I'd like to rephrase my last sentence as it can be misinterpreted. When I say that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, I mean that the difference between 31 and 35% isn't much, and it would reflect on the charts if the scale was chosen right. Choosing to use such a zoomed scale increases the perception of the change over the years. If you look at it quickly, you may think that people have almost doubled over the years...
No one seems to comment on the way they represent the data in the bar charts. If you look at the bars, there seems to be a real big change year after year, as the commenter says. But if you look at the numbers, they tell a different story. How does a change from 31% to 35% become a huge improvement ? People don't learn to read charts, and don't learn to make them. If they showed the three bars on a scale from 0 to 100%, then you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, or very slightly.
The OS should be doing the scheduling, and you should be able to keep doing this without bothering about the IO details... See I won't go into flamebait mode and say that with xxx I don't have to worry about all that:p

I think it's even emptier than this. Nothing happened, besides maybe their pasts. As in a dream, anything was possible, darma, food droping from the sky, the island at the bottom of the sea, or not, and back etc Like a very long acid trip, coming and going. The only kind of continuity we experienced while watching was so that the public wouldn't feel alienated and quit. A bit like a ventriloquist on the radio. We've been fooled, and explicitely too !
Don't try to think about faraday or desmond or anyone, they're juste there because they are, or not, there is no underlying reason.
And it could be even worse, I believe that they modified their plotline as they went along, according to what the blogs said. Not exactly, but WE inspired them, like that silly game you can play at school or summer camp.
Think about it, with such an ending, they didn't give a crap about consistency ! (ok, maybe on details...)
only the authors said many times in public, at comicon, during interviews that there WOULD be scientific explainations, that it would add up. They sure found a way to add things up : 0 + 0 * 0 = 0 nothing happened, ever. Nothing to prove, or explain. (yeah, I'm pissed off)

see, that's the beauty of the stupidity of the whole thing, nothing ever really existed or happened, it's all made up, like a dream, so there is NO explanation whatsoever to anything !
boy I hate them (and I watched every single episode with intensity)
Exactly. They said it wasn't either a purgatory, or a dream, or that they weren't dead. We then expected much more, even though everyone thought "they must be in purgatory", or "they must be dead" etc
I hate when people treat me like I'm an idiot. I hope people boycott the futur shows they do. And I understand why they don't want to appear in public once the show ended, they're afraid to get maimed by people who were treated and laughed at for such a long time (myself included).
just to add some pedantry to your joke code doesn't mean cypher, it just means that it's a set of rules as to how you're supposed to write things (in this case). (I tried not to use codify in my definition)...
Well, if you buy the access to the sdk (I know, it's not free), you can still do ANYTHING you want with the ipad. You don't have to go through the app store in order to write you own programs. You can distribute up to 100 people for free, no app store either. You could distribute the source code to even more people who could compile it and upload it to their ipad/pod with the sdk. So even though apps are controled by apple when you want to distribute them commercially, you can still do what you damn what with it yourself.
