The apple way would be to periodically scrap your business model, and try something new. From the Apple 2 to the Mac, from Classic OS to OSX, from iPod to iPhone, to letting iOS cannibalize OSX sales...
The apple way would be to give away VS.net and rebuild windows from scratch. They're half assing this one. I say metro or not. Ship or get off the pot.
Actually Woodrow Wilson predicted that having Germany pay reparations was a REALLY bad idea. It wasn't the hyperinflation that screwed Germany it was the war reparations.
Those who do not understand history are doomed to become libertarians.
Keynesian economics hasn't failed. It didn't fail for most of the 20th century and only started failing when we let morons like Arthur Laffer and Alan Greenspan run things.
Subprime lending with super low interest rates artificially inflating housing prices motivated by irrational self interest in the form of bonuses and spiffs by bankers, lenders and other financial institutions.
Also, short sighted whiny business owners who declare that we can't bother possibly raise wages with relation to inflation because that would be un-American. How dare people earn a living wage!
You probably tuned out because I didn't scream "GOVERNMENT!" and instead went with a more nuanced answer.
What's going to fix our problems isn't at the end of a gun or radical Governmental upheaval in favor of a libertarian ideology.
What's needed is a massive shift in cultural mores and norms finally saying that the fucking rich aren't paying their fair share and are actively trying to hoard what wealth they have in fear of it going away.
Being taxed at 3 or 4 or even 10 percent higher marginal tax rates with no tax loopholes by being paid in stock or other instruments isn't going to be the end of the world.
If they can prove that Google's really wrong about open and the tradeoffs you have to make with open with regards to security and ecosystem, it'd be so damned cool.
Of course warp drives are cool too, but I don't see that happening either.
This. I disagree with this end game, and most of his ideology. I'm posting this on an iPad for god's sake.
Yet. I hope he gets better. I hope he can make me see the light or vice a versa. I hope we can continue having this debate. I think some never ending debates bring us down, this one, however, brings us up.
He's a quirky and socially maladjusted but sweet man.
Yes. Macs are vulnerable to intrusion. But the problem with analyzing OSX's security versus windows isn't that windows is popular, but windows has gone its own way for permissions and security for the last two decades. Everyone else is running a UNIX-like. While UNIX-likes aren't completely safe, the security model was designed to treat user land as inherently untrustworthy.
While a root priv escalation exploit might in theory be trivial, I doubt we'll see one used due to the finicky nature of such exploits.
It's not that in the EU that APIs can't be copyrighted, it's that APIs can be clean-room reimplemented. Whether or not they can be copyrighted is another story all together.
Google didn't do a clean room implementation of Java with Dalvik.
I played with a Lumia 900. It's well thought out but execution is lacking. The thing wouldn't get on the in store AT&T wifi. So I go to toggle it off and see what LTE is all about and the soft toggle for wifi on/off gets stuck in the middle. Err. What? It's a UI element! Really?
Windows phone 7 is full of interesting and good ideas with poor execution and little polish.
It's not just to hide their money. This isn't about taxes. It's about logistics. The factory that supplies screens is down the road, the factory that supplies logic boards is a hop skip and a jump away, the factory that supplies cases is a short jaunt...
If you need to make a major change to production, it's easy as fuck.
Well of course the Romans were going to trash the temple. Jesus wasn't the only upstart Judean in those times. Hell Judea wasn't even notable for it's anti-Roman rebellion. Saying that the largest center of Jewish worship would be destroyed would be like predicting that at some point in the future, there will be an earthquake 2 weeks on either side of a full moon.
Besides, the fall of the temple was supposed to occur near the end times. Well, temple's gone, no end times. Hrmmmm. Suspect much?
Christians aren't any less susceptible to bad ideas than non-Christians. Scripture was used to justify the Inquisition, Holocaust, the African Slave Trade, modern day Palestinian diaspora(not saying that Israel is bad, just saying, not perfect, not even close). As a failed Catholic child, trust me. You will not win this one. Not just Catholic denominations, but Lutherans, Mennonites, Anglicans... even the Gnostics aren't free of evil from their scripture.
Whether or not Christians run relief agencies isn't important. That just means that many Christians, like most humans, are kind, caring and empathic to the suffering of others. I'm just saying that there's nothing special about Christianity that leads people to empathy and all the wonderful things in this world. it's not special.
Actually the first part of Genesis is a big fucking question mark. God creates Man, gives man no sense of right or wrong, no moral compass, THEN gets upset when, from having no moral compass, disobeys God's order not knowing that disobedience is bad.
Err WHAT. That sounds like an awfully abusive relationship. I'd tally a mark of Evil in favor of God in that instance.
Like i said before, Christianity has some good ideas, none of them new or novel(and a lot of it heavily borrowed from cynicism!).
After the retraction, I don't know if I even care if this is Apple at this point. Quite frankly I'd be surprised if this was at the plant producing Apple goods. The latest outbreak of suicides and protestations have been over the division that manufactures Xboxes, funny enough.
Matthew 24. It's clear he's speaking form the context of *this* generation.
I don't understand why Paul is a reputable source. His work has been entirely dissonant with the rest of the gospels.
Note,I didn't ask about sin. I asked about evil.
Why is it when faced with slavery, oppression, bigotry and human suffering Christians do no better than non Christians? Christians seem unable to detect evil. Much less fight or preach about it. How does god handle benevolence when evil is carried out in his name driving people from the church?
According to your own scripture, Genesis 1:27, we are made in God's image. What does our evil tendencies say about god?

So it's over basically. I mean, Paul has zero chance at this delegate gambit.
He's not going to win the nomination.

Because all of our problems are caused by the fed and none of those racist newsletters with his name on it are his.
Seriously. We're in serious trouble. We need serious people. We need serious economists and policy wonks.
Tearing it all down because of ideological purity isn't serious. It isn't even close. It's childish and stupid.
Because it'd be an amazing feat of engineering.

I don't know if this is the real APK or not. Wow.
I wonder what entries he adds or removes from his hosts file when his car doesn't start.
Sure. He did. But that's because he's a social moron. That doesn't give us license to stoop to his level.
No. But you don't cut off a hearse or piss on people's graves do you?
Sure, if he didn't build GCC, emacs or the gpl, no one would give a shit. But he did. So people care.
Show some goddamned decency.
Sure. He was shitty about Steve jobs' death.
But a man's life is in the balance here. Let's try to understand the gravity here.

Come on RMS! Pull through!
Might see a drop off, and a leveling off, but a bubble burst?
That implies there's a bubble. Direct financing of projects is the future, not a fad.
Flashback isn't nearly as bad as most on windows

on one hand, gamers have been known to be gracious and kind enough to donate and keep CHild's play running.
On the other hand, gamers are dicks.
I hope this ends well.

Mod parent up, +1 Insightful, then -1 Bummer
The literal translation of that particular verse doesn't help you. The passages before and after make it completely out of the blue.
Yes, it is a reason to fault God. God is all perfect. Why would he leave something so vague and ambiguous in the passage?
I clearly care that it's abuse of human rights and labor abuse, BUT, I don't care if if it's apple or not.
That's why I said I don't care.
After the retraction, I don't know if I even care if this is Apple at this point. Quite frankly I'd be surprised if this was at the plant producing Apple goods. The latest outbreak of suicides and protestations have been over the division that manufactures Xboxes, funny enough.
Not Apple's gear.
Right, but the passage cites specifically that it wasn't the time for the tree to bear fruit.
So what we have here is Jesus acting like the Old Testament deity being capricious and cruel for largely no reason.

Also. Mark 11:12-14. Jesus cursed the fig tree to die because it bore no fruit out of season.
Err. What?
