I think that all religions should come up with moronic alternatives to Evolution, then we can force these people to consider them all, and compare all the theories of the rainbow. See how they like them cookies.
look the advantage is that you can all your files on one device, and you can encode all your mp3 files, without having to worry about keeping the cd around for quality.
when you do get a device or near a computer that can play the lossless format, you will automatically have an upgrade.
yes, there is an increased size, if you don't want that THEN DON'T FUCKING USE THIS. nobody is forcing you to use this, so fuck off and stop whinging.
Most of the people who drive big Ford trucks no NOT GIVE A SHIT about what anyone else does in the rest of the world. You do realise there are whole cities in the US where most people DO NOT HAVE a car at all (eg. New York). And most cities in Europe are like this, it is quite rare to own a car, because they have a great public transport system. So stop talking utter bollocks.
It is not safer, though is it. We have more fatalities in this country than they do over there with there larger populations, exactly for the reason you think will decrease this, because of "safer" cars. When everyone rides a bike/motorcycle, they are more careful, and less dangerous when they do crash.
The fact is that what people do in other countries effects the whole world, especially when it comes to pollution.
I don't drive a car, I ride a bicycle, and I wish everyone here and there would stop driving a car. You are all destroying my planet because you are lazy, and want to live far from work. I don't, but I am suffering from your decisions. That is how it becomes my problem, and I have the right to talk.
A better but less humorous analogy would be to consider that Intel and co can't keep increasing the top speed of a car, so they are putting more seats into your car. This works OK when you have lots of people to transport, but when you only have 1 or two, it doesn't make the journey any faster. The problem is, most journeys only consist of one or two people. What the article is suggesting is that we implement some sort of car-sharing initiative, we stop taking so many cars to the same destination. Or a bus!
How many complaints have we heard lately over the level of dreck in the iPhone App store?
Not that often, maybe once with the i am rich app. It is very easy to avoid the rubbish. There is a review and rating system, and there are top 10/25/100 lists all over the place, including on the iPhone/Touch itself.
About how hard it is to find the diamond in the rough
Easy, as I already said. Can't your read?
or how long it takes to get an app approved unless you are a big name and able to talk Apple into fast tracking the approvals?
I takes me a week to get my crappy, small time apps published. Lets see you beat that Nintendo. Why don't you tell us how long they take - oh, because you have no idea, and you are pulling this stuff out of your arse?
You are right, but Apple don't just sell iPhones, they also sell iPod touches, which run applications. They don't release the number of these that have been sold.
I always felt they gave travel to the wrong people. They always seemed to give it to people with families, who would rather stay at home. Now, I understand you don't send out your new guy who doesn't know anything, but they seemed to seek out the people who hated it the most.
I got to travel for work, and loved it. I went out after work, saw as much as I could, and tried to stay over weekend as well. I would have to pay extra for the hotel, but travel was still free. It sounds like you just rushed to get home as soon as you could, fair enough if you want to spend time with your family, but you miss out on seeing all the new things in a city.
This was the same in the UK, but I think it is more due to differences in the education system. After working with a lot of these honours/masters graduates, I can tell you they weren't any better than normal graduates I worked with in Australia. Some of them were disgraceful.
You are doing it wrong. By all means, work hard during the day, then go out and see the town at night, at your works expense. This is what I did all around Europe, and there were often people at the company willing to show me around.
There are two types in IT, people like you and me and a lot of people here, who love it. Started programming when they were kids rather than playing games. Found that producing something is a lot more exciting, continued to do this, and went onto University to continue this development. You might be like me, uni didn't teach me a lot about programming, but more about software development and databases.
Then there are the rest, who are no different to people in any other discipline. They don't love it, they don't do it in their spare time, they could just as easily have done geology, nursing or anything else, but they figured out they might get paid more in it. They are not bad people, they just don't love it.
I have worked your average boring jobs, I have also worked exciting consulting jobs where I was sent all over Europe to meet and talk with some really brilliant people.
I think we are being harsh on these new workers. Nobody has an idea of what work will be like when they leave University. You hope for the best, and sometimes you do get the exciting jobs. Most of the time you don't, and you learn that pretty quick.

Wow, you guys really haven't seen the Big Bus?? Does all that, power by nuclear reactor, and comes with a pool and piano bar.

pre-1991 was a good time for the Linux Community.
Knives kill people, but they aren't called Guns.
This is another method of control, just not DRM.
You don't have to do this.
There are advantages and disadvantages....you get to choose.
So choose no and fuck off your whinging.

What idiotic self-serving pampering. I wouldn't trust your memory to recall your name properly.
This populist bullshit may work well on Fox, so go peddle your shit there.

So, you are not retarded, yet you are not smart enough to realise that the new MBP have a two button trackpad.
Probably directly proportional to how nice you are to animals. In some places, they don't like it when you shoot animals for fun.

Ha, funny stuff.

Really? That is good, but I am pretty sure it doesn't do multitouch, which can be very handy on a device like iPhone/Touch.
You are right, but Apple don't just sell iPhones, they also sell iPod touches, which run applications. They don't release the number of these that have been sold.
In the article he mentions the new trim command, that will be similar to defrag I guess. But a lot quicker, and can be run internally on the drive.
And you can write a file system for these new drives, in the article he mentions how to do it as well.
I don't think you are in the right place.
Do you even know what a computer is?
Yes, I have worked with six languages: HTML, CSS, Javascript, AJAX, XML and TXT.
Don't understand why I can't get a job?

Do you even work? Or is this opinion based purely on your parent's basement?
You sound quite bitter, like that you actually have this special snowflake syndrome. You seem to believe that you were passed over?
