We're not talking about the police asking Facebook to hand over server storage so they can browse at their leisure. We're talking about government agents using Facebook or Twitter the exact same way that you or I would use it. There's nothing wrong with that.
I suppose that it's possible someone could have an issue with possible entrapment, but I can't see where there's a privacy issue just because you don't think the stranger whose invite you accepted might be a cop.
In over 100 years of the modern automobile, auto manufactures have not standardized on a location for the gas tank opening. You don't even have consistency between different models of the same manufacturer.
I'll leave extrapolation to battery packs to the reader.
I hope your family is raped and murdered while you watch. And that's not be me being dramatic. I truly wish that fate on anyone who thinks that "basic business" precludes ethics.
Given that no Arabs in the region want peace and that every Arab nation in the Middle East tacitly, if not explicitly, supports the acts of terror that make peace impossible, I'd say Israel is doing OK.
What is your point? I don't listen to the radio (except occasionally to NPR), but either what the GP writes is true or it isn't. Your reply seems to have no real connection at all.
The OS kills any application after 5 seconds that does not end itself when told to quit. It has nothing to do with preventing 2 apps from running at the same time. Rather, it is because there is no provision to switch apps in the UI, so if the app didn't quit quickly, it would appear to hang the phone.
The only requirement on timing is that state must be saved quickly to avoid data loss when the watchdog kills the process.
You haven't really used an iPod Touch or iPhone, have you? You also haven't read many replies in this discussion, or the numerous threads in other discussions that give reasons for multitasking on these devices.
Most games that I've played which have sound allow you to disable it so that you can listen to music. If you use a streaming service to get music, you'd like to continue while performing other tasks.
If you're a car geek or an asshole, you might actually care about that stuff. Most people just want to know if what they have in the tank will get them as far as they need to go. For that, MPG (or LKM) makes more sense because people can tell by looking at the gas (petrol) gauge how much fuel they have. They might not be driving 100KM.
If you have no symptoms, you are not sick. It doesn't matter what viruses or bacteria you may be playing host to. That's exactly what vaccines are about: giving you immunity such that if you are infected with a virus it doesn't make you sick.
You are a fucking stupid moron, and we'd all be better off if you died.
The GP stated that his customers complained BECAUSE THE LAYOUT CHANGED. And you come along and tell him he should have made sure the layout changed. You are really too fucking stupid to feed yourself.
I have 2 apps (and one is just a better, newer version of the other). The apps are very niche and only appeal to a small percentage of the total world population, never mind the iPhone/iPod Touch owning population.
And yet, I've made more than I spent on development. It's not a living, by any stretch of the imagination, but I most definitely have recouped my development costs.

I agree that something's scary, but it's not what you think it is.

The iPhone charges off of USB. I guess you're stupid, ignorant or a bigot. Not that those are mutually exclusive.
I haven't used a website that required an ActiveX control in probably 5 years. What decade are you living in?

Apple has been adding more and more automated tests to their vetting process. That is, in part, why some apps are being pulled after being approved.
You'd think a slashdot poster would understand automation, but I guess Apple haters are simply too narrow-minded to think.
I really don't think anyone is going to want a used penis.
Actually, I think a higher percentage of Jews believed Jesus existed than non-Jews.
We just don't believe he was anything special.
Taking pig insulin would be perfectly OK in any circumstance, unless one was swallowing it.
You don't know the first thing about Judaism's view on organ transplantation. You also don't know the first thing on how Jewish law is formulated.
I'd much rather people stayed honest because they believe in a God than because there is a government entity watching my, and their, every move.

Fish doesn't require salting to be kosher. Only meat from land animals and fowl.

CPU usage guidelines that the developers don't know about are not guidelines.

You have no vision what-so-ever.
Yes.
You don't even need those patches. 2.6 has been preemptible in the main line for ages now.

In short: you're completely and utterly wrong.
The GP calls himself pydev. Presumably that means python developer. Thus it is quite obvious that he is clueless.
