No, it is "a piece of animation software" or "an animation software package." Would you say "a hardware" or "a clothing"? Do you have "an information" ? Check your grammar.
This kind of thinking has killed the entire electronics industry, and is stifling innovation generally.
Why can't I buy an HD Radio/alarm clock for my bedside table? ("Nobody wants one, they use their 'smart' 'phones'," I'm told. So do you get up, open your eyes, so you can see the silly touch-screen to run things -- instead of having red LEDs (don't kill your night vision), a normal button for SNOOZE and a volume knob?) Why can't I replace my 10-year old DVR with another one that works with antenna broadcast? Same answer. Why do people use things like Instagram that don't even let you upload a picture from a normal PC? Same answer.
Lazy thinking like this is moving everything into the walled gardens of the megacompanies with oversight of the three-letter agencies, and sucking what little life remains in the do-it-yourself makerspace.
First off, these gadgets are not telephones, they are computers: Computers you are not permitted to control. Making it impossible to understand anything that is going on, is part of the toy interface designed to prevent you from even attempting to be anything but a pawn, a slave to this Telescreen, this panopticon, this Simon Legree in a pretty, slick case. Why would anyone want such a gadget, much less pay for one? I hate to say it but Stallman was right.
On the Interstate Highway 405 "freeway" where "freeway" is a Californianism for expressway? So, that would be the part of I-405 which is a limited access highway, just as "on the Main Street boulevard" would be on the part of Main Street which is a 4-lane divided street -- but because I-405 is an Interstate Highway, that's all of it, so what do you mean? Surely you simply mean "on I-405." (Brought to you by your local grammarian. Practice safe conjugation!)
One software, two softwares, right? One hardware, two hardwares. One information, two informations. One firmware, two firmwares. Right? And when you correct someone ("it is one PIECE of software, or one PIECE of firmware"), the response is "English is a changing language" NO. Pardon me whilst I go eat some toasts.
Things at Thunderbird have moved very slowly. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s... dates to June 2001 and there is still no write access to LDAP.
<rant> You really would think that it should be simple to publish existing contact lists (customer lists from a database, personal address books, and such) as LDAP - it's "lightweight" right? - but there is practically no documentation or existing code that shows how to write an LDAP server. It would be nice if Thunderbird at least could have a contacts API with their crufty internal format as a replaceable option.</rant>
Only mobile "apps" are permitted? Really? Why does it feel like we are headed toward outlawing running real "programs" on your own self-controlled computer? Clearly software not approved by Google or Microsoft or Apple is a national security risk. Jailbreaking a toy computer to run un-approved programs, much less write your own, will be a crime. The dumbing-down of the proletariat will be complete when everyone carries a toy computer, also known as a telescreen, that can't be turned off, oh wait, we already have that. How did we let this happen?
I should like to informate you, if you care to be orientated, that we increasingly hear more about malwares, softwares, firmwares, and hardwares. I recommend listening to some musics.
No worries, you can now write an entire essay using nothing but emoticons! Just wait until next year: the new technology will permit only caveman-speak. Ignorance is wisdom, tovarisch!
1.Twitter is a walled garden, and not unlike Facebook or Instagram, don't expect them to yield control of the medium.
2. #@$@ can't this @#$#$# author @+#~~& speak @#$#@# two @#$@#$ sentences #@$#@ without @#$#$ using #@$@# profanity? Good grief. Spare us the sailor talk, or don't people know how to talk without swearing anymore?
No birthday cakes, no cherry pies, no fresh baked bread, no roast pork with caramelized potatoes, no steaks, no cauliflower broccoli cheese casserole, not even any homemade French onion soup?
I shudder to think what Julia Child would say to that.
Except the credit card is issued by the bank, can be revoked by the bank, is processed through the bank, and is probably linked to a bank account. I'm scared of snakes, I'm going to jump into the pit of vipers!

Except for climate science, where any question of the alleged "Consensus" is heresy suitable for burning at the stake.

it is all George Bush's fault. right?

It sure is tough to keep one running. Finding ribbons is tough but have you tried locating daisywheels lately?
how's that hope and change working out for ya? Obama sounds an awful lot like a CIA shill here. Or is this Bush's fault too?

Don't tell that to the climate alarmists.
How exactly can someone like me, without a "device," use these to make a phone call? Like to 9-1-1 in an emergency?
we work with or support others who cannot be forced off Windows
If you help perpetuate such environments, you are being an Enabler in an abusive relationship. Stop doing that.

I would write a comment, but it would be a review of a review of a reviewer. If this confuses you, perhaps you should review.
More time to spend playing Qatar Hero.
What delayed the May release until October?
So far we're on the third sprint and we have a desk in a steel frame with a planter on top and a hot-dog cart to the side.

Can someone please write a browser plugin that replaces "smart" with "Big Brother" ?
Never could figure how a "techie" radio host that nobody has ever seen, could be "hot."
