I've always loved Nokia's phones and never had any real problems with them. But then again, I recently upgraded to a 2115i. Which cost me around $20 and came with $21 worth of airtime. The black on white screen is a big improvement, it even has a LED light!
His reasons might be a little suspect, but then why *doesn't* apple offer non-drm files? It's a flag in a database, and each person who deals with iTunes could choose to sell their music with drm or not. Then the customers could express whatever demand they have for non-drm'ed music by buying it.
I think your solution is lacking a few things. This is the one I was thinking of:
The older an article is, the longer it takes for a change to go through. It will automatically be applied eventually, but will give someone more time to notice if it is an older article. Modifying this time is your rank on wikipedia. Anonymous users might be 0, Trolls might be -1, with their edits never going through automatically, and actual users could have any positive integer, reflecting their status in the Wikipedia community. That's a harder measure, but number of not-reverted edits might be a good one, or special appointment, or whatever.
The idea here is not that the average knowledge on a subject is the best, it's to make a system that retains more information from experts at a subject than from the common man.
More bloated? Perhaps. Less efficient? Certainly, depending on how you look at it. Python might be a very inefficient language to run, but with the increasing power of modern processors, this isn't as much a problem. Python is, however, very efficient to program, and programmers aren't really increasing in power. It seems to me to be a pretty good trade off most of the time. Why waste programmer time optimizing, when it has no significant effect on a modern system?
I agree. Seatbelts ought to be BANNED and a large spike pointing at the drivers chest should be fitted on the steering column. Not only would it make people drive really safely, it would cut down on motoring.
This is mentioned in the book Armchair Economist by Steven Landsburg, which is probably where you got it from. Also mentioned is that while seatbelts increased accidents, they decreased deaths (at least for drivers, probably not for pedestrians, maybe check the book).
I'd like to point out that these people could not point it out over and over again if it didn't keep happening over and over again. I think it wouldn't be that hard to have someone with at least a loose grip on English look over the news article before it was posted, and perhaps that same person could do a quick search through the old articles to make sure it hasn't already been posted. Also, if it was fixed immediately, there would not be much of a problem either.
Back when I was a kid, I bought a computer shopper for the sole reason of looking at the ads to find computer stuff. I'm pretty sure that was the real reason for the magazine.
You obviously want me to suggest that you yourself require one or more of these robot teachers on account of your spelling and grammar, but I won't fall for such easy bait.
Congradulations, you're not the kind of person this article is talking about. As the quality of each component becomes better, more and more people would be interested in using (in theory) this phone-computer.
Like any damage caps, this is good and bad. Good for the little guy getting sued by MegaCorp., terrible for the little company MegaCorp. is doing patent infringement on.

I would consider that a serious *solution*.
Remote control robots would be the easiest way to save the lives of men in your army, I think.

Unfortunately, it only helps when you're going West in the morning and East in the evening :/

And for you other guys, here's a discussion by Theodore Gray over "Brain Rot" induced by using calculators:

Bit hard to pretend your [sic] HotLisa16F when your voice only comes in over the subwoofer.
But if it comes in over the tweeter...

Actually, I'm pretty sure that would be thoughtcrime.

You'll notice that in the 64 bit version, you have more ammo. 64 bit is just better all around.

No, but it may be damaging your thinking.
Well if printing from a non graphical terminal the resolution would be ... 25x80.
What? You just dump your terminal to the printer one screenful per page? I take it you've never printed from a non-graphical shell before.
it can conveniently be backed-up against any nearby forest...
But sadly is destroyed by Captain Planet after a few minutes.
Actually, if I remember correctly, it was 19, still abnormal for a mortal.
Seems to be working fine to me.
You mean MiniCorp.?
If you buy $100 of stock in Microsoft, and Microsoft causes it to devalue to $1, how do they avoid liability?
