I see what you're saying. Your life has greatly improved because of the perfection of Ashthma medication. Is that drug really a breakthrough though or just an improvement of an existing line? This is like nuclear power plants. They make power exactly the same way that coal plants do. They boil water. We still, all these years later just boil water. Only the fuel has changed.
I've got a 23" monitor. It's very wide, 1920X1080 and it's much better than the silly ass 766 vertical display on my laptop but still I like to display a full page on the monitor. I guess I just got used to my old Sony 22" standard CRT monitor. I miss it so much I'm tempted to get it out of the garage and take it to be repaired.
I think Microsoft can. It's a matter of how many billions of dollars they want to bleed first. It worked with the XBox. Of course the XBox was also helped by Sony's stupidity.
I hate those friggin widescreen monitors as well. They're only good for watching video. For actually doing work and reading I have to continuously scroll every few lines.
I don't know, it seems to work the way it's designed most of the time. It's not perfect but unless you're far removed from a mainstream viewpoint it's not too bad.
If minorities have no say then it's not a democratic country. Democratic implies that everyone has a vote ya know? In the US the Bible Belt has a large influence because they vote. That's the way democracies are designed.
Tracfone is good for 90 days plus 90 days added everytime you buy more minutes. I still have one laying around that's good until about a year from now with 212 minutes on it. I keep it for emergencies like when I can't find my newer straight talk phone. Until my mom died and my dad started calling me 2 or 3 times a day I never used more than 150 minutes or so a month. After he started calling me continuously it ran to more like 500 minutes a month and I had to get a straight talk phone with 30 bucks a month for 1000 minutes plus 1000 texts. I seldom use more than half the minutes or 100 texts but it's still cheaper than the tracfone for that usage level.
You think so? I thought I was pretty tolerant. I guess you think being bothered by vulgar and obsece acts in public is prudish. Maybe I am a prude after all.:)
Whether forking is good or not depends on a lot of variables. Obviously if a project is stagnant or going in what a lot of people feel is the wrong direction it can be good. In other cases maybe not so good. I feel that mostly it doesn't matter. If it's a good fork eventually it will become the project and if not it'll die.
Other than quality, design and price there is no way to differentiate. What else is there for makers of hardware? I bought a Samsung phone because I liked the design better than the ones for HTC, Motorola and others. They all run Android so what else really is there to go by?
I'm really not a prude. I curse some and use obscene language on occasion too. Still the assault on public decency annoys me. It's one thing to go "Fuckin' A!" with your friends and another to do it around a bunch of people you don't know. I kind of miss having some standards of decency. I never had cable TV until my kids were grown and gone because about half of it wasn't (still isn't) fit for human consumption. What's with all the desperate housewife shows anyway? I watched about 5 minutes of one of those and it just makes me wonder.
I'm trying to figure what you mean by enlightened. Most use free speech to mean vulgar and mindless drivel. It's sad what people use freedom for. I am not by any means in favor of censorship but really it's sad to see what people do. Enlightened it's not.
I hear this debate all the time but admit I understand none of it. Does the Qu'ran require the forced submission of unbelievers or not? I keep seeing quotes from it that says unbelievers are to be destroyed. Are you saying this is not correct?

I think that's where I'm going. Use the vertical as a page monitor and the horizontal one for everything else.

It wasn't about farm land.
That's the nature of a representative government. Everyone gets a say in it.
Troll much? I think Japan keeping an eye on their neighbors is simple prudence. One is nursing a grudge from WWII and the other is bat shit crazy.
I think China's most immediate goal is the Republic of China (Taiwan). That's a thorn in their side.
no need to shout.

Thanks!
I'm not sure the United Corporations of America really care that much about what the WTO thinks.

I'm wondering since Symbian is open source now if someone else will make any Symbian phones.

What bothers me is he likely could have gotten less time for killing someone.

From watching TV I can tell you they've failed miserably. Congratulations.
Well generally non Christians are not bound by the Bible. If you don't believe then it's kind of pointless to worry about it.
