    Probably the same "reputation building" company that's preaching namecheap on reddit.

    Is this the evolution of old tinfoil hat stuff? Government is out to get you got old? Now it's reputation building companies :-)

    Yes, because obviously anyone suggesting anything or saying company x providers good product or service is obviously a shill.

    It's not spelling. I rarely make typos and if I do, I almost automatically correct them. When writing quickly I have a tendency to drop random words. I have seen it with happen with others too so I have no idea where it comes from, but I'm not alone with it.

    In case you actually need some help reading the original line, it is supposed to say:
    I can't but be happy with their service.

    I can't but happy with their service. Clean, fast user interface with no horrible upselling like with GoDaddy. They are against SOPA and have worked great for years. I can only recommend them.

    Frankly I am disappointed that so many people recomend I get and iPad when the OP specified that I want an ANDROID tablet. Just because the iPad is popular, doesn't mean that it is right for everyone.

    They (and me) are recommending it because it is the best choice. Everything you stated in OP can be done much better in iPad, and you save yourself lots of headaches by avoiding the issues with Android. People are suggesting you devices based on functionality, performance, software and what really is good for what you want to do, not based on idealistic views about only wanting a specific platform. The suggestions are good, but of course you are free to ignore them and go with Android, but it really is not as good as iPad for tablet.

    And iPad doesn't have the technology? It isn't merely "fashion", as you state it. On top of technology, Apple has made sure that the interface is great for the user. That is a good. Linux also lacks in this in many things. Hell, if you have read slashdot even a bit you see how even the 'geeks' here are upset about Firefox UI changes and the newest Gnome and Ubuntu looks. User interface matters, even to geeks.

    That seems more like problem with Android. Why can't Android act as middleman providing access to the SD card, just like it does to the main memory already?

    There are numerous other countries with shittier conditions than China and Russia. The latter one is generally quite good, actually. China too, especially compared to the truly cheap countries.

    I would also suggest iPad 2. The hardware is better, it has more software and generally just works better. There are no fragmentation issues either. Android tablets always have the feeling of just something being wrong. I'm not Apple fanboy (in fact I would rather choose MS Courier Tablet if they ever made it), but in tablets front there's just no better choice than iPad 2.

    ISP's and hosting companies will not run out of IPs. This only means that the price per IP will start to slowly grow. Hell, every time I order server the companies still happily hand me over 5 IPs without me even asking for them. With a simple request I can also buy 256 ips for the price of $300 a year.

    And no, his life isn't over. Nor IRL or online. It's just how you handle the backlash. At the moment he isn't doing very well, but only because he cannot stop his ego trip and humble down.

    And what exactly is the limiting factor? What new features of Android limits the release of new versions to the device? There isn't one. The OS haven't changed that much the features wouldn't run on older phones.

    Sure, but Google wants to be competitor to Facebook and have the largest social network on the planet. This means they have to accept stuff that is "immature" too. And that's not even counting the cultural issues.

    They're not going to remove things that might offend specific foreigners because those foreigners make up a vanishingly small segment of their user base. To complain about this seeming contradiction is to commit a line drawing fallacy.

    Actually, non-US people make up majority of the worlds population. Should they remove anything that can offend someone somewhere? Because then we have nothing there.

    "If I had known, I would have treated the situation a little better."
    Referring to the email thread that started the whole mess, Christoforo said that he didn't know who he was talking to in his initial, flippant response to Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik.

    "I didn't know who that guy at Penny Arcade was," he admitted. "If I had known, I would have treated the situation a little better. PAX is a great show. What he does is what I've been idolizing since I was a kid. It's admirable he's put that together. He has a lot of connections, ones I want too."

    He just doesn't get it. You should treat people, especially your customers, good no matter who they are. He still isn't sorry for what happened, he is "sorry" because someone famous caught him.

    And he wasn't caught at bad time either like he says now. There's many similar stories about how he treated customers for a long time.
