Touch screens can be aligned and then they are not hard to use. Alignment does not have to be a lengthy process, nor is it difficult, nor does it have to be done often. Anyone who ever used a Newton or Palm knows this.
How do you get around using banks? Do you work? Does your employer pay you in cash? Do they pay you in gold dust? For most people, we have a checking account because we need to deposit our paychecks. Most banks won't cash your check if you don't have an account. Check cashing places are rip offs because they charge a percentage of the check just to cash it.
Do you understand the difference between "serious jail time" and "execution"?
Yeah, but it was pretty clear he was just making an over the top joke about Texas. Like when I say that Texas is the only state where they execute retarded people AND elect them to be govenor.
I bought an XBox 360 and it was DOA when I took it out of the box. I called Microsoft and they couldn't help, so I ended up taking it back to the store. I think I will just wait and get a Wii.
There was a technique that was described on Slashdot a while ago that allowed you to turn over some crypto keys and it would decode a little bit more of the disk each time. That way, your opponent is never sure you have handed over all the keys and it makes it possible to hand over just enough keys to convince a judge. It would be nice if this drive supported that technique so that you would turn over just the first key if taken to court.
It sounds like the company isn't planning on a Mac version, which is a shame...
If you are talking about my case (the GPP), then yes, actually I am doing a Qt application that ships on Mac, WIndows, and Linux. And Windows is a fscking pain in the ass. What I meant was that if the WIndows users would just switch to mac, I wouldn't have to screw with Windows and could just do Mac:-)
Today (and I literally mean today), I am working on a specific issue in Visual Studio. But we DO have a Mac version.
It is more complicated than that. For example, the case I was on, the crime was "telephone harassment". During voir dire, all I know about the case is the NAME of the crime. That's it. I don't know the law. I don't know whether it is a fair law or not. I believe in the principle of jury nullification. That does not mean I think it should be applied to every single case that is tried everywhere. I have to know more about the law.
So, I get picked for the jury. As the case unfolds, the prosecuter lays out what the law is. I find out that the defendent is being tried for what he said during a single phone call that he did not initiate. The prosecutor claims that this doesn't matter because the law does not specify how many calls or who initiates them. Furthermore, she states that the defendent said the word "nigger" on the phone - therefore he has to go to jail.
The facts of the case are that the defendent says he never said "nigger". His wife says she was standing next to him while he was on the phone and he didn't say "nigger". The victim claims that the guy called him "nigger". There is not a recording of the call.
So, at this point, I start thinking that first, there is a reasonable doubt as to whether he said "nigger" and also the law is totally unconstitutional. Even if they had had a recording of the defendent saying "nigger", I would have voted for acquittal. To me, that's what makes it jury nullification.
If he had been charged with calling the guy up 2,000 times and asking him if he had "Prince Albert in a can" and there was evidence that he had actually done that, I would have vote for conviction. If the specifics of the law prohibited making more than a reasonable number of unwanted calls to a person, I would have had no problem with the law. I think it would have been constitutional. However, that was not the law. The law covered even one call that you didn't make if you say something that offends someone, then it is phone harassment and you go to prison. WTF??? To me, that is a violation of first amendment and also too vague. How could I possibly have known that the law was written that way during voir dire???? They didn't read me the law or let me see it - they just named the name of the crime!
OK, well I buy that. However, when I served, I hadn't prejudged the case to the degree where I could say what my verdict would be no matter what the evidence is. I merely believe strongly in innocent until proven guilty and in the principle of jury nullification. That doesn't mean that I couldn't vote guilty given the right evidence.
I use both XCode and Visual Studio. I much prefer XCode and Interface Builder. There are also a lot of other very nice tools that Apple bundles for free. They are nicer to use than what Microsoft gives you, plus there are a lot of things that you get for free on Apple that you would have to buy third party on Windows such as the coverage tool (gcov) and the profiler (Shark). So, yes, Apple's tools ARE as nice as they appear to be.
Unfortunately, today I have to use Visual Studio and I'm trying to figure out how to get my program to run in a Release build. It runs OK in Debug, but for whatever reason I'm getting an error dialog about not having a manifest file to load the C++ runtime DLL (?). I wish I could use XCode to write Windows apps. Or alternatively that our Windows users would just all buy Macs.
Being impartial doesn't mean that you don't have opinions about politics. It just means that you will look at the specific case with an open mind. I think you disqualified yourself unnecessarily. Wouldn't it have been fair to merely say to yourself that you believed the guy to be innocent until PROVEN guilty? How is that dishonest?
I actually served on a jury where I was planning to vote for acquittal because I thought the law itself was bad (among other reasons.) During the questioning they did not ask my views on juries in general or anything like that - it was just "do you know either party?" "Are you married to a cop?" and "have you read about the case in the newspaper?"
Dude, do you realize what terrible things could happen if someone uses this code. They could probably WALK THEIR LOVED ONES TO THE GATE TO SEE THEM OFF!!!! AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!!
A huge portion of the country would sit at home and subsist off their "allowance" while the garbage went un-collected, concrete blocks went un-loaded, and ditches remain un-dug.
No, I think he means that we would only give the welfare to citizens, not the wetbacks.

if i pay you to break the law, i am just as guilty as if i broke the law.
That's not true. If it were then murder for hire would be illegal.

Even George W. Bush uses Internets to look at the Google Maps! It's number ones, baby!
Yeah, he loves the Google.
They didn't actually get any nuclear power. Bush got into office and canceled the deal before they got anything.

Yeah, I'm all up for watching another CGI movie made by NASA of one of their "space missions".
Microsoft could not get it working. Plus, they wanted to charge me $35 for the support call, so I said "no way" and returned the 360 to the store.
There is another product called the Radio Shark that has been out for years that does the same thing. It runs great on MacOS X.
I bought an XBox 360 and it was DOA when I took it out of the box. I called Microsoft and they couldn't help, so I ended up taking it back to the store. I think I will just wait and get a Wii.
Yes, that's what I was refering to. It would be cool if Seagate supported this.

But there are lots of similar things for the Mac, editors, etc. Have you looked at TextMate?

So tiny no one can read it. Esp compared to LPs.

Sometimes it takes hours anyway. So, you get the best of both worlds - slow AND useless.

The prosecutors would never file a criminal case, because it would be quickly thrown out on First Amendment grounds? Wouldn't it?
With a supreme court with 7 republican appointees? I doubt it.
