Android already supports WebM (http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html). I'm thinking this is more of a "should we care about the people with iPhones?"
My answer would be "no." That'll add more pressure on Apple to not be jackasses w/ their mobile OS.
Four is unlucky in Japan because it can be pronounced "shi". Seven is also unlucky because that can pronounced "shichi". Why is this bad? "Shi" is a homophone for "death". Hence, they "invented" alternate ways to pronounce both. For #4, it's "yon". For #7, it's "nana". Simple as that, the entire Japanese society was able to cheat death. (BTW, why does/. not allow me to add kanji to this post? I feel less otaku...)
Have you tried telling him that his code is as painful to go through as running naked backwards through a corn field? Honesty is always the best policy.
Suspending without pay, expecting only trained people to handle sensitive data, and not charging the taxpayer tons of money? That's about as likely as convincing People Across the Pond they're all spelling "color" wrong....

In a bold and ingenious move, the Red Cross formed a committee to determine if fantasy needs to follow the same rules as reality. Separating reality and fantasy has become increasingly difficult. We've all been aware since the Harry Potter movies came out that something needed to be done. It's about time!
It's time we all stood up and stopped all the needless Avada Kedavra related deaths!

When reading, "Read writing from desperate perspectives." I instantly thought you were talking about the rambling writings of my ex-girlfriends. I would rather read a book filled with Perl obfuscation-contest winners' winning programs, than decipher meaning from their ramblings.

The problem w/ the Apple-must-approve-everything paradigm is that if you discover a bug in your application, you can't just immediately put out a patch for all your users. You have to go through the lengthy, time-consuming process of getting your small patch reapproved and vetted by the iStalin team. So if there's a very bad bug that compromises a phone, getting the patch out might take way too long.
<sarcasm>Now, that's how it is in theory. Being a software engineer, I've never written a single bug, so obviously this problem is only applicable to a few people, and even then, only the users of your application. I'm sure if there's a fatal bug that prevents your customers from using your application, they'd be very understanding that Apple needs to take a few weeks to check it out first. </sarcasm>
I completely agree. With the way these maniacs drive, it's difficult to even type this out, even though I'm on the strait part of the highway going 75 mph.
I'm pretty sure no matter how nice the resolution, using your scouter to gauge the power level of a Super Saiyajin Level 2 is still not going to happen.
The government is double checking court decisions to make sure they're fair and right?
Sweet Torvalds GNU/Jesus! What if the government behaved as a regulatory and fair entity that gets all the facts while laying down the law!?!? Heaven help us!
As a person with a history of issues, primary of which is social anxiety, the value of having my own computing platform can not be easily measured. Having laptops allowed me to work in an environment of my choosing, where I was able to work more efficiently without dosing myself regularly on Rx anxiety medication.
Second, I live off campus. The trips to school would've killed enormous amounts of time and money. I'd've spent thousands on the commute, even if it was only $5 there and back.
Also, there has been a myriad of times that something I was working on could only be accomplished on my own platform. Try building a OpenGL physics simulation at an art school that's filled with Macs without Xcode and Windows PCs without Visual Studio.
True, I'm probably the only kid that knows C++ in the school. It's also true that my own pursuit of knowledge would've been hampered had I not had my trusty Linux laptop. (Feel free to mod up for excessive use of the term 'Linux')
Lastly, you can't drink beer in school labs. Fuck that:-D

"Yinz jeet jet?" or "Go Stillers!" ring a bell? If so, you'd understand it's impossible to know exactly what people around here are yakking about.
Better make the coffin out of obsidian. Those damn creepers (especially if charged) make a mess of things.

CTRL-W? You and your emacs commands. Like another person said, real men use telnet (port 443 I assume).

Sometimes I wonder if these witty comments are writing from pure genius, or simply by not remembering Harrison Bergeron's name...

Another indication: only the word "America" is capitalized.

Jesus technically is correct, as all evil men eventually die. Ask Jerry Falwell,
As for Thor, I'm pretty sure that's not how it happened...
"Brain Damage"? Wasn't that a Peter Jackson films about a hobbit in New Zealand fighting off hordes of dead alive zombies?
... so you could Photoshop "I haz brain cellz" at the bottom.

Don't sell me shit and tell me it's a Playstation. (That goes for you too, Santa... I digress...)
They're asking, "Should fantasy have to follow the same rules that lawmakers make for the real world?" The answer to that is always, "No."
If it's not immediately obvious, switch the argument around to, "Should the real world have to follow the rules made up in video games?"
In a bold and ingenious move, the Red Cross formed a committee to determine if fantasy needs to follow the same rules as reality. Separating reality and fantasy has become increasingly difficult.
