And you're stating with a straight face that you can't tell the difference? What, you bought a TightPod, got home, and lost it when it wasn't an Apple iPod?
What pisses me off, is the name of the freaking product is "iPod", NOT "Pod".
Pod is a freaking WORD, not a NAME. I can't believe this damned discussion has to exist, shoot the lawyers, shoot em all!!! Take something as brutally simple and obvious as this and spew FUD until it is no longer so.
Because ActiveX is proprietary, not standards based, and only available on windows. Completely useless from a (good) web developers standpoint.
It has it's place, it's fine and dandy for intranet apps and the like, and for use outside the browser on win boxen. However, it rightly gets chastized out in the wild on the net.
Would you shut the fuck up already? You keep spouting the same WRONG bullshit about IE. You work on the IE team at MS or something? Holy christ! You sir are a complete fucking idiot.
Get yourself a true memory profiling app, NOT windows task manager, and take a good look for yourself. You are COMPLETELY and UTTERLY Full Of Shit and WRONG. Stop it already.
Then throw out Law as it stands and start from scratch.
If it's that freaking complicated, which it is, then FIX THE BLOODY THING!
It's a damned racket, like it or not. And those who have, can. Those who don't, lose.
The system is broken plain and simple when a huge Corporate Entity can pull this shit on anyone it feels like, and know that almost always, they'll get away with it.
Suggesting that the only answer is to hire a lawyer ignores a list of problems as long as my arm. And don't get me wrong, I'm not down on lawyers per se. It's the system that's broke, the lawyers just happen to be on the up side of said broken system.
Who the hell keeps modding this sexist piece of shit up? And still when there are numerous replies that expose these posts for the trolling smallminded ignorant pile of crap that they are.
Maybe in YOUR experience there is a corelation to be found...but I believe you're ignoring an important metric here...YOU.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe YOUR attitudes towards women result in you being treated this way? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

GIMP doesn't do it, well, doesn't focus on it, similar to how PS doesn't focus on vector graphics.
There is a good little open source vector graphics app though, inkscape, that you can find here: http://www.inkscape.org/
It simply can't. Period. It _could_, in a limited fashion, work along with a hard drive, but if you have virtual memory requirements of ANY sort, flash memory will be thrashed to unuseable in no time. So you'd need a hard drive still anyways for virtual mem, and then you'd still have everything else stored on memory that WILL degrade over time.
Hardly indicative of a stupid user. That is one of the BEST examples of HORRIBLE UI design out there. Unfortunately, it's so incredibly common a problem that just about EVERYONE forgets about the first time they ran into it and what a leap it was to find the magic switch that fixes it.
Just because you know the workaround doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist, or that someone faced with the actual problem who does not have knowledge of said workaround is an idiot. I have a feeling 'this guy' probably doesn't hold you in the highest regard, and rightly so. There are stupid users, but there are also arrogant IT staff as well. The latter is much more likely to cause problems than the former.
Just curious, but could you point me to a building design that keeps rain 'off' the building? That'd be interesting. Peasants had force-fields I presume?;)
And if your friend was in the US there is a VERY good chance that he'd have run out of insurance, run out of standby funds, and be in the hole and destitute at this point.
As well, even IF he had all this in the states, he could still, no actually, he'd be statistically MORE likely to have run across a bad doctor and may not survive anyways.
Herein lies the root of the problem with your argument. It's turned into an argument about lawyers and money, NOT about good health care.
No one said there was a perfect system out there. I'm sorry about your friend, cancer SUCKS. But you know what? People unfortunately die from it every single day. THAT is what sucks.
Look you fucking mindless prick, you are a PERFECT example of WHAT MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS.
I AM that good employee. But it's BAD EMPLOYERS LIKE YOU that take ADVANTAGE of employees like me.
Why the FUCK are you arguing with me when I stated very blatantly that I DID JUST THAT. I booked all my vacation. I was asked to pass over 2 weeks BECAUSE I WAS NEEDED. I DID THAT. Then I was FUCKED OVER AND NOT COMPENSATED FOR THAT TIME.
Not ONCE have you suggested that YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY to compensate your employees once you fuck them over on their vacation time. THAT is why you are a fucking piece of shit. It's all about what YOU need, FUCK your employees. Show a fucking HINT that you get this fucking concept for christs sake you FUCK.
Man I wish I knew where you worked. I can guarantee you you'd have no more employees by the end of next week.
And if you NEED your employees 365 days a year, you're a fucking asshole. Of COURSE there is a need to balance work requirements with vacation time, but you state your position so blatantly, it's pretty apparent that you don't give a flying fuck about your employees.
If you were my boss, I'd tell you to fuck off and die, to your face, as I scheduled an appointment with my lawyer.

Then you really don't know your chops.
It is absolutely possible to do, I've been doing it for years, and many others too.
Yeah, cause we're talking about win95 here aren't we? lol.
That's not a job for a trainer, that's a job for a FAQ.
What you're suggesting is more like paying someone to do your homework for you, but it is not the same as training one how to do something.

Yes, but that's beside the point in this case.

Do we HAVE to have this discussion, _again_?!
It simply can't. Period. It _could_, in a limited fashion, work along with a hard drive, but if you have virtual memory requirements of ANY sort, flash memory will be thrashed to unuseable in no time. So you'd need a hard drive still anyways for virtual mem, and then you'd still have everything else stored on memory that WILL degrade over time.
I'd view the MRAM hard disks as the long term goal.
Short term, and what I don't see mentioned...non-volatile ram. True instant-on.
And of course, once the price comes down and the memory size goes up, replacement for flash drives since it doesn't have the limited write capacity.
Hard disk replacement would be the end goal, but there are a TON of applications between here and there!
We bow before your vastly superior intellect oh great one!
And people that do support wonder why they get treated like shit, sheesh.
A little hint:
Just because you're right does NOT mean you are not being an asshole!

Um, results are nice and all but there is zero information in there on driving speeds etc.
+5 informative people? Did anyone _read_ the question and insinuated link to non-existent answer?
Damned, my 3 year old can't type...how'd this child manage?
Just curious, but could you point me to a building design that keeps rain 'off' the building? That'd be interesting. Peasants had force-fields I presume? ;)
That'd be worthy of an informative mod or two, IF there was a reference provided. Anyone?
I'm failing to find the economic model in this that allows Best Buy to continue to exist...
Maybe we SHOULD all be buying from there, they'd be out of business in a year wouldn't they?
You're completely right. Why would a BANK give a hoop about browser support? Why would they maybe be a bit anal about security concerns?
Who CARES if they only support a couple browsers because they're so paranoid they don't trust opera/safari/konq etc. That is a GOOD THING.
But you'd throw your trust at a bank simply because they supported everyone? Whether that support is tested to be secure or not?
Silly argument you've got there, if you value your money that is.
