I've worked with a number of my clients helping them to filter job applications for technical positions and they frequently reject "over qualified" resumes rather than interview with an eye to longevity and personality. Knowing people who've gotten post-grad degrees of various types just "for fun", I know a number of them aren't going to turn and run for the next job as soon as they can if they find one they enjoy doing. Unfortunately, employers often don't understand that and see a problem instead.
I wish I could believe that were the case for most PhDs. I know quite a few people on the other hand who treat theirs like they've "arrived" and shouldn't be questioned anymore (and obviously failed to absorb the realizations your quote imparts).
I'll bite. You know the playground fist fight is real when exactly?
Exactly. You don't. You could be told its staged, and feel one way, or be told its fake, and feel another. You choose to feel differently about it while the event doesn't change at all.
Its not the nature of the event that changes your reaction, its how you perceive the event.
Hint, despite the humour in your statement, it is me.
Police are public servants. Their job, like the government's, is to make my life better. They exist only because we allow them to.
Try this on for size: if the vast majority of voters didn't want police service, there wouldn't be one. Unfortunately, the vast majority of voters don't like thinking about these edge cases until it happens to them.
Shadow of the Colossus is a great example. I had a hard time finishing the game (as did many other people) because of this.
Its much like reading a good book about a situation that only keeps getting worse and worse. You want to know how it ends, but you feel pain for those involved in the situation, even though its fiction. If fiction didn't elicit emotion, it would be much less profitable.
You might want to have a look at the devices supported by CyanogenMod for example. He doesn't even cover the most devices. There has always been an issue with the ability to run the kernel on a device, often referred to as the Tivo issue. Hardware lock-out measures need to be dealt with elsewhere however, as its quite obvious they shouldn't be dealt with in software Copyright (the GPLv3 aside).
That said, I own multiple devices that came with copies of the Linux kernel that I've patched and reinstalled. Incidentally, improvements or changes to the kernel or other GPL'd software made for these devices doesn't necessarily only apply to those devices, and the visibility of that code can help improve other use cases as well.
I'm with the other poster who purposely played evil/neutral my second time through to try and get the extra content issues opened up. I still 'felt bad' about doing it though.
That's common to Windows trackpads as well. The second tap means 'I'm holding down the button now'. I would love a universal "click and drag" for text selection on Android.
I've always thought that holding down the Ctrl or Alt or whatever command button for a minor length of time should bring up a semi-translucent pop-up with a list of context-intelligent options in case you're unsure. At the most you're looking at 50 odd entries... but even so, there's nowhere else to find this information.
Windows Mobile derived from Palm you mean? The company that got its start making software for Apple's Newton? Nice original research there.
The MP3 player long predates Microsoft's interest in it. I was ripping my CDs to RealAudio format for digital listening long before Napster.
The Tablet is arguable... but considering their first tablet computers were just laptops without keyboards and very minimal touch interfaces, I'd hate to brag about that either. Considering my Newton MessagePad could out-do the Microsoft tablet at almost everything (except a colour display) when they were first released, I wouldn't put that on Microsoft's resume.
As for software, Microsoft primarily purchases third party software and then brings it in-house. They did it with an awful lot of the software you may know and love today.

Pitch your idea to a VC or a bank like everyone else and stop spending money your country doesn't have.
Checked the deficit lately?

Unfortunate, but true.

I keep all paperwork in my wallet on purpose. Photocopies of course, originals are not necessary.
You're not obstructing justice if you're not a suspect or a material witness ... IANAL.
That question you see lawyers ask on TV all the time? You should ask it. "Am I being charged with something officer?"
Of course, people are afraid of police abuse (for good reason) and just do what's asked of them anyway.
IMHO the police should realize who they serve.
Ironically I think Apple's behind the Android 3.0 interface on the Xoom. But they're not suing Motorola (yet).
Upgrade to a Xoom. :)
I was expecting someone to draw out an iPhone interface on an Etch-a-Sketch ;-) But that was good too.
Except the Newton IP is owned by Apple which doesn't help with the "don't sue" concept.
Like the PSP? With rounded edges and a display with icons? Sad.

"Freely you received, freely you should give."
Every time I see a Mac user drag a removable device to trash, I picture the device being formatted.
Do you even begin to understand the concepts of mutually assured destruction?
The non-proliferation treaty only has teeth if those states with nukes maintain an arsenal strong enough to wipe an offending state off the map.
Most people are disturbed when watching a movie about severely violent or unjust acts, even when they're entirely fictional.
Its normal. People who can completely disassociate actually have possible social issues.
I'm with the other poster who purposely played evil/neutral my second time through to try and get the extra content issues opened up. I still 'felt bad' about doing it though.
Indeed. I never donate to individual causes when I know a group exists that would handle their issue, and refer them to the group instead.
If you believe in the EFF's cause, support them, and refer people needing them to that organization.
Its also much more cost effective.
Alt + left arrow works for going back on Firefox/Mozilla. I've always used that. Unfortunately, Chrome ignores it.
Ignore my previous caffeine-free reply mentioning that other key.

The PDMI connector to charge a Dell Streak is over $30 from Dell and third parties haven't made them available yet to my knowledge.
Other phone companies do similarly stupid things.
