From what I have experienced with the complete losers my 19 year old daughter is bringing home as boyfriends. I'll take a 80 year old frail person over a useless 20-23 yr old toothpick pothead wearing skinny jeans and a hoodie.
at least the 80 year old can hold intelligent conversation.
Oh so those tablets are going to sell for sub $200? Why are you hiding this news?
Or are you simply trolling because you failed at reading my post or even knowing anything about the android tablet market? Most of the manufacturers are in fact making junk. You named 3, I know of 12. so 3 out of 12 are good making the MAJORITY of all android pads junk. Even the big names out there are making crap. The archos tablets are utter garbage at a high price point. The 8+ china makers all make junk. The Pandigital tablet is junk. The viewsonic tablet sucks. Please point me at one that exists and I can buy right now that is not junk? The three you played with are the late to the game not released yet units that are finally being made correctly.
Please show me ONE that is not garbage, because I will buy it. Until then I need to wait for Samsung's 10.1 tablet as it will actually be the FIRST android tablet released that is a decent size and not built like crap. I have owned and returned or sold on ebay 8 android tablets over the past 13 months, How many have you owned over the past year?
but their search is getting useless. link farms are still not being squashed, and they are allowing SEO scumbags to move results up the list for their clients who 9 times out of 11 dont have anything to do with the topic.
Google needs to do the Iron fist thing on search SEO's and put any SEO trickery or linkfarms at the BOTTOM of all search results. My exclude list for Google searching is getting ridiculously long.
"I know at least some employers are now taking the slant that if you don't have a Facebook account you automatically either "have something to hide" or "are anti-social to the extreme". "
and only a fool would work there. Honestly, are you about to be killed or thrown into debtors prison? I'd rather flip burgers than work for raging assholes at a company that would do that.
WEll I take that back. Install the Wine packages and then run the winetricks.sh to install Internet explorer and you can get this working under linux.
Sorry, there is no non techie way to get this trojan working under linux. I guess you will have to suffer with a more secure OS for your banking, instead of complete windows compatibility with the insecurity.
iPad has 2 years head start. Honestly Apple had been working on it for more than 30 seconds. Google has a LOT of catch-up to do. Most of the manufacturers of android tablets are making low grade junk in hardware quality and choice. Yes the new ones are far better but have a price point that is the same as a iPad, so now they have to compete in direct comparison. If you were able to undershoot by even as little as $100.00 you make sales a whole lot easier. Hit the $200.00 price point and suddenly you will get even ipad diehards buying them.
But, what was released at the $200.00 pricepoint were junk. Processors and ram to slow and small to even run android 1.x decently. All of them came with a bastardized version of android and not a pure android that would have ran faster. AND all of them had severe battery problems that make them useless as a tablet.... sorry but 10 hours on and playing a video is needed. I do not want to have to charge my tablet nightly. WEEKLY is the most you will get on the charger.
Android will get there, but the current offerings do not entice me. more expensive than an ipad and still not big enough screens. Dammit I need a 8.5" by 11" screen with the resolution to match. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, and students all would want this size.
"Also, if you boycott the bad guys, you are more likely to fill the void with products from the good guys. Its not just about tearing down the bad guys, its about building up the good guys."
Does not work. build up the good guys, and they junp to the bad guys side the second the bad guys offer them a pile of money. Want examples? Metallica, Green Day, Ramones, etc....
They were all anti-establishment and against the RIAA and their evil practices until a big pile of money was shoved at them. Suddently you have lars wiggling his uneducated mouth all over the place whining about piracy, something they ENCOURAGED when they were a real band, I have several tapes of their early performances that were what CREATED Them.
The thing is, teaching them agriculture and Western information is a losing battle. Honestly, you are fighting a culture and belief system harder than a lack of education system.
simple books can be printed far cheaper and those don't need power. sending a person over to teach 20-30 people is far cheaper than sending 20-30 kindles that will probably die within 2 weeks from the rugged outdoors environment their homes have in them. Africa's problems are not a lack of education. It's corrupt governments trying like hell to make sure everyone stays poor and a old believe and tradition system that fights against change.
Better yet put it in a super cheap $5.95 mp3 player and you could air drop 60 of them for every kindle you delivered. I think the audio book idea is a major win while the kindle idea is a epic fail.
Many others tried the "modular" laptop design. result, everyone ignored it. there is no video card standard, there is no formfactor standard, no screen standard... etc...
So we get the mildly upgradeable laptops, most do away with a processor socket and go with a bga soldered to the board to save $0.32 per unit made eliminating processor upgrades.
It's a great exercise in though and design, but in reality cheap and custom is what everyone will stick to.
Anyone "bothered" by the big blue penis needs to grow the hell up and stop being a little baby.
Christ, it's 2011, we should be past getting all upset about something that is 100% normal and only those with a serious social problem get up in a tizzy about.
Heavy metal required serious artists with a ton of time and a unlimited supply of heroin and Cocane coupled with mega bands also given an unlimited supply of PCP and cocaine to create.
Honestly, Heavy metal can NOT be remade. it was a singlar moment in time and there is nothing that can be done to re-create it.
My desk at comcast, one I have not sat at for 7 years now is STILL empty and has my PC on it's desk logged in and running as me. I know this as friends in the department tell me that they still have not moved from my test server on my local machine to a production server so they simply still log in as me with the same password. That will teach them for hiring only MCSE's, one linux box confuses them.
Have copies of companies assets in their possession. OR physical assets of the company still in their possession.
I was cleaning out some junk data the past weekend, went through my archive of 900+ CD-R's of the past 14 years and found several discs that I shredded as they contained company data from old employers. I also found a binder with a printout of some sourcecode that was for a old job from before 1995.
I dont worry about the guy that can access a server at work, I worry about the guy that leaves the job with a 64gb thumb drive that has the entire customer database on it.
Problem is Loki went out of business and took linux gaming with them. Honestly, Linux is for real tasks like work, engineering, chemistry, design, etc... it's not a fisher price toy like Windows.
I dont see many games that run on IBM mainframes or supercomputers.... Where is solitaire for WATSON?
and honestly, THAT approach is what sill continue linux in the business world. No games = more professional to a Lot of executives.
"It sounds more like the usual passive aggressive comments shared between friends without realising that the police will take it completely seriously and charge you with it."
No comments like that ALWAYS can do that . only the really really stupid, or brain-dead think otherwise. What complete losers talk like that to friends?

'Judges dont want smart jurors.
Smart jurors understand that they dont have to convict based on law if the law is unjust.

Professionally I use a rs232 port daily... some days I use it hourly. In most professional uses of a PC those "legacy" ports are highly used.

Compile Statically and it runs on everything that is that processor type.
Come on, WTF is wrong with everyone all afraid of statically linking something like a game. OMG Exploit! in the GAME... not the system, the game.
I gamed on linux for 2 years.

You are 100% correct.
"It sounds more like the usual passive aggressive comments shared between friends without realising that the police will take it completely seriously and charge you with it."
No comments like that ALWAYS can do that . only the really really stupid, or brain-dead think otherwise. What complete losers talk like that to friends?
What does though is to reach up and grab ahold of an ear and simply pull down or foreward quickly. the human ear detaches from the head very easily.
Your rapist will freak out pretty bad when you rip his fucking ears off. plus it makes identification easier.... "he is the one without ears."
