    You most certainly should have responded and thank you for doing so, if I had mod points I'd definitely give +1

    It's not googles decision to block the content, it's the content owners. Google has been taken to court by big media and have requirements they must meet to allow content owners to restrict access. As far as I remember if google are to continue providing video with big media they have to actively stop clients that download music. This isn't google trying to screw you, it's **AA...

    Have you seen what women carry in their handbags? I'd rather be hit with a mallet than whatever they're hiding in there!

    I think the AC was being sarcastic by saying the same that anti-warming people have said.

  5. Re:There would be no need... on How Do You Give a Ticket To a Driverless Car? · · Score: 1

    That's an odd question because how do you know there is a change? People who travel the same road day in/day out get to know the speeds of their routes and stop looking at the street signs. Yet when there are road works or a change in signage they can see the sign or watch the traffic around and see the speed has changed. Surely automated cars will get cameras that can do the same.

    Oh, it's to check an arrays bounds too so better make sure it fits those bounds

    Just to add a little more time, what if min is greater than max? Simple error that someone could come across by accidentally calling your rangeCheck putting the values in backwards

    I'll take your links, with a single person sharing their salary and post from PayScale which has 12! Salary for McDonald's Corporation Employees - Australia

    The link you posted was likely a manager of a store, not one of the kids on front which would earn roughly the same as you do in the US so no, we don't earn twice as much as you guys so our games should not be twice the price.

    I've done some modding on this thread but just have to reply.

    Errr .... Not everyone lives in the US? Some people live in countries where blockbuster is failing too so it can't work out for them!!

    Relatively light collateral damage? What is that? I don't think the families friends of the innocents killed would see this as being 'light'. I don't think anyone that has respect for the lives of their fellow man would see this as 'light' so please, what's your definition of 'light' collateral damage?

    When will /. have a like/+1 button on posts. Don't adjust moderation on it but it'll at least let people 'agree' if not just mark something they like. This being one I'd like...

    Why? I've got mod points, I can't mod it now obviously, but I'm curious as to why you think it should be modded up? To me it's not insightful or interesting in any other way then the common "I agree" use of positive mods

    Woah settle down cowboy. It's his project for his own work. If that is the worst bug you can find in his project then he's doing much better then a lot of code I've come across, even in major java frameworks.

    What makes someone 'qualified' to write code for themselves? Does he need to drown in student debt? Spend years studying just to get there? Everyone started somewhere so get off your high horse and let the guy make his own mistakes.

  22. Re:"No ecosystem" on Android On HP TouchPad · · Score: 1

    That is the only gripe I've had with it at work. Most scribbling I do is easy with a finger but sometimes more finite control, or just not having my hand in the way, would be nice. The newer, longer capacitive stylus' are suppose to be good to so I plan to place an order soon.

    A larger screen would also be fantastic, another reason I'd like to move to android. The 10.1 are still very portable.

  23. Re:"No ecosystem" on Android On HP TouchPad · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I use an iPad at work and have since it was first released in .au. The best thing it does that a notebook (this is assuming pen and paper notebook) can't is get my notes on my computer. I write once in evernote/awesome note/whatever note application and it's then everywhere I will need it. Same for using dropbox and scibbling apps. I don't have to later scan or rewrite, it's all there on my desktop/phone/laptop for whenever I need access to it.

    If you're talking about a laptop, I use the iPad for the same reasons above. Plus my macbook pro is heavy and my air is too big to easily carry or use in small areas like behind the sink when I work with recipes. I also can't use my finger to simply scribble diagrams or have others scribble notes from across the table. Also having the iPad gets rid of the 'wall' between me and my clients so it's useful for body language too, something I never underestimate.

    As for everyone YMMV but those are the reasons I use an iPad. Next year I'll likely change to Android as I've had enough of the walled garden.
