Yet Marvel's parent company has been the biggest corporate proponent of copyright term extension. The civil libertarian press didn't call it the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" for nothing. It's also a major proponent of laws to prohibit production of devices useful for circumventing digital restrictions management. So stories that portray Marvel in a positive light run counter to whatever slant Slashdot's "Your Rights Online" section is trying to show.
Just write chinese in pinyin and speak it normally. (the number of Chinese speakers does not matter, the issue is with how it is written down.)
"Chinese" is not a single spoken language. A passage written in one Chinese language, such as Mandarin, is often readable in another Chinese language, such as Cantonese, so long as they're written with Han characters. It's as if French could be read as Italian or Spanish with the same characters. In addition, different words that sound the same in a given Chinese language due to historic sound changes usually have different Han characters. They may end up sounding different in a different Chinese language whose different historic sound changes produced different homophone sets. Pinyin, on the other hand, depends on Mandarin and confuses homophones.
it makes them looker cuter (the younger a child is, the larger its head is in proportion to its body, so large heads make chararcters look babyish and cute)
Then why doesn't a hydrocephalic real-life human look "babyish and cute"? There has to be some key difference that triggers a positive reaction in one case and an uncanny valley reaction in others. Apparently, Precious Moments products lie close to this line, with some people calling them "hydrocephalic monsters".
Also, a healthy newborn baby is about 4 heads long and only becomes taller from there. Some of the characters using this "always super deformed" art style are 2 to 3 heads tall even at elementary school age. It makes it more difficult for the viewer to assess characters' maturity level and thus the appropriateness of their reactions to events around them.
Furthermore, scenes that include rough play might be harder to follow given the change in center of mass. If COM is in the neck, wouldn't that make playground injuries that much more serious?
it allows the artist to be more expressive with the face
So does an MCU, which fills the frame with a character's head and shoulders.
Let me rephrase: For a substantial number of people (which may not include jaklode) in a substantial number of situations (which may not include those that jaklode encounters regularly), taking notes on a document requires being able to see the document and the notes at once.
Say you have three apps. The best platform for app A is Windows. The best platform for app B is OS X. The best platform for app C is GNU/Linux. Should these three apps be run in a triple-boot on a MacBook or on three separate computers? And either way, how do you copy and paste among these three apps?
Despite that a swoop and squat is not what happened in the incident described in the article, a swoop and squat is still part of AT ALL TIMES. How would one avoid a swoop and squat, whether as fraud or as an accident?
Implying that I'm part of the group that ever buys a commercially-built computer with pre-installed OS and software on it in the first place
Good luck finding a laptop without an operating system.
If for some reason I was prevented in that case by the manufacturer from doing exactly that, then I'd be boxing the thing back up and returning it for a full refund.
If the first five manufacturers from which you choose to buy a laptop all prevent you in this manner, what do you plan to do?
There are plenty of Android devices designed to be connected to regular monitors and TVs as PC replacements.
Are these non-Google Play devices?
It's being able to switch between them easily (aka the Taskbar) that's the key
Necessary but not sufficient. Taking notes on a document requires being able to split the screen, read from one window, and write in another. I can do this on PC operating systems using a window manager that implements either tiled or floating windows. But the Android CDD specified an "all maximized all the time" window management policy last time I checked. The Android CDD allows an app to assume that the available screen space won't change, other than rotation, after the app is installed. Otherwise, you have to buy multiple devices, one for reading and one for writing, and spread them out on your desk like they used to spread out PADDs in Star Trek.
Run the apps you need on the platform that suits each one best
Except sometimes the platform that suits your task best is the platform where your other apps and data already are. Integrating apps, data formats, network policies, and the like among diverse platforms can become painful, especially if you try to take it to the limit of one machine per app because each app has a different platform that suits it best.
I can think of Group Policy Editor. Google Chrome requires editing Group Policy in order to keep it from automatically uninstalling an extension or app obtained other than through the Chrome Web Store.
We need Windows because the application we use is listed as Garbage in Wine AppDB.
We need Windows because we installed Wine from the distribution's repository and the application we use failed in X, Y, and Z ways.
We use an application that controls a hardware peripheral, such as a CNC mill. We need Windows because the application depends on a Windows-exclusive device driver for this peripheral, and Wine is designed to run applications, not drivers.
We produce a web application. We need Windows because we need to ensure that it works in Internet Explorer 11 and Edge, which are components of Windows.
We produce a desktop application. We need Windows because we need to ensure before we ship that the Windows version works in genuine Windows and doesn't depend on bugs in Wine.
statistically speaking the best way to do that is to take the bus
Statistically speaking, in my city, 0 percent of crashes at night, on Sundays, or on a major holiday involve a bus because the buses are not even running. So statistically speaking, what's the best way to use the road while preventing crashes at those times?
Slashdot Mirror
I prefer Mighty Mouse's ally, the bat who dresses up as a bat. Bat-Bat.
How about a wombat that dresses as Batman and is idolized by Pit? Captain N called it Wombatman.

"symbols" occupy less space
Not if you have to make the font bigger to keep the strokes from touching each other. By that point, you could have used a smaller font on the Latin.
Please name said software.
Any HTML renderer ought to be able to tell an element with lang="zh-Hans" (Chinese using simplified characters) from one with lang="ja" (Japanese).

Don't generalize your personal opinion.

Does multi-window mode on Samsung devices work with all apps, or just a small subset of apps that were developed by owners of Samsung devices?
Card payments can be accepted without power — that's what the raised numbers printed on the card are for!

How would an organization such as Major League Gaming go anything but "full proprietary"?
I don't see laptop makers other than System76 and Apple caring about anything but Windows.
Uh, Mac OS X? Linux? Etc.
My point was that there won't be many companies around from which to buy PCs compatible with those operating systems.
Say you have three apps. The best platform for app A is Windows. The best platform for app B is OS X. The best platform for app C is GNU/Linux. Should these three apps be run in a triple-boot on a MacBook or on three separate computers? And either way, how do you copy and paste among these three apps?
I'm suggesting that Microsoft makes a bad example by not including versioned autosave in the applications included with Windows.
AT ALL TIMES.

Notepad should ask you to save your work before the PC restarts. If it is not properly doing this
Then Windows has had a defect for over 20 years. Because Notepad is a Windows component, any defect in Notepad is a defect in Windows.
What would you do in the event of a power outage
Close the lid, which puts the computer to sleep. My laptop can go for days in suspend
Not all computers r laptops though.
When the UPS starts dinging, first you save your titled documents. Then you push the sleep key on the desktop PC keyboard and turn off the monitor.

Would it be valid to say any of these?
Then how are Xbox (2001) and Xbox One not "illegal throughout Europe"? They're also PCs with a locked bootloader.
A simple text editor in an environment without autosave has two levels of undo: "Undo" and "Revert". Autosave eliminates the latter.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR CAR AT ALL TIMES.
That's not so hard, is it?
Yes it is. See swoop and squat.
