You are confused between Android OS and Android Apps. But don't let that interfere with your bashing of "open" and love for apple's walled garden. Please continue.
The Earth, too, is a walled garden. The US is a free country, but only from sea to sea. But, please, let's not generalize. How did Apple personally fuck you over with their walled garden? Because it seems like they just don't need any more great developers... nearly every cool feature exploited has at least a few decent apps to cover it. What were you gonna do that the "walled garden" stopped you from doing? (What almost comes to mind is.... damn... escapes me... what was it Morrison used to say about doors?) Or what is it that you THINK you MUST HAVE that Apple has forbidden? And how often is it on another smart phone that you are perfectly capable of doing this cherished activity, and what is it's true frequency of use?
All Apple has done is narrowed the field a bit, to figure out what the most common things are that most people want... and then they focused on perfecting that. Rather than being all things to all people, they try to enable the best things for most people. And now the curve is very steep.
Not quite. What I am saying is it is absurd to draw attention to barely detectable withdrawal symptoms, when WE KNOW it is safe... and 10K+ years of humans using it for all sorts of reasons pretty much proves this. What we have is a population of the extremely biased (and incorrect) socially stigmatifying the use of cannabis because of repeated falshoods (such as "it is a gateway drug"). Cannibis is a miracle drug if ever there was one, yet the moral majority believes it is more correct to control the way other people perceive something because they are disgusted by "potheads." It is far more socially acceptable to be addicted to atavan or oxycontin or ambien, when we have not yet learned the consequences or such prescriptions or addictions, nor any other "miracle" chemical that has been discovered, or invented, approved and pushed out by Big Pharm through doctors... within less than a decade.
The withdrawal from marijuana is nothing at all compared to the withdrawal from coffee, or even television. What you incorrectly believe was actually entirely made up by racists in the 1920s, and perpetuated by McCarthyists. To say cannabis incurs no withdrawal whatsoever would be more correct than exaggerating the extremely minor, usually unnoticed, symptoms.
Even Federal Judges at the DEA, reviewing the testimony of experts, have deemed that it is relativeyharmless, and ruled it should be legal.
Um... this is bullshit. Chocolate, caffeine... now these are particularly known to cause extreme physical and psychological dependency in nearly all humans. Cannabis? Not really, not so much. Depends on the person, as most things are habit-forming to the addictive personality, So, yes, nevermind this often repeated yet nonetheless incorrect information. Instead, we can theorize that there would be no United States today if not for the colonial cannabis crop. Or we can talk about how George Washington was rather preoccupied by his personal crop. Or we can stay on point and discuss how one of the most useful medicines of all time has been systematically demonized by racists, unscrupulous newspaper barons and the likes of Joe McCarty. Let's get the truth out there, and leave the fear behind.
Why is accuracy always dismissed as merely being semantics, as though using proper linguistics and meanings were unimportant and trivial? Without semantics, everyone would be a babbling idiot. Semantics is of the utmost importance in intelligent discourse.
I humbly recommend that if you succeed at your discipline, and become licenced, that you pay more respect to experienced registered nurses than you have shown for language and how it's understood. Both can, and more than likely will, save your ass.
What? We're running out of IPv4 addresses? Why are we only learning this NOW? This is an outrage! Why haven't tech sites told us about this problem sooner...say, several times a year?
LOL Sarcasm aside... wouldn't it be better not to tell anyone? Just let them... how do I say this... movie metaphors might help... like letting them remain asleep inside the Matrix, or Inception style, dreaming inside their dream, or IPv6 is "oh, this is the real party" from Brain Candy. Then the NEW IPv6 Internet could be Flash-free! No more click fraud on pr0n sites! Just think of it!
they opened it up to include HTML5 and JavaScript. That's not so great
Totally. This has also completely ruined the web.:P I wouldn't blame the language because the poet sucks, nor the tools because the craftsmen suck. But you go ahead. IMHO, RIM sucks all on it's own without having to blame apps, languages or coders. In that way, RIM is kind of like life...
So far I've never met anyone who didn't have the urge to jump off a building after being forced to use it.
liez. Most coders that use it are quite fond of it. It was designed by coders for coders. And you are not forced to use it... you can code ObjC with a text editor or pencil and paper for that matter. Most people don't like change, however... so if you're just not plastic enough to learn a new process, your opinion is understandable and acceptable, but not your projection. But this is just my opinion, so I'll use your bullshit philosophy to say this is how most people people feel.
IMDB has a very clear rule requiring traditional distribution in order to make their site.
I thought it had more to do with being within six degrees of Kevin Bacon... otherwise, YouTube and other sites would cause massive data storage and retrieval problems.
Arteries don't deliver blood either, no more than a riverbed transports a river or the fish within it. And even if you were correct, the notion of blood delivery would be incidental and wrong headed. The blood delivers oxygen from, and returns carbon dioxide to, the lungs. The heart is what moves the blood.
Yes... but the average speed of the TGV on real journeys is a lot less - 279 km/h (173.6 mph) according to Wikipedia.
Please note that while one might be skeptical of Wikipedia's information, as anyone can edit the pages, it seems that even as proficient as chinese government propagandists are at altering reality, and even as proficient as chinese government hackers are at exploiting the mountains of Window's vulnerabilities, they have not yet deciphered the arcane complexities the wiki edit, which invariably seem to require a flame war. Perhaps they are ramping up their offensive and defensive resources before an attempt...?
Well, the Chinese are more innovative at keeping a static population through procreation, and at having only male children, also, at selling organ-killing baby formula on the cheap, and they are pretty innovative at suicidally intense societal pressures, and at pushing their students to achieve in the medieval and abstract and ultimately meaningless arena of 'grades' (WWAD). You gotta give them that. I like Chinese.
Or to put it another way, it's vaporware. If the device needs to connect through the dock, then the manufacturer will need to get approval from Apple, and will need to license Apple's proprietary dock technology. Let's hope they dot their eyes and cross their teas... and stick with the developer agreement... so if Apple rejects their design for no good reason, they can at least file some sort of lawsuit, ala google apps, and don't just start selling it without Apple's approval, and get sued back into vaporware.
Hey... I thought it was clear that slashdot was an American based, American centric summary site. Ok, pretty cool I guess... if I get a new iPhone and find myself cycling in UK... with a mountain of money to pay for overseas roaming.
My wife was born that size/premature, so it happens from time to time.
Just... wow. I've heard of robbing the cradle... but buddy, robbing the womb is just wrong. At least give a lady a chance to be born before you make her life miserable.
Slashdot Mirror
ah, ad hominem, I know thee well.
No, clearly you don't if you thought the GP's response was ad hominem.
let me point it out to you:
You get short-tempered and agitated from turning off the TV? Holy shit. Kill your tv now, man.
Go smoke a blunt and talk about it some more
Even though you don't notice... Ask your girlfriend what you're like...
See it now? Those responses are not in any way related to my argument; they are personal attacks.
Done! Now we just need to run some FTL contact leads...
ha ha, go anti-apple mods (this is the flaimbait, not the parent)

thus my /pedant tag... did I call that wrong? damnable syntax!
ah, ad hominem, I know thee well.
I can do it, too... check this out: You are quite obviously of extremely low intelligence.

Since they're stuffed with acetaminophen / paracetamol / Tylenol (whatever you like to call it)
I prefer APAP, just because it sounds dirty
perfect!
Haha, cute, but the mice are dead, and the classic scenario will not apply...
and what about the (black) plague fleas, Mr. Smartypants?
can you give it enough mass to make it into a decent flywheel?
no problemo
that's semantics.

They should call out the Mythbusters. It looks like Archimede's death ray may have been vindicated.
lt is already silently vindicated. What is solar-thermal energy other than an applied Archimedies Death Ray?
