So yes, it's an ancient and arbitrary size, but so are Imperial units and we seem to have a devil of a time getting rid of those stupid things.
And SI units are supposed to be what? A meter is 1/10000 of the portion of a meridian running from the north pole to the equator through Paris. Why not 1/15000 of a meridian running through Nantes? A second is a day divided by 86400. Where did that number come from? Sounds arbitrary to me. (The modern definitions of these units are just things that can be more consistently measured, but based on the same arbitrary values of the original units.)
No offense taken at all. I just remember the circumstances being suspicious. The whole thing seemed to be about getting people to anticipate the upcoming announcement.
She is the Queen of the United Kingdom, which includes England, but there is no Queen of England. The number reflects the fact that the monarchy of the UK was a continuation of the monarchy that had existed in England and Scotland.
First off, "Queen of England"? There has been no such office since the Acts of Union in 1707. Also, I'm not aware of any monarch directly participating in Canadian politics since King George VI sat in on a session of parliament. In the UK she at least has a role meeting with foreign heads of state and such. Since Canada has common law, things don't actually have to be written down for it to be considered law. I'm not sure how the courts would handle the GG picking a PM that didn't represent the largest party in the House of Commons.
We'd just be a constitutional monarchy like Canada, with a foreigner as our Head of State.
The governor-general, the person who actually wields the power of the monarchy is Canadian, and is head of state in name only. So instead of having dead presidents on our currency, we'd have the face of an old english lady. What's the issue?
When has throwing something in a box that a user might not want been illegal? Nobody complains when a pair of cables is thrown in with a DVD player, when the user might have their own set of cables already.
Microsoft on the other hand got in trouble because they where leveraging their OS monopoly to take over web browsers. This meant that users had to put in extra effort if they wanted to use a competitors product.
Professional photographers talk about equipment all the damn time. They have preferences for one brand or another. After all if their equipment is inadequate for the job or fails, then that's money they lost.
The only real difference is that a professional is less focused on how new their equipment is. If that body had good weather seals when it was new and an exterior made of a tough alloy, then it's probably going to stand up to tomorrows job even if it isn't the latest model. If the lens is sharp and has big aperture, then it's still good.
The user interface wasn't the problem. It was fixed in 2.0. A lot of what was hampering the gimp was the lack of support for larger bit depths and support for non-destructive editing.
I'm not a developer either. But I'm glad that those who have coding skills can fork software. If a piece of software no longer does what I want it to, I just drop it and go on to the next piece of software.
Nothing wrong here. If a Mac user doesn't like the way Mac OS X is going, they're choices are to use old and unsupported software or bitch and complain. If a Linux user doesn't like the way things are going they can fork.
If it's going to uninstalled in a few minutes, why install it in the first place? It seems like it would be easier to just do a minimal install. I don't know of any distros that don't allow a minimal install. Either that or find a spin with the software that you actually want.
Except my cell phone includes the model of the phone and the android version in it's User Agent string. There are probably other identifying things that it sends.

Then what are the effects of this brain damage? Can it cause a mood disorder or other psychological issues as the article is suggesting?
The Thermidorians stopped a murderous regime *dead* in it's tracks and gave us the metric system. "I'll give them that." I'd give them everything.
But the metric system was part of the Thermidorian Reaction.
I didn't mean that a well known name is a good thing, just that something with a well known name will sell better.

Because of the ubiquity of the PDF format which is more suited for printing than being reflowed on a screen. That's why.
It's from a brand that most people have heard of, and it also has an IPS screen. Can other tablets match that at the price point?

I don't think it's our eyes that determine what framerates are noticeable, I think it's that object at the other end of the optic nerve.
Fine. I came to the conclusion that it was all just a publicity stunt.
After it happened repeatedly, didn't everyone come to the conclusion that the whole thing was a publicity stunt?

Opera made a better browser, and had an uphill battle trying to get users to download it.

So anyone who takes one step out of the studio is a poseur. Also a lot of the talk about brands has more to do with vendor lock in than actual brands.

Well if it doesn't do what you need it to, then the interface is irrelevant.
