Maybe they should just stop making products that are so much alike to those from another company which have proven its willingness to sue everyone over them.
You forgot blatantly stealing a competitor product and releasing as their own whanging just the name, not even recompiling it ! That, and on many occasions!
Ok, there are 50 prior art examples. Note that none of them apply to Apple's patents as much as Samsung's tablets do, but that's for another post.
Now. How come Apple made ONE tablet, after 50 or so competing models, and they sold more tablets in their first day than the 50 models combined in their entire lifespan?
And please, don't make it a marketing issue. You know there's more than that at play or else you haven't learn much in the past few years.
So obviously there was something about the iPad that the other tablets didn't have. But that's not innovation, even if YOU cannot pinpoint what made the iPad different after three years!
Not bad but most likely completely off the mark, at least in regards to the question asked.
If you design a website for someone, you've lost right there. What you should design is a *system* and the first thing to design in this system is that who can do what with it. For one, whenever it's live, how much control does the owner of the website want over his website? Should he call you every time his phone number or opening hours changes and he naturally wants an update? Will you charge him for that? How much? What's your SLA on such requests? What if he wants a "quote of the day" ? Do you handle that by hand? Are you sure? etc.
Start from there and drill down to the expectations of both parties. Then find a middle ground.
Which tool should be used can only be defined afterward.
Man, I laughed! The first pic is the French TGV in Avignon (a place close to where I was born).
The contrast is... wide. Your point goes through well enough. It's too bad Slashdot doesn't let you inline pictures, that would have made a terrific post.
One of the applications for these boxes are backup servers. Not servers that store data, but servers that move data around to make a backup of PC A onto another PC B. In other words, servers that move bytes around. Wifi sucks balls at moving bytes compared to gigE. There is no question about it.
Wireless is great, but only if it's unreasonable to expect a cable. For phones or tablets. A laptop on the move. For the rest, I'll take my wired Cat6 cable over Wifi every day of the year.
Your code should be ready for different client configurations anyways, so there is no way you'll get consistent framerate anyways. What OS and what browser were giving you this behavior?
Absolutely nothing. Every smartphone I've bought has one; I won't get one without this feature. Virtual keyboards on the touchscreen can't compare for me.
FTFY. Remember, you might be much, but you're not everyone. Yet.
Browsing the phones available from different carriers makes your argument seem completely ridiculous.
What is wrong with you Americans? Phones aren't made by carriers, they're made by manufacturers. Until you've understood this, you'll get milked by said carriers with huge fees for a shitty service.
Wake up dammit! Light the torches, sharpen the pitchforks!
There are plenty of stylus available for touch screens of all sorts nowadays. No need to go fetch a new phone. Except for the fun of a new phone of course.
I do think the "it's sexist" attitude is a rather silly, though.
Your example fails to offend men because men are seldom considered meat over which many feels they have a natural right to own. This is not the case for women.
Have you ever been sexually harassed? Have you ever been followed at night and scared you might get raped? Have you been looked at insistently by gross people whose "fantasy" was displayed right on their face? Have you been groped like you were a piece of meat on a stand?
If you have not, you will need a bit of empathy to understand. It's not out of reach though.
If a woman wants to see it as offensive that is perfectly valid. But from what I can tell not the intent at all.
I don't think anyone is questioning the intent here, just the sheer stupidity of the constant. You do not need to mean harm to inflict it. But you need to care about the others to be careful not to inflict harm. Stupidity is not a valid excuse.
Of course, this constant is mildly annoying, it could be a lot worse.

Why bother? Nobody seems to be able to duplicate that one.

Frankly, it's not that hard either.

Please explain.
There must be more to it than that, or else Microsoft would have reaped the tablet market ages ago.

Thanks for the distraction.
What would you do?
I'd grab a beer, start up the BBQ, prepare some T-Bones with some olive oil and some spices, and lay out in the sun.
Did I win?
But it was the first second post?
No, it was the second first post.

Could I write "sucks" a few more times? What does that even mean?
My question exactly. What exactly sucks about HTML5? You message would be a lot stronger with specifics than just repeating "sucks" 1000 times.
Pirates are in it for the sex?
Yarrrrrrrrrr !
HP? Making phones? When was that? 2007?
Absolutely nothing. Every smartphone I've bought has one; I won't get one without this feature. Virtual keyboards on the touchscreen can't compare for me.

The fact is that the US looks like Neanderthal when it comes to cellular.
My iPhone does the same. If I cut off 3G, Cellular Data, Wifi and let it off all the time.
I think you're an Android Fanboy trying to make people believe the Galaxy S it a heck of a lot better than it is.
don't read it, you don't have to agree with everything on the internet
pfew...
Could you elaborate?
Can't.. "The Patriarchy" triggers the same ctrl-f4 reflex as "The Zionists"
Fine with me. There is no obligation for you to learn something today. Just like every other day.

Look at this comic: http://goodmenproject.com/noseriouslywhatabouttehmenz/sexual-harassment-and-men/ you really sound just like the man at the end of it.

The question is: Why does Google makes me grab my tools for something that should not need any?
Normal has a definition, despite what what the liberals like to claim.
Normal - adjective
1 - usual: conforming to the usual standard, type, or custom
Hint: Keeping boxes for years is not normal.
And you are the judge of normality? Who the heck do you think you are? How do you know "the usual standard, type, or custom"?
Hint 2: I don't give a shit what he does - I give a shit at him claiming his behavior is normal when it isn't.
Have a bad day.
