Reflection, as found in.NET allows you to write extremely generic yet powerful code easily. For example, I have used it to write a method that can write any class (or list thereof) to a CSV file of any format by passing in a field-to-value map object along with the object data you want to store. The beauty of this is that you can store the format of the file externally and make changes to it without having to rewrite the code. The only time you would need code changes was if you needed additional properties added to the class you want to write out.
So you have a bunch of brits complaining about the iPhone 3G not being fast on their slow networks? The retina display, when held at a normal viewing distance by the average person has a pixel density that makes it appear as those there are no pixels composing the glyph of a font. That is a statement of fact.
I'm not going to bother to follow the rest of your links sorry.
If someone is surprised Humans are willing to cheat, rip off, etc to get ahead... well you haven't really been paying attention.
Fixed that for you.
I wouldn't want people to unfairly categorize you as a racist moron.
Korean is an ethnicity and a culture. It is not a separate "race". I don't think anyone mentioned a race anywhere. Is it not fair to comment on attitudes of certain cultures when it comes to honesty? Sure, it is stereotyping but, again, it is about a "culture" rather than a "race".
Saying someone has to be mentally ill in order to be effected by motion sickness is like saying a person needs to have physical issues in order to get into an auto accident. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense, whatsoever.
Get off your high horse and read the article.
No, I'm saying that anyone who becomes nauseous from animations from opening or switching apps on a "phone" has to be using their phone for an abnormal amount of time and switching apps often which some would define as a mental disorder much like compulsive gambling, alcoholism and drug abuse.
I actually read the article but nowhere in there is any mention of the duration of use. I am assuming that they are spending way too much time using them and possibly using their phones on a train or other form of vehicle which can make even healthy people sick with or without transition animations.
If you are reading stationary text for a long period of time while in the back of a car, you will likely start to feel nauseous from motion sickness regardless of whether it is printed on on a screen.
He shoots you fifteen times. You die.
Would you like to play again? Y/N
With a gun that might or might not exist? I only saw mention of a knife. How is this guy going to shoot anyone if he is blind, has a gushing wound from his throat ripped open or with a perforated ball sack assuming he even has one? Thieves are generally cowards and only prey on the weak.
Chances are that the thief will run if you appear too crazy to risk messing with. Don't put out the scent of fear and weakness and nobody will touch you.
If the thing that he really objects to here is the children having no choice, then why is it ok for heterosexual couples to adopt?
Why? Because a heterosexual "COUPLE", by definition has a man and a woman so the child will be exposed to both male and female role models in the home. It is generally accepted that the most well adjusted children come from a loving family where there is a mother and a father in the home. Children from single mother or single father families tend to have some issues. For example, a girl who is raised by a single father will not have a female to model herself after and visa versa.
I'm sorry if you are offended by "science" and "facts".
Why is it ok for them to give birth to children who have no choice about it, for that matter?
What are you trying to tell us here? Do you resent your parents for having you? What is up with your antagonism towards heterosexuals? Why do you hate them so much? Why do you hate the traditional family? Have you considered seeking out a therapist to work out your issues? Were you from a single parent home?
That only affects parallax in the home screen and very few other types of "motion" in the UI. It does nothing to stop the "zoom" effects that happen when you wake the device start an app, or do anything that was fine in iOS 6 but annoying now even if you don't have this medical condition because it makes you wait a second all over the place for the stupid animation to complete.
Your boss wanted me to tell you to put down your f'ing phone and get back to work you lazy bum. Seriously to get "sick", you would already have to be so mentally ill that you are spending the majority of your waking moments on your phone switching apps. Either get a job or do the job you already have.
Even if you have a "disorder", how can a second long transition into an app make you sick? How long are these people using their phones and why are they constantly switching apps?
Who are these people? Are they trust fund babies? Do they not work for a living? Do they not have classes?
Put down the phone and do your work and/or course work. It might be that your body is trying to tell you something. You are an addict and you need to go outside and interact with regular people instead of wasting your life on Facebook and/or twitter. Seriously, get a life.
Well, "tolerance" which includes saying that people shouldn't be allowed to adopt kids isn't particularly tolerant, and is very bad for society as a whole. We all suffer from kids not getting good homes, and there are more kids needing adoption than there are adoptive families. Preventing gay people from adopting would be bad for everyone, so opposing gay couples adopting is hostile to everyone.
I think you need to buy an f'ing dictionary. Tolerance != agreeing with everyone. Tolerance means that you agree that everyone has a right to their opinion even if you disagree with them. You are exhibiting intolerance. You do not tolerate anyone with an opinion that differs from your own. You have a right to your opinion and your ridiculous definition of tolerance wrong though it may be. You see, I am tolerating your ignorance the definition of terms and your misguided opinions.
I am saying that you are wrong about what those terms mean but I'm not going to try to stop you from continuing to display your ignorance.
What is bad for society is your insistence on silencing those who think differently. That is what the nazis tried to do.
You still think children are property. They are not property. Stop assuming that the desires of adults to adopt are more important than the long term mental health of the child. Seriously, stop being so bloody politically correct.
Get a dog if you need a dependent. Children should not be subjected to social experiments just to satisfy the emotional needs of needy adults.
He is, however, against adoption by gay parents (because it involves a person who has no choice in the matter).
That prompts the question, why isn't he against adoption by heterosexual parents?
WTF? Do you see children as chattel? Do you think children should be bought and sold to anyone with the money to pay? You can be as gay as you want to be but don't assume that anyone has an absolute right to adopt and raise a child.
The child should be placed the the best environment possible for the "CHILD". Their needs must come first, not yours.
I'd agree with that. I do not however agree with regulations telling people how to raise their kids.
Listen buddy, your children are not your property. They are human beings and being a parent does not give you the right to abuse your kids. I consider exposing young kids to be child abuse regardless of whether it is sexual or violent content. Your rights end when your actions hurt your children and/or society. Any idiot can knock up their wife/girlfriend but not everyone has what it takes to be a father. If you think your "right" to choose what to expose your kids to is more important than having a proper home life then you don't deserve to have kids. Your job as a parent is to raise them and protect them. Don't fuck it up or society will fire you from that job.
No, the world should get back to encouraging PARENTS to make decisions on how to raise their children and assume responsibility for such, not encouraging more regulation and passing the responsibility off to some regulatory authority staffed by self important do-gooders who think they are somehow entitled to push their values on others.
Uh, what about the rest of us in the auditorium? Why should we have to put up with the screaming kids when we paid of a ticket to see an adult movie? If you want to screw up your kids by showing an inappropriate film to your kids, create your own country so that I don't have to pay for their therapy or incarceration later on in life. Seriously, parents like that should be charged with child abuse.
Your "freedom" ends when it starts to impinge on the rights of others.
Shit and mind your own god damn business. If you dont like it fine dont buy the shit for your kids but dont tell others what the fuck to do.
If you like letting them play the silly game instead of being shot up in the hood fine play the damn thing.
If you need a rating on a fucking game perhaps you should not buy a console, but then you probably never had one. just get off on telling others what the fuck to do.
Don't make your children into a burden for tax payers in the future and nobody will care about your business. Maybe the law should automatically seize all assets of shitty parents with convicted criminals as children. If you want freedom to screw up, be prepared to pay through the nose.
It's WELL within the parent's rights to ignore ratings, be unaware of them, or simply not to care about the ratings.
Who cares? Mind your own business! It's not your job to police the morality of others, we have plenty of laws to take care of that.
How is it that so many people have nothing to worry about in their own house that they have to start telling me how I should live in mine? I'm getting sick of it!
If you don't want to live by societies rules then stop living in society and enjoying the services it provides. Go live on an island away from civilization.
Listen, if I have to pay taxes for their future therapy or incarceration from the result of bad parenting then I have a right to step in and prevent my tax dollars being wasted on them.
It becomes my business as soon as it affects society and costs tax payers a lot of money in the future.
I was recently at a showing of Riddick which is an R rated movie in the states and 18-A in Canada and there were some idiotic parents there with their preteen children in tow. A rating of 18A should mean nobody can take anyone under 13 to see the movie in a theater regardless of whether the parent is present or not.
That would be in the best interest of protecting children and allowing adults to enjoy the movie without screaming/crying kids in the same auditorium.
Thief: Give me your iPhone and wallet or I will shoot you
Guy: Here take it all and leave me alone
Thief: Shit! this is the one with fingerprint lock. Takes out his knife and says "Why so Serious?"
Guy: Grows a pair, takes out serrated edge of house keys, rips thief's jugular a new one or jabs key into thief's eyes or stabs thief in the ballsack and says, "Why so serious?".
>> it could quiet some of the naysayers who have spent the past several months suggesting that Apple's best years are behind it
Not me. I'd love to know who is still buying Apple devices when Android gizmos do pretty much the same thing for a fraction of the cost.
They do pretty much the same? Have you ever tried using no-name detergent or some other value brand? Quite often, the "cheaper" brand is cheaper for a reason and you will end up either using more to get the same effect or you end up with dirtier clothes.
While both an Android and iPhone can make and receive calls, send and receive texts and other things, there are some things that simply work better on iPhones. There are also some killer games and apps that simply are not available on Android regardless of what handset you have.
If you are going to spend money on a smartphone plan with data, you might as well get the best experience possible, otherwise you should just get a dumb phone instead for calls and texting and save yourself some money on not having a data plan.
BSD think of the freedom of the distributor, the GPL thinks of the freedom of the user. I see myself as a user, you see yourself as a proprietary distributor.
FFS, I have had it with the "USER" bullshit. Real end users "use" the system and care more about usability than access to the source code. Most of them would not know how to write any code let alone audit it. Stop confusing yourself, an interested third party, with end users. You might also be a user but not all users are interested third parties with coding skills.
The end user's "freedom" is actually limited when nerds argue over licensing terms and are unable to include some software because of it. I am a developer and a user and I find BSD for be free enough. It offers me the choice of proprietary implementation of a BSD project's code, open source BSD implementations and the ability to create my own proprietary implementation for me and my friends without having to hire a lawyer. I can also choose to contribute some or all of my modifications back to the community if I so choose. That is true freedom. The GPL is actually a form of slavery that you agree to enter into in order be able to modify the code. I would rather "pay" money and keep my freedom thank you very much. The price that the GPL imposes is too high a price.

Zombies? No. Twinkies! Harder to find than heroin...
We never lost they in Canada because our were made by Saputo which licensed them from Hostess.
I, for one, always thought 'zombie' a euphemism for bureaucrat.
In the movie "American Carol", the lawyers for the ACLU were zombies.
CSS had a part in that too, ya know.
Do you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Security_Service or Cascading Stylesheets as the latter has nothing to do with encryption or the breaking of it?
