I recently bought two Samsung SyncMaster 2443 screens. I unwrapped them, plugged them in and wondered where was the "on" button. There was none. I looked into the box for a "quick start guide" of some sort. Nothing there. Looked it up on the internet, nothing.
Turns out the "interface" is touch based, but there is no indication anywhere of where you should be touching the screen to turn it on. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how to turn the damn screen on.
Ok.. I don't get it. I got my Nexus 7 preorder on Monday and did not have *one* problem with packaging. As a matter of fact I have liked the packaging of every Nexus product I have bought as well as even thought the graphic design was good. I had no problems breaking the seals and opening the box.
I am much more concerned about the fact that the unit will not charge and the fact that so many people at places like at xda-developers are seeing the same defect time after time and the fact that I am having such a hard time getting an RMA.
Be glad you didn't buy an Apple product. They are so inferior;-)
Moving once every 3 years is not normal, and nothing you do to facilitate that will be considered normal. You are not normal. Stop arguing as if saving boxes for shit is normal.
Normal behavior is to keep the box until you verify that the thing works, then you chuck the box.
What is this normal behavior you're trying to tell us about? Your way of living?
Hint: We don't give a fuck how you live. Hint2: You shouldn't give a fuck how we live, unless we're pissing on your front yard.
Copyright is simple. Do you have permission to copy it? No... then you can't copy it. It isn't complicated. Does it last too long? yes, but it isn't complicated.
That's until you realize that a CD is first copied to memory before being sent to your speakers.
According to your model, only the copyright holder can listen to his own songs, because we underlings do not have the permission to "copy" the information.
Copying of information (we can also call it transmission of information) is something that has become universal and ubiquitous with the internet. Remove that ability and the internet dies right there.
BTW, do you know I violated your copyright by quoting you on the top of my comment? I should be sent to jail...
Methinks you don't understand what a public debt is. China won't barge in and say "You have 24 hours to pay us back". It's not some mob claiming its money or else you'll lose a finger.
Well, obviously there's no law forcing them into ghettos - even France couldn't get away with quite such a blatent violation of US law.
Are you implying that France has any obligation in regards to US law? I genuinely don't understand your point.
I have an odd feeling there are other, less codified ways in which they're excluded - probably home owners in white communities refusing to sell to Arabs, agents dissuading them from considering those houses and redirecting them to ones in the ghetto, that sort of thing.
We've been meddling with the Arabic world for far longer than the US, and their feeling about France is at best ambiguous. We've fucked with Algeria pretty badly actually. We've tried to make amends by opening our country wide to a huge flow of immigrants and we've been giving them a lot of incentive to come abroad, financial and with a lot of "rights" that if they're not written are at least well understood. We've also made a lot of promises about the integration of immigrants.
As a result, they come abroad full of expectations, which aren't met in real life. This creates a problem in and of itself. First off, they (a majority of them at least) come with the false expectation that they won't have to work their butt off to have a nice way of living. In return we offer them the RMI (Minimum revenue of integration). So yes, they don't have to work to earn a basic income, but no, this basic income is not enough to afford a nice way of living. And of course, the rest of the French population doesn't feel it's right to offer these people free healthcare, free transportation, an income for basically no return from their part. Not mentioning that they can make anyone from their family come abroad for free healthcare. Of course it's not legal but it's a well known fact. As a result, they are de facto excluded from other communities where people work their butt off to make a living. You can imagine the result after 30+ years of such policy.
This has nothing to do with their race or religion. The fact that most of these immigrants are in fact arabs doesn't help either to make a nice image for them.
All in all, it's a complex problem, and there is no simple solution. But the people that are excluded by the means you describe are excluded by their way of clothing and their way of speaking French in other words by their manners and education, not by the color of their skin or their accent. Not mentioning they are nowhere near rich enough to buy a house because earning money while doing nothing doesn't motivate them to actually try to work.
And the fact that there is no record of the incident except his blog? Nothing in the local press, at least nothing not linking to his blog and citing said blog as the source of information?
They basically confined their Arabic minorities in ghettos for a generation
As always, it's a heck of a lot more complex than that. No, we haven't confined our Arabic immigrants in ghettos. Yes, there are ghettos. No, they weren't designed to be ghettos. No, newly arrived immigrants DON'T want to live anywhere else than in those ghettos.
I can too make uninformed and misleading catchy sentences. Look: Meanwhile, while we accept those immigrants in our land, they lapidate and kill christians all over northern Africa.
See? Sounds good, is punchy, makes an impression, and is utterly stupid. Just like your statements.
To be really fair, China only holds a very very reasonable amount of the US total debt. They only hold 27% of the foreign debt, which account for a low percentage of the total debt. So far.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day after all. And if you don't burn your karma, what is it good for?
I am who I am. Why hide? You surely didn't in your comment either...
Looks like you forgot to check the "Post Anonymously" box.
What for?

Is cutting tape really that difficult?
With my fingers, yes it is.
took 20 minutes at the genius bar including the waiting
Including the 90 mile drive to the closest Apple Retail Store and the 90 mile drive back?
Yup. Got a private Jet. Easy as pie.

I might one day want to sell my Apple IIgs
How's today sound?

I want to suck ass.
Then use the iPhone Facebook app !
They also don't know how to do it at all. The iPhone app sucks ass really badly. G+ iPhone app is a model of stability and usability in comparison.

I live in Paris you stupid cretin.
Now, if you have something to say, please, by all means say it. Or just STFU.
The pictures hardly show anything of value except the overlay that state "perp 1" and "perp 2". I think it was postprocessed.
I can too take pictures of random strangers in a McDonald and do that.

No, (s)he pointed out that many people had the same experience as portrayed in the comedy.
Pay attention, Bond!
So the comedy was an illustration or not? You say I got it wrong, but the bottom line is that you agree with me...
I never said he used the Comedy to deduce of imply anything, just as an illustration.
And the fact that there is no record of the incident except his blog? Nothing in the local press, at least nothing not linking to his blog and citing said blog as the source of information?

Burkha ban. Look it up.
Burkha ban is a proof that the banners are racists? Since when?
So you use a British Comedy to illustrate the fact that French are racists?
You may not be racist, but you are stupid for sure.
Did you forget to link to the link?
No.
To be really fair, China only holds a very very reasonable amount of the US total debt. They only hold 27% of the foreign debt, which account for a low percentage of the total debt. So far.
Meaningless. There is no plan to pay off the debt, ever.
And there will be no such plan, ever. We're well and truly caught in the "living beyond your means" trap....
Very true, there is no plan to pay off the debt. However, every month, you pay the interests of said debt. And it'll stay like that just forever.
Just don't route them around the horn of Africa.
Yeah! Just let them go straight through Africa !
