    For $99 at CVS, what are you complaining about?

  2. What "Android" are they talking about? on Android Catching Up In the Tablet Market · · Score: 2

    Considering there are $99 Android 2.1 tablets that you can get in stores like Walgreens or CVS, is it any wonder they're "gaining marketshare"?

    They're on the low end of the spectrum, but they do browse the web and can play Angry Birds.

    Mid-2011 and a web browser this 'Mature' still doesn't have Print Preview. Oh well, at least you can use '3D-Accelerated CSS'.

    Which do you think I need more?

    Is this the version where they finally, FINALLY, implement Print Preview?

    Agreed. Lack of the ability to change even the most basic page layout options strictly keeps Chrome in the "Nice Toy" category.

    It's simply not possible for IE to be less secure, even if they stuck giant yellow landing stripes with a big blinking arrow visible from space with the label "ATTACK ME" on it.

    We should alternate between locking all the students in a library and force them to write essys about who they are, and letting them drive around Chicago in classic sports cars.

    Child B

    Because one day Child A is going to open one of those black boxes that has the sticker: "WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK DANGER IF OPENED. NO CONSUMER SERVICEABLE PARTS" and does something "inquisitive", like touching a flyback transformer or CRT capacitor that can be found in most monitors and TVs.

    Then there will be no more Child A.

  24. Re:Because you don't like it doesn't make it illeg on Anti-Spam Lawyer Loses Appeal, and His Possessions · · Score: 1

    This would be like a lawyer somehow figuring out how to nab child molesters, and in the process take possession of all their assets and bank accounts. The lawyer might have money as his motive, but if he's getting child molesters off the streets in the process, then that's OK. As long as he doesn't wrongly finger someone who's not really a molester, I don't see the problem.

    All he would have to do is convince a significant majority of them that he had a legal method to protect them (for a hefty sum), file a lawsuit, and enter his client list into evidence.
