Some still do. It's just the way it is. I have fixed things in a rush and came up with the best solution for then and in the future.
There are very few problems that are really hard to fix once you have fixed the problem of not wanting to get out of bed and go to work. After that it's all easy stuff.
I'm not getting this either. It don't look too hard for a developer to me. If you are a user, what could be easier? With Gmail you now have drag and drop to attach a file with HTML5 support. There is getting to be developers doing all kinds of cool stuff with the tools provided and they have anything you could want. They change stuff really fast but that's not really a complaint.
Couch, oh a couch. That's the great thing about a PC is that it's multipurpose. Does a Playstation3 run Office? Heck they are great no doubt.
Why can't you put your PC next to your TV? Audio out and HDMI should work fine. Most people I see playing Playstation's are up off the couch jumping around or lying on the floor.
The PC has enough critical mass that they don't need porting from any console. They have plenty of great games. And, now that you have a TV that is almost capable graphics wise 1080p in comparison to a good monitor you can just about interchange those if you want. Nobody will stop you.
Look H.264 has patents on it therefore it is proprietary. H.264 can be run within Flash SFW. The reasons Apple gave for not supporting Flash has nothing at all to do with what they said if so then why is Quicktime such a POS? It has to be an even worse media player than flash or anything else I ever saw but because it's on a shinny Apple then go waste your money and believe all the BS Jobs spouts.
H.264 can be DRM'd. It can run in Flash too. So WTF. Oh and BTW Apple is about the only data phone maker that doesn't support Flash. A lot better than something that fits in my hand. For what exactly? The only thing I can think of is hooking to your TV?
--Jobs made it clear that aside from practical concerns about Flash performance and so forth, the reason Apple is being so hard-line about it is that they don't want to concede control of any important APIs for writing iPhoneOS apps to a third party, because Apple has been burned by similar things in the past. How is that a lame excuse? You might not like it much, but it doesn't seem like a dishonest half-explanation. To me anyways.--
That's because of your being naive. And..that ain't exactly what he said. He's saying they are not open but because they are using H.264 they are WTF. I haven't debated whether it can be DRM'd or not. H.264 is just as closed as Flash.
Again, Jobs makes the concession that iPhone OS users won't be able to play Flash games, but says that there are plenty of other games on the App Store. Get the picture. Also, some are not caving to Apple. Want to watch hulu, we'll I guess now you can't without paying Apple for something that was free.
What Adobe ought to do is take their creative suites off of Apples. They don't make that much from Flash anyhow. Go try to find an alternative for PhotoShop. See how many of you art guys stick with them when you are left without tools. Then Microsoft could take Office off of there too. Then Apple is not even as good as Unbuntu. Of course M$ will go along so they can run down the blue ray patent bandwagon. If W3C puts H.264 into HTML5 as the defacto standard, they are using patented tech to make things more open?
--H.264 is not DRM; DRM is not H.264. Stop talking about things you don't understand.--
You are plain stupid H.264 is a "patented codec" that can be wrapped in you drm of choice. There is nothing free and open about it once and for all.
FairPlay or whatever it will be called is doable with H.264 just the same as anything else fanboy. Just because it might not be being done now doesn't mean they wont but buy whatever you want it's your money. With H.264 from Apple you can only watch that through their stuff. Between that and Flash there is no difference except Apple gets more of your money and maybe has a marginally more stable platform called Quicktime. woooo....

--In what specific way? Why have the the makers of NES and newer consoles closed them to indies?--
Atari was the reason. Flame me for it but we'll a lot of the indie games were crap and it cost Atari dearly. Now a data phone is made to do more than one thing but a game system mostly just plays games. So you can always get the PC if you want indie games but it wont work for systems that only play games. They have to be to a certain level or it makes the console manufacturer look bad. Maybe the same argument can be made for phones but I think they do too much now.
Damn let me answer this. A game system is totally different. Form the NES 8-bit on this has been the case IF you are talking about getting approval. If Apple wants to say that they are making something similar then I'm cool with that but no they say they are trying to open up the web or something. That's BS. If you want that go get a N900. It runs Linux and you can install whatever you want on that phone. With Apple you are stuck with what they say you can have. If that's what you want then buy it.
Also on the Microsoft gaming thing, I think you ought to try PC's out. You can run just about any game or write your own and they wont stop you.
We'll as much as I don't like Apples BS reasons, I have to agree with this. If you don't want it, don't buy it. I think the case for NOT buying Apple is getting stronger every day. BTW I have no choice at all. No AT&T here but lots of Verizon and of course Alltel towers that AT&T now own but will not upgrade to GSM but they run fine on Verizon's CDMA at maximum speed. Go figure?
--Imagine if, along with bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, Microsoft FORBID anyone from running any other browser on their OS at all, and required EVERY app to be approved by Microsoft before it could be allowed to run. Apple's doing EXACTLY THAT.--
Even Microsoft didn't go that far AND as usual there is this double standard reality distortion for anything Apple. Speaking of Adobe, I just sent a JPEG to a printer that uses Apples with PhotoShop and all the rest for Christ sake because they say PDF's created on PC's come out blurry. If anyone understands that please inform me of the reason why considering it was an old open PDF format. That's right, open source.
BS I do know something about H.264/MPEG-4 AVC that Apple is using. Can you say DRM? The real reason is they don't want Flash or anything else that can create apps within apps. If they really believe in the open web thing then let them use Theora which might be slightly technically inferior to H.264 or VC-1. I'm sure they will bring up porn if you use a video format without uncrackable DRM.
Now, Flash can work inside HTML5 but whether you like Flash or not is not the issue but you didn't mention that. Apple is locking their platform up tighter than any other manufacturer and give lame excuses for their real reasons. Some users may prefer this as they have more money than I do to continually buy stuff. Folks this ain't 1977 and Apple is now the one to throw the hammer at. They don't really sell that many phones compared to other manufactures even though they have one that sells well with AT&T only lock-in.
HTML5 reduces the need for proprietary technologies like Flash but it doesn't stop you from using it if you want too. How many BlueRay disks are not proprietary? With H.264 I could pay for a show and then a month later it goes away. Yeah, why should Apple let Adobe make money off of their hardware when they can. Despite HTML5 Flash is going to be here for a while yet.
digital smigital why does that matter so much? Back then when energy was cheap, beaming high powered microwaves didn't seem too far fetched. Wait till we get enough antimatter to properly test this stuff moohhaha!
What if you used a big piston in that chamber. You know like zit pow zit pow zipow zipow zpow zpow zpz zpz zpzpzpzpzpzpzp with the z being the laser and the p being the bang. I know this sounds silly but think about it if you read this. What I'm trying to say is there may yet be a way because 10 times per second seems achievable.
But...with that being said you could probably build 2 breeder reactors for less as you say. I really wish that was what were being done because reprocessing waste is much better than disposing all of it. It's well understood, available now, works, etc. Purer fuel would be better but then you get all of the proliferation arguments. Does anyone really think this will be a problem in the US?
AND...you believe everything in the Wikipedia? This while partly true is not the whole picture. The power output of the sun near the surface is far greater then near it's core. Or..is it the other way around? Think about it. Anyhow, I think we need to examine the burning part of the sun and not just the fuel part. After all the sun uses it's mass to fuse the hydrogen. Here on earth we could probably use H2 & H3 and replace mass with some other force that is easier for us to create.
It still might not work but recent work shows that the magnetic confinement solution might just be a matter of scale. The laser thing might work too if it can be done a bunch of time real fast. It might take upfront bookoo capital but eventually it should work even though it is an exponentially tougher nut to crack. After we perfect that it's on to antimatter. My magic talking monkey says that will occur on 2101 Halloween day.
We'll this is informative. In the last section of the article in your link, Teller writes about make a small explosion a bunch of times like how an ICE works sort of. Actually this was thought about after magnetic confinement. As for 3 football seeming like a lot, it really isn't IMO. So if you can do something like this for a fraction of a second many times per second, you might be on to something.

I also think Facebook is going to be the #1 exploit of 2010. Do you know any good jokes about Facebook?
