Whoa, buddy, who shit in your cornflakes this morning?
The increased resolution works even when type is enlarged. Even old folks can tell that. My father is 78 and can easily appreciate the resolution difference between the iPad 2 and 3 (it's called having glasses that work). And yes, that increased resolution makes properly ripped movies look better too. Or do you somehow think that people in their 70s are too blind to appreciate the higher resolution there, too?
The camera is because while maybe the guy only says he wants to do a couple of things, it leaves the option open to him to use the camera. For someone so het up about eyesight issues, surely you already knew that the camera app also works as a magnifying glass, right?
But hey, go ahead and only answer the feature set part of the question rather than actually analyzing the problem. Maybe you could post like an patronizing twat while you're at it.
There's nothing like laughing at someone's earnest attempts at political theory or correcting their grammar to belittle their attempts at being taken seriously.
I predict a day in the not-to-distant future where lazy consumers will tire of having to touch their devices to unlock them and will demand a DNA sensor that lets you unlock phones by spitting at them.
Even better, a DNA analyzer that requires a semen sample. Just to make things more secure, an image of the owner's choice will be displayed on the access screen to "inspire" them to produce the sample. If it's not your cup of tea, then it will just be an extra security feature, making things more more difficult to produce a sample.
Sure, there were a few single moms who had kids out of wedlock, but it was still relatively rare among the whitebread set. I guess that commitment thing only goes so far.
Not to mention that they shipped most of the jobs that didn't require a college degree overseas
Actually, most of those day-to-day jobs were replaced by automation--word processors, calendar scheduling software, email, voicemail, billing systems, electronic payments, and so on. Not a lot of call these days for people to open mail, move papers around, and file everything when it's done.
I remember reading about how this was going to happen in the '70s, and doing it first hand in the '80s with temp jobs like setting up word processors to print mailing lists in an hour--something that used to take a secretary a month to type.
Sure, it's easy to blame India or China for the loss of many good, basic jobs, but most of the blame is right there on your desktop computer.
I first learned how to program by figuring out how to do the conversion from one form of BASIC to another. It's interesting, but I don't recommend it.
In 1975 my mom bought an IBM 5100 for her office. It came with a cartridge of games that were written in IBM's BASIC.
In 1985 I bought an Apple ][e to take to college. I wanted to play those old IBM games, so I printed out the code from the IBM and started typing them into my computer. They didn't work, so I bought a book on Applesoft BASIC to see what I was getting wrong. As I figured them out, line-by-line, I also learned how things worked.
Because when these guys fail to prove that the defendant's computer is the one they claim, any lawyer worth his or her degree will slap them with a defamation lawsuit.
My wife and I have been wondering just what the public reaction would be if there was another mass shooting, but this time at a boiler room, scumbag call center. Y'know, line up Rachel and the whole cardholder services crowd up against a wall and let 'er rip. At the very least, I bet it would make the gun control debates a bit more interesting.
Working on a degree through University of Phoenix just to get the piece of paper--but even when I do it'll be useless because I'm already at a level that requires at least a masters per formal requirements.
I admire your drive, so I'll tell you--don't waste your money on Phoenix. Their standards are extremely low and they have no cred. I work at a traditional university with an online component for graduate degrees and we won't even accept a Phoenix graduate into our programs unless they have proven themselves in other ways. If you're going to put in the money and effort, find another school. There are a few good online programs out there.
/Disclaimer: I work at a traditional, nonprofit university in the Boston area, but I'm not saying which one.
I just use a privacy feature that Network Solutions or other domains have. No spam here so far. Yes, it costs more, but it does work.
Oh, I know they work, but I refuse to pay extra for something they should be requiring my registrar to supply for free. It's very simple--if they require me to supply real information, they need to also make it a requirement that I can hide that information from harvesters for no extra charge. Until that happens, I'll continue to use false information. I'm not saying that ICANN is the worst of all possible worlds, but in this respect they fucked up and I refuse to play along.
In a similar way, I refuse to have my phone listed my own name. Since having an unlisted number costs extra, I simply have it listed under someone else's name.
I'll give the correct information on my domains. Until then, ICANN can go fuck itself. I'm tired of receiving spam sent to the address I use on my WHOIS listings.
The problem described with the students cheating could be solved very easily by not releasing the test scores until all students have submitted their answers. This is a setting on most learning management systems.

Get a third-generation iPad. The cameras and higher resolution are worth it. You can find them refurbished on Apple's store site.
Some Guido doesn't like gays. I bet he likes fake tits and spray tans, though.

Wrong country's stats, but yeah, you get the idea. (Especially if you break them down by demographics.)

WHOA! That's a..lot...of explanation
(anybody got a tl;dr? ;p)
This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

Of course not. They have Adobe Reader, too.

That's before Bill Gates went to Harvard to study a degree in law.
Law is a graduate degree. There's no way Gates was studying it as an undergrad.
And if you want to eavesdrop on anyone all you have to do is put your ear to the tube.
Also a proper venting range hood. It's amazing how few houses have this simple thing anymore.
Thanks, folks, I'll check them out.

Rage on cocksucker! You're fucking pwned. Eat Apple cock!
I am so getting that engraved on my iPad.
I've left the money in a brown paper bag on the back deck.

Then wait for them to explain why, when they've been watching you all along, they suddenly need to know your address.
I never understood the "drug him" part in the second panel. Why would one need drugs? Just hit him with a wrench until he gives up the password.
