You seem to have completely missed the point of the complaints - it's not that Apple won't allow Flash on, it's the Apple picks and chooses third party apps that are blessed with being allowed to run on their device.
That's okay, you've missed the point too. And it isn't that Apple gets to pick and choose what runs on the iPhone, it's that they did in a very smart and profitable way. Every single software or hardware maker does what Apple does. Apple's just better at it, apparently.
...version 4 will 64-bit native? A quick googling shows that they planned to implement it, but I can't find a confirmation that FF4 will come in a 64-bit version.
Yeah, that's definitively on my radar, just a little harder to sell the SO on that, whereas an airliner (and now I'm thinking boats, too) is a more aesthetic choice.
Go lug your dual-core around another country in a backpack for six weeks
In the nicest possible way, fuck you for reminding me that I don't have anywhere near the luxury or time to be able to do something as nice as spend 6 weeks backpacking in another country.
And, of course I would use a netbook in that situation, although honestly, my iTouch and a digital camera is all I'd probably bring anyway.
So are regular netbooks, IMO. Apart from portability and maybe battery life, having a netbook at ~$300 versus a 4GB Dual-Core laptop at ~$500 is no contest.
Two things: One, it's already pre-gutted, unless 50K also buys you expensive avionics, the black box and a shit ton of life vests. Two, gutting's one of the things I could do myself.
and $8000/hr to transport it
Well, yeah, in the US, where she lives on some fucking hilltop. I could get a DC-10 carted from my local airport to the property I'm thinking of for $500 and a case of beer. Probably less if I'm in the mood to haggle.
$400,000 for the concrete slab and tie down structure to hold it.
That's one way to do it. Again, location is important.
Anyway, my point still stands: A 747 for 50K is ridiculously cheap.
Sarah Palin put republicans in jail for fraud/corruption, IIRC. I've yet to see Obama achieve anything that compares.
Damn, you've got a skewed sense of reality. I would have thought for sure that killing Jihadis with remote-controlled drones would have been way higher on the badass scale than putting some useful idiots in jail.
Interesting. You're the second person in as many weeks trying that "she didn't say that, it's from an SNL skit." That particular piece of obfuscation's not quite taking off the way you guys wanted, eh?
While we're at it, I'd make the argument that the 5% of "incorruptible" are just as bad as those on the other end of the spectrum. There's a strong component of anti-authoritarianism and inflexibility built into that mindset which might be great and all from some kind of absolutist moral standpoint, but is really disastrous in a leader or anyone who has to achieve goals bu working with and convincing other people.
Lawyers are legalized crooks, news at 11. The world would be a better place without them. The fact that we need specialized professions to be able to properly navigate the legal system is, well, downright stupid.
Plumbers are legalized crooks, news at 11. The world would be a better place without them. The fact that we need specialized professions to be able to properly navigate the plumbing system is, well, downright stupid.
Coders are legalized crooks, news at 11. The world would be a better place without them. The fact that we need specialized professions to be able to properly navigate the computer system is, well, downright stupid.
Garbage men are legalized crooks, news at 11. The world would be a better place without them. The fact that we need specialized professions to be able to properly navigate the refuse system is, well, downright stupid.
Bonus: Unlike the examples I used above, you can, as a citizen in a democratic country, change the laws so that specialists become superfluous. This really is on you as much as any lawyer.
You're not paying attention. No one's saying 'put the menu on the side'. We're saying UIs are nowhere near flexible enough.
i have never failed.
Your 20+ sockpuppet accounts paint a different picture. Plenty of people here are able to troll with no more than a couple of accounts. The fact that you have to make do with so much more means you suck hard at this.
Yes, like realizing I'm not the guy who's "complaining that you bought a monitor that broke your interface and then crying foul"
That's the other guy. Trolls are sad, but trolls who can't even troll the right person are pathetic. You'd think you'd have picked up some helpful techniques by this point.
i have well over 20 accounts. you simply can't count.
My bad. I obviously underestimated your propensity for failure, I guess.
It's harder to design menus for left or right positioning because our languages flows horizontal, not vertical.
Agreed, but you're still making my point for me - Just because MS, using your example, put a lot less time into thinking how shitty their taskbar would look anywhere else but the default doesn't mean there isn't a way to do this. You mentioned in an other post that words are better than icons. Again, agreed, if we're talking general purpose, but most people get pretty comfortable pretty quickly with the programs they're using, so why shouldn't there be a little more effort put into giving you decent UI layout options?

Never mind the quality, feel the width!

Oh, the zany bigotry!

Shit, son, you deserve a double whoosh for that one.
WHOOOOOOSH!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
or it's not gutted and can be flown into your local airport
It's only contradictory if you make the assumptions you did.
Short version: You don't know my local airport.
I don't see how you're getting it bought and delivered for $50k + $500 and a case of beer.
Heh. If I'm clever and connected enough, the $500+case of beer is all I'll be paying.
and $200,000 to gut it.
Two things: One, it's already pre-gutted, unless 50K also buys you expensive avionics, the black box and a shit ton of life vests. Two, gutting's one of the things I could do myself.

Screw that. If a 747 is only 50K, I'm building my next house out of a couple of DC-10s and laugh at all the money and time I saved.
That's because it matters less each day.
LOL, in that case I'd love to see the pics of Palin miranda-izing and cuffing those pols herself, eh?
Nice double fail.
Yeah, and I guess if I also read Empire and Q, I'm just dabbling in this soon-to-be outdated fad we call "pop-culture".
I'm guessing GP's one of those cranks who doesn't watch TV either.

As a politics junkie, I definitely find it hard to keep up, and that's just the US, let alone any other countries I'm interested in.
I'm still not seeing 'Captain Splendid'...just that MK idiot...maybe, considering siblings post above me, slashdot is borked for you?
If you say so...I click on parent and I get MK's post. Maybe slashdot is worse off than I thought...
if you put the menus on the side

Umm, dude, I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to sockpuppet boy. Unless you're also him, which I doubt.
When did everybody lose the ability to hit the 'parent' link to check these things?
follow a simple thread?
