Quick question. Where did the PC term become popular? IBM-PC and compatibles correct? Apple has been very proud for a long time that they do not make PCs either. When your smart phone/tablet/microwave/whatever else you slap a microchip into is IBM-compatible then feel free to let me know. I will be glad to concede the point at that time.
Now calm down, and please write something coherent this time. Your last post seems to be trying to pin arguments on me that I have never made. (IE programming?)
Ohh and did those Compaq machines have more then one usb, and wifi as connectivity options? I am willing to bet that it had serial/usb ethernet/modem disk/optical and from it being a compaq, I would bet big money it had a card reader on it. That sounds like plenty of options to me.
I don't think anyone would claim that its not a computer. we are claiming it isn't a traditional PC. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. You seem bound and determined to ignore all the people that have pointed that out to you by this point.
No, the person you replied to said it made it not a PC not that it made it not a computer. Please go back and re read it. You jumped off the handle on that bit.
Just because there are different shades of PC, doesn't mean that a tablet is a PC. You even hear about it on Slashdot alot. Tablets are not meant for creating, only consuming. There is no hardware that is upgradable, and connectivity options are usually limited rather severely on a tablet. Not including my previous points regarding architecture and such.
If you really want me to classify the Surface Pro as something though I would say it is in between a tablet and a PC. Sure that places it in a distinct grey area. Congrats the world is not black and white. In fact, most of what I have heard is that it is going to flop because it is little more then a bad compromise between the two. It ends up integrating the CONs of both tablets and PCs.
Redefining tablets as PCs is just a way for fanbois to trumpet their favorite manufacturer.
You are right, the ENIAC was a super computer. It was not a PC though (PERSONAL COMPUTER).
Tablets, while computers, fall into a category of their own. Different architecture, different form factor, different OS, different input method seems like good reasons for classifying it as different from a traditional PC.
Just as a PC is different from a super computer due to things liek a different archetecture, different form factor, different OS, and different input methods.
Let me guess, You are the type that would crucify Samsung because you believe they copied from Apple, but you can not believe that perhaps they copied the business model as well?
In sum, if someone looking at a photograph would think that the person in it is promoting or endorsing a commercial product affiliated with the photograph, then the use is commercial. But since it sometimes is difficult to know if the use will be considered commercial or editorial, it's always a safer to get the model release.
You are using that photo as payment for facebook's services. Therefore it IS a commercial transaction.
You do not have my permission to use it as such.
Show the photo to your friends, to your family, donate it for a good purpose. I do not want my photo being used by Facebook. I am vehemently opposed to their business model, and I do not like the fact that they would "own" my image at that point. Placing my name on it, especially automatically and potentially incorrectly just makes it worse.
Facebook's servers do not (at least should not) have freedom of speech.
Since it is an algorithm that is doing the recognition it could easily place my name on someone doing something I do not approve of.
If a person does something it may be an innocent mistake, and it is likely that that person actually knows me. The software does not know me, so it might not recognize subtle difference in between me and say a twin brother,or cousin, or doppleganger.
Why don't you log in and start sharing your screen name?
I understand someone pointing out your hypocrisy can be difficult. Please calm down and take a deep breath. You're still being an ass. Trying to blame me for your overreaction doesn't cut it.
When you can calm down and have a rational discussion. Please post again. Until then you need to count to ten a little more often.
APA Style: Major Words in Titles and Headings
"Capitalize major words in titles of books and articles within the body of the paper. Conjunctions, articles, and short prepositions are not considered major words; however, capitalize all words of four letters or more. Capitalize all verbs (including linking verbs), nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns. When a capitalized word is a hyphenated compound, capitalize both words. Also, capitalize the first word after a colon or a dash in a title. . . .
"Exception: In titles of books and articles in reference lists, capitalize only the first word, the first word after a colon or em dash, and proper nouns. Do not capitalize the second word of a hyphenated compound."
LG credited demand for smartphones that run on faster "LTE" networks, which are taking off in South Korea, Japan and the United States. It sold 14.4 million mobile phones during the three months, with smartphone sales accounting for half of the volume. More than 70 percent of its mobile revenue came from smartphone sales.
I have yet to see a game that used all or nearly all of the available resources on my PC. Once they do that they can start talking about offloading the work.
It is real easy to use any of the backup tools on the app store to create apks of installed apps. I used this to keep a copy of the local newspaper app that became bloated and full of ads. I was even easily able to copy the app to other devices to install it there.
I am glad you have come to terms with being prejudiced then.
You are wrong not only in the moral sense, but in the legal sense as well.
I wonder if the term "Store" is trademarked. I should trademark it and then sue anyone that uses the word when they are trying to sell something.
Slashdot Mirror
The fact that they are storing information about non users is what the problem is.
They'll only do that to the accounts registered in Europe. Everyone else will still be able to tag non registered users.

Calm down. It is not that serious.

I do not wish to endorse or promote the idea that I use or approve of the use of facebook. http://www.photoattorney.com/2006/02/commercial-vs-editorial-use-of.html
How can I remove tags, if I no longer have an account? How do I find out that I am even auto-tagged?

Why don't you log in and start sharing your screen name?
If it screws up and pastes my name on someone that looks like me?
If I never gave permission for my photo be used for commercial purposes?
If I don't want my name plastered all over the Internet?
If I no longer use facebook and wish to have nothing to do with it anymore?
I do not get why you think you should have the right to share photos of me without my permission. Especially with Facebook.

Most computer professionals are pear shaped. (Including myself). Perhaps it would be an apt description.
LMAO Tell me you don't actually believe that.
