To say that, you first have to define "education". America is obsessed with "education", but has no interest in having accurate knowledge, or being able to figure new things out. Americans are in an education boom. The problem is that what they are being educated in is local mythologies. Most are not being educated on how to learn, or with any regard as to whether the information they are being "educated" with is accurate.
Being smart is still considered bad in American society. Being "educated" is considered good. The two are orthogonal issues.
That statement makes no sense. If 20% of the people want to use Android Apps on the desktop, that isn't the general case, but it would be ridiculous to say that it shouldn't be done because the other 80% don't care. Using that logic, virtually no software should be written.
Using the "Desktop Linux is too small of a market" is equally silly. There are tons of Linux desktop apps. Your argument is that none of those should exist either. It isn't even on the radar for a statement that can be taken seriously.
Finally, Android is not the Linux desktop. It may be one day, but it isn't today, and it may never be. By claiming that Android is the Linux desktop, you are acknowledging that there are Android applications that people want to run on the desktop. Thus contradicting your first statement, and showing that integrating an Android VM into the Linux desktop makes sense.
Because there are Apps that would work in either environment just fine. Just because you can think of a case that won't work doesn't mean that all cases don't work.
Given that he did not belong to the uber-race that he was promoting as the ideal, it seems pretty likely that he did in fact think he was doing the right thing.
So, do you say that same thing to people that are attacked by Rapists? "Stop teasing them?" You are one sick individual. Just as I said. Disgusting viscious individuals "Don't count" most dog attacks. They rationalize away that it must be the victims fault.
Truly disgusting and a danger to everyone around you.
I don't think anyone is hating the browser so much as they are hating the underhanded tactic of slipping in a software install with some unrelated piece of software in the hopes people will accidentally install it. Google is getting extra heat on this issue because people really do expect more of them.
I don't know about you, but I hear about people being cured of cancer all the time. I know several people personally that have been cured of cancers that would have killed them 5 to 10 years earlier.
I have personally been attacked by 4 different dogs, and I have seen dozens of other dog attacks. In almost 100% of the cases, the owners claimed that "It doesn't count", or "He's never done that before. I never expected it."
Delusional people like you are a danger to society. The dog rescue centers are going to be universally staffed by a self selecting group of delusional people like you.
The fact that you think it makes no scientific sense that dogs can bite people shows where your view of the world lies. Agression has not been bread completely out of ANY dog. There are dogs that are more agressive, and dogs that are less agressive, but none have NO agression. There are very few animals that won't attack a person if the feel threatened enough.
You are no better than the guy that thinks it is safe to shoot his gun off in town.
That is the part I think most people miss. MS isn't having problems because Gates left. Gates left because he had the "vision" to see that MS had peaked out with no where left to go but down and he wanted to leave before that became apparent.
Lotus Notes was great when Ray Ozzie first wrote it, and it is great today. Linking to sites criticizing a a versions that are 5 or more years old shows how far you have to reach to find a problem with it. Of course, if you look at most of the complaints, they are the exact same thing that MS and Apple get complemented for. Things like a screen full of chicklet icons. Apple moved to it with the iOS products, and MS is not talking about doing it with the entire Windows OS.
The things that Notes got wrong were:
* Making a system where the user and the developer were the same person. Many companies are still living with the fact that users wrote the applications. THAT is why so many people had application problems. Today I am watching my employer implement introduce this very problem with SharePoint after spending almost a decade cleaning up this mistake when they first installed Notes.
* Developing UI elements before MS took over the market, and not biting the bullet and accepting that MS won the UI battle. Many of the UI elements in Notes were developed before the industry standardized on MS's choices. So, people would complain things that worked differently than in Windows. Of course often they didn't even get that right. For example, the use of F9 in Notes to recalculate the screen. Ignorant people would complain that it was wrong because MS uses F5. Of course they would blissfully use the F9 key in Excel for the same task. Clearly a different set of standards are in play for some folks. Today IBM has given in and now assigns both F5 and F9 to recalculate the screen. That way the restrict the F-key complaints to the most dedicated of trolls.
* Bad marketing. Lotus, and now IBM have done a poor job at marketing Notes/Domino. Many people don't know that it isn't an email application. Others seem to think that it is still at version 4. Even you point to complaints about version 7 and earlier to point out that it sucks. There have been 3 major releases and a bunch of point releases since your example web sites were written.
The reason MS hired Ray Ozzie is because they tried and failed to write a competing application as good as Notes, and failed for over a decade. They hoped that Ozzie could finally get them there. His employment was MS's admission that Notes/Domino is awesome.
Also consider, that with TB, you won't have a dozen of them hanging off the back of your computer. If I went to a standard big box store and bought the cables to replace all of the USB cables connected to my desktop, I would likely spend more than $50.
eSATA is an obvious solution because it is basically a passive adapter. It isn't a killer new technology, it is just a more durable way of hanging your SATA ports out the back of your computer. It falls into the "why not?" category. eSATA will stop making sense when internal SATA is no longer in use.
You are a perfect example of why there is such a big problem. You would take a dangerous animal and give it to someone, telling them that it is a safe loving creature that won't maul some little kid. You are a danger to society.
A dog trying to cuddle up with an officer does not mean the animal is safe. Lots of abused animals look like they are well adjusted until a trigger sets them off. It could be a tone of voice. It could be a perticual smell. Abused dogs are NEVER safe to put back out in the public. Heck, dogs that have not been abused are not totally safe.
A dog is like a gun. They might be fun. Some were made for sport. Some for protection. Some to be man killers. If you treat it with care, you can enjoy having one without huge risks. If you don't recognize it as a weapon, there is a good chance someone is going to get hurt. Possibly killed. If you have one that has been badly abused, get rid of it. It is now an unacceptable danger to you and others. Not to mention, taking it down to the local park and letting loose with it around a bunch of little kids should be a criminal offense.
Because our system does not punish people for committing crimes. It punishes people for being an annoyance to the wrong person, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, having a penis, or not having enough money. This is one of the reasons the "unenforceable laws" are so bad. They whip them out when someone with influence wants to screw over someone without. The person the law is used against isn't being punished for breaking the law. They are being punished for annoying the wrong person.
It isn't the harsh sentences that are the problem. It is the inconsistent punishment. And a system that is designed to make sure that everyone is always in violation of some law.
Absolute BS. Claiming that punishment works requires you to believe that humans are dumber than worms. The reason that most punishments fail to improve behavior is because most of the time the punishment isn't for bad behavior. It is either randomly doled out, given to someone for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or because the person that does the punishing is being inconvenienced.
The criminal that "resents society for his punishment" isn't resentful because he got punished for something he did. He is resentful because he felt his punishment unjust.
I watch parents abuse their kids by letting them do the same behavior over and over, and then when putting them in "Time Out" when it starts to really get on their nerves, or annoys them in some other way. The let their kids run wild because it is politically incorrect to punish their children. Then they wonder why their child is a hellion, and mine is so well behaved.
I can honestly say that EVERY behavior problem I have with my child is either something new that we have never dealt with before, or I can identify my own failings in letting bad behavior slide. But then, maybe my experience isn't a fair comparison since my child isn't dumber than a worm.
There is something wrong with your computer hardware. As much fun as it was to point out older versions of Windows crashing, Windows 7 is solid as a rock on the stability front. The only Windows 7 computer I have run across that was prone to crashing was fixed with a box fan pointing at the motherboard.
OT: If you want burn your eyes out, try looking at a Mac for a week. My PC was having heat problems, so I have been working on a Mac for the last week. I am truly shocked at how bad the font rendering is on the thing. I'm sure they wanted to make sure that all of the fonts all looked smooth. Unfortunately, they smoothly blur between letters.

It has even more in common with Lotus Notes 1.0.
Or, you know... enforce the minimum wage.

It sounds like you have a problem with people who have sinus problems? Has someone with sinus problems treated you badly at some point?

No need. They already know.

So, the kid will learn something. Don't trust the legal system. The judges abuse their power.
