Flexibility is a problem? The issue is the hardware manufacturers lack of support, not google's fault.
What is your alternative, windows mobile phones? Iphones? Surely the results there have been great, with jailbreaking due to inconsistent versioning on the iphone and basically nobody using winmo (because it's crap).
ageism, by definition, is discrimination by basis of age. Although it's more fought against by the older group (as they have more resources), the younger group is by default included into this.
Meanwhile, some countries such as Australia don't even like treated the adults like adults, so you can imagine how ass backwards things are. I'm referring to the "you can't buy adult rated video games even if you're an adult" laws and the "protect the children" laws which affect adults (censorship).
I don't consider australia a part of asia myself, but considering that new zealanders are practically asian/pacific islanders and are basically your neighbors, it's understandable where they infer this.
a lawsuit could probably turn this around pretty easily of people were willing to do it. That of course, is it's own problem: in order to turn around bogus crap, you have to spend exorbitant amounts of money just to turn around small stupid inconveniences that chip away at your rights.
I mean we're talking 720p is 1280x720. That's not exactly high resolution when you think of what the average monitor from 1990 or even 2000 can do, let alone now.
sorry, I didn't want to have to define it, and thankfully slashdot did.
These kinds of people lead to all sorts of problems, and sadly they represent what people think of with americans too. As a worldly american who is not an idiot like that, I feel sorry for other countries when they see travelers like that.
As a question/possible debate, I don't understand: why is necessarily finishing college early related to retirement age? Wouldn't that go against trends that people are working for longer both due to when social security kicks in and due to the fact that lots of people do prefer to work their entire lives?
Have you ever gone a year with financial stability but not having to work at all? I am implying earlier retirement. It sounds great, but it's the most boring thing that exists. I managed it when I was 20, and the parties, the clubs, the self improvement, I did more stuff that year than most people do in 10, and it was still the most boring experience in my life once the charm wore off of doing all that stuff.
beyond your concept of maturity I can't help but ask: what does this type of maturity have to do with scholastic ability?
I digress but I don't see a link between the two concepts.
Yes, the everyone is a winner thing is bullshit. It's not all over the US, it's specifically prevalent with helicopter parents and seriously religious ones.
Really, the system is good, and it's something that's already possible in the us - this is just kinda like bringing it as a potential to all schools - this is a good thing.
some of that maturity aspects people are just going to learn with age and experience, whether they go to college at 12,16,20,24,26, or any other age. Really, trying to pull age discrimination on this is just trying to imply that there is actually something of value in high school that can't be achieved in college.
this just makes a formality something that was already possible. You can take college classes before even having a GED, but they wont' give you a degree without obtaining one. I don't remember the specifics, but that's the basic principle.
This stuff, 10base2 (10mb/s max) is slower than what he currently has over wireless. So why spend $200 when you can maybe spend $40 on all the Cat6 (via monoprice) and have the house wired with crap that can do more?
PS: why do people even suggest cat5e? it's not like cat6 is significantly more expensive
I'd love to see a cite for where you get your numbers from, because I'm super skeptical of them otherwise. Remind me again why places like Japan and China should, by name alone, be the only reason that they have significantly higher speeds available for cheaper than we do here? Oh right, it's because they introduced competition. Meanwhile we're still way behind on installing fiber, etc due to franchise agreements in the US which are killing competition.
Example: metropolitan areas have higher densities than japan or china, yet the max connection speeds available are significantly slower and more expensive. There's no excuse for this. Chicago should have some of the fastest internet for the public in the world on density alone, and yet only the universities and colleges have the kind of speeds the public *should*.
Microsoft only, and only played nice, when they said that Windows 7 europe might be restricted due to browser issues. The rest of everything was song and dance. Remind me how long the samba case was going on?
can we please drop the average consumer crap? Usage trends for internet are completely unpredictable even on a year to year basis, age group basis, or otherwise. So when people think DSL speeds are good enough, they're trying to define average consumers. It doesn't exist. This is like saying "the average user isn't a gamer" or "the average user just burns bandwidth on youtube" or "the average user just browses the web and sends email".
Also, 10 years from now 100mbps might be not that different from how dsl is now. Really, we already have 50-100mbps connections available in some areas (slowly becoming less spotty), so 10 years from now might be 300mbps or something. Gigabit routers = non issue there. Heck, everyone has at least a 10/100 router at home which can (and is specced to do so) handle 100mbps.
wow, that's so many facts. you know, that battery life part doesn't matter considering that someone who is listening to music while doing something else might have it....oh, whats the phrase? plugged in? Able to plug it in later? irrelevant? Nice try.
try any of those.
tethering and carriers is bullshit. Why would they offer tethering plans if they can't handle it? Please remind me what
are again, exactly? Remind me why the tethering plan is twice the cost of a data plan with exactly the same 5GB maximum allotment?
Flash: 1fps flash has nothing to do with it. I don't want flash on my device, but that was a big apple selling point was "we'll get flash one day" and one apple fans use frequently. I'd rather see HTML5 with ogg vorbis and yahoo using ogg vorbis. Decent flash support could be done if the companies (including adobe) take up the task. Again, I don't want it, but others do.
I live in one of the best transit systems in the us - right outside of chicago - and I still don't have a train that takes me remotely close to my work. Trust me, I'd take one in a heartbeat over using my car, but it's simply not realistic.
Microsoft tried to do a hostile buyout of Yahoo. Yahoo's CEO was forced to resign and a Microsoft sponsored individual - Carol Bartz - Sponsored by Carl Icahn - replaces Yang. Now MS has a revenue deal with Yahoo, magically approved almost immediately after Carol comes in, and you don't think it's suspicious?
Next Ubuntu does a deal with Yahoo and you don't suspect anything suspicious?
The fud is you, my good sir.
Also Debian has not found it legally safe to keep Mono, lest you keep your spin in another thread, my microsoftie. Mono is legally unclear - much like any other microsoft covenant.

The article is flamebait.
oh, so you mean the ones never substantiated?
it already did. From Meedan:
That or it's my work's filter.

considering that they official said previously that it was never used and are now admitting to less than 50 uses, they're pretty screwed.

also it's hard to meet women when you wear a mask that says anonymous coward on your dates.

anything less than 1080p isn't high def either.

the kind of permanent ties you're referring to are common in business/enterprise wiring, not even remotely as much in residential.

I don't hear of a lot other than fspot and defunct tomboy, that require mono (aka .net runtimes).
Again, do we really need .net runtimes in linux, with the legal risks they create?

Why would they care? The current fine was a slap on the wrist as far as financial penalties go for MS.
Yahoo deal not dangerous? So let's recap.
Microsoft tried to do a hostile buyout of Yahoo. Yahoo's CEO was forced to resign and a Microsoft sponsored individual - Carol Bartz - Sponsored by Carl Icahn - replaces Yang. Now MS has a revenue deal with Yahoo, magically approved almost immediately after Carol comes in, and you don't think it's suspicious?
Next Ubuntu does a deal with Yahoo and you don't suspect anything suspicious?
The fud is you, my good sir.
Also Debian has not found it legally safe to keep Mono, lest you keep your spin in another thread, my microsoftie. Mono is legally unclear - much like any other microsoft covenant.
along with that question is : "do we really need fspot in the default installation?"
