As a web developer, IE is still a piece of shit. The development tools for that browser are a fucking joke. They have received almost zero improvement in five years. It's simply inexcusable.
If it weren't for the fact that IE is still pretty popular, we would drop support for it for just being too much of a pain in the ass to support.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about his notion of the government "forcefully" taking money from you vs. society where's it's voluntary. As if the government isn't an act of society.
Jesus dude, you don't fucking pay attention do you? Cook WAS NOT THE FUCKING CEO WHEN THE SUIT STARTED. Jobs wanted the suits, Cook is on record for being against them. But please continue living in your fandroid dreamland.
You're a fucking retard. A typical libertarian asshole who lives in some kind of capitalist fantasy land that doesn't fucking exist and NEVER EVER WILL. You don't understand shit about economics but like all of your brethren, you think you do. Even when presented with plenty of evidence to the contrary, you hold to your positions because you can't handle reworking your completely fucked up world view.
The world would be a better place if you all suddenly died of cardiac arrest.
2012 called, it wants you to learn how to use the keyboard.
Just to be clear, I don't use any tab managers. To me, they're total noobville. I can guarantee you that I can get to any tab I need to faster than anyone using one of those slick tab managers. It takes me two hotkeys (assuming I don't already have the appropriate browser window open already). So I don't see how these things would do anything other than slow me down. However, I can see how mousers would like them.
Query post works in IE, it's just that IE was written by retards and will actually do something no browser written by intelligent humans would ever do: cache Ajax POST calls. Yes, they actually treat POSTs like they are fucking idempotent calls. I shit you not. I assume this was in some misguided attempt to make up for the shitty performance of their browser. This caused a problem in a web app we wrote and it took a while to figure out because it never occurred to us that any browser could be this fucking stupid, but IE managed to exceed our expectations. jQuery has built in cache busting for ajax calls but it only works for GET calls, so we had to add in our own to resolve it.
I have not checked to see if this is something that has been resolved in recent iterations of IE (9 or 10).
No, there's a big difference. This tyrant actually offers developer tools that aren't complete pieces of shit. Microsoft is so far behind the curve it's the fucking joke of the web developer community.
lol...You must be kidding. That (side tabs) looks like pure ass and really doesn't help me. You really need to learn how to use your browser better if you think Chrome isn't useful for real web browsing. Between pin tabs and multiple windows, it's works pretty damn well. There are also a shitload of tab plugins for Chrome (like Tab Outliner) that will give you a bunch of options for dealing with tabs.
I would say that if the main feature of this device is time telling and alarms, they have completely failed already. If this is even real, I doubt it will be anything remotely like a watch. It's the limited imagination of people who read this story that leads to premature disappointment.
Just an FYI...the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is $100 more, not $115 more. That said, it is frequently offered on sale and you can get for $250 (like I did). But I agree with your advice overall.
My argument is fine. If you had followed the tree from my first post in this thread, I was explicitly comparing the Fire HD 8.9. Looks like your argument is sucking balls now.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 has 1920x1200 resolution, the Nexus 7 has 1280x800. I have both of these devices and I can state unequivocally that the Kindle HD Fire 8.9's screen is not only better than the Nexus 7's, it flat out rapes it. The Nexus 7 screen is a joke (comparatively speaking).
California does have more regs than NC but that's not the real reason you pay so much more for water. Water is abundant and readily available in NC and the land to process it is much cheaper. California (southern anyway) gets most of its water from Colorado and land and (pretty much everything else) is more expensive by far.
It's culture but it's also the fact that it simply costs more to do business in places like the EU. Not to mention the fact that they have a habit of suing companies left and right and instituting huge fines. These things have a cost and you WILL pay for them at the register. You will never have prices that match the ones in the US for this reason.
Nexus 7 screen does suck balls though. It's not even in the same league. If you care about reading, the Kindle is clearly the better option of the two.
The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 has a MUCH better screen. And I mean in every way. I own both devices. There's no comparison. Just wish the Kindle had a better CPU.
I've never experienced any problems with my UPSs and they have definitely saved me from some unnecessary shutdowns and reboots. On a side note, I never install the included software.
I highly recommend picking a couple of books on the subject as it will be well worth your time. They are probably the most interesting creatures on this planet.

Wow, it takes you three corps to not pay taxes? I do it with one.

You'll get to keep the UI and now you'll actually get much better performance and more standards compliance. This is a win-win for any Opera fan.
It's been a very long time since Opera has been considered a performant browser. Even IE kicks its ass now.

Uh...have you used Chrome or Firefox in the last three years? You can do this shit already and have been able to for a long time.

Nexus 7 screen is smaller and sucks ass compared to the Fire HD 8.9. But the Nexus 7 does have a better processor.
That's funny because every report that's ever come out on the subject shows that iPhone apps make MUCH more than Android ones.
