... people with Apple products tend to be quite pleased with themselves. FTFY ; ) I think if you observe closely, you will find the same smugness to be prevalent in Linux Users, Windows Users, etc.
No, same or equivalent app, from same vendor in many cases. Pocket CAS, Emu48, and Math Studio, were all free on WM none (full featured to meet my needs) are free on Android, and the first two were far better implemented under WM. A couple of bucks over and over again adds up. The bottom line is that I spent equal amount on offline GPS Navigation and decent Office Suite in WM and Android and then had to replace dozens of free and very cheap WM apps with their equivalents and the total cost for Android apps was over twice that of the WM apps.
Windows Mobile was a better platform in many regards than Windows Phone 7. 95% of the programs I had for the earliest WM hardware and software ran fine on WM 6.5 (a span of nearly a decade), and they cost a fraction of the apps for Android, iOS or WP7. Microsoft is right to drop legacy support periodically, but they shouldn't have done it between 6 and 7 and again between 7 and 8.
The greater irony is that others rated your comment as humorous (+4 Funny as I respond) and didn't see the outcome you suggest as the one all of us should hope for. Hopefully, he (Cuccinelli) will prevail on appeal. In which case, hopefully those who choose to make Cuccinelli's life miserable with disclosures of FOI requested data from his office will also prevail. As it stands currently, Cuccinelli, and anyone else working for the state, could abuse the citizens of the state of Virginia with little chance of being exposed.
I think you've placed the jackboots on the wrong feet. Freedom of information request denied, and I'll paraphrase here, "because he was just doing his job." The argument didn't stand at Nuremberg, and I hope it won't stand today. And WHO gets to say if he WAS doing his job? If there is an exemption to the freedom-of-information law that 'applies to faculty communications in furtherance of their work' then the only emails we could see would be the personal communications unrelated to work? What possible value would such a law have? We have freedom of information laws to guarantee the public's right to examine the actions of those who (are supposed to) work for us. I don't like Cuccinella's tactics one bit, but the court action defies common sense, and both the letter of the law and the intent of the law.
I do not believe Mr. Jefferson would be proud of his University for its actions in this case.
The article misstates the "majority view." The majority view (shared by devout Jews, Christians and Muslims, who vastly outnumber linguists) is that the homeland of all languages is the plain of Shinar, where the Tower of Babel was built. Of course, those same people soundly reject Darwin's theory of evolution, so perhaps the weight of the majority's opinion is not necessarily a great indicator of the truth.
I am embarrassed that (what I can only assume are) Apple fanbois come up with such outlandish comparisons.
They're not even close to beating Vista. Vista is ONE VERSION of Windows, so the valid comparison is against ONE VERSION of OS X - that would be OS X 10.7 @ 2.29% vs Vista @ 6.15%. Of course the more telling comparison would be the newest OS versions which would be OSX 10.8 @ 1.34% vs Windows 7 @ 38.54%. or all versions of the two about 6% vs 82.47%. Now in the mobile market, Apple's iOS is kicking butt. And that impacts the future of OS X in a very negative way.
When an individual crosses over the boundary from reporting the news into actively and willingly becoming part of the story, his claim of "freedom of the press" goes away.
Your understanding of the first amendment needs refreshing since you seem to believe that this freedom applies to "the press," i.e. credentialed or recognized journalists - it applies to every citizen equally. Freedom of the press means that each of us have the right to publish and distribute information through any medium.
Credibility? No as a blogger, he either chose words to incite or he needs a thesaurus. "Cavalier" is the word he wanted not "liberal." He should have stuck with "risk averse" instead of "conservative." Liberals are frequently risk averse; otherwise they wouldn't want the social safety net of healthcare - that is far from cavalier. Conservatives are frequently cavalier otherwise they might consider the ramifications of AGW in spite of weak evidence.
Cavalier is, "So what if a little shit gets in your hamburger."
Risk averse is, "If shit gets in the hamburger we'll have to throw it out, so don't let shit get in the hamburger. Keep the hamburger away from the shit. Keep the shit away from the hamburger. Don't sell hamburger with shit in it. Don't buy hamburger from someone who might let shit get in the hamburger. Cook the hamburger until it's well done, just in case it has shit in it." It's a series of rules to keep everyone out of trouble.
Liberals variously want us to feel good about how little shit there is in the hamburger; start a governmental body to regulate how much shit should be in the hamburger; figure out a way to pick the shit out of hamburger; eliminate the hamburger adulterating the shit; claim that shit is hamburger; etc.
Conservatives variously want to make those responsible pay for having shit in the hamburger; want to allow as much shit in the hamburger as the free market will allow; claim that shit in hamburger is God's will; claim that shit is hamburger; etc.
Note how both conservatives and liberals are likely to stumble across a "solution" that isn't.
IANAL, and clearly YANAL, because that is just plain wrong. The signs have varied impact depending on the state. In South Carolina, the sign must meet be posted conspicuously, meet specific size requirements and have a specific phrase and artwork or it carries no legal weight. In North Carolina, the requirement is merely "... notice that carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited by the posting of a conspicuous notice..." In both cases violators can be arrested for carrying a weapon illegally - essentially carrying without a permit since a valid notice supersedes one's concealed carry permit. In Kentucky, violating the notice is not a criminal act. Unless you know the letter of the law in a particular state, you should assume that any prohibition has legal weight.
No, it proves that you failed to communicate because you don't seem to understand that bad grammar, improper punctuation, misspelling, and other issues are barriers to effective communication. Communication is a highly imperfect activity at best, and you wish to offload a portion of your burden onto the recipient of your communication. You choose to believe it is a character flaw in me because you do not accept responsibility for your own actions - that's sad and twisted. You write sloppy code that segfaults and you really blame the computer? BTW, it is segfault, not seg fault.
It makes you look like a pretentious fool to whom? Idiots who are willfully ignorant? If they choose not to associate with me then they have saved me the time of making that same choice.

VHS tapes can be had for $.25 apiece locally, and the players aren't much more.
I'd say it was just right.
Just bragging rights.

I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

Or they are using it as a means of getting back in the spotlight. I don't know which in this case, but usually it is as I have suggested.
Well of course the mammoth wasn't native to the bay area, the tooth was "brown, black and beige," obviously it was British.
Thanks for pointing to the earlier post, now we know he DOES have a shift key. Is there a way to filter e. e. cummings fanbois?

You may read and write those languages, but I bet you don't speak them.

You put a link "See also ..." to a notable nudist and there aren't pictures! What's the matter with you?

I got to "I'm suppose" in your post and the rest went yadda, yadda, yadda, TL/DR. You failed to make your point. It is "I'm supposed (by others) ..."
What part of "or" is so hard to understand? Are you related to Bill Clinton?
As you are a slashdotter, we can safely assume your having sex is purely hypothetical.
