Making not-needed changes that end-up costing the loyal Apple user more money. BTW when the iPhone 5 comes-out, I hope they reduce the price on the older 4 model. I want to buy one but $550 is a steep price.
Use the tools to auto-generate the code, and thus save time, but then clean-up the final result to your own personal tastes. This is what I do with VHDL or Verilog. (Also a good way to learn new techniques from the generation program.)
>>>I reviewed your posting history and concluded that therefore you must like Romney.
More illogic from my anon. coward stalker. I have said multiple times I am not voting for Romney. I am not voting for either of these 2 guys. I voted for Ron Paul in the primary election, and that will be the last presidential vote I cast until 2016.
There is not evidence of any sort against the existence of Santa Claus or Easter Bunny either. Does that mean I should build shrines to them & bow down to worship them?
I said: >>>And if they are too poor to payback the bill, well then they should have been getting free care anyway from the government or hospital corporation..... just as they get free food and other free services for the poor.
And somehow you twisted that into: "You seem to be under the delusion that everyone who makes enough money to be disqualified from food stamps and other such social services" should also be disqualified to get free hospital bills. I never said anything about the "disqualification level" being the identical for food stamps & free healthcare.
>>>Why would anyone bother running modern software on 12 year old hardware?
8 years old. Same reason I climbed Mt. Everest.;-) Also it's "green" to continue using hardware rather than throw it in a landfill. Plus I was mainly proving a point: That OSX 10.5's desktop runs slower than XP-SP3's desktop. OSX is not "sparse" at all.
And like I said before: Apple makes most of their money off their proprietary hardware. They are not going to switch to a USB charging/connecting solution unless forced to (by the EU).
Government is good for funding basic R&D and jumpstarting new technology and ideas. But then it should step out of the way, and handover the task to thousands of private businesses in the open market, rather than continue to hold a monopoly.
The internet is an example of a well-managed government project where the government stepped-aside when the time was right. (As opposed to other government projects like the Amtrak Monopoly that should have been sold to Conrail or some other profitable rail company years ago.)
Try running it on a 400 MHz Mac sometime. It's not sparse at all..... in fact it's slow as heck (you can actually see OS X draw the window). WinXP's desktop runs better at 400 MHz than OS X's desktop.
I feel maybe we should. They are wasting taxpaper dollars through their squabbling. (Plus other reasons like using Foxconn to build their devices & locking-down users' freedom.)
>>>Windows 8 on a desktop just doesn't make any sense.
What about Android on the desktop? I bet Google could make a lot of money selling PCs with the ad: "Works just like your phone, with the same android interface you know and love." Win8's failure might by Google's chance to chip-away at Microsoft's desktop/laptop monopoly..... just as they chipped-away at Explorer's dominance on the web.
Yes. And? That's exactly what I'll be using Windows 8 for: My desktop and laptop. If it is "bad" for that task then I won't be buying it. This reporter should not retract his honest opinion of Vista the Second (Win8). Unless he's being threatened by Microsoft?
It's truly sad. In my day we cut down our own trees, stripped the logs, laid them carefully on top of one another, and created a beautiful home that can withstand the worst storms. NOW people buy these frame homes with walls as thin as paper. Sure they cost less and can be built in a week, but what a loss of craftsmanship! (published in 1850)
>>>What I can't figure out is if they are just trying to keep their products distinct or they don't like it when someone else has a really good idea or what.
Apple gives-away their OS and software for almost nothing, so their survival relies upon making money off the hardware. Expensive Macs and proprietary cables == more money in Apple's pocket.
But the EU has now ruled that phones must all use the same USB standard for charging, so that effectively forces Apple to adopt USB, or else support two different connectors for the EU and the rest of the world.
Unless your goal is to make the company self-destruct. "Yes keep on doing what you're doing. It's working perfectly [the way you waste tons of money on overtime and spend more money then you have]. Continue doing that."
>>>I'm sitting now in an air conditioned room, working at my own pace and making orders of magnitude more writing software than walking up and down a field picking up rocks so they don't ruin the discer.
Well said.
I've been criticized by my local flying club because I buy premade models (Ready-To-Fly and Almost-Ready-to-Fly)(RTF and ARF). But you know what? I don't care. I've built the models by hand and it was boring work that was not fun at all. I'd rather pay an extra $30 to let the people at Tower Hobbies assemble the plane for me, so that I can spend less time in the basement and more time doing aerobatics.
And frankly I'd never visit a Home Depot. I have zero interest in laying tile on my floor, preglued or otherwise. Let an expert come-in and do it for me, while I catchup on engineering work (which will pay for the tiler's labor). While I do use ancient computers like an XP Desktop running on a P4, and a TV built in the 80s, that's only because they haven't broken yet. The minute these gadgets break I'll be swapping them out for a new machine rather than waste time trying to fix old tech.
"The commission is concerned the Romania does not follow the law." Delicious. It makes the U.S. look boring in comparison. Though seeing Delaware sue New Jersey was fun. (DE claimed they owned the Delaware River and NJ had to dismantle its chemical processing plant, because it had pipes entering DE territory without permission.)
>>>You seem to be under the delusion that everyone who makes enough money to be disqualified from food stamps and other such social services, also makes enough money to be able to afford any hospital bills
Strawman argument. I said no such thing. Obviously the cutoff for who should receive free hospital care would not be identical to the cutoff of who gets free food stamps. (Health insurance is about 2 times more costly than food.) Please don't put words into my mouth I never said.
People do not want to admit that death==nonexistence so they make-up imaginary "trips" to some other place (heaven, hell, Elysian Fields, space, whatever). In reality Sally Ride's personality dissolved into nothingness at the moment her brain's neurons broke connection with one another when they were deprived of oxygen.

>>>Boycott Apple.
Why? What are Apple's sins I'm not aware of any (except the Foxconn 80-hour-a-week worker labor thing).
I feel like I've read this post before.

Try running it on a 400 MHz Mac sometime. It's not sparse at all..... in fact it's slow as heck (you can actually see OS X draw the window). WinXP's desktop runs better at 400 MHz than OS X's desktop.
There's a stupid popup ad that won't go away, and I don't see an "X" to close it. (But then again maybe the problem is with Opera browser.....)

Few do. I've seen youtube yank videos & then restore them the next day.
