people complain about sound quality of podcasts downloaded with my plugin, so I guess could see the use of it. I can't hear the difference, but I guess if you start with sources meant for 24-bit...
after the last two bubbles venture capitalists paid congress to enact all sorts of laws protecting them from themselves. You have to show the money is going to the business for one, and there's a ton of rules about how capital can be invested. Plus the world economy (US especially) it too top heavy. All the money's held by the top 1%, and like I said, they've been burned twice and don't have any incentive to get burned again...
BP will keep any compensation claims in court until a more favorable (READ: Republican) administration is in office to sweep the whole thing away (note I said away, it's already been swept under the rug, or the ocean as it were). If you don't like it, stop voting Republican. Jeez, they've come out & publicly said they want to dismantle the EPA...
I was a bit perplexed when I heard they were bothering with the WBC, and figured it was somebody's publicity stunt. There are much better targets in the world than a bunch of loons and their opportunist leader...
It's not about learning, it's about training kids to be profitable worker bees. High attendance rates in school train them to come to work on time every day. When company's can count on 100% attendance they can hire less employees because they don't have to worry about covering shifts.
"I don't think Fox News ever claims its commentary shows as news"
No, but they do make it a point to seamlessly shift from cometary to news and back again in a way that makes it difficult to tell which is which if you lack strong critical thinking skills. They got sued for the practice and won by arguing they weren't a News network, they were an entertainment network. I'd tell you to google it, but well... you know.
For what it's worth, Flash is open. I wrote a few simple apps in raw flex, and some much more complex ones with Open Laszlo. True, Adobe opened it up in a desperate (and largely successful) bid to survive Silverlight. The openness of Flash made it possible for me to write this, so all and all I can't complain. Not as a developer anyway.
Because their minds are not fully developed, and they don't have the same reasoning abilities as adults. In war torn African countries children make the best shock troops. They don't understand death & pain yet, so they're not afraid of either.
Please go to google and type "Define:homework" without the qoutes. Also, please review my post. I said 'My kid'. She's in grade school.
Sorry to be harsh, but these are the kind of arguments I hear all the time to deny access to education resources to poor kids. I'm just getting really tired of it...
This seems pretty critical. I don't know how my kid would do their homework without the Internet. And don't say, "Go to the library". That's fine if you can spend 4 hours researching, but the teacher's assignments are built around the idea that you've got a text book with all the answers in one chapter...
are allowing this. It wouldn't be hard at all to put this down with a modern military (which Egypt more or less has). Maybe there's just be too much attention from the rest of the world & they're afraid of being 'liberated' by the US.
Iran was on the verge of that, but they got lucky and Micheal Jackson died. The distraction was enough for them to go back to oppressing their people, but unless the Pope buys it I don't think there's anyone else in the world now important enough to distract the entire planet at once.
these games were Maddon grade shovelware. Same graphics with minor updates & new songs. If I had to guess, the RIAA wanted too big a piece of the pie and the margins got too slim for Activision...
of investing money? This country's rail system is built around the idea that People who Matter take a plane or drive. $4+/gallon gas might start changing that though...
Did I say anything about Democrat or Republican? I was being deliberately party neutral. The point was Unions are a good thing, and unless you inherited lots of money you owe everything you have to them.
Here. Took 5 seconds on google. It was a pretty famous story. Why is it when right wing people see something they don't like they're first and only response is to deny it? Not trying to troll, I'm dead serious. My next door neighbor (who's since lost her house due to an abusive ARM loan they promised she could refinance, yeah right), is hard core right wing conservative & has used socialized medicine to keep herself (open heart surgery) and her children alive. If you ask her about that she just kinda wharrgarbl something about patriotism.
Nintendo makes money off the hardware, unlike Sony. Also, their games hold a high value for a long time. Super Mario Kart sells for $35 and it's 6 years old. As it stands they can sell a $2 iPhone game for 20 times the price, they want to keep that going.
if you're seen drinking a competitors beer. Plus there's been several stories of people fired for political bumper stickers because the company owner didn't agree (it's always right wing bosses firing left wings employees too...).
I'm surprised this woman could fight. Looks like she won because of Union laws. Once again, yay for Unions.
Yeah, but that's just the cost to you. There's a much larger societal cost to getting an iPhone to you. You're just not seeing that cost because it's heavily subsidized by your monthly bill from AT&T, plus reduced by cheap Chinese labor with no environmental regulations. There was just a story about Chinese business men not bringing factories to the US because, although they'd save a bundle on shipping, the cost of meeting our environmental regulations was too high. Plus there are stories of the Chinese not having enough water to cook & clean because so much is used in manufacturing electronics. Hell, Alaska is sending fresh water to China in oil tankers, kind of a scary thought since I like drinking water and I don't want to compete with 3 billion Chinese for it...
Anyway, sorry to ramble, but there are a lot of costs and consequences to an iPhone that we don't take into account.
Yeah, but, is the purpose of Christianity to keep a large faith going? After all, I'm talking principle here rather than practicality. And wanting the iPhone would be envy, but I was talking about the feeling of superiority one gets by having the latest and greatest phone...
isn't an iPhone kinda incompatible with your religion? It's a large, unnecessary expenditure of money and resources when there are millions of poor. Plus it's a status symbol, and I'm pretty sure pride is a sin (correct me if I'm wrong, not a Catholic)...
It's like the guy in the $80,000 SUV with Jesus on his license plate. I think he's missing the point...
when companies did this stuff and didn't tell us? When XP hit those upgrade installs were blowing up because the big manufactures stuck bad RAM into Win98 boxes knowing it would never be used (Windows 98 won't used RAM past 256M unless you hack the registry, it'll use the page file instead). Well, the XP install copies the whole disk into RAM before copying it out to disk, so BOOM, there goes your XP install. Usually couldn't recover.
At any rate, this is just great. I'm sure the lower end manufactures will be just pleased as punch to make sure those broken ports don't get used. You know, if it made it into production it must work just well enough to blame the problems on the OS when you call for a warranty swap.

StrongBad runs just fine on a Compy 386. Well, I guess it does run better in color on an $800 Compé.
