We DO NOT NEED more IDIOTS voting just because someone told them they should vote.
We need more people making intelligent decisions about who they vote for. We need less people voting for their team/mascot/color. If you check the 'republican' or 'democrat' checkbox when you vote, you are the worst kind of citizen, more so than one who doesn't vote. There is absolutely no possible way that you agree with every single member of one party.
You should ONLY VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND. You should not be voting based on what CNN or Fox news told you. You should not be voting based on what your friends are voting for. You should not be voting without knowing the people you are voting for.
If you think the president is the most important person to vote for, PLEASE DON'T VOTE, you don't know how the government works.
I don't want more people voting. I want more people knowing who the fuck they are voting for! I don't care who you vote for as long as you actually know what they stand for and what they will do. Look at the history of the people you vote for. If you don't know someones history DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.
No TV commercial or radio spot has told you the truth. They may not flat out lie, but they most certainly withhold the full information in order to make their guy seem like he/she is better than they actually are.
Please don't vote just because MTV or CodeWeavers told you to, thats how we got to this point in the first freaking place.
Android users need something like Swype because the built in keyboard just sucks ass. I had turn by turn directions on my iPhone before the first Android device hit the market, and you've always been able to use maps.google.com.
Yes, because you should make assumptions because on one report from an anonymous source.
This is probably no different than the douche who was bitching about iOS approval a few days ago when what he was doing was clearly without a doubt against the rules of the iOS app store.
Google doesn't sell advertisers data, they use it for their own services. Google hordes the data for themselves, advertisers only get a secondary benefit from it via things like Adwords.
My company does. We get FAR FAR better results from Bing than we do from Google because... No one buys bing ads!
Its counter-intuitive but we really do far better for far less on Bing than on Google. Words are cheaper, that part is directly related to its popularity in relation to Google. What I can't explain is that we get a better conversion rate on Bing as well. We still haven't figured that one out exactly yet.
Really? I just returned a Nexus 7 due to the still laggy UI and chrome issues. VERY FIRST THING IT ASKS FOR IS YOUR GOOGLE EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD. Yes, you can skip it... IF you know that you can and you know which softkey to press. New users without technical knowledge are unlikely to do so.
Ignoring that, half the 'apps' on the home screen are Google. Its like one big massive Google Play advertisement. There were multiple icons for the same app like maps/navigation/local for instance. A gmail AND a mail app.
I'm not sure about other Android devices since they are all so inconsistent and fragmented so it may be just the Nexus 7 that is like that, but it is FAR worse than Windows 95 and IE.
The question is, have you looked at android devices through unbiased eyes? I would say clearly you haven't.
I've tried android multiple times. I WANT TO LIKE IT so I can get off iOS, but until it stops sucking I'm not going to stop criticizing it personally.
Microsoft was not allowing resellers to add browsers like Netscape Navigator to PCs if they wanted reasonable prices. Want to add netscape? You don't get OEM prices, you pay full price.
They were not in violation for including IE, they were in violation for using their dominance to exclude others.
They would have been fine if they disallowed ANY modifications to the base install, but they didn't. It was fine to load all sorts of crapware, just not any serious IE competitor. It was targeted exclusion.
Encryption IS security through obscurity by definition.
Its cute that you're trying to pretend you know about encryption but as soon as someone plays the 'security through obscurity' phrase it makes it clear you don't get it.
You use an obscure key to make that math useful. The algorithm is intentionally obscure to waste processing time as to make brute forcing it impractical.
Even acknowledge the private key aspect but don't seem to recognize that it.
And Congress has done nothing in relation to the OCSE. The president, you know, the executive branch which signed the treaty does not even have the power to make laws in ANY FORM. So the whole 'treaty' in unenforceable in the US anyway.
There is no person in the known universe that does not have a vested interest in the elections of the United States due to its status as a world power.
No, but not knowing how to do your job properly and being efficient about it shows you're an ignorant person.
Janitors don't use a tooth brush to clean the floor, they use a mop of a vacuum. Anyone doing desktop support worth their salt uses images that are pretty close to ready to go.
If you spend a day updating a PC and you don't use an image on the next one, you are part of the problem.
Yea, you're totally right. We should go back to WWII style carpet bombing of entire cities with unguided manually aimed bombs dropped from 30k feet. That would be MUCH BETTER. Certainly way better than turning off someones pacemaker... which for reference, isn't a death sentence or their heart monitor.
Get a grip, and stop using retarded sayings like 'this piece of kit', it makes you sound rather uneducated.
Much like its much harder for FreeBSD to run Linux binaries... except... its not and FreeBSD actually runs SOME things faster than Linux (not trying to start a flame war here, just pointing out a few things)
API wrappers don't have to suck, especially if you can turn it into something as little as moving argument order around.
Think about that for a second... you feel sorry for him?
What is it with you people? You're phone is so unpopular that no one bothers to charge for crap on it. No one stands in line for it, its never been 'on a wait'. Thats not something to be impressed by. You're all gaga over something no one else gives a shit about. All you're doing is showing how you truely don't understand the world around you.

Shrug, I have no problem playing on my laptop with 2880x1800, bf3 isn't exactly high end anymore.

I call bullshit across the board.
Android users need something like Swype because the built in keyboard just sucks ass. I had turn by turn directions on my iPhone before the first Android device hit the market, and you've always been able to use maps.google.com.
You want to try something else?
So you think that an object that not everyone owns selling more than an object that everyone already owns at least one of is an indicator?
By that definition, cars are a niche compared to smart phones!
Yes, because you should make assumptions because on one report from an anonymous source.
This is probably no different than the douche who was bitching about iOS approval a few days ago when what he was doing was clearly without a doubt against the rules of the iOS app store.
There is no such constraint on the Apple stores, iOS or Mac.

Change 'commercial software available' to 'useful commercial software available' and then tell me how Android is any different.

It tells you when you turn it on the next day and checks.
Have you even used a computer or are you just talking out your ass?
No, but not knowing how to do your job properly and being efficient about it shows you're an ignorant person.
Janitors don't use a tooth brush to clean the floor, they use a mop of a vacuum. Anyone doing desktop support worth their salt uses images that are pretty close to ready to go.

Uhm, iraq and afghistan insurgents? You do realize the use cell phones to communicate and trigger road side bombs, don't you?
Just because an area is dirt poor doesn't mean the warlords are.
Yea, you're totally right. We should go back to WWII style carpet bombing of entire cities with unguided manually aimed bombs dropped from 30k feet. That would be MUCH BETTER. Certainly way better than turning off someones pacemaker ... which for reference, isn't a death sentence or their heart monitor.
Get a grip, and stop using retarded sayings like 'this piece of kit', it makes you sound rather uneducated.
Heh, the goose is cooked!
You do realize that a massive portion of our infrastructure IS A MILITARY PROJECT ... right?
You like highways? Thats funny since they exist so the military would have multiple good, solid routes incase we need to move military shit around.
I could go on but your prejudice and ignorance will make it pointless to explain it too you.
Its not even a little bit hard.
When energized a solenoid disengages the clutch, which has a mechanical spring trying to force the clutch to engage.
If the solenoid looses power, the the clutch engages, establishing a mechanical connection.
Its a fail-SAFE.
Ahhh, mixing personal opinion in to try and change the facts.
It doesn't work that way. Regardless of why the bombs were dropped, they still hit their intended targets with the same level of accuracy.
Your political views. just like all politics don't actually change facts, you just lie to make it seem like they do.
but as a rule I buy the cheapest piece-of-junk cell phone I possibly can,
Hrm, I wonder why your reception sucks ...
Much like its much harder for FreeBSD to run Linux binaries ... except ... its not and FreeBSD actually runs SOME things faster than Linux (not trying to start a flame war here, just pointing out a few things)
