"Judging by sales? No. The 3.7" iPhone is outselling every device on the planet."
Samsung sells more smart iphones the any other company, as of Q1. There phones are >4". SO it seems people are moving to the bigger screen. I'm sure having more features helps as well.
Apple marketed and made smart phone popular, but they aren't currently doing anything new or novel with them
It's news for nerd because screen size and smart phones are a hot nerd topic. Disagree? then why the hell did you post?
" my write to say and write whatever the fuck I want." you have no such right when you work for a company.
" Anyone can do whatever the fuck they want, as long as you don't step on anybody's rights. How about that? " Are you 15? Think about that. Here's one place to start specify what considers stepping on other peoples rights?.
" equal is killing individuality," I wonder how slaves felt about that individuality? whole group of people who are different from the controlling class?
You don't live on an island. Everything you do.EVERYTHING impacts someone in some way. THAT'S why there isn't a simple rule.
BIBBOOBS_WINNER would be the same thing. A more appropriate example would be "TINY_DICK" or really "BIG_DICK"
I do make the assumption the my coworkers and I can disagree in a professional manner.
This is like that damn discussion I got into with HR about 15 years ago because someone was offended I used the term DAEMONS when referring to UNIX DAEMONS.
Really, no one should talk to anyone about anything because they person might be offended by any one..which I find offensive.
"she's automatically "uptight"" not automatically, but she could be. Now everything is sexist. Sometime it's just childish.
" Professionalism dictates keeping this sort of thing out of the workplace." Sure, but life isn't perfect. Sometimes childish things happen.
" Sure, some women may be able to laugh it off for the sake of appearing to be a "team player" and putting the men on the team at ease," that's pretty condescending to women.
" I can't imagine very many of us are actually truly completely comfortable with the idea " That's you're hang up. Don't pin it on all women.
"people we aren't reasonably intimate with commenting on our chests." and there's the problem. It says bigboobs. Not Kate6 big boobs. That aren't talking to or about you. It's a childish way to get "boobs" in hex. It in no way indicates a hatred of women, the women can't do the job, or anything about women. It says the person thinks about 'boobs' and needs a lesson in professionalism.
27 years ago I could imagine myself doing it. Is would have been childish, unprofessional, and need to be changed.. But in no way would I be making any comment on women about women specifically. Just a general statement that I like big boobs.
"As long as you don't have an officemate who's constantly showering you with unsolicited innuendo." You should just be glad they're showering~ heh. Seriously, this isn't innuendo, check your ego.
Men get tons of sexist shit to, but we deal with it. If we don't people just make fun of us. If the juvenile stunt like this drives anyone away from programming, I can't see how they could even function.
I fit had be a women who put in "0xB1GD1C45" I guarantee you no one would have said a thing.
150 million people actively use G+. So 75 million of Google employees? You need to grow up and actual try t understand what you are talking about when you open you're pie hole.
"FB can't die soon enough for me; I'm getting tired of holding out"
Did you think about it, or did you just not use it because it's popular, and you have committed to an emotional ID of being on the outside cause you think it's cool?
Otherwise the sentence makes no damn sense. If you don't want to use it fine, but why the fuck are you "getting tired holding out"? That implies you are holding out against your wishes not to be holding out. Makes no damn sense.
You know what? SO what. It's not for you. I know, your massive entitlement complex brought on by getting far too much attention as a child makes you think everything is for you and for you're approval. It is not.
If I invented a phone, it would have round corners, they;re more pleasing to the eye. I would try to claim I invented them; especially when other actual devices have had them before my device.
"Clearly Apple put a lot of time and money (two things they need to protect) into that product" That doesn't mean they created it or have the rights to claim it's their IP.
The LG Prada had a very good capacitive screen, and it was shown at a design conferenace well before the iPhone. I conference Apple employees where at.
no, the loser pays system in Europe is not very good. Samsung Can sue Apple for there losses. We have a system in place for loser pays, and it's pretty equitable in most cases.
there have been many great stories. And there is no reason a sequel can't also be a great story. Skyrim, Uncharted, Max Payne, Portal, Portal 2, Half-life EP 2, Dragon Age. ON and on.
That DM is in it for the power play, not the story or fun. DnD can be played with one book.
" Being from the school where the GM works with what the players show up with." Once Again, that's the GM and not the system.
You clearly like Pathfinder. That's great I'm glad to see any gamer in any system having fun. Don't hate something because you were introduced to it by a douche bag.
All you problems can be summed up in one sentence:
"You aren't a good DM." Sorry, but nothing there is a problem in any way what so ever.
Every single one of those can be dealt with with better fight balance, and role playing. You should listen to fear the boot. The first 100 or so episodes.
" Going into science and technology fields has the same effect on society's perception of a woman's femininity" Not really. Unless you spend all your waking hours outside the lab in a lab coat.
" Imagine Chuck Norris in fashion design. It hurts, doesn't it?" no, but i'm not an obtuse idiot.
I believe he used to have his own line of pants, so technically he is in fashion design. Karate jeans that stretch in the crotch.
"Most of us women in IT go to some lengths to avoid disclosing it in casual gatherings" If you keep hiding it, how do you expect it to become the social norm?
" Most men are intimidated by smart women, " False.
"and so most women who are smart try to conceal it." and then complain when they don't get looked at for their intelligence.
I just think you are an average intelligent person looking for excuses.
Calming effect? no. It changes their priorities. Getting married isn't going to calm someone down. Many marriages lay strewn across rock shores because someone believe their partner would calm down after marriage.
" People don't generally use prostitutes for social connection," They do in legalized brothels.

No, an edit button would be horrible. It would allow for seriously worse trolling, and all because you can't proof read your own posts.
talking about something meaningless is a tech writers NORMAL day.

Yes, becasue everyone has the same size hands ad uses only their thumbs for texting and never uses the screen for anything but texting.
I have a friend who is 6'5", and he like the bigger phones. It's almost like people are different.
" my write to say and write whatever the fuck I want."

Both of which are far more social; which I think likes the reason for such a low amount of women Computer programmers.
Sit in a cube by your self all day. Women are much more social then men.
OF COURSE these are generalities.
""TINY_DICK_LOSER," " is different the BIGBOOBS.
BIBBOOBS_WINNER would be the same thing.

" I've been dealing with hex my entire life and had to read it 4 times to see what the problem was."
Then you aren't very good at it. There is no way you could be any good at all, and not see that.
The internet is old enough now, you can grow the fuck up when you are on it.
Men get tons of sexist shit to, but we deal with it. If we don't people just make fun of us.

How is the GUI intrusive? I don't understand annoying either, but that's subjective.
Google has pretty good privacy policy and implementation.

You assume it pays well.

It is not.

Don't confuse Crappy DM with the system.
That DM is in it for the power play, not the story or fun. DnD can be played with one book.

The Bible has changed varies rules many times through its history. All of them based on superstitious nonsense and not actual fact.
The posters point was correct, 3.5 is saturated with too much new rules; and that's because the core 3.5 system is broken.
Just to be very clear: I'm not saying people must stop playing, or 'shouldn't play' 3.5.
