Oh Yes! Users really want to use itunes to sync (and lose their songs if they switch to a different computer) rather than just using drag and drop - the most complicated of all methods.
That's interesting. Do they also ask how much random access memory does a computer have, along with the frequency for the central processing unit and if can write to digital video disc or it can be used only for read-only-memory.

Ctrl-v is your friend in vim (And of course, Shift-v for line select).
Most likely, your bank/CC company would allow you to generate one time fixed limit temporary CC number - the best way to limit your exposure. And I use it all the time whenever I do not trust the other party fully.
It may be. But you are missing the whole point of Pandora. I, for one, have found it to be great service to explore music - to find hidden gems I would not have found otherwise - based on what kind of music I like, not somebody else.
"The G1 is controlled by T-mobile, and t-mobile can change features as it wishes."
If you keep repeating it, it may become true.
Not that G1 is greatest phone ever made (and you have to be a fanboi to make such a claim, which seems to be iphone-only case), but if you are talking about being able to install apps I want to, I can do it today, without worrying about it being locked out/bricked when next updates come along. Also, I do not have to pay for features when they are released - Android update to 1.5 was free. ("free" - look it up in dictionary).
I am sure this would never be enough to convince you (because your head is probably far up your ass), but here is something on device that "just works".
And BTW, there are other devices which actually just work better. But if you are into bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism, I am sure iphone is working out better for you.
>> Trees is a wellknown problem of SQL, but the fact is that SQL can't handle most datastructures and complex relations, only very simple one dimensional ones.
Sorry, that's not true. Have you tried analytical functions? You would be amazed how complex scenarios can be handled easily with them. And they are part of ANSI SQL standards. And db providers (Oracle etc) have taken the concept and improved a lot on it.
I think the anti-sql 'movement' has more to do with new (internet era) languages and their developers than so called 'lack' of features. In my limited experience, I have observed people coming from C (and such) background have no problem with sql, while java developers (and this is probably true for most developers working on web-based applications) are the worst kind when it comes to understanding even basics of sql. All they want is their objects.
I strongly believe that a competent programmer designing/developing system which includes data and data-storage should at least know normalization, indexes, and what does it mean by 3NF. Programming language is one thing, database is another, and knowledge of both is required to build a decent system.
Actually, there are four types of people in the world:
1. Those who keep on repeating "10 types - binary" joke.
2. Those who loves telling "3 kinds - can not count" joke repeatedly.
3. People who hate above mentioned jokes and whine about it.
4. Everybody else who does not give fuck.
Tetris! And exactly for the reason you mentioned. Though I wish they had included an unlimited option. I am done with everything and now I am just trying to beat my best personal scores.

Correct. The only fallacious and ill-considered statement allowed on/. is that "OSX is virus and malware proof just because Apple made it fully secure, and not at all because it's marketshare is close to being in single digit."

Good enough.
No. Actually "Programming" is to "mouse" as "Schrodinger" is to "cat".

Which language is this? I would love to translate such seemingly insightful post to English and enrich my life with this knowledge.

And how about NOT requiring any such app altogether. Ever heard of Over the Air?
Only in apple world, you use a software running on a desktop/laptop and meant for music files to control your mobile phone.
Kudos to you and apple.

Fuck Apple too. They are as bad as it comes. No less than microsoft.
Nope. It makes you geek when you answer "42" to an unknown question.

I get it NOW. People!! There is no "h" in the Bible! THERE IS NO "H"!!!

Right on. You and two other too.

You are right. Each And Every result I see when I google it must be pretty indecent.

Are you on 3.5? I am not too sure.
This article is about 3.5rc1.
Finally, this should stop perennial "firefox is a memory hog" trolls. Hopefully.
And if Captain Obvious is not enough, the summary also mentions "a Gizmodo editor".
Enough said.
