Thank you. I actually have to agree with you, INI files offer no consistent syntax, format or location. But I definitely found comfort in the fact that I could just open them with edit and go to town.
Parents are also a handicap if they feel that their child put in the effort to make the grade, and that they deserve appropriate marks for the effort.
I'm of the opinion that schools need to maximize the number of C students, not A students. If you push the bell curve of scores toward the middle, then you are challenging the majority of the students, and not neglecting the people who should be at the high end of the curve. People need to stop thinking of them as an statements of worth, and start thinking of them as an evaluation of challenge. Winning all the time does not lead to success. Even video game designers know that.
(I would probably be somewhere in middle of that curve, honestly)
A faster way to balance the budget and promote small government would be to prune back social security and national healthcare (including Medicare and Medicaid). Throw in a reduction in defense spending and you could easily redirect 30% of the budget toward paying off our debt.
Political suicide, true, but probably the right long term solution. We're screwed, as far as I can tell.
I'm not sick of it and am, in fact, still happy with it save for the fact that it's taken enough wear and tear to be replaceable. My previous phones did not make it to the two year mark without driving me up a wall.
I actually look at it like I do many product cycles: the first version has problems, the second has fewer. If you look at the issues listed on Wikipedia between the 3G and 3GS, two were dealt with between revisions.
I imagine the 4S also has fewer problems than the 4, on top of improvements overall.
I joined the iPhone cult during the 3GS cycle, so upgrading to a 4S seems reasonable to me. I'm not looking for the shiniest or the newest or best. I'm looking for a phone that I won't be sick of in 2 years time.
There are actually apps that demonstrate this, too.

For an Apple fanboy to submit this, they would have to care about it. To them, all that exists is the iPhone, and they do not deign to recognize any other handset.
It's ironic that they're using YouTube, a Google service, to perpetrate this masterpiece on civilization.
It really does instigate a wash of emotions, and it amazes me that anyone can discern individual feelings out of watching it. To quote the awesomest six year old I know, it was "awkweird".
I haven't even finished replacing all of the VHS tapes I own with DVD. The VHS tapes still work. What makes them think I want to be updating from two different working formats, simultaneously? To a format that is substantially compromised with DRM, and that they'll want me to upgrade from in about five to ten years?

It's okay. I only read the headline anyway.
I just got my invite the other day. I've chosen to ignore it.
As far as I'm concerned, Diaspora is DOA.

No, I hadn't. I'll look into it next time I get to play with Mac OS X.
Okay, I'm not getting it. How did MS-DOS lead to a registry? I thought that was a torment that came with Windows.
I actually think GoboLinux had it down pretty well. I think I liked the filesystem as package manager concept most.
Unfortunately it hasn't updated since the last time I tried it.
If they did that, it wouldn't be beta enough.
Really, I love gmail, but I'm definitely looking for good alternatives for a number of Google services.

Up until now, I thought I was the only person who recognized that tarmac is not the new chlorophyll.
Thank you.
How would it kill 100's of thousands of jobs?
I like your suggestions.

The only product listed that I have any experience with is the hockey puck mouse, and I'm glad I didn't own it.
Apparently, Apple realized their mistakes and moved on.
Simple. It's been more than two years

Make sense? I thought so.

Truly, you offer a compelling reason for converting away from Apple.
Thank you. I shall go turn in my mighty Apple device, and acquire a baked potato.

Please.

To them, there can be no iPhone killer.

At least it's _not blinking_.
That's fine. Eventually, all the people who believe it will "go to heaven", and you'll be left with a sane population. Albeit slightly smaller.
Oh, wait, that would kill two birds with one stone.
If they don't appreciate the importance of their physical life enough to live until the end of it, then who is going to force them to appreciate it?
Hopefully, they'll figure it out before they cook themselves. Or someone will find a way to help them. A choice, however misguided, is still a choice.
Sounds like people have acclimated to Microsoft retail releases being more like public betas.
If Google made non-business users pay for Apps, would people be more tolerant of "beta testing"?

This is postponing the problem until some future generation has to fix not only the original problem, but also the problem created by this "fix".
I'd hate to be alive for that, and I have a feeling I will be. We're suckers.
