The problem with ducted fans, as opposed to large blades, is that they don't auto-rotate very well in a power failure. I've seen many car-sized, wingless prototypes with ducted fans, but have never seen a successful design, and I'm pretty sure it's because of that (and perhaps a few other technicalities). Sure, there are parachutes, but they have their limitations.
There's an awful lot of experimental light planes out there, flying all the time, you know. I don't see how this idea is that much more unrealistic than may of the small, dodgy planes that are out there right now.
Uh, if you are serious about selling a typeface, I doubt you'd be using this tool. I also don't see anything heavy-handed about it -- that is your own perception on how things should be.
Didn't they just have a prominent iPhone hacker speak at one of their stores? And why on earth should Apple bother to support hacked devices? If you started hacking the hardware, you wouldn't expect them to support that, right? When they bring a DMCA suit against an iPhone hacker, let me know.
My Canon IXUS400 actually takes pretty sharp images. It sure won't beat a Canon DSLR with an L lens on it, but it's hardly what I'd call cheap compared to some small cameras. It's certainly sharp enough to benefit from RAW.
Every so often, I'll get backscattered for a few days with the catch-all e-mail account I've setup for my domain. Since I'm lazy, I usually just log-in to my ISP and set up an alias to redirect to another mailbox I have set up for this crap. If it gets any worse, then I'll have to look at a real solution, or even drop my catch-all account, which would be a real pain.
Exactly. Would it be fair to say that if you have a non-emergency condition and no health insurance, that you are basically left to fight for yourself?
OK, lets add in a dock connector. And while we're at it, how about a type-III PC card slot? A separate compartment for the HDD, battery, memory, upgradeable video card (because that's definitely a popular request here).
The problem is you don't seem to understand the key to good design: Don't bloat-up on features. The reason for this is because each feature added takes something else away. Just adding features without really thinking if you can do without them is how other people like Dell design their large confusing range of crap products.
You should get someone to look at your laptop, BTW, because having to remove the battery to prevent overheating sounds like a defect to me. I've never heard of it being a problem before.
As for the keyboards, I know quite a few people like them, so that can be quite subjective.
Yeah, it probably is. That connector would mean more wiring/PCB space and other stuff. Perhaps not much, but avoiding these things is the way Apple keeps their hardware simple and elegant and avoids making feature bloated products like many others do. I guess there just aren't enough others like you -- people who want a functional and aesthetic dock -- to make it worthwhile.
I'm not even confined to one vendor for application and use.
The thing is, some of us don't even care about that because we find iTunes to be just fine. I know this is Slashdot, but even so, I don't think that point is as important as some people seem to think (Linux users aside).
Correct information? Such as that it is impossible to re-size windows for optimal text width when required? Such as that most large amounts of text don't required you to scroll if you have a 4:3 display? Sure...
Slashdot Mirror
It's this kind of naive thinking that has been the cause of many of these problems. Hopefully you're just trolling.
And why not, was more my point.

I've seen much boxier and underpowered things than that fly with no problem.

But who says this is a tool? Isn't it also a copyrighted work? And if so, anything created by it could be considered a derived work.
Yeah, because less tolerance is what society really needs right now -- That will solve things.

There are plenty of apps available to do just that.
Quicktime works fine for me, BTW.

Pull an Apple? Since when has Apple tried to stop hackers trying to run non-Apple software on Apple hardware?

"The preexisting issue is a major one though."
Exactly. Would it be fair to say that if you have a non-emergency condition and no health insurance, that you are basically left to fight for yourself?
So, I've seen some pretty bad health systems. Does that make medicine (the physical type) a pseudoscience, too?
Some parts of psychology are "pseudoscience". Other parts are very scientific.

It's not simply "stupidity", it's also to do with basic safety, infrastructure, and economics.
Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft and their lawyers never thought about this.

Ever tried resizing your browser window? I think it's a non-issues in the first place because even most 4:3 screens are too wide for text.
Surely you jest, because sheep wouldn't be in warm climates if we didn't put them in such places to farm them. Right?
How is it a paradox? Do you know of some PETA supports who are specifically involved in animal abortion rights?
