He is a racist and a theocrat who wants to carve America into smaller fiefdoms, so that the church and corporatist plutarchs can overthrow the rule of law. He is not even a libertarian, he is perfectly fine with the state infringing on your rights as long as it isn't the federal state doing it.
Obama is a terrible president. But exchanging a terrible president for a gaggle of state dictators is not an answer.
Obama is a terrible president because he is a right wing conservative schill.
I don't know how to describe what I believe in, some would call me a libertarian, some would call me a socialist. Both are right, both are wrong. But I know that republicans are wrong, democrats are wrong, and every libertarian I have seen is wrong. Show me a libertarian who doesn't worship the unregulated free market or the right of state governments to impose on the rights of their people and I might consider it. Until then, they are just as much a part of the system of corruption and inequity that is destroying my country.
The automatic weapons prohibition is on a state by state basis. Florida for instance allows automatic weapons, though it takes a lot more time and money to buy one than it does for a semi-auto.
In this case it is 7.62x51, roughly identical to the.308 Winchester.
That is legal for deer hunting in all 50 states, unlike the weaksauce 5.56x45 used in actual assault rifles.
So he didn't actually get an assault rifle, semi-auto hunting rifle that happened to be painted black, had an adjustable stock for comfort and rails for attaching a scope, bipod and other accessories.
You must not shoot much. Holding a high ready takes strength and endurance, as does controlling recoil while maintaining precision. And depending on the gun, a day at the range can be feel like getting punched in the chest a thousand times.
We don't really know that for certain yet. The original starcraft doesn't have the same DRM restrictions infecting modern games. It is entirely possible the original starcraft will be around in 50 more years even if the drm laden later blizzard titles crumble to dust.
and if you are doing art, being forced to zoom in limits the length of the stroke you can make. It is very much a limitation for that application.
Software development is by no means an edge case not worth serving, it is the core of what makes something a computer. Without it, there are no apps, your precious tablet is just an inanimate slab of plastic and metal.
I really dont care if you dismiss the areas where the ipad will always fall behind as unworthy. It just shows your ignorance. the one advantage you can claim for the ipad, its temporary advantage in apps is insignificant and short term There is nothing an ipad can do that an equally priced android device can not, the opposite is not true.
It has an undocumented feature of video out as well.
There are a number of compilers and IDE available for various languages on android.
For your other features, you will need to go with a tablet.
My infinity with the keyboard dock accepts a USB mouse, and likely accepts a bluetooth mouse even without the keyboard dock (don't have a bluetooth mouse to try with).
Multiple apps on screen: http://www.themobileindian.com/news/940_View-multiple-apps-on-one-Android-screen
I don't really have an opinion on which platform makes a better toy/experimental development platform, but neither is completely incompetent at the task.
My infinity can run all the apps that my android phone can, and on a bigger screen too. Only found one so far that has not scaled properly and it was still usable even though all the controls were scrunched in the center of the screen. The hurdle of android fragmentation is grossly overstated.
Can you write, compile and execute/interperet code on your iphone/ipad?
Can you run a webserver or database on your ipad?
Can you use a mouse as a pixel precision pointing/drawing device on your ipad?
Ipad/Iphone do have a good library of applications, I will give you that, but there are some things that it can not and will not ever be able to do, unlike advanced android tablets like the infinity.
what the fuck. Those are the specs of the machine, not one claim in there.
And what the fuck are you talking about "phone optimized" apps? There are plenty of tablet optimized apps for android, and android 4 itself is tablet optimized. Plus anyone who complies with good standards in phone apps will have an app that automatically scales up for larger screens.
Conveniently enough, office spaces and air conditioning are mostly daytime energy sinks. Solar power conveniently produces more power during peak demand periods.
Large scale solar thermal can also use molten salt heat sinks to store energy to run turbines at night with a high degree of efficiency.
I can confirm that the 20 day delay is from selling out. The first shipment of infinities sold out in hours.
I managed to find a place that got a second shipment of gray/purple infinities on day 2, so I have had mine for a while. But the keyboard dock in gray/purple was still on back order and I have had that for only 3 days.
It has a quad core 1.6ghz tegra 3 processor, that blows away the latest 2 core apple processor by a wide margin.
It has a better camera, both front and back.
It has a micro sd card slot and micro hdmi output.
And the infinity is lighter and thinner.
Add the keyboard dock and you get a keyboard and trackpad, more battery, an sd card slot and a usb port capable of supporting thumbdrives, mice and most likely other peripherals (sooner or later) I have not checked yet.
Transformer Infinity. Absolutely superior to the latest ipad in almost every way for a similar price. The ipad has an extra inch of screen on one side due to having a different aspect ratio, and a little more battery but no more endurance. That's its only advantage
But a lot of people would confuse some of my play for other peoples work.
There are android document editors, remote terminals, compilers, IDE's, and web servers.
The range of options for productive software available is somewhat limited compared to windows or linux, but it is expanding all the time and most of the bases are covered.
My tablet has a keyboard dock with trackpad, I can even use a usb mouse. It can also last for over a week without charging with light usage, or up to 24 hours of hd video. And its not an Apple iPoop either.
My Transformer Infinity tablet can use a keyboard and trackpad/mouse, it also has a full HD display and HDMI out.
Right now it is technically feasible to play traditional games only a few years behind the state of the art on high end tablets without having to dumb the games down for a touch interface.
A few years down the line, steam for android/iOS could be not only practical, but very profitable.

Ron Paul is not a great alternative.

I still stand by my utter condemnation of the abomination that is the ribbon UI. I want my fucking drop down menu's damn it.
The idea that "modern" apps are all going to be fullscreen and tablet optimized (ie, only interacts on click, no cursor hover effects) is asinine.
You are correct. I also doubt they allow deer hunting at all in Hawaii.
The automatic weapons prohibition is on a state by state basis. Florida for instance allows automatic weapons, though it takes a lot more time and money to buy one than it does for a semi-auto.
I have seen Bobs Gun Store, Bridal shop and Truck Repair. Though it was in Mississippi, not Alabama.
I think you ripped the guy off.
I dunno, I might buy again.
Bobcats are bad ass.

They were obviously using their smartphones to take and upload pics of the skimpy bikini's.

DirectX has the advantage of other features built in. OpenGL is just graphics. DirectX also does audio and manages controller input.
Low, there are several Open source API's that offer these other features, and some that bundle them with OpenGL, but it isn't as standardized.
I use LWJGL personally.
Its what blizzard did, of course I no longer consider them a game developer after diablo 3.
