I know what swype is. I've used it. I've used other similar ones as well.
A physical keyboard is always better. You get tactile and visual feedback, and you can watch your program's text area as you type. You're not staring at the keyboard the entire time getting only delayed visual feedback. You can add whatever auto-correct/suggest/complete shit you want to a physical keyboard. You can also have physical keys for shift, symbol input, copy and paste, etc.
Ever wonder why most magazines cost $5-9 at a newsstand, but you can often get a year's subscription to the same magazine for $2-4 per issue? Hint: they're not just making money off of the subscription. The types of magazines a person is interested in can tell marketers quite a bit about their interests, and there's good money to be made in consumer profiling.
No. It's because 12 * 3 > 4 * 5 . Someone who buys at a newsstand will, on average, NOT buy anywhere near the full year's worth of issues. They'll buy, on average, 3 or 4 issues over the entire year.
And when you buy from a newsstand, the newsstand makes a profit (shocking, I know!). And if you think that's a razor-thin profit, think again. At one point the Sunday Los Angeles Times cost me 37.5 cents a paper, while I turned around and sold it for the newsstand price of $1.50.
And by "me" I mean "me". That is to say, I've done this before and I know what I'm talking about.
People like you don't matter to the magazine publishers. Indeed, magazine publishers could do just fine without the newsstand vending because that's not where the bulk of their subscribers come from. The only thing newsstand vending does for them, really, is get new subscribers to sell ads for.
Indeed, the vast bulk of the money they make is from advertisers, not from the subscriptions. The subscriptions are gravy.
So yes, this is a very big deal for them to not get demographics. Without it, you'd see Newsweek, Time, etc., at 8 bucks/week to make up for the advertising loss.

You're an idiot. Low circulation = no one will buy ads in your rag. Circulation numbers and demographic data are the entire business model for magazines.
For me, SlideIT has completely replaced the hard keyboard on my milestone. Try it, you won't go back.
Then you are a terrible person. Physical keyboards are simply superior. Hell, even if you claim you're as fast with a software keyboard as with a hardware keyboard (lies), the mere fact that a hardware keyboard doesn't cover have the screen is reason enough to use it.
(I'm talking about slide-out keyboards. Hardware keyboards that cover half of the face of the phone do screw you over by requiring a physically smaller screen, but you get the added benefit of one-handed use, providing you have an opposable thumb.)
And network bit rates have always been measured in powers of ten, like disks, not 2, like memory. It's memory that's the odd one out, not disks or networks.
Wrong. Storage space is measured in powers of 2. Storage space is advertised in powers of 10. Memory is measured and advertised in powers of 2. Network speeds are measured and advertised in powers of 2. Signal processing rates for modems are measured in baud, powers of 10.
Everything dealing with bits is measured in powers of 2. Anyone who says differently is simply wrong. Bits are quantum. We count them. We care about permutations in a given storage space. We thus care about the bits^2 operation. SI units are not special. SI prefixes are not inherently unambiguous in any other field (is "m" milli? mega? meter? mass? mile? minute?). The unit "kilobyte" is KB, not K B. There is no use of the SI unit K. The unit is KB. Kilobyte. KB, both characters together, is the thing you need to look at. See a B or b? Talking about bits? It's fucking binary.
I interpolate that the second amendment is no longer relevant. You can buy steaks at the store. Predator species are no longer a threat to humans, and criminals can be taken care of by the police. Furthermore, you would not stand a chance against the modern military with semi-automatic firearms and no explosives. Thus, you have no reason and thus no right to own firearms.
This just means every citizen should be able to buy automatic weapons, tanks, battleships, and nukes in order to stand up against the government.
My kids will turn on the taps, wait, and then turn the taps off just to avoid washing their hands. I was asking why the towel wasn't damp and they started rinsing their hands. Pests.
And I used to just wet my toothbrush and not brush my teeth.
run your in house tools to verify that the code on the card is the same as your in house code you developed
And a properly hacked card outputs to the in-house tool the exact code it's supposed to, because the hack contains a bit of code to remove all the patches and return itself to pristine state, when a debug connection is detected
Any in-house tool worth running will do physical reads and tests, as well.
Do you like having support for the latest version of EAX? If so, you need a Creative card.
Do you like the bundled crapware that other cards throw at you? If so, buy one of those.
Do you need specific ports to hook up a MIDI device, or perhaps use S/PDIF optical out at the same time as whatever port they stick it behind on your motherboard? Try and hunt down the port expander bracket accessory shown on the back of your motherboard's box. Fail to find it, then buy a Turtlebeach card.
Otherwise, stick with plugging in your monitor's built-in speakers into the green port, no, the GREEN port, on the back of your computer.
As an Android and iOS developer your comments seem a bit misguided. As long as an Android device is properly responding to onPause() and onResume() there is ZERO reason an Android app should be eating resources in the background.
"Should" being the key word. I consider memory a resource. Applications running in the background on every Android device, ever, still gobble up memory like it's going out of style. Killing these fucking programs that launch themselves for no reason (Amazon MP3, the default text messaging and email programs that I've long-since replaced, etc.) frees up tons of memory and improves performance in other applications.
Okay, I get it, text shadow is the new 'thing' on the internet. But seriously, it makes your article harder to read. There is a time and a place people. And that time and place isn't everywhere all-the-time.
None of the links lead to anything that uses text-shadow. You may want to get your eyes checked.

Or fail to connect to the network, which makes those two the biggest no-nos when it comes to breaking a computer.
No.
The biggest no-nos are fire and data destruction (logical or physical).
We all know that Eastern (US) is the right timezone. Just set you clocks to that. If were talking about a different zone, then we'll mention it.
West coast best coast.
East coast least coast.

Unfortunately once urine is exposed to air, bacteria start to process that into something unpleasant.
Canned food is sterile too, but it will eventually rot if left opened.
Same goes for water.
What's your point?
Really? Desperation? Is that what it is? And is that why we don't see more BK ads in McD's? Or Macy's promos at Marshall's? **rolls eyes**
But the LA times and CNN will report on anything newsworthy going on over at the NY Post or on Fox News, and vice versa.
Whether or not the "Android Magazine", let alone any magazine, is an ad or a news source is in the eye of the beholder, not the almighty jobs.
Why does the Adobe Reader update install McAfee Security Scan automatically...
Because you didn't uncheck the checkbox on the download page.
disarming criminals on subways would probably cut down on other crimes, and make subways safer for women
Safer for women?
What about safer for men?
Statistically, men are over 3 times as likely as women to be victims of assault, be it regular or sexual.

I don't see a problem with using GPUs.
They do lots of parallel shit really fast.
It's no different than slapping on a math coprocessor, or adding a block of hardware to accelerate common encryption/decryption functions.
