But, don't be in any hurry to violence. Use the four boxes in defense of liberty in the order established. At this point, Ghandi achieves more than Patrick Henry. Don't provide a convenient excuse for the government to declare martial law and roll out the Nat. Guard.
But if we are finally forced to the last box, don't forget ol' Pat.
"Ballot" was rendered inert as soon as we adopted the two-party, first-past-the-post system.
"Soap" stop being useful with the incestuous relationship between Corporates and Government.
So tell me how this story isn't pretty compelling evidence that "Jury" is FUBAR, too?
GNOME3 turned that stupid up to eleven though, putting it a whole different category. It is explicitly declared it OK if any/all existing users leave, a pure "my way to the highway" deal
This seems to be contagious, too. The GIMP team appears to have adopted the same attitude. They seem to be laboring under the delusion that they're going to take on Photoshop for the "pro graphic developer" userbase. It would be amusing if it didn't make 2.8 an unusable pile of crap (and no, trolls. I have no problem with the single/multiple document interface, since it's an option.)
Oh it long, long predates the 80s. You need to go to the D&D inspiration material. Not so much of it in LOTR (49%) but a whole honking lot of it in the old pulp serials (the other 49%).
The last 2% has something to do with derping around with dice or something.;)
with all due respect, a simple design is tough to come up with, but easy to steal. Gene Roddenberry has every right to defend the product line he surely agonized to invent and promote. now Apple and others are reaping what someone else sown
Fixed that for you. For fuck's sake, the "flat, rounded rectangle" thing predates Apple Computer by like, a decade at least.
(Yeah, Gene probably wasn't the first either, but I think the point is clear.)
Are there people other than Christians who believe violence is bad, even in self defense?
Unfortunately, yes.
In my experience, they've tended towards the intersection of female, self-proclaimed liberal, and academic, like the one I've been dating for the better part of a decade.
Not sure if it's "ironic," or just amusing, that listening to her "reasoning" on the subject always makes me reflect on just how badly she needs a good Gibbs-slap.
The biggest advantage of the Transformer is that it's available NOW. All of my other "potentials" are still frigging vaporware, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't getting a little irritating (I want a 10" tablet).
The Nexus has the advantage of price and being open google. And the Galaxy Note 10.1 is likely to be the most expensive but is supposed to have Wacom-licensed pen tech.
I see you when you're sleeping, I know when you're awake. I know if you've been bad or good, and I know what you did to the poor sheep I brought you last year.
Wow, nice. I'll add that to the short-list for my upcoming buy (with the Nexus 10 and the Transformer TF300). I think I can deal with the last-gen processor, for 2GB of ram and a real stylus. Thanks! That's the kind of pointer I've been hoping for.
Is the pointy stylus actually like "pencil-pointy" or is it just pointier than the aforementioned "fat marshmallow-on-a-stick," since I'm really looking forward something I can use for sketching, and would probably be willing to sacrifice the power and extra dough for it.
Shoving a 4" phone in my pocket isn't too bad *until* I start doing things like hiking, biking, or anything that is going to require a great deal of hip bending
Fair enough. I don't tend to do those sort of things unless I'm down-leveling to network-grunt (happens more often than I'd like). Could be why I'm "not a small man.":)
These fancy new inventions called "front pockets." They're kind of like the "back pocket" you mentioned, but they're in the front, or rather, offset toward the sides of the leg, so that they don't exist between the chair and your posterior.
I hear Apple is trying to patent the idea, though.
How many smartphones with modern features, modern specs, and popular OS can you name that are compact enough to comforably fit in most people's pockets?
I think that part may be overstating things a bit. Admittedly, I'm not a small man, but if I can fit a Nook Color with cover in my pocket, then I can't help but think someone complaining about a 4" phone in their pocket may be playing "princess and the pea" just a little.
To date that has been the most frustrating part of the whole touch revolution for me: the fact that we had to trade off precision and usability in cold weather for, basically, multi-touch capabilities. I don't have a Note, because they came out after I 'settled' for the S2X (which I do love, btw, just can't use it for scribbles or sketches), but once I'm ready to move on, it'll be a stylus-capable interface or nothing.
So much this... Do you know if there are any good stylus-capable tablets out there? I've looked but can't find anything promising, just the odd chinese knock-off, and the iPad and their fat, spongy, pencil-eraser type styluses (styli? w/e) can fuck right off.
(Off-Topic, I know. Just give me a chance to get an answer before you mod me to hell).
Does anyone have any recent information about the Nexus 10 (or whatever it's going to be called)? I'm trying to decide whether to wait for it or not, but if it's just going to be forever vaporware, I'll break down and blow the extra $100 on a Transformer TF300, but I'd rather have the unlocked hardware if given the choice.
Wordpress isn't the same thing. In that case, all the code is already done and the text in question is stored in a database of some sort. That's not what I mean here.
I'm talking about things like Frontpage, Dreamweaver, "Jack Mehoff's Easy Web Page Maker Lite(TM)," and, of course (and this one should be punishable by a slow, agonizing death) Word's "Export to/Save As HTML."
In the case of Dreamweaver you can almost expect it, since they're throwing vendor lock-in at you, albeit subtly (You CAN edit those files in an actual editor, provided you roll a successfull WILL save vs. mindcrash), but the lot of them produce some of the most fucked up markup I've ever had the misfortune of inheriting.
I can write HTML and CSS by hand entirely too, but for most people that's really not a good plan.
Wow, could you have possibly chosen a WORSE example for your comparison? WYSIWYG html editors might be fine... no, they're still not... might be passable for making your dog's tumblr page or something, but woe betide the poor bastard who has to deal with it if you're dumb enough to use it for anything "serious."
Make a different genre of game first, that might actually sell on PC. Or make the game on one of the more accessible platforms (Wii store, XBLA, iPad, Android, etc...)? I don't know, nor have I ever really cared honestly. With the big-three growing ever more abusive, I decided a long time ago that this generation (Wii/360) was my last as a console customer, so I care even less now. If the game's not made for PC, I won't be playing it.

And nothing of value was lost.

Ashley's armor from ME1 always reminded me of the princess' from the old Voltron cartoon...
Irrelevant. I'm not saying he/his estate should have sued apple. I'm saying their claims of "design innovation" are a steaming pile of bullshit.

Not a chance.
This thing would have been golden with an SD slot.
Crap, no SD slot? Then I guess it's not too rational to hope for one on the Nexus 10.
Goddamn it. So much for waiting for that one... so it's either the TF300 or wait for the Galaxy Note 10.1 now...
probably to overcome the "outlaw redneck" image that comes to mind
Funny enough, it never did, for me, until just now. Kind of harkens back to the old literary "Southern Gentleman" in a rather good way.
Still can't drink the stuff with my ulcer, but props where props are deserved.
Nope, jeans, but I'm not THAT large. I can still fly without buying two seats. ;) I do prefer baggy jeans though.
Wow, nice. I'll add that to the short-list for my upcoming buy (with the Nexus 10 and the Transformer TF300). I think I can deal with the last-gen processor, for 2GB of ram and a real stylus. Thanks! That's the kind of pointer I've been hoping for.

I'm sure Mrs. Palm of the seamstress' guild would not hold with that sort of thing. They're a traditional guild, after all!
