If people are concerned about size why would it have to be more innovative than the bigger ipad? it just needs to be the right size for you. I would imagine for a lot of people this isn't a replacement for the larger ipad. It's for people who don't want the large one.
And in many cases the artist's contribution in getting the music to customers is quite small. It's just that their contribution is the most noticed portion and the bit everyone actually wants. But that's fine, you can do it all on your own if you want to and have the ability but that's pretty hard for many people.
I don't think it's unacceptable to expect everyone that has input in the process to get paid and if the artist actually doesn't contribute that much then why should they get the bulk of the money? And I'm not going to say the RIAA does give everyone a good deal but obviously a lot of artists think it's better than the alternative. So labels must provide some value. That's my point. Not that their way is the best way possible. Just that this idea that it's acceptable to download music because the labels add nothing but take all the money is wrong.
copyright infringement and theft are basically the same to an artist when all of his fans participate in the activity and yes art did indeed exist before copyright. You also more easily charge for your music because it wasn't recorded and even when it began being recorded it was still sometime before it was easy and even then you didn't have access to basically all music ever made for free at a few clicks of a button.
I don't have a problem with genuinely poor people downloading music. I do have a problem with people from rich nations who think it's better not to pay for it just because they can.
I use node.js on occasion myself. JavaScript can be decent. I don't think I would want to write my JS in PHP though. But shows the problem with JS' popularity. It has a lot of bad developers. That wouldn't be a problem but working with libraries is almost a necessity. It would be nice to trust that I could use jquery libraries with little fear but that's not the case. A lot of extensions are awful. It's not helped by the fact some people think they don't have to put semicolons in their code and other little things like that.
I don't think static typing will fix things. You can do large projects in dynamic languages. In fact in my last job we had a huge software solution that was mostly python. We didn't have any problems with it nor was it any harder than doing Java development. It needs to make development more consistent across platforms, it needs to have basic dom functions build in (really, get elements by id but not class?) and it needs to tidy on some things that allow people write bad JS (i.e. this https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/3057).
Maybe the helmet was the reason they were in the accident? There was a study that says you're more likely to get hit if you wear a helmet. Both the cyclist and drivers feel it's safer. Where as if you don't wear a helmet everyone makes the assumption your head will crack like an egg so the cyclist is safer and the drivers stay further away.
So the solution is not to pay the artist at all and steal the music?
But likewise, what should a artist, who makes music that not many people like, earn?
The artist did perform the song and might have wrote it but if he uses a studio, they have employees and the record label has marketing employees, manufacturing employees, distribution employees and then the shop has employees too. All these people help that artist get his music to the listener and you don't think they deserve something? There is nothing stopping people from doing it all on their own now. Except for the fact that actually that's really hard and most people don't have the talent to do all of it. That's fine but the most help you require the less you should expect to get all the profit.
So despite the fact it's easier than ever to do it all yourself, many musicians don't. So whether people like it or not, the record labels are clearly offering something worthy of paying for. Perhaps the problem is a lot of artists shouldn't really be in the trade. But if that is the case then you can't really complain their earning are small.
That would be an excellent idea but no one will agree on it. It's not just the users though. I don't think you'll get Microsoft or Google to agree on something. TypeScript in a way is basically Microsoft telling Google where to stick Dart.
I actually agree. Plain old JS itself is better than using a million libraries. That said, I will admit having to write your some dom abilities like getting elements by class name, while easy, should be baked into a web language and the incompatibilities should be done away with. Making an ajax call should be the same across all browsers. I would also like to see them tighten up the rules so it's clear to the JS hipsters to use it as it was intended instead allowing them to write JS that manages to work but it just waiting to break down the line anyway.
We have JavaScript and that's shit because no one wants to agree on anything. So what do we get instead? a dozen implementations or something that is in theory nicer but compiles to JavaScript. This is not a solution. It's a mess.
Fix JavaScript or give us something like Python minus the dangerous bits in the browser.
Yeah they're so bad. That's why Trent Reznor has gone back to using a label. Obviously freeloaders aren't as willing to pay as much as they claim. What a surprise.
It gets no new features and only security bug fixes. It's obvious they're only supporting it to not piss off people not that they intend for it to live forever along side python 3.
True but speed on conversion for some big projects is picking up. They will have to move and there will always be packages that aren't really maintained that will sit there and not get updated but those packages would have eventually broke eventually anyway. But luckily when it's just down to a smaller percentage of people refusing to switch, they won't cause an inconvenience on the rest of us.
Yet we managed a national phone network with less density and you ignore the fact that actually many states have similar population densities as European countries. Not every state is like the ass end of the mid-west.
I'm not blaming religion for all their problems (tax evasion as a hobby is more to blame). I'm just saying this is yet another sign they're not terribly bright. There mere fact they even have the time to arrest someone over something so stupid while their economy is in the tank shows their priorities are messed up.

Or perhaps we don't hand out driving licences like they were candy.

It gets even better.

And it would appear someone is working on a PHP to JS compiler. http://www.harmony-framework.com/
Why not code that compiles to PHP while we're at it. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be.
I actually agree. Plain old JS itself is better than using a million libraries. That said, I will admit having to write your some dom abilities like getting elements by class name, while easy, should be baked into a web language and the incompatibilities should be done away with.

He's was being a complete dick. I hope his parents neuter him.

They simply don't value it. It's too expensive to them so you don't get it.
Yeah, good luck with that. You can post something on a message board they'll ignore and that's the extent of customer support it seems.
My steps away from Windows went like this: BeOS, Mandrake Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Solaris, Xubuntu, OSX / Ubuntu and probably Mint next or Debian.
How cute, someone who thinks one corporation is worse than the others.
Visually it looks really nice and it's not being developed by an advertising agency so that's a huge bonus. I'm definitely going to give it a try.
The sooner we can stop self-entitled douche bags from ruining the roads the better.
