Having just watch a conference full of mac users running around trying to find the right cables where I just plug the vga lead into my laptop, I think it's not the platform that makes the difference.
Why "pissed away"? If it saves lives of people who then go on to be productive, do well for themselves and spend their own money on charitable causes... you're going to end up with a better return in the long run than from investing in rich companies and giving away the interest on that. In terms of benefiting the poor, the best group to be giving money to is, surprisingly enough, the poor.
Such as what? Sound? Browser. Movies? Browser. Movies with sound? Browser. Board games? Browser. Stills? Browser. Live Chat (probably with someone's grandmother, but..)? Browser. Escorts? Browser. Live sex shows? Browser. Purchase and/or contemplation of Realdolls? Browser. Buying sex toys? Browser
Again: why is it, then, that the New York Times has an app, when they could do all this in the browser? Why, in fact, are there any apps at all?
I do. It's wonderful, it has all the features I need but takes about 1/3 the memory of OOo. Rather like using Konqueror rather than Firefox, or KMail rather than Evolution, or... you get the drift.
While those cover less actual news than the Mail, they do so a lot more objectively. The extent to which the Mail tells its readers what to think is scary.
When you're in a situation that's heading towards rape (heck, even just someone saying they're going to rape you), there's a natural tendency to "withdraw" from yourself, becoming completely passive, dissociating yourself from your own body sort of. So you'll say no, start crying, but you just feel like curling up into a ball and pretending it isn't happening rather than fighting physically. I'd guess it's some sort of psychological defence mechanism. It's unfortunate, but very real.
I could write a site to the CSS spec, and have it work in no browsers. (IIRC there is not a single extant implementation of CSS2). But in the real world, users tend to be unhappy with that. So you pick browsers to "support", which means "work around the bugs of".
"Manually"? Any remotely decent build system will let you automate the moc-running - heck, it's only a couple of lines in make, never mind anything more sophisticated.
Why not Pallas? Overall it's very similar to Vesta...
Not in hydrostatic equilibrium, is it?
What about only "sort of fusing" sub-brown dwarfs?
Sure, those are an edge case; it's not perfect.
In the case of planets "clearing its orbit" is very informative, very revealing - as far as we can tell it is related to their origin, mode of their formation and evolution.
Is it really? I don't know enough about this, maybe that definition is more useful than I thought then. Intuitively it seems like whether a planet cleared its orbit would be more of an "accident of history"; it's also much harder to test for a newly discovered planet. If it's associated with details about the composition etc., wouldn't it be better to define a planet in terms of these details?
Sure, but the difference between an iphone and similar open platforms is pretty minor. We're not talking life or death here, nor the difference between being employed or not. There's what, a slightly smoother general "experience", and a handful of games that are iphone-only. As I say (above post was accidentally anonymous), you can't care much about freedom if that's enough to give it up for.
As with many things, in Japan there's a bit more of a continuum. You and the submitter might want to look at the "visual novel" genre, a kind of barely-interactive gaming that reminds me of nothing so much as "choose your own adventure" novels. But it can be a great storytelling medium, and the interactivity is often at the right level. I'd particularly push Phantom of Inferno and Ever17: The out of Infinity, though both are pretty hard to track down legitimate English copies of these days.
excepting that you specifically define "this generation" as "consoles of any technological standard, whose north-american release date occurred proximal to 2006"
There's nothing specific about that. A generation generally means a group of people born (so by extension objects created) around the same time; this is the standard definition, the only one that it makes sense to be using.
Individuals certainly are responsible for their own choices anyway, even if you can accurately simulate 100% beforehand what they're going to choose.
We accept that people under certain circumstances (the insane, the young, more controversially those on drugs) have diminished responsibility for their actions. If someone's actions are caused by external circumstances, how can you hold them responsible for them when they couldn't have prevented them?
And this care haven't started, by chance, just after the recent decision about Pluto?
Nope. Happened as a kid, when I read my history of mathematics.
NVM that we have yet to establish with certainty that Vesta shape is due to hydrostatic equilibrium
So we need to learn more; not something I'd object to
and what about the Sun? It is big enough to be round too, was considered one)
It's big enough to fuse, which puts it in a different category. It's not history I care about, it's clarity of definitions, and I think the hydrostatic equilibrium one is a lot clearer to apply and more informative than this "clearing its orbit" notion.
Because the mainline refuses, at length, to provide a stable API for the package to target. The kernel documentation basically says "if you think you want a stable API, you actually want to get your package into the mainline kernel (and if your licensing terms won't let you do this, your problem)." To which my response is: fine, but in that case it's your responsibility to accept any and all reasonably coded modules, even if only a tiny proportion of users will want to enable them.

But Apple won't let you buy directly from $PUBLISHER
Because the sole measure of how well an economy is doing is unemployment, right?

Citation needed. Do you have any reason to believe this was government pressure rather than a decision by paypal themselves?

WTF? AWT exists for only one platform - Java - and hardly anyone's using it there.
There is at least some attempt to make C# bindings for Qt, and IIRC there are java bindings too.

Anyone who stuffs radioactive rods in their pants is gonna get what they deserve without any need for the judicial system.

Nor is it ZFS's fault that linux uses a more restrictive license than solaris.

(Yes, I know that's not quite true, esd is similar).

If those are your criteria I'd think you'd prefer assembly.
