to describing it.
MS isn't alone in this. I dare anyone to explain the VMWare licenses, what the actual products are and do, or even what they're all called and where to download them.
Google has absolutely zero customer service. You can post on forums, but your post will probably be ignored. Certainly you cannot get help when you need it.
No matter serious the problem, you cannot contact Google.
Even posting on the forums is confusing as all hell. "This forums has been moved to Google groups." or "That forum has been moved to support.google.com/" or god-only-knows what.
Bullshit. Google absolutely provides customer service. It is prompt, thorough, and painless.
The problem is, of course, that you are not a customer, you are a product. The list of customers include government agencies and corporations who want to spy on you, prevent you from searching for things, and prevent you from saying things.
The customer service is so good that the customers actually have direct access to do whatever the fuck they want for most things. Government doesn't like your website? Goon logs in and flags that shit for instant deindexing, then clicks to get a complete report of all information Google has on the domain and the owner. Media corporation doesn't like your video because it contains 1 second of something they think they own? There's a button right on the video player to remove the video. Not the pointless flag regular users see, this button actually does something.
When you're a Google customer, you don't even need to deal with customer service. You just go in and do it yourself. Hell, they'll even have a robot search the entire internet for you and delete shit willy nilly if you just submit a sample of what you think you own.
Except different countries within the "GSM market" still get different hardware variations, so in terms of guaranteeing shit will run on a given device, you still have to account for country AND network.
I think we are talking at cross purposes here. I mean to say, that once you have some very specific model of GSM phone working, you can take it to any other GSM network in any other country and it will still work.
But when you're developing a ROM for someone to load onto their phone, you have to target the phones they have, or the phones they could go out and buy at the local store, not the phones they could get in some other country and run locally.
Those phones have differences that the ROM has to account for, despite them working on any GSM network. Everything from actual hardware (hard) to default language to brand/model/sku naming (confusing for someone trying to find out what ROM to grab).
What you describe isn't a competitive game but a social one -- collecting meaningless bits of fluff that look neat but serve no purpose.
Pay to win implies that forking over money gives you an advantage over players who haven't. Hats confer no such advantage. You just mad.. for some reason I can't even begin to understand.
When the game is about collecting pointless shit, then paying to get that pointless shit instantly is paying to win. The game has been about collecting pointless shit for about 2 years now. No one actually plays the game.
If a game is pay to win, it'll eventually lose it's customer base. You may have noticed that TF2 is explicitly trying not to be pay-to-win. I'm not a user, so I don't know, but at least they are trying. And eventually a functioning model where game designers are encouraged to improve the game while gamers can't just "pay to win" will develop.
TF2 is absolutely pay to win. The goal of the game is to collect all the hats and useless crap.
I hop on TF2 every once in a while only to find that no one is actually playing TF2. Control points? Intelligence briefcase? The cart? Nope. No one gives a shit about those things. They only care about farming shit and running around like retards.
I would think that an arm capable of throwing a grenade of some sort would be the same arm that is capable of manipulating a standard fire hose. Single tool multiple use.
Kind of like how you can stick your dick in a pussy, mouth, or ass. Single tool multiple use.
Er, the USA is the single biggest national market, but the entire rest of the world is the market for GSM phones. The EU alone is slightly bigger. Even the USA has a significant amount of GSM. So, I would contend that GSM is the most important market by far.
Except different countries within the "GSM market" still get different hardware variations, so in terms of guaranteeing shit will run on a given device, you still have to account for country AND network.
The fact that they DO those things doesn't mean they have the RIGHT to do those things. Such behavior is completely illegal.
All it would take is 1 high profile lawsuit and 1 judge saying "What the FUCK do you think you're doing?" for schools across the nation to do an about face on the matter.
Making a full featured open source build would require Broadcom, TI, Samsumg, and Qualcomm, etc. to release their specs or drivers for video co-processors.
This will not happen.
Why would it matter? It's not like there's a free, open MPEG 4 decoder (hardware or software) that doesn't infringe on patents. There are a ton of free and open codecs, but they're all infringing. If anyone tried to ship a (physical) device with that implementation, they'd be sued by everyone under the sun. Even if you believe a particular implementation is not infringing, there's exactly zero chance of the little guy winning in court.
Replicant is a software project. You can download a build (or baked ROM) and throw it on your device. You have to play the revision / sku / country / network lottery. Replicant Build 1.0 works on Phone Brand X, Model Y, SKU ending in ZZZ, with a manufacture date of W or later, in country V, on network U, with features T working. It won't ever receive the attention from lawyers that a physical device would. But due to the work involved in maintaining it and running it, it won't ever receive the attention from regular people that a physical device would, either.
The people who care about an open Android and are willing to jump through hoops to run Replicant won't give a shit about hardware video decoding or the DSP behind the camera not doing it's shit right. They care about not being locked down and not being tracked.
The moral of the story is that anonymous should stay anonymous, even amongst themselves. There is no reason why they can't and no reason why they should assume each of their peers are trustworthy.
You can convert a 128Kbps MP3 into a FLAC file. It doesn't magically restore the information that was removed when you converted the WAV file on the CD into a 128Kbps MP3. Converting to FLAC is a lossless operation, but just because something has a FLAC extension does not mean it was created from a lossless source.
Remember kids: It's only lossless if you use the same sample rate! (Or for video, frame rate and color space.) So many GUI front ends default to 441000 Hz sample rate regardless of the input. Maddening.

You can't edit out bad acting Topher.
The season of That 70s Show without Eric says otherwise.
Of course, that didn't edit IN anything worthwhile, either.

- non-lethal crowd control: tear gas grenade
- parties (or impromptu parades): confetti grenade
- stock market crashes/rises: ticker-tape grenade

Peaks = penises.
Valleys = vulvas.
Breasts and asses are mounds, and can only be done justice when modeled with nurbs, not triangles.
In most of the world sure.

I prefer valleys.
