But I agree, turning up to work for 3 years as governor of Alaska and then quitting mid-way through your term is not really a qualification for anything.
About as much as your supposed experience that Sarah Palin has? You said (assuming the same AC) Sarah Palin had more experience than these people combined. You've yet to demonstrate what experience this is. Is it the 6 colleges she attended before managing to acquire a bachelor's? Or is it her time as Miss Wasilla? Or her third place in Miss Alaska?
Sorry, but it's not enough to dismiss the combined experience of all these other people if you don't have anything from Sarah to compare it to.
I didn't say I was gonna buy it fucktard? Strawman much? I'm interested in seeing what price point they are going for versus the iPad. It'll indicate whether or not they are really trying to take on Apple directly.
I don't care either way, I don't have a need for a tablet, or a smart phone for that matter.
And just how many costume designers, screenplay writers, computer game designers do you think society actually needs? Quite aside from what do the less creative people do, what do the creative people who can't find jobs do because we are already up to our ears in playwrights?
Unfortunately, since only 6% of the world's population are native English speakers, the other 94% of the world are forced to learn English before they can start using JavaScript.
I'm a "native" English speaker and guess what? I had to learn English too! I wasn't born that way!
Since 100% of JavaScript programmers have to learn at least some English, I demand they translate JavaScript into baby talk! It's not fair that my daughter will need to learn English before she can program.
While I think this whole exercise is a waste of time, and that there are a lot more English speakers than TFA claims, I would quibble that there is a difference between being an "official" language of a country and being widely spoken in that country. For example, Romansh is an official language of Switzerland, but is only spoken by about 0.5% of Swiss. French, German and Italian are the other official languages of Switzerland for those keeping score, and yes, a lot of Swiss people learn English.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. What's more likely, MS decided to gamble 10% of their turnover and years of court battles to try and sneak the ballot out of their European versions, or somebody pushed the North American version of SP1 out to Europe without realizing?
I doubt this is anything other than an innocent mistake by MS. Surely nobody thinks MS would be stupid enough to leave out the browser ballot on purpose and risk 10% of their turnover? I fully expect somebody responsible is currently pursuing opportunities outside of MS.
I don't doubt for a second that you could take a pad / sheet / whatever that sucks (much) worse than thermal paste, but if you had one that performed as well (or better, or maybe even only slightly worse) than thermal paste, then I think the convenience and the removal of guess work would make it worthwhile for a lot of people. Especially people that only play with thermal paste once in a great while.
As others have said, 2mm doesn't apply to the paste. But anyway this is exactly why a sheet would be so much better. No more fretting about "do I have too much paste?" or "do I have too little paste?" or "I just had to pull the heatsink off again because I didn't line it up right the first time, do I need to start over and reapply paste?". Thermal paste is a messy PITA.
Does this mean the copies already bought off-the-shelf have just become instant collectors editions? Expect to see "Game of Thrones - George Bush's Head Edition" on Ebay for about x5 the list price.

...is where is my motherfucking flying car?
Now he can't wait to see the next 2 movies.
Ahhh...it's good for kids to learn about crushing disappointment early.
...now this d-bag. Come on Apple. Spare us.
Wikipedia is your friend.

You know it isn't fully implement until 2014 right?
Shouldn't feed a troll, but...
Let's see shall we:
Compare to:
Yep, 3 years as governor clearly is more experience that a combined 138 years in the federal government.
Do we really have to bring them back? Seems easier not to.

Well, we start hearing about the iPhone n+1 almost immediately after the release of the iPhone n, and it doesn't seem to have harmed Apple any.
Any word on pricing?
I agree. I think we are looking at the last days of capitalism here.
Perhaps knowledge (and/or creativity) will replace capital as the thing that drives the economy.
Whether it is as simple as cutting grass or large-scale aquaponics to help feed people.
Both of which could be done by robots.
And nobody will read his novel if 7 billion other people have just published theirs.

Woooooshhh!
How does it compare to having to learn a sense of humor as an adult because you didn't learn it as a child?

I work for a Swiss company. Our official internal language is also English.
Stages could have been replaced with just about any other word to differentiate it.
Yeah, like Steps! ...oh wait...nevermind.
