They didn't have to upgrade the infrastructure. SMS delivery isn't guaranteed at all, let alone guaranteed to occur within a specified time frame. The standards say that carriers can feel free to drop SMS messages if the destination handset is temporarily out of service, even.
The reason your imaginary scenario won't work is that if porn sites all start moving to.xxx, governments and ISPs will promptly start blocking it whether the end user wants it blocked or not.
I worked for a place, that was sworn to use RedHat.. Well, RedHat 6.0 through 6.2. The logic was "Our application worked on it then, we'll keep using it forever". Damned the remote exploits. Damned patching it, ever.
[...]
If I'm compiling for system-wide use, I remove any distribution installed packages first. For example, Sendmail.
You ridicule people for using obsolete code that's full of security holes just because it's what they know... and you still use sendmail? Do you not see the irony there?
As for being most popular smartphone OS in the world, you may want to try counting tablets and music players in your figures to see what is actually the most popular mobile OS in the world. Hint--its an OS as closed source as Android currently is.
You need to move the goalposts a bit slower than that, or it's painfully obvious.
Now, back to our browser tabs. The address bar shows the address that is open in the current tab - it changes if you click from tab to tab. Therefore, it is something that "belongs" to a tab. Therefore. it should be "inside the tab page" - which in this case means visually underneath the tab bar. It's that simple.
Yup. If there's anything that's in the wrong place, it's the bookmarks bar. That's the same whatever tab I'm in, so logically it ought to be above the tabs. Not that I want it there--I think it would look ugly.
There are so many stupid reasons given in that bug thread. "The tabs end up under my GNOME menu"? That's a window sizing bug with GNOME, not a reason for applications to avoid using the top of their windows. "It interferes with where I put my sticky notes"? Put them somewhere else or use something more efficient for your to-do list.
The rest of us will likely stick to tools that let us skip the whole mess, like, well, Python 3 or Perl.
I just stick
# encoding: UTF-8
at the top of my Ruby files and handle everything in UTF-8. If it breaks for some Japanese people because they have some stupid religious objection to Unicode, that's their problem. You don't have to pander to them to use Ruby, so it's no reason to abandon Ruby.
The first article doesn't address developer profit with any actual figures.
The rest are more 2010 articles.
It's also odd that you pick Rovio, given that they make a million dollars a month on Angry Birds, even though the Android port had horrible performance problems.
Since Android has more free and ad-supported apps and fewer commercial developers, inevitably the total revenue for the entire market is going to be lower. To look at which platform is more profitable for developers, you need to look at actual profit figures for individual developers. Some developers now make more money on Android than on iOS.
I mean, it's like saying that the Windows software market is 100x bigger than the Mac software market, therefore Windows developers must make 100x more profit than Mac developers. It just doesn't follow.
Although the curious side in me might want to see the results of such tests, the likelihood that someone would find such results useful in real world work is highly unlikely.
You say that, but it was the constant crashes that finally drove me away from Firefox.
I have been saying the same thing for who knows how long, but I usually say, "They could film these people eating live babies and someone would still hire them because of their "experience"."
I don't understand why they don't ask about the last book the other has read, and ask them to describe it, and follow up with an open-ended question about a specific point in the description. The present generation of Chatbot would be completely lost in that case.
So would most humans. "LOL U read books R U A fag?"
Slashdot Mirror
It's a good move. Parsing syslog sucks.
And parsing an undocumented binary format will be better?
11.10 is fine for me.
Then again, I use Kubuntu.
Apparently you don't live in the USA then.

One must be careful not to cross any legal boundaries
Why? They don't care about breaking the law.
Postfix. Seriously. Makes sendmail look like the creaky hack it is. Most Linux and Unix distributions have switched at this point.

Next you'll be telling me bears defecate in forested areas.
Ah, argument by authority. So you're resorting to simple fallacies now? My work here is done...

So don't you think there would be more commercial developers if Android users actually paid for stuff?
I've yet to see any statistics to say that they don't.
...which doesn't count for the 1750% difference in revenue.
...which is (a) obsolete data from 2010, and (b) aggregate revenue, not average revenue per paid app. Keep on ignoring those points, however.

I'd steer clear of the Kool-Aid, that's for sure.
I still got crashes with Firefox even after it started putting Flash in a separate process.

Or you could get them for $9 at Walmart.
In "Animal Crossing", Brewster the barista is a pigeon, and his special coffee contains a dash of pigeon milk.

Nestlé springs to mind.
Has anyone done the conversion to sRGB values via CIELAB?

I personally find all those '});' -- and worse -- bracket clusters in JS and Java, distasteful.
I find Python-style semantic indentation distasteful. So here we are.
