  1. Re:iPhone causing low hopes on Why Everyone Has High Hopes For Apple Tablet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You are an idiot and a moron. You are stupid beyond the simple understanding of the term. You simply demonstrate a level never before seen.

    Apple has not turned computing back at all, much less 30 years. The idea doesn't even make sense. The iPhone represents the latest techniques in hardware manufacture. The software is written using a complete object-oriented framework that simplifies the use of many technologies that didn't even exist 30 years ago.

    Or maybe because OS X is superior to Windows for automation tasks. Not everyone sits in front of one application every hour of the day.

  3. It appears someone is living up to their name. on Nexus One Name Irks Philip K. Dick's Estate · · Score: 0, Troll

    The children are dicks. In the vernacular sense of the term.

    I hope that if this makes it to trial that the judge slaps them with billions in fines for bringing a frivolous suit.

    For even thinking they have a case, they deserve to lose every penny they own. I truly hope someone just shoots them.

    The situations do not appear to be the same. But I understand how an idiot like you would miss that.

    VB doesn't have != as an operator.

    The limit is probably due to use of the flash memory to store the OS.

    It takes you a second to turn a page? How big are the books you read?

    You copy the iso as-is and put the disc away. If you need to save disk space or format-shift, you transcode the iso image, and not the disc.

  10. Re:And more GPL violations by manufactures on Android Phone Demand Up 250%, iPhone Down · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Umm, technically, if you buy the phone from Sprint or Verizon, they are the only sources legally bound to give you the source. HTC only needs to give the source to those they distribute to.

    Obviously, if you buy an unlocked phone from a 3rd party, HTC would be required to provide the source.

  11. Re:I am not surprised on Android Phone Demand Up 250%, iPhone Down · · Score: 1

    There is a stop button, but if you've scrolled the address/search bar off screen you won't see it. I guess it's a trade-off to get more usable screen space for the page.

  12. Re: all-day battery life on Freescale Unveils Design For $199 Tablet · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is. That's what Apple calls the variant of OS X that runs on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

  13. Re:Bulk discount on Apple Orders 10 Million Tablets? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Actually, I refuse to believe Jobs is that short-sighted or stupid. That hoopla over web apps was Jobs telling you what you had while he had the team feverishly working on the SDK in the background.

    He couldn't say nothing. And he couldn't say it was coming later, because if he did, no one would have touched the iPhone for the first year.

  14. Re:Sounds about right, but what about the network? on Apple Orders 10 Million Tablets? · · Score: 1

    Apple distinguishes between appliances and computers. The only things on your list that the iPhone doesn't have is a removable battery and the ssd slot. The former is a feature that most consumers just don't care about at all. To the point that Apple has been successfully selling the Macbook Air and the new Macbook without a removable battery.

    The only question is whether this new tablet will be a computer or an appliance.

    And the public has the right to decide that the poster who posts using the handle Belial6 on slashdot should be tortured to death.

    Same logic, near as I can tell.

    I deny it.

    I also deny the idea that you have any ability to reason as a human being. You are beyond stupid. Far, far beyond.

    If it comes to a choice between pissing my pants and pissing all over the floor, I'm going with the floor every time. I have no responsibility to suffer indignity to spare someone else.

    This is why I packaged any non-standard modules with my application when I developed with Perl on my last job. By containing the modules within the app, I made it my problem to keep them up-to-date, and not the system administrator's.

    While you are not wrong with regard to political implications, the topic at hand is copyright. As long as corporations, which are effectively immortal, can own copyrights, those copyrights cannot expire.
