corporations also pay taxes (or at least are supposed to). so the 5k in tax kick backs is spread over much more than just the number of residents in residential homes - but to be fair i have no idea what the ratios look like. also your statement supposes that the tax incentives are coming out of the taxes gathered from the population, but they could just be loans (debt) or paid for by other entities like current energy providers that have to offset their carbon footprint.
my 3 year old 1 ghz atom netbook is still running great. you guys dont know how to use your machines if you cant keep it from running like crap or if you think it has passed its usefulness in a years time.
a better analogy would be - you are a valet and you left the cars unlocked. then someone told your boss that you do a shit job of valeting the cars. you then and go punch that someone in the face.
Whatever his intentions, he was poking around AT&T's web server in a way he knew he shouldn't have been.
the parallel of above is that the someone was looking at the cars parked in a private area. the valet company sells the idea that no one can do that (look at your car when it is parked with them) but then puts your car on the street.
we do not know how significant 1000 extra employees are (other than a 50% increase in expected numbers). What would make it more meaningful would be to know the size of the population of employees who were given the offer (what if 5000 employees were given the offer, what if 500,000?).
so there is not enough info in the summary to make that statement.
im just going to continue down your chain of logic here. since the absence of government = anarchy it follows that private = anarchy. but that is where the problem is - we know that is not true (private != anarchy). & this is why the dichotomy is false - there is a third state that is being ignored.
I do want to point out that this is a highly debatable subject : it is subjective.
no actually there is not. you need to do it and you need to enjoy it in order to be successful, where successful means you have risen to PhD level of accomplishment. if you dont do it you wont be successful, if you dont enjoy it you wont do it (or will do it poorly) and again will not be successful.
I thought the original iphone is 'the same old shit' with a new paint job.
you thought the original iphone is some new shit. (i say original because you reference the point in time when the iphone was released)
i feel that: if you dissect the phones' functionality you see that it is 99.99% same shit. with that.01% looking like a mountain because of some excellent marketing.
what he is saying, is that the existing players put in 95% percent of the work that created the final product, not to say apple didnt contribute their own development.
car analogy: but if you buy a car, and paint it red, you shouldnt be given credit for building the entire car.
you are lying to yourself if you think the existing players werent creating an 'iOS experience' before apple came along.
i thought the same thing. but just to note - the 2 issues differ in cause and presentation. I think the lumia's issue in only is in low light - caused by a glow amp next to the sensor. this isnt too bad in my opinion because you are already shooting in a difficult situation and so you cant really expect that great of photo to begin with- and it only presents it self in the lowest of low light situations ~ at absolute max 10% of the photos that people take.
the iphone bug, on the other hand, happens in bright light - and that is terrible because all your good photos are going to be tinged that color - even when you dont have a lens flare.
the real conversion WTF is that they used US dollars as the common comparison factor. the chart should show the cost of beers in hours need to work needed to buy one. the way that this data is presented does not allow for an apples to apples comparison whatsoever
I would think that the top 3 most sold beers have already met an 'agreed to level of quality' - I mean its kinda self-fulfilling with all the people buying the beer and whatnot (the customer has spoken). i think you are being argumentative for it's own sake.
For the record: yes, i do know quite a bit about quality beer. my friends and i brew it and purchase it, but most importantly we drink it!
in my opinion the real issue is that the OP posted a good comment that did further the discussion and DJR told him not to bother. this stifles the entire forum community.
if the OP was modded down, then the real issue would be the complaints detailed in DJR's post.
you have my apologies for being as off topic, as i know i am.
there is no mention of icons, swiping, glass, or boarders. it is simply a patent on a electronic device that looks like a pad. i can not conceive as to how this was given a patent

+1 thanks for writing that

there are days i believe the entire internet is just such an exploration

until you actually look at those numbers you are just blowing steam. protip: real environmental activists obsess over these numbers
point taken, i agree

lemme fix OP for you fucks-
you have a low self esteem and so you bring people down to make yourself feel better? how middle school you.
yes i am aware of the irony of calling you ACs 'fucks'. i enjoy irony.
our difference of opinion is:
.01% looking like a mountain because of some excellent marketing.

you've just correlated yourself to the 80 year old lady who wanted the V8

that was the most insightful thing i've read on /. in some time. but i have to mod points (thus is life)
well done I LOL'd
feel free to ignore me, i just RTFA

thats a great example of a straw-man
I dont see that as more choices, that is less choices for the transit, traffic, and street view features.
the automatic version of the same car costs more, so yes i think that can be construed as an 'upgrade'.
not that i've ever owned an automatic, im with OP - I want to shift myself

I believe this is the patent in question here:
