yikes, when i was a php developer in san diego pulling $70k/yr i always thought i'd be able to make more on the east coast. i didn't move for several reasons, but i'm glad i never ran into this issue when i was looking.
but you have to compare that to the cost of Visual Studio
you don't have to. it's not either/or apple or microsoft as far as IDEs go.
and would it be fair to interpret the statement "to give the illusion of having multiple programs open" to mean "hack it together to make it approximate the correct structure" or is this actually a correct structure? aren't you really describing building a complete program, with a user interface that uses the above example "apps" as code libraries, rather than separate programs that call each other? is there even a difference beyond semantics, except that your process lacks the coherence of these separate programs into a single program? why go to all that trouble? why not just build a program instead of faking it by creating an illusion?
all that aside, my real question: isn't the problem with developing iOS on an iPad because there is difficulty in creating a development environment, at least when compared to anything but iOS?
smudgy touch screens, needs a usb keyboard, developers love more than one monitor...there are so many reasons why you'd prefer even a laptop for development over an iPad. apple likes minimalist product design, but what you get in return is minimal capability.
sony isn't a person, dipshit, and neither are you until you calm the fuck down. rape is used as a metaphor, we all get that its bad, that's why we want sony raped. metaphorically. because they need it, not just because they deserve it.
also, laughing at a person who you suggest should get raped does not align with your message that rape isn't funny. wishing AIDS on a person who you want to have raped, or a person who you think would be raping people because they like it, doesn't help your cause at all. you want rapists to get AIDS and spread it to victims?
you are teh fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111onehundredeleven
the video doesn't ever tell you what was said to palin that prompted her response. we don't know if the question was, "who was paul revere?" or "what was the purpose of paul revere's ride?" or "what was paul revere famous for?" if you don't look around, you don't realize that the question was actually about how her day was going. the paul revere nonsense just spewed out on its own, unprovoked.
so then palin haters make assumptions that the question was about the purpose of the ride, because that would indeed make what she said false.
palin fanbois on the other hand make assumptions that just because she fumbled her way around an historical account that her response wasn't complete lucky bullshit, or that it shouldn't matter if it is. fanbois also assume that because some scholars have said if you stretched what she said around how you like it, you could interpret what she said to be approximately what actually happened.
facts dispute palin's literal interpretation. paul revere was never said to have rung any bells: he was said to have warned americans along the route "the regulars are coming out" because it was a covert mission and everyone around them was british. they were rebels, remember? not the status quo in the area. paul revere was never said to have fired any warning shots. it has been reiterated ad nauseum that his mission was secret, with him being a rebel and all.
he was captured for a brief time, and released shortly after "warning" the british officers that they would soon be outnumbered. one could imply that his warning was meant to instigate his release, but we don't really know that for certain. it is reasonably certain that his mission was not to become captured, but honestly that's something that could be taken to one's grave. however, the media would like to embellish palin's gaffes so they use headlines to make it sound as though she thought his goal was to warn the british, and not the americas. factually he did both, to americans intentionally, and to the british incidentally.
the one fact that only palin haters seem willing to admit:
palin is inclined to make shit up on the spot because if she doesn't keep moving her mouth all you see is the deer caught in headlights. if she were made to attempt the equivalent of an algebraic proof of how she arrived at her answer, she would fail miserably. sometimes, just because you're right it doesn't mean you're right (my married friends tell me all about it). that seems to be something only palin haters can accept, but really we're all above twisting the meaning around to fit our narrative. palin provides all the ammo a sane person needs to shoot back, only in this case it's a complete waste. the shame of looking foolish does nothing to detract her from harvesting more of that shame.
i don't think he meant only physically handing the card to a person. anything you swipe the card on will capture the numbers and expiry, billing zip code, etc. and put it somewhere that is vulnerable by virtue of existing. let's face it, nothing is 100% secure AND usable. there will always be an attack vector somewhere.
i thought the point of not having instant on/instant off resource management was to enable multi-tasking. you'll need a new solution for multi-tasking if that's the case. a minimize feature (5th menu button?) seems obvious to me, but i know shit about designing a smartphone OS so i'm going to defer to those who decided leaving apps running in the background until you open another app is a good way to implement minimizing. that sounds retarded so i'll clarify. the minimize feature that enables multi-tasking should not seem to a normal person like the app has shut down.
it would be nice too if the home button, or back button or something, interrupted the current process so i don't have to wait for the device to figure out what i already know -- the app is having problems -- and kill it. google maps is one of the worst offenders, and i only ever use it when i really need it right that instant. but if it's the launcher that's lagging then you'd be screwed i guess.
You should definitely be able to tell the difference between me accepting you and me tolerating your existence.

it says the value of my home in 2001 was over $550k, but i was renting 1 of 30+ rooms in a large 4 story loft. i knew the owners of the loft, and it was valued at well over $5 million. $550 is closer to what i was paying per month. for several addresses i've lived, it says i'm a republican protestant, which is extremely way off. sites like spokeo.com are scary until you realize they're full of shit. don't know how it tries to infer whether you have parents in the household or whether one of the parents is you. it's been wrong every time. the horoscope/zodiac info they give you is more accurate than the rest of it. even the google satellite photos are so old you wouldn't recognize half the addresses i've lived. if all my public information is disinformation, then i think i'm ok.
Force workers to live in company dorms (like China?) so there is no commute time. Company dorms will provide the minimum requirements for living, eliminating the need for wages, since all their rent, clothing and food is given to them.
Replace multilayer government with one layer - a dictator.
Skip underwater mortgages altogether...they live in your company dorm now.
Make oil expensive so that the dictator can dictate how each company, and its dorms, will operate.
Entertainment provided to company dorms in the form of milkcaps and playing cards. No chess, because ignorance is the key to a worker bee's bliss.
And to both conserve space and employ non-rectangular building shapes, each dorm room will be a tetrahedron.
if you really want a harder drug, there is very little keeping you from getting it, and it's been that way for thousands of years. forget drugs, look what happens when you give millions of people unrestricted access to slashdot. basically if your group has more than 5 people your fate is to enjoy watching at least one of them misbehave, no matter what the circumstance.
wow you are really lost, aren't you. i can't believe you're still here.
1) Being married with kids is better than being single without kids. Being married without kids is better still, and being single with kids is the worst of all. Not a point in favor of having children.
Doesn't exactly explain the millions of people who are infertile or sterile, are married, and wish to have kids despite their alleged happiness without them. Doesn't exactly explain the people who are married and wish to adopt, or are single and wish to adopt. Doesn't explain the number of gay and lesbian couples who wish to adopt children despite a contradictory wish to not procreate naturally.
2)Lack of sleep and downtime is an important factor in unhappiness. If you can afford to hire someone else to wake up in the middle of the night to calm your crying child, then good for you, it doesn't apply. But for everyone else, this is important.
Hmm, let's see. Periods of my life where I went years without good sleep and yet had the time of my life....
1. College
2. Starting my own business
Yeah, according to your theory, going to college and starting a business have to be the most unhappy moments of anyone's life.~ Let's not forget also that things in life that are worth having are worth working hard for. Getting a college degree, running a successful business, and raising kids into a happy successful adulthood are all major accomplishments. however, only one of them takes the average person a minimum of 16-18 years.
3) How much fat is there to trim? You can't really ignore a crying child in the middle of the night. How many times a week can you afford to hire a babysitter? What are you going to do when Billy refuses to put away his toys? Are you going to discipline him? That's not restful or fun. Are you going to let it slide and clean up yourself? That's not restful or fun either.
the same parallels to college and starting a business apply here. you can't ignore homework deadlines / accounts due, how many times a week/month/year can you afford to keep hiring and retraining staff / paying tuition, what are you going to do when your employees embezzle from you, are habitually late, lose your largest clients....
really, your questions about raising kids are naive. nobody knows how to raise kids without practice, much like everything else in life that's worth doing. let's take a professional x-games athlete for example. the kinds of things these athletes do to practice what they do is not restful, and the painful consequences of failure are not fun. what's less fun, breaking a collarbone or getting your son to clean his room? but you do it anyway, because the reward for getting it right is so great. great rewards are a cause of happiness (sorry, i don't have any data on that).
sounds like you think having rest and relaxation is the most important thing to life. well shit, let's get rid of all schools and jobs. and still get rid of working to survive. we still need to make babies to survive, but our culture now has us working to enjoy luxury, not simply to survive. even if you have kids today you still enjoy far more luxuries in life than we as a society even deserve. basically any argument against having kids that relies on a complaint against losing pet luxuries is so stupid as to be laughed out of existence.
and finally we come to the last stupid thing you said:
Yeah I probably shouldn't have, since you didn't actually find any data.
**coughcough** and where's your data? there's no burden of proof on me, i'm not required to prove you right. you made a retarded blanket statement that -- as we ultimately come to find out, belies your preference that our society fuck off and sleep in over the preservation of our species -- and fail to provide any proof when called out. i then laid out a very reasonable request to establish a value system for happiness (yes, i kno
Although the research suggests that kids have a negative impact on happiness, the effect is small. It is also true that the same research shows that people that are married with kids are happier than those that are single without kids—something that is rarely emphasized in the write-ups of this research. Also parents overwhelmingly say they would be a parent again if they had to do it all over again. The same is not true of those without children; a much higher percentage express regret at not having had a child. Basically: the happiness data may not be telling the whole story. All or nearly all of the negative effect of children on happiness can be attributed lack of sleep and lack of downtime. Being a parent (especially nowadays) takes a lot of time and effort.
i think maybe you shouldn't have left me to do my own research. want some lotion for that burn?
w/e i do what i want. disclaimers are for pussies like yourself. another one takes the bait...
i don't have to look up the meanings to words i already know, that should be self explanatory. if you can't see that i used it correctly then you might want to look it up yourself. i admire your baiting effort though. you might make rookie status someday.
i had no idea about drugs until an officer came to my class, opened up a couple briefcases, and showed me every drug imaginable so i could recognize it. then he told me all kinds of cool ways that the drugs would make me feel like and act like. most important lesson from D.A.R.E. is:
Data show that having children decreases happiness.
bullshit. where's your source? "some people say" having kids makes you unhappy is not proof of anything.
first, quantify happiness in a way that can be verified, exactly like how you can verify the volume of liquid in a gallon jug. then define for me what deficient amount of happiness one must possess to be considered, scientifically, unhappy. then show me how you measured the deficient quantity of happiness in a predominant number of people who are raising children (not the worthless kind of person who abandons their kids to a television or the internet, a nanny, ritalin, or adoption agency because of convenience).
i suggest that it is the parents who refuse to raise their kids who report the most "unhappiness" in those retarded surveys. i'm not even a parent myself but i would never say something so blatantly stupid like "having kids decreases happiness."
