Anyway, what I wonder in this case is how much is genetics and how much is environment. Though they don't say anything about anything of it, just how they act as kids.
But for instance genetics may not decide whatever your parents separate or not (or maybe it does if they are more "explosive" characters themselves.. And you get that), but eventually that may affect how you interact with other persons.
Personally I feel pretty fucked up now at the age of 31. I've had a somewhat weird life as kid but I didn't felt weird or remotely as bad back when I was say 20.
Way too little real interaction with other people in my life, work/job/whatever, love, death, sadness make you behave weird. It could had changed and some people could probably had helped but it kinda scares them away because what are they supposed to see in someone such as myself?
Yeah, because it's not like the Jews or Muslim to carry a grudge for hundreds of years, right?
He said isolate though. If you get rocks thrown on your kids from the Israeli side or military within your borders disturbing the peace / try to scare people or various combinations whereof it's probably pretty hard to let things settle.
Meanwhile if you don't have any of that for 100 years then close to everyone which was used to it is dead and the new people don't necessary know about it or see a purpose in keep doing it. So maybe they wouldn't.
I was thinking among similar lines but regarding personality. Rather how the Russian greeted everyone, the Chinese started to brag about how they where clearly more educated and hard working and superior to the western people because they got all the companies, technology, economy and whatever, no-one got what the Frenchman where saying,..
To be brutally honest, you shouldn't have purchased an Apple device if you valued your freedoms THAT much... It is a well documented and thoroughly slashdotted subject this.
He didn't knew back then.
But yeah, same thing for batteries, software, memory, hard-drives. All the companies suck. I could do something much more consumer friendly =P
Probably good enough, benefits if you're already there: Drop at the Marianas trench.
Random volcano would probably do just fine as well. Iceland don't have to pay this much;)
Bomb it as someone else has said.
I don't see why one need to over do it. Throw it into some metal recycling thingy and it's probably taken care of well enough anyway. Atleast if you supervise the process.
Are we really so weak that we absolutely cannot do without a smart phone until manufacturers actually start giving us what we want? I mean, we're the goddamn customers. Vote with your feet.
Already done.
My phones: * Ericsson GH688, 500-800 sek used, back when Ericsson was king. * Ericsson T28s, 1 sek + 24 month @ 149 sek subscription. Most beautiful phone I've ever had. Quality was shitty though. * Siemens C55, bought with one year subscription. Don't know if the phone was for free, probably was. Can't say it was much better. Had JAVA but I didn't used it. Much longer battery life, killed by water from food in a plastic container. * Sony-Ericsson z300i, 250 sek used. Best phone I have. Reliable and would probably take a three story fall right into stone and survive with no issues whatsoever. Replaceable shell which would take the impact. (The T28s is aluminum frame/backplate so pretty solid to.. GH688 got metal frame as well.) I've thrown it with full force over three rooms into my bed back plate, made a dent in the wood but nothing happened with the phone. * Motorola w220, 350 sek with pre-paid card. Don't ask me why. Because I could get a phone for cheap? Similar battery life to the z300i but it's hard to say it's better. Worse battery life, probably worse sound quality, shitty tones. Got FM-radio but requires hands-free.
So there you go =P
After the T28s with two years subscription I was waiting for something cool to come up, nothing did. Or well, there was the Ericsson T66i which was amazing but I didn't got it back then. Small buttons and not much of an improvement over my T28s. Better than the three phones following it though;D
Was waiting for an Android phone which was actually open and with all future upgrades because I don't see the need to replace the hardware all the freaking time. But Google didn't sold the Nexus one here so. The Nexus S would solve that but whatever. Would get an HTC phone for Android I guess because their track record is the best.
Currently own Nokia stock though for some stupid reason so ATM I would obviously want to help them out;D. The N900 is a little too old even though the screen and such still make it top among the crop. It can also run the early versions of MeeGo (plus someone ported Android to it, don't know if everything work?) The N8 obviously comes with Symbian^3, I would had preferred if they had given an offer to upgrade it to MeeGo once released. Worse resolution than the N900 and cost more but it got HDMI output, supports UMS for harddrives, USB memory sticks and what not, can play HD video for 6 hours and got "Big screen" software where you use the phone as a remote for the video/music content on screen. It also supports USB OGT so you can hook up an USB HUB with USB keyboard and mouse and then the HDMI to a screen and you get your own very portable desktop computer. Probably quite cool and convenient for say GPG keys with e-mail, Irssi if someone ported it and what not =P
But use QT.
Preferably I would get something like "N9" with N900 resolution or better, E7 keyboard and which ran MeeGo with complete openness and user replaceable firmware.
Your numbers are a little off. The Droid brand sells tens of millions of devices a year.
Someone else said 99% of the people wouldn't care.
But yeah, maybe the 1% who do care and the 0.25% who would had eventually bought the Motorola and the 0.05% who decided they won't now when Motorola decides as such won't kill it:)
Bad suicide attempt? =P
And the people who buy it to install custom OS on it or even know what an "OS" is, are tens of thousands.
I don't see why the browser or media player integrated in the browser shouldn't be able to figure it out and inform the user by itself though.
That would mean I'd have to keep an up-to-date list of all the places to get the WebM codec for all the various platforms that my visitors might be using
Not once it was widespread.
but there should always be at least one common codec that can be relied upon being present
H.264 is (or well, not with the stupid browsers picking their own format and not using whatever is installed in the OS), and WebM could be to if people decided to.
(I was earlier thinking about saying it could be distributed with the browser but that would be like Apple does with iTunes and Quicktime and all sorts of crap and I don't think people want to download it time and time again even though they already have it installed. So.. Better have the browser help them out if it's not there already. It's very simple to do and your webpage don't have to do shit if the browser inform your user either at start that it need to fetch a new video codec used for HTML video or upon loading your page with WebM content.)
If you think the government should step in and manage these corporations in a way that benefits the country, instead of the shareholders, then why not just transfer ownership of the company to the government? After all, we have a successful example of a society like this: it was called the Soviet Union. All corporations were owned and managed by the central government. As an American, are you advocating that system?
While I think you are correct and I doubt most Americans would want their companies ran by the government:
Here in Sweden we've had quite a few companies ran by the government, for good and bad. The government the last 4.5 year has sold plenty out and even more earlier when they had the change but anyhow. Personally I can't say all of it (government owned companies) has been bad. For instance railroads and electricity production may have been better that way. They sold out Vin & Sprit, makers of among other things Absolut Vodka. Don't really know if the short term profit from that is worth the long term loss of income from the company.
Anyhow, then we have Norway, where the government manage huge funds buying into companies. So most often not 100% owned by the government I assume but still to some extent.
Slashdot Mirror
Beyond what JWW typed I assume not designing for the low-end desktops helped to. If there was any at the time.
Since the machines it was built for had more capability maybe that helped it last until even the simplest machines has as much or more capability.
Thanks to Unix you can download all the Japanese anime tentacle pr0n you ever wanted!
Amazingly that's also what inspired them to write it in the first place!
I haven't RTFA or RTFFP.

Crap :(
Yeah because the palistinians try to exterminate the jews and for no good reason?
CNN much?
There is a way to resolve such disputes. It is called War
Too bad the religious fights over Jerusalem and that area has kept going on for thousands of years.
Good idea though ..
Still a good result for the rest of the world.
The question is what people should be free to stay alive if you reason like that?
The buddists? Monks and eskimos?
It's not like europeans, still here or emigrated (USA/whatever..) is perfect, or even close to.
Nuke them all. Their respective God will provide his true chosen people with the ability to live in the radioactive wasteland.
Unless they have the same God who abandoned them both after years of bullshit actions in the name of God on both sides.
I assume he meant neither would gain that ability and both would fail, as would their gods, since they don't exist.
Yeah, because it's not like the Jews or Muslim to carry a grudge for hundreds of years, right?

Not a very convenient or fast solution though.
Yeah, just like the Europeans were inherently superior, or the Japanese were inherently superior, or the American Way Of Life(TM) was superior.
"But.. But.. But we were!" ;D
What did the Italian bring?
I was thinking among similar lines but regarding personality. Rather how the Russian greeted everyone, the Chinese started to brag about how they where clearly more educated and hard working and superior to the western people because they got all the companies, technology, economy and whatever, no-one got what the Frenchman where saying, ..
I'm gonna go hug my CyanogenMod7 powered Desire now... :)
I'm gonna throw my Droid in the toilet. Wait, I don't own a Droid =P
type pentalobular screwdriver in google - how fucking hard can that be?
This hard?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pentalobular+screwdriver
Pentalobotomized Apple users?
Who could had guessed?
To be brutally honest, you shouldn't have purchased an Apple device if you valued your freedoms THAT much... It is a well documented and thoroughly slashdotted subject this.
He didn't knew back then.
But yeah, same thing for batteries, software, memory, hard-drives. All the companies suck. I could do something much more consumer friendly =P
But yeah, what about the profits?
Google do no evil and look where that's got them!
Isn't that called theft?
Isn't everything from Apple?
You pay for something they still considers theirs (and not yours)! :D
Probably good enough, benefits if you're already there:
Drop at the Marianas trench.
Random volcano would probably do just fine as well. Iceland don't have to pay this much ;)

It is open.
Motorola can do whatever they want. Almost.
Suck to be the consumer though.
If only the openness was enforced =P
GPL 3 extreme please? :)
These are not the droids you're looking for!
So what you are saying is that a few bad Apples doesn't necessary stop you from making Apple pie?
Your numbers are a little off. The Droid brand sells tens of millions of devices a year.

Ah, ok.
Hundreds of thousands of potential costumers go "ok."
From where?
I said you could.
I don't see why the browser or media player integrated in the browser shouldn't be able to figure it out and inform the user by itself though.

Atleast hook them up after each other for real. Or shouldn't that improve fuel efficiency? I'm not sure it does by myself so please contribute.
