I absolutely CAN keep my work inside of the 8 to 5 workday, but the fact that my boss gets the periodic email at 1am saying that some code is now ready for testing when everyone comes in later in the morning, means that when he calls me at 11am, and I tell him that I am about to go into a movie with my son, he tells me to just call him when the movie is over.
Employees complaining about being expected to work after hours is a sign that the management has failed. Shutting down after hours email is a declaration that they are incapable of succeeding.
That is only maybe true in the pedantic sense. The dictionary does not define a difference. The whole "Innovation != invention meme seems to be about repeating a lie often enough that everyone else goes along with the new definition and starts repeating it themselves. How that new definition differs from the old one is a matter of cognitive disassociation.
You have the choice both before and after installation. If you know before you do the install, then you just use the Kubuntu install disk. If you decide after the install, you run the apt-get command. Having only two point that you make the choice instead of 3 doesn't mean there is not choice.
T-Mobile will give you very close to that price on an Android phone with unlimited talk, text, long distance, and data. You will likely get better coverage to boot.
That's why they need to build them so that you can tow a generator to charge while you drive. Electric for day to day, and for the long trip, you hook up the trailer and gas up.
Yes she was first in line. That is why she would have had to pull into traffic instead of pulling into other cars stopped that were parked around her. No, she didn't panic. She was fully stopped at a red light. No one is hiding facts from you. You are just so busy looking for reasons to insult people that you are not thinking about what you or others are saying. Even bringing up a yellow light is a perfect example. You were told that she was legally stopped at a red light. You then somehow try to turn it into a panic situation by bringing up a yellow light that was not part of the situation, nor ever suggested.
You still have not explained how you think cars move sideways without moving forwards. From your attitude, I have to wonder how many people you have run down, and then tried to blame them for not getting out of your way.
I assert that an alert driver would not know if the car approaching is going to stop or not until there was less than 0.5 before impact.
Since you called me a "lying sack of shit" for calling you out on your claim that she should have pulled into cross traffic, please explain how your reconcile your claim that a competent driver would move 6 feet to the side but that you also claim that the car would not move forward which would put her into the cross traffic.
What kind of car are you driving that can move 6 feet sideways without moving forward or backwards? And what kind of car are you driving that can go from a complete stop to 6 feet away in less than.5 seconds?
There are only two reasons a factory reset wouldn't restore a device.
1) The restore was badly coded. Since this involves erasing everything and putting a clean image on the device, that would require some exceptionally bad coding. If they couldn't handle that, there is no way that they should be trying to write code that locks people out of the device.
2) The hardware/software that was designed to prevent people from replacing the OS requires anyone wanting to replace their OS to dig into parts of the device that would not be necessary if the device wasn't locked in the first place.
The point is, devices get bricked because that is what the manufacturers want to have happen. The bios on a PC is it's boot loader. Because the boot loader on a PC doesn't try to block OS installs, people don't go hacking around in it. The same would be true for Android devices if the boot loader wasn't used as a lockout device. If the boot loader works, there is no reason that loading an OS on a phone should be any harder than it is on a PC.
The reason we have people bricking phones and not PCs is because the manufacturers have designed them with self destruction traps.
The problem is that you have it backwards. There is greater cost in providing hardware and developing software to try and prevent people from getting root access. Warranty costs would only go down, as there would be no bricking devices. Unlike now where people are trying to get around the expensive attempts to prevent root access. Support costs would go down, as fixing the phone would not even require a phone call. It is ridiculous to think that customers would get pissed at running a recovery to get their phone working again, but not get pissed at having their phone just permanently broken.
Your friend with a Kindle did not have an authorization to return the device after about 30 seconds. It takes longer than that to give them the shipping address. The time it takes to look up the number, dial it, wait for someone to pick up the other end, explain what is wrong, get the authorization number, and supply the shipping address is going to take you closer to a half an hour.
On the other hand, plugging the phone into a USB port on a PC and copying over a file is going to take closer to 10 minutes. For that small percentage of people that attaching to a computer is not possible, they could take it back to the carrier's store and have it fixed, or in a worst case scenero, they could do exactly what your 'friend' did.
"Added cost to the manufacturer, no benefit to 99.9% of the users, and zero benefit to the manufacturer" are all very good reasons to stop spending huge amounts of money and effort in building complex locking systems into the devices and just put in a much simpler recovery mode.
There is no good reason that it shouldn't be. It would be trivial for the device manufacturers to build their Android devices with a recovery mode. Sure, it might be a USB flash drive, or microSD card instead of a DVD, but the principle is the same.
There would be no need for a separate marketplace. The current marketplace will filter based on device. The only apps that should have a problem with a processor change are the ones that use the NDK. This is why I would rather have developers stick to the standard SDK whenever possible. Processors will get faster, but they don't become more compatible.
It would be trivial to make bricking your device darn near impossible. How many PCs do you see getting bricked by software upgrades? It is almost unheard of.
Making the devices so that the OS could be replaced AND that the device could trivially be restored in the event that the replacement OS fails would be simple. The locked down path that device manufactures take makes bricking a device MORE likely than if the device was open.
The first hurdle to declaring Google an abusive monopoly is to find them as a monopoly. Certainly they are the market leader, but are they really a monopoly? Is Bing's market share small enough to say that they don't count?
Since importing the game would be just as much an illegal activity as copying the game, importing is not a legitimate solution. I'm sure that EA's official stance is that they don't want you committing a crime to play their game anyway.
I have heard of it. What you said was just so stupid that it is hard to believe someone would seriously say it, but your post didn't imply that you were joking. You may think you are a good driver, but the fact that you think pulling out into a busy intersection is a good idea, or that a stopped vehicle could even come up to speed fast enough to do so, shows that you have very little grasp on how the physical world around you works, and thus are clearly over confident in your abilities.

You have made your position and intelligence level absolutely clear. Good job.
That's why they need to build them so that you can tow a generator to charge while you drive. Electric for day to day, and for the long trip, you hook up the trailer and gas up.
No, the premise is that rich people can have other spare cars for when they want to drive more.
The funny part of that is that I had a 2 seater Geo Metro. Some insurance companies wanted to rate it as a sports car.

No, but it will take your children away for it.

Or you could just buy a Fire.
