  1. Re:I think I've found your problem on Using a Tablet As Your Primary Computer · · Score: 1

    The Chase deposit application is designed to help compress your time & do things on the fly while out, which is why it's for mobile phones.
    The fact that you want it for Windows or Linux means you want to take a picture of a check at your desk. That's borderline lazy...

    So, if you enjoy a technology, suddenly you're providing oral pleasure to people connected to it's creation?

    Are you sucking Linux Torvalds or Bill Gates dick?

  4. Re:Without Napster we'd still be buying all CD's on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Apple pioneered online music sales (without the periods, as you seem to have a lot of them) a lot like Henry Ford pioneered car production.

    Neither invented their products, however before they did it... well... everyone else kinda was being lame.

    I'd be using Safari exclusively, if there was a plugin for Google Bookmarks and Google Voice... it works nice.

    No, he gets it, he's just being an off-the-wall asshat who thinks that we live in a world where everyone can do anything they want with little to no repercussion from said event.
    What the GP fails to realize is that a single developer doesn't (at least should not...) control what goes into the code. There are (or at least should be..) project managers and committee votes within the application project.

    You are right.

    Yes, you have to own a Mac to code for a Mac. XCode is free, wtf are you talking about?
    The free part comes when you don't have to pay for the application, nor the compiling.
    When was hardware EVER free?

  17. Re:Why look for malice ? on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 1

    In that era, Microsoft was the opposite: they always sided on the side of vengeance and cutting companies throats. It was their delight, and would stab a company in the back if it would in any way improve their stance. Basically corporate sociopathic behavior.
    Doublestack, Novell, IBM, Apple, Netscape, AOL, DEC, all were companies that were turned on in an instant and had to deal with a Microsoft's severely bipolar behavior. That's only a list popped out of my head in 10 seconds...
    I'm glad the wind is mostly out of the sails of that company...

    Obviously the guy is a Unix person, otherwise he wouldn't compare Powershell to Bash.
    THAT's the reason, because it doesn't fit his needs as an administrator.

    Powershell does quite a bit that is unique to the Windows ecosystem, which is great for Windows application administration. Bash on the other hand is much lower level, and provides access to primitive tools which you can use as building blocks to put together the tool you desire.
    If you take this post as bashing Powershell or Bash, you'd be a zealot. I'm merely stating the facts.

    As an Apple & Linux guy, I'll bite my lip (as much as I hate to admit it...) and back you up on that.
    They did one hell of a job of cleaning up the huge memory needs, and making Windows 7 all together more responsive than Vista.

    Now, the interface on the other hand (ugh) is a lot like Vista, but saying Windows 7 is a relabeled Vista is akin to saying Windows NT 4 is a relabeled Windows 95.

    Yes it did, I can attest to that.
    Remember, X on Linux was not the same X on other Unixes, it was XFree86.
    Bugs were being fixed from the original code line, X386 (X11-R5)

    Any career that has a known large gap of unemployment isn't too lucrative unless your making bank (per hour, not more hours able to be worked) during those worktimes.

    No, Netflix is a place you can watch it TODAY without waiting for the queue.
    For the price of a double whopper combo at burger king, essentially.

    Buddy, I watch netflix for the 2 hours I have to watch a movie between errands, work, and sleep.
    It's not a lot to ask, and I'll be damned if I'll have someone with your attitude treating it like I'm doing something wrong.
    Fuck you.
