    How about not letting them patent living things?

    I think that would be enough. A farmer should be able to save seed, or benefit from cross pollination. In the later case I can't even think of a reasonable argument against it. If you don't want to give away your plants genetic material then grow it indoors.

    I think GM foods are fine, and even useful, but I don't think you should be able to make your neighbors responsible for material you are spreading freely.

    Not true, internet in the UK blocks pirate bay and other websites that the government doesn't like. Such as child porn and the like.

    If we should even have such a completely free internet is a whole other kettle of fish.

    How big is your screen and what tech does it use?
    On my Galaxy Nexus the screen is always the top power user, after that comes the phone idle and cell standby.

    What do you consider using it heavily? My bet is even that use might be a lot lower than some.

    Sure, when they know what they are talking about.

    Someone who knew what they were talking about stated a fact, WP7, ActiveSync and self signed certs are a painful combination. Then this guy claimed WP7 and ActiveSync work fine together. He knew he should not have been making such a claim since he did not even know what self signed certs were but he still bothered to make it.

  5. Compare it to the US meals she also shows. Those seem to be pretty terrible.

    I was. I was trying to say what can I, h4rr4r use right now.

    VS is not one of my options. I could use my OSX machine to code for Android or iOS. You might find you can only code for Android and WP. My main point being the android route seems smarter.

    Of course MS will never let anything come in conflict with their desktop monopoly. They will sacrifice everything else first.

    In CS they really sucked since all weapons could shoot through some amount of walls and the AWP could shoot through the whole level. So you would spawn and suddenly get sniped all the way from the enemy spawn, even though there were many walls in between.

    I guess I am just too used to the Free software world. I can write software for any of it on any of my machines. Way less painful for me.

    I would not since they are cheap, but I see no reason not too.

    I know who I am, I do not need someone else to verify that for me. Commercial certificates are only really needed when you need to convince someone else you are who you claim to be.

    So what you are saying then is my Macbook air cannot run it? I did not mean could the hardware be forced to do so, but in its current state.

    I don't need to, I have an OSX machine. I don't have any windows computers.

    I don't work on windows, kiddo. I might be angry if I had to deal with that garbage software though.

    So there is another thing I have taught you today. Does your company have a training budget I can get a check from?

    Why?

    I have a 4" screen that is 1280x720. SSH works great on it. SSH tolerates even 1X connections quite well and lets me get my work done without having to go back to my car for my laptop when I am out and about.

    If you knew what a self signed cert was you would know why you are wrong.

    For activesync to be secure you need to use SSL. This requires either a certificate you buy or one you sign yourself. Windows phone makes your life very painful if you chose to sign your own certificate.

    In the future when you do not know what someone is talking about it might be best not to try to argue against their point unless you are sure it does not refute your argument. In this case it pretty much kills your claims.

    How about you backup those claims with something. What exactly do you not need an app for on WP that iOS and Android need apps for?

    You might think they have the best dev environment, I would call it the worst. I can't use the normal dev environment on for it on any computer I own. Not on my macbook air nor any of my linux boxes.

    Since we know it does not there are lots of things that it does not do out of the box, that are not toy type uses.

    Bullshit. Android phones beat that little game and then MS claimed they did not. The dude ended up getting a free laptop.
