It has to get to court first though, which depends on both the prosecutor and the judge to actually care about justice more than they do about their cop buddy (and/or the city government, which all three work for).
...they are multi-language apps, which means testing at both common and high DPI for every language.
Language should have absolutely nothing to do with it; if the font size change (in pixels) is different than the bounding box size change (also in pixels) then there's a bug whether the string is long enough to get truncated or not.
DPI independence is hard as soon as you leave the world of text and generated graphical elements...
Only if the person creating the content is used to working in print, and thinks he can design websites the same way. Or in other words, only if he is INCOMPETENT!
Because anarchy and lawlessness is the same as libertarianism. Right.
Of course anarchy and lawlessness isn't the same thing as libertarianism! With libertarianism, you get all the legal protection you're willing and able to pay for. And if the criminals outbid you for control over the police, well, that's just your fault for being too poor!
I give you a point though, for pointing out that nuclear powered craft are still steamers. A lot of people don't realize that you can't hook atoms directly to a reduction gear to move the ship or boat - the energy has to be converted and transmitted to the gearing somehow!
That was my only point, actually. However, it should be noted that there areother ways to turn nuclear energy into a usable form without using steam... it's just that (AFAIK) no ships or boats (or whatever you want to call them!) use them.
There is a study of African men showing that circumcised men have a 50% lower rate of STI transmission.
But is that because being circumcised actually makes it harder for the infection to take root, or is it because it makes the African women not want to have sex with them anymore?
Although, most turbo engines have a torque curve that can hardly be considered "torquey" due to the difficulty of building significant boost at low rpm.
Turbo gasoline engines, maybe. Turbodiesels have small turbos that spool up at low RPM. The one in my Beetle TDI (a 1.9L I4, by the way) kicks in at about 1600 RPM, with idle at 800 and the redline at 5000.
I live in hope of someone designing a mid-sized car with ultralightweight materials and putting a slow-running non-turbo diesel in it with high gear ratios and the maximum possible low-rev torque setup - economy and long life without complications.
What's wrong with a turbo? They don't make it that much more complicated, and the huge boost in efficiency is well worth it.
Also, quit hoping and dreaming and just buy yourself a damn VW diesel aleady! They've been making almost what you want for about 20 years now...!
What, and you think failing to keep up with the rest of the world in MPG standards would help American cars' competitiveness?! We already can't sell half the shit the Formerly-Big Three make in (for example) China, because we fail to meet Chinese standards!
That would suck, because then you'd have to reboot and wouldn't be able to do anything else at the same time. I'd prefer a native app, but even a VM would be better than that.
...it is still an issue with other monopolistic products - eg if there was something that was patented but used by Windows that only the open source community wanted to replace, but MS couldn't give a rats ass about, that product would continue to resist change. FAT32 for example.

Refusing discovery and Freedom of Information Act requests months and months later are not "mistakes in the heat of the moment!"

And of course, OS X uses "Display PDF" which should still do all that stuff too... yet it doesn't, for no good reason.
What PC driving game has more realism than Gran Turismo or Forza?
So, his argument was nonsense and then you agreed with him?
Having played Wii FPSs (e.g. The Conduit), I still like using a mouse better.
Ethanol from corn is a scam. Ethanol from more appropriate sources -- sugar cane, cellulose, etc. -- is (or has the potential to be) worthwhile.
Brazil's success making ethanol from sugar cane doesn't make U.S. companies' practice of making it from corn any less of a scam.

No, the libertarian free market leads to feudalism as the "haves" buy personal armies and the "have nots" sell themselves into serfdom to survive.

Leonard Nimoy was in Star Trek?! Wow, I loved his singing, but I had no idea!
But nuclear submarines (and carriers, etc.) are steam ships! They just use nuclear fission (instead of combustion) to heat the water. : )
No shit, Sherlock; that's why he was comparing it against the old (smaller) Focus. The new Focus is nearly midsize now.

You do know the same guy who invented the autobahn also invented blitzkrieg, right?
Why is it that the US road system doesn't use spiral curves, anyway?

To answer your .sig:
Don't try to switch. PCs suck at fighting games, in the same way that consoles suck at RTSs.
Or H.264.
