It has to do with two different methods being equally correct in the standard. Microsoft requires both a carriage return and a linefeed(just like a typewriter), Unix only uses a linefeed. Which one you think is more correct is really a matter of opinion as both are fully correct according to the ISO standard. Historically there were reasons for the combo pair, and the ANSI standard requires it, but it is rather an anachronism in this day and age.
How many IBM Selectric Typewriters work with MS Word? Notepad, etc? Seriously, trying to reproduce the CR/LF combo for a tool that actually doesn't perform a electromechanical CR is absurd. LF all the way.
This is the problem. An artificial market for underpowered devices has been created, and is supported both by the standard math curricula (TI teams up with publishers to encourage states to purchase books that require a TI calc) and the standardized test manufacturers, while they do not "require" a brand name calculator, do indeed require that children cripple themselves and spend another $150 on a hunk of plastic that has not changed in years.
Kids should be able to use a Nintendo DS with a graphing calc cartridge, they should be able to use an iPod Touch, they should be able to use their little netbooks and so forth.
Try the other way around. The netbook market [20 plus years later] is encroaching on the traditional space where calculators for science majors were standard.
I don't understand the need for such fancy calculators for students. I'm sure there are some professionals that might like to have it, but I used a TI-83 through all high school and college and never found something you couldn't make it do that you needed.
What is the purpose of making these calculators with color screens rather than just making simpler but still advanced graphing calculators cheaper?
I hear you. When I was getting my mechanical engineering b.s. degree the HP 28S [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-28_series] was all the rage. I still have my Casio Scientific Calculator fx-7500G and just tested it. I bought it around 1989. The more I used it the more I began to store basic conversion structures in my own brain and after simplifications I was ripping through final solutions. You can get enamored with all a calculator can do and forget that it's not meant to take place of your own super computing brain.
Of course it's dumb. That's why I said don't do it. The reason I applied at Apple was because I wanted to know what sort of processes they have, because the work they do is really good, so in the interviews I asked questions to try to figure out what processes they have.
I also have the problem that I tend to be honest. They asked me if I had any questions, and I was really wondering if they worked their employees the way EA used to or not. Later I realized that was kind of dumb, but it's what I was thinking at the time. Lesson: be honest in a smart way, not a stupid way.
To answer your question about EA and how Apple compares, the answer is no. You aren't in a sweat shop ala EA. You're in an environment you actually like working in and the time flies as you become engrossed in your job.
This isn't flamebait. What the crap is "made for iPhone" supposed to mean if not "we've tested it and it works as advertised"? That means either Apple or the case supplier has a major fault in their QC, or more likely both.
How are you insightful, when you don't know the scope of the made for iPhone, branding?
Why do they all now work? They work now with the HTML5 Algorithm complete. Go to html5test.com and check against Chrome's latest browser, WebKit Nightly and Epiphany Nightly or Epiphany with WebKitGTK 1.3.4.
All the whining about Apple being sue happy when they are only countersuing Nokia and suing HTC. Meanwhile, Nokia is suing Qualcomm, LG-Group, Motorola, Apple, Sharp, Hitachi and Samsung. What a joke. Don't let the FOSS world find out. They just can't stomach Apple and won't shut up about Android. Since Google makes zip in hardware it makes sense that their hardware partners won't sue them.
Agreed. Like clockwork Verizon has gotten a phone call that ultimately sees them removing erroneous charges on my account for the past 7 years. I refuse the digital statement and it's quite easy to spot these charges when one always opens their physical mail. Now that the iPhone 4 systems are out and tested [what I've been waiting on] I am moving over to iOS devices for personal use. I've been using the same phone since I first opened the Verizon account. I'm sure they just love me.
OTOH, it's not exactly hard to get them to froth at the mouth. Just a few quick ways:
1) How stupid is it I have to watch me casing
2) Why can't this have a good input like windows
3) You should have
4) Here is a new keyboard.
5) we cleaned the boxes out of your cube.
Nope. You still have lessons in English to learn. ``The my work here is done,'' misses that certain nostalgic feel.
If you've heard of the inverted pyramid in journalism, you'd know that basic facts are stated in the first paragraph, and less relevant details follow in subsequent paragraphs. The first paragraphs of every news story are a summarization.
The problem with the iPhone for business is that for some strange reason they either 1) don't understand how business professionals work or 2) take shortcuts with software design and leave out important features.
- Like snoozable alarms for calendar alerts
- Or clickable numbers/links in calendar items (this was missing for ages)
There's a bunch of things I can't think of off the top of my head that make the phone less appealing for business users, all things that they should be able to easily implement in software.
The changes to Mail were welcome however, including shared inbox. Now if we just had a contact list I could immediately type letters into I'd be happy.
How old are you? You need a snoozable alarm to wake you up after a nap so you forget your group meeting or can't get your ass out of bed to go sift through a spreadsheet? If this list is your must have for Enterprise connectivity and software for mission critical development I'd say you must be the front desk clerk.
It must be nice to not include the entire infrastructure of code that is actually doing the heavy lifting as this fantasy that in only 1K you too can do x,y and z.
They can speculate all they want. Meanwhile, Apple will probably expand their WWDC to > 10k developers and they'll still speculate that the majority of devs are betting on Android.
As a developer:
- Android is way easier than iOS.
- ActionScript is the place when good language design went to die
As a user
- iOS apps, if designed natively, are extremely hard to beat in terms of responsiveness, beauty and general "native feeling"
As a vendor
- Flash is the common denominator, i.e., it may commoditize the platform, but I've yet to see a flash based app that looks as good as the best native apps
- Android will have a bigger user base but a worse monetization mechanism than iOS, i.e., more users but which consume less (more due to the neglect of the market than otherwise).
As a developer you're full of crap that Android is way easier than iOS. HTML5/CSS3/Javascript is the Common Denominator between both platforms.
AMD might try to give you more performance for the price now, and when they started they certain did, but remember that AMD are in the boat they are now largely because they used the advantage they gained from Intel's Itanium blunder to sell $400 mid range chips. Intel won their market back because AMD got greedy and Intel under cut them by about 50% with faster chips.
AMD have no high end, with no high end they cannot survive because today's high end is tomorrow's mid range. You need to be tooling up that process 6 - 12 months in advance to compete. As much as I love AMD(I bought AMD for years, until my most recent PC), they're done.
Not even close. Bulldozer architecture, merged with their rock solid GPGPU structure in OpenCL is a reality and a fundamental architecture design shift that Intel will work at copying.
I know nothing about it, but my guess is that it's only 1 Gbps to the router room of the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga. From there it presumably rides their T1 to the Internet. (Or whatever they have.) Also, it's probably 1 Gbps download / 128 Kbps upload.
You're correct. You certainly know nothing about it. However, 1Gbps runs $349.99/month and 30Mbps runs $57.99/month.

That's not actually an issue with notepad.

Opera 10.70 is abysmal regarding HTML 5, let alone the parsing algorithm is no where near the level of WebKit.

PDF is an ISO standard. If MS Office customers want it it will be in there.
The starting point for Opera is 10.7 and Firefox is 4.x for HTML5 standard support.
Safari, Chrome, Epiphany and other WebKit browsers will all work. Let's test.
Chrome 7.0.536.2 dev: passes
WebKitGTK+ 1.3.4 passes
Safari Release 5.0.2 passes.
Why do they all now work? They work now with the HTML5 Algorithm complete. Go to html5test.com and check against Chrome's latest browser, WebKit Nightly and Epiphany Nightly or Epiphany with WebKitGTK 1.3.4.
Your job is to write code, not to design a Sculpture to be admired throughout the ages. Designs are fluid, so is the code that implements them.

Much better comparison.
Slashdot seems to be a lot like Playboy in that regard... nobody reads it for the articles.
Although TBH, Slashdot's pictorials could use some work.
Are you implying they jerk off to the headlines? Where are those damn centerfolds, Slashdot!

I'll take LLVM 2.8/2.9 over GCC 4.4/4.5 thank you.
Notice how the only people advocating Xcode are anonymous cowards?
Do I appear to be anonymous?
Wait... you actually LIKE Xcode?
So far I've never met anyone who didn't have the urge to jump off a building after being forced to use it.
You must not know a lot of Objective-C devs.
It must be nice to not include the entire infrastructure of code that is actually doing the heavy lifting as this fantasy that in only 1K you too can do x,y and z.

Dear lord, this many replies, and only one person has the decency to supply a link?
Kudos to you sir.
Most likely because we all assume you can get off your ass and visit the site where the Documentation link is readily visible to the naked eye.
