So... By that logic native English speakers are the cause of most breaches of world peace, and should therefore all be forced to learn and use a second language?
Which I believe is the point. As long as your stuff will work on regular mainstream Android you're fine. This gives an incentive for actors like Amazon, RIM and so on to kep their stuff fully compatible.
I used to use Panasonc Let's Note machines. They're really "ultraboooks" long before Intel coined the term. Netbook size but full-powered laptops. I was pretty happy with them (paid in part by work, so the cost wasn't a big issue).
Last year I got an Android tablet. Cheap and nasty, but still surprisingly useful, so I upgraded it to a Nexus 7 when it became available. When it was time for me to get a new laptop I realized that they overlapped quite a lot. The _really_ portable use-cases - check email and my schedule on the road, read stuff and so on - are now all covered by the N7. I didn't need to accept the compromises of an "ultra"-anyting any more.
So I got a Lenovo T430, and maxed it out for memory and storage. It is a much better laptop than a netbook or ultrabook. On the other hand the N7 is a much better ultraportable data terminal. They complement each other beautifully. I'm not saying it's the right kind of combination for everybody (with a netbook or ultrabook you have a single device, not two) but it's a thing worth keeping in mind.
..or get raped by somebody that is infected.Or get a blood transfusion from somebody that turned out to be infected. Or cut yourself on something with blood from an infected person.
It _is_ overrated by quite a lot of people, in the sense that they believe stereo vision is the be-all end-all of depth perception.
Reality is more complicated. We use stereo vision only as one depth cue among several others, and mostly in close-up situations. Apart from a few kinds of cases such as rapid, precise object manipulation it's not a particularly important one.
Consider that most animals do not have stereo vision (their monocular fields of view do not overlap) and can navigate a complex, cluttered environment just fine. As can people that have lost sight in one eye. And none of us has any trouble accurately estimating depth when watching a movie or television; that shows, by the way, that active parallax is not essential either.
Or do it the other way around: count the number of people present and facing the screen during commercials. Refuse to show the program if the number of viewers exceed that of the break.
Because you can connect an SD card reader, an USB memory or an USB hard drive for that matter, neatly resolving the original complaint which was about access to external storage: " (or SD card slot) ".
The thing is, the Windows switch wasn't the start of problems for Nokia. I believe it was the third or fourth time they'd anounced a new software platform only to abandon its fledging developer base a year or two later. For years they've seemed completely unable to stick to a specific platform, support it and the developers that rely on it. Every time they switched the platform in an incompatible way (such as Maemo to MeeGo or the GTK->Qt switch) they lost another chunk of developers.
It was quite obvious already before the Windows switch that the prudent thing to do was to wait and see if they can manage to support a single software ecosystem for a few years and at least one major platform update before committing time and effort to the companys products.
One promise of the Windows OS was that this platform churn would finally stop. The Windows 7 to Windows 8 debacle thus adds a delicious twist of irony onto the whole situation.
Actually, I could imagine having a 64-bit ARM Ubuntu laptop. Something fairly light-weight and long battery life, but with a number of cores (most CPU intensive stuff I actually do on my laptop is very parallelisable), plenty of memory and a largish SSD.
I meant what the other answer said; why create an ARM version at all unless you put it on their store.
But you raise an interesting point: If high-profile apps such as Minecraft are available for x86 but not ARM, what are the chances of the ARM platform ever taking off? Anybody who plays Minecraft will now effectively no longer consider Windows 8 and ARM. If more important apps go missing there may never be enough customers to make an ARM specific Windows ecosystem viable.
"I don't forsee any real future issues with getting your own apps on the ARM version. "
Why would a developer bother with an ARM version, though? With all the restrictions and the high likelihood that most users will be on X86, it doesn't look like a good way to spend your resources.
Isaac Newton also believed in the Philosophers Stone and wasted most of his career on alchemy, not on physics. Excellence in one area does not normally translate into excellence in another. Something, by the way, more than a few engineers should keep in mind before they start opining outside their field.
So... Prada, Chanel and Louis Vuitton can sell their goods at a huge markup due to brand cachet. That does not mean that the likes of H&M, Uniqlo or Zara are doing badly, or that aiming for lower margins is a bad idea.
Your next possible employer may well call them up to get feedback on your performance. Your current boss will of course give you a good recommendation no matter what, to avoid legal problems, but his tone, speech ticks and other subconcious clues will still tell them whether he likes you or feels hostile towards you.
You want your old boss to have warm and fuzzy feelings when remembering you, in other words, and a good way is to make sure he gets a glowing recommendation from you during the exit interview.
Probably fairly valuable clothes at the time. Few people ever actually saw money in their whole lives; a dowry would most likely have been in the form of clothes, cloth and similar things.
And those people would generally be correct. Them feds do like to feel special, just go take a look at all those special shops catering especially to them. Sure, the government does have functions that are more important than others, and of course they'll pay for it. Also, the government is notoriously bad at getting good deals, so there's another reason they pay over the odds. And wastage? Not everything they do is really that important. Just look at Belgium: Having to limp along without a government for over a year turns out to've been a boon to the economy. Not to paint myself libertarianal or whatever, just noting that a lot of rulery and fuzzbutting is essentially unnecessary and can safely be done without. Yes, them feds do fulfull roles that are hard to do otherwise, and yes, there's a price tag. Yes, they're also full of themselves and inconsiderate with other people's money.
I wrote three sentences. Three short, easy to understant sentences. Even that is too much for you to actually comprehend.
They can, and should. I can see how access is critical, especially during events that may knock out parts of the infrastructure. Paying for the access is both fair and in spirit with the economic system they are working within.
Of course, if they do so, some people will immediately point to their cost structure, compare it to the price paid by a novelty item manufacturer for hte same resources (minus any guarantees) and promptly declare that govermnent is inept, corrupt and wasting money.

Never heard of this project to be honest. Any idea when it'll be done and where it will be viewable? Any chance of it showing up in Japan somewhere?

Absolutely. Had Nokia had Android models that's where I would have looked first, even if it had meant having to grey-market import one here.

You mean nori? It's actually an algae that's been dried flat, not a seaweed as most people would understand it.
..as a proportion of such incidents in countries without that kind of security theater?
I love the Shadowrun game and setting â" except for the dice mechanics. Shadowrun with the D20 system mechanics would be great.

Hey, at least MS probably still owns the trademark.

"[...]a study of the _innaccuracy_ of it would be more enlightening, rather than a study of its accuracy!"
Just take (1-accuracy). Easy-peasy.
Just count each successful attack as another active user. I guess every bit helps when your stock value is on the line.
"So, you expect me to lie?"
Yes.

With enemies like this, who needs friends?
They can pay for first priority.
They can, and should. I can see how access is critical, especially during events that may knock out parts of the infrastructure. Paying for the access is both fair and in spirit with the economic system they are working within.
