I don't know anything about the app he speaks of, but he's obviously never dealt with multiple monitors before so I'd say theres a good chance at least some of the problem is lack of user understanding and initial learning curve.
Interesting that it gets the iPhone web pages... that would be irritating.
Irritating is all the websites that have 'iPhone' versions.
I got an iPhone because the web browser doesn't suck ass like every other 'smart' phone I've had/used. I don't want some shitty cut down, half implemented to ride the iPhone buzzword trends, bullcrap called a website.
My browser is capable of dealing with the full page, which is how I prefer it, STOP GIVING ME THIS CRAPPY MOBILE VERSIONS THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN FINISH IMPLEMENTING.
I don't want to have to 'opt out' every time I visit a site (Looking at you Google).
The ICBM package launches with the intention of overshooting one, some or all of its targets.
Then something (in this case being called a retro rocket, though guidance thruster may be more accurate) slows down the various bits so they fall in the general direction of the target so the remaining guidance systems can finish the job.
Without the retro rockets MIRVs would be a whole lot less useful. You'd be dropping 8 bombs on moscow (and close by areas) instead of one on moscow, one on paris, one on london, one on berlin, ect...
Contrary to popular belief, there are much much larger quantities of radioactive materials already in our environment closer than these bombs are to people.
Okay, I'll try it, its not going to do anything...
C4 was kind of designed to be pretty stable to avoid accidental detonation. Its meant to be a 'safe' explosive, you have to put effort into detonating it by adding both heat AND pressure. Its unlikely you'll ever set off C4 with your bare hands unless you're using them to ignite another form of explosive to (like a blasting cap or detonator cord) actually do the deed for you.
This means that they will work consistently across all platforms.
Yes, this also means its likely that the widget will work wrong across all platforms as the only right way is the native way.
Flash is become the ultimate platform for GUI development.
Considering it more or less requires you to create an app that breaks native OS look and feel, I'd say you are certainly wrong in almost every single possible case.
If you're making flash apps I'm sorry but the reality of it is that its highly unlikely you know how to make a GUI better than the OS designers. Even just copying the native widget is practically impossible from a end developer perspective due to the shear number of variations you have to deal with.
Flash is not intended to be aware of platform issues, it simply ignores them. Anyone worth there salt as a developer can tell you how ignoring the platform specific makes your app asstastic rather rapidly.
Get over it. I've never been in an accident, yet I have to have insurance. I spent many many (sad and lonely moons) not having sex, yet I still paid more for health insurance to compensate for the reduced rate women get for their pills... and no, they don't ALL fucking need them for 'regularity' or 'complexion'... they survived before hormone tablets existed.
I have no children (yet:) but I still pay taxes for schools. Do you have children? Would you want to actually pay the full cost of their schooling?
Its called socialism, get used to it. It has its place in a civilized world. Unless you want to have your entire life dictated to you then you have to deal with sometimes paying extra for what some other people do. Likewise there will be times when other people are paying for your ignorance. If you don't like the system there are several ways you can take yourself out of it. Its rather easy to not have to pay taxes, just move to Somalia and hang out. You'll not have to pay extra for anyone... you'll love the quality of life too.
The computer doesn't do the molesting, molester's do the molesting
The computer facilitates him being able to contact those that do the molestation. It allows him to purchase/steal/whatever kiddie porn. By preventing him from using a computer, you prevent him from participating in that. That lowers the appeal to anyone trying to sell it, even if its just a little.
And according to the courts previous judgement, he did break the law with his computer. He is KNOWN (just like in a DUI case or a murder with a gun) to break the law and do extremely unacceptable things using a computer. It blows my mind that you somehow think computers are different.
If we start piecemeal restricting people from the things that could be used to aid in causing harm, what will we have left?
I am not restricted. I will not be restricted. I own and use both a car and several computers every day, I also occasionally take my gun to the firing range to blow off some steam. Do you have the slightest clue WHY I'm allowed to do all this?
I have not downloaded kiddie porn. I have not killed someone with a gun. I have not killed someone with my car.
So until such time as I break the law and do something extremely bad with one of those items, I won't be restricted, but once I do the story changes. You know how you don't get restricted? DON'T do something wrong. If you don't think any of those things are wrong well... thats an issue in and of itself that you need to get addressed I think... but assuming you are sane... oh never mind, if you were sane I wouldn't be responding.
Typical America, treating the symptoms, not the problems.
Typical moron, instead of accepting that we don't have a perfect solution, you say just stop... brilliant idea. We're not perfect so lets not do anything. Fortunately the rest of the world doesn't agree with that sort of ignorance. Think about what you're saying and apply it to anything else, computers even... 'we don't have the perfect solution, so lets just not use computers'... does that make you realize how dumb your statement sounds?
Whats next, we give the DC sniper and son their guns back because after all, the guns don't kill people so they certainly should be able to own a gun...
First way to tell if its junk mail: does it say 'resident' (or whatever your language happens to be) in the addressee? Yes? Its junk.
No? Maybe junk, maybe not.
If you just throw out the ones with the wrong addressee name for the address or ones that say 'current resident' or variations on that then you've already cut down on 99.9% of the problem with junk mail.
Really, because you get packages and magazines every day of the week? You must be fast, I don't think I could read 20 or so magazines every single month. You really can't wait up to... 4 days... to get something that comes ones a month? Would you have a embolism if the publish just shifted the mailing date back by 4 days?
And you're sending important things you need to get right away via standard mail rather than FedEx or its equivalent? Really?
$20 says if no one told you, you'd not notice for months.
Depends on how many assholes like me you have to deal with.
I have a stack of printed 'return to sender' labels laying next to my door. When I get junk mail I put it back in my mailbox with the RTS label on it.
While thats a little nutty I admit, its better than my original plan which was to shove it down the post mans throat before lighting it on fire. At least I don't got to jail this way, and I'm pretty sure it eats into any profit they might have.
Yea, except the general public can actually do something with PDFs, where as film negatives are really a pain in the ass to deal with for this purpose.
True, old idea, new implementation, but its definitely an improvement over the last one.
Its no more likely to happen with it being done this way than it currently is.
Its really not hard to open an envelope, fuck with the contents, and reseal it without anyone noticing after the fact.
The fact that the places that are going to be doing this are most certainly monitored to all hell and back like most postal sorting facilities already are.
You are being paranoid about a problem that would already exist if it were actually going to be a problem.
Like it or not, this is the way things are going. The transition is going to happen and when it does there are going to be initial issues that need to be worked out, but thats not an excuse for not doing it.
The pony express riders could read your mail and steal your money too, far easier than now where most of the work is done by machines rather than hands on by people... but it was still a good thing to have wasn't it?
People have always had their hands on your mail and had this ability. They've had scanners for years that would make it easy to spot money in something and to stick that one aside. Hell, a hand held high power UV light in your palm being held over the envelopes will get you enough of a reflection to detect the plastic strip in american bills so you only have to open the ones with money in them, making it pretty much identical to this in every way. If you trust your mailman, this is no different, he can already do this if he wants to.
Fortunately, most people find it easier to just do their job than to try and scam people via the mail and end up in a federal prison... at least here in the states. I doubt its really that much different in Finland.
It has installation instructions... with things I have to install to get it to work...
Uhm, so if I'm going to install shit, then its not really the browser doing it, its a plugin or addin or what have you.
Don't tell me how kickass your HTML5 app is when it won't work out of the box in my HTML5 capable browser. Flash games aren't browser games. Anything that requires me to install something other than the browser fails.
I can make browser plugins that will run quake far more efficiently than this crap with a lot less work. I realize what google was trying to accomplish, but if anything this just makes me fear that the awesomeness that is supposed to be HTML5 is not really any different than anything we have today.
Where is your example of some successful software product without backwards compatibility?
Contrary to popular belief, a 'complete rewrite' is almost universally a retarded idea, and any developer with more than a couple years experience knows this.
When you're programming to get something done, its a little different than sitting in mommies basement rewriting your python script because you don't actually have anything else to do.

The guy tried to turn a 13 year old girl into his personal whore and banning in from using the computer is 'unfair' ...
WHAT
THE
FUCK
is wrong with this world?
Unfair would be cutting his balls off and raping him with a broom handle until he could taste splinters only to find out that he didn't do it.
There is nothing 'unfair' you can do to him. Nothing.
What if it was your daughter? Your wife? Your son? You'd still think it was 'unfair' to ban him from a computer? Seriously?
So is a car ... and a gun.

That would be awesome. Pedos tend to have short life spans behind bars. Even most murders have some sense of protecting children.
So I agree, put him in jail instead. Problem solved.
Hey, heres an idea ... don't commit crimes that result in life long punishment and you won't get a life long punishment.
Its not hard really.
Just because you reorder the words in a sentence, doesn't mean anything changed, the end result is the same.
Unless you're delusional thats the way the world has always worked and always will.
