you think many everyday people creating a pet the kitty app are gonna sign up as a developer and submit their app to the app store? i doubt that. it would actually be good to have a separate app store for this so people know they are limited apps, but it gets people interested in the process and friends and family can download the app.
bah, youre all a bunch of crabby old men. almost everyone thats tried this device has fallen in love with it. the resolution is not low. i remember using 800x600 on a 14 inch monitor. this is gonna be very small pixels on this device. also it comes out at the end of july in north america with an android 2.2 update in september. thats less than 2 months to wait, not a big deal. it fits in a pants pocket. they made it as big as they could while still being pocketable. thats the magic size for me. the htc hd2 and evo have 4.3 inch screens, this has a 4.8 inch screen, only 0.5 inches bigger.
and iphones and ipad arent fragmented? theres 3 differnet hardware versions of the iphone with a 4th coming in a few months. unless you target the lowest common denominator here it might not be fully compatible too. plus the ipad is different again as well.
oh fucking please. who the hell is suicide bombing because of a disagreement of point of view? you think the suicide bombers in palestine or iraq have ANYTHING to do with religion? i think it may have a little more to do with outside armies attacking them and their families.
mines 164xxx and its still up and running. i downloaded and installed it the day it went public. the numbers were definately into the 100000s when it went public
ive always wondered why people dont just use drive/folder compression and keep them as raw wav files? no special codecs needed. no converting. its just there in its original form, and im sure the compressed size must be similar? anyone do this?
from what ive read, its a SEVEN inch screen. just look at the pictures, this computer is almost a pda, its very very small. look at this picture here, this is a little kids hands and the thing still looks small compared to them.
this is exactly what i posted to digg yesterday. i didnt think it took a genius to notice there was two notebooks side by side there for comparison. yes i guess im bragging a bit, but im the only one to point that out.
you are saying canada is completely ignoring it? absolute lies. its trying to meet it, its just difficult. the "risen 30%" is NOT since its been signed, its risen 30% SINCE 1990! aka, before this was even signed.
how could a game like this work, where you can go anywhere and theres THOUSANDS of places to visit. what you want wouldnt work at all. thered be a single place to go where they are weakest that youd need to fight first, then youd need to go somewhere else second as they are second weakest, all the way up to strongest. what you are suggesting would make the game EXTREMELY linear and pre planned. you wouldnt be able to start anywhere or do things in the order you wish. id rather have it the way it is! just imagine, 99% of the world is unplayable because you arent a high enough level so you need to go though it all in order.
how is this insightful? the parent did not say their gpus are cpus, he asked why they dont make cpus. obviously they wouldnt be exactly the same as the chips they make now. duh?
..From linux users. "well they havent tried it. blah blah". Listen, Ive asked many people on irc and elsewhere if theyve tried linux and the vast majority HAVE. But if you ask if theyve switched the answer is NO. Why cant you people get it through your heads that maybe linux is lacking in more than a few areas? I myself try linux regularly. The big word is "try". Im extremely far from switching and I just basicly tinker with it and hope that some day it will be worthy of me switching. I am not a microsoft fan in the least, basicly no one is, and MANY people would welcome an OS thats as good or even close to being as good. But my friends, linux has a long way to go. Im sorry to break it to you.
everyone here keeps saying that this only applies to the name of the application. then why did opera pay them the fee? the application is called "opera" is it not?
same experience as me. got a gateway laptop less than a month ago. installed suse on it and fiddled and fiddled and finally tried OTHER windows drivers and it worked.
altho the big reason i installed linux on my laptop is cause i wanted to mess around with kismet and stuff like that. it wont work with ndiswrapper i found out later.

"How many years has DOS been dead, and drives are still identified by a letter. Just one of those things that makes me shake my head sadly."
and if they did change it and break compatibility theres absolutely no doubt youd be the first in line to complain about THAT.
ask them why all domestic dogs dont look the same.
