It often stands that an individual and their corporation stand at ends with each other. Individuals, such as Bezos, are not driven wholly by profits. Unfortunately, corporations are.
Besides the fact that this boils down to semantics, I'd say the iPhone is more than a phone as well. You can have your choice: either "Phone + MP3 player" or "SmartPhone". I'll not justify the latter, as it should be obvious. As per the former: Not many cellphones were built with these two use-cases in mind. Typically, the MP3 support is bolted on the side, much like camera support. The iPhone integrates the MP3 player and the phone elements wonderfully, both via the interface and the battery life.
While on the topic of fanboy-ism, SDK arguments are hot air. Apple announced a month ago that an SDK will be available early next year.
Of course, one could argue that everything man-made is arbitrary to some extent, but that devalues the semantics of that term for any meaningful discussion and is thus counter-productive.
Except in a philosophical discussion where such an arbitrary definition is the focus, and the other exceptions.
it just allocates it and stops anything else using it
This is somewhat misleading. It's true that no other programs can use the same virtual memory that a particular program allocates. However, if a particular page is swapped to disk, the physical memory can be used by another program. Furthermore, the address space is isolated per process, meaning that, sans OS 'interference', the same address space can be allocated to each program.
Another thing to be wary of: Most definitions of property are defined through common law, not statutory law. Statutory law paints "broad strokes" and overrides judicial precedent, but the details are defined judicially.
These are the same kids that would eat ice cream for dinner every day if they could and sometimes get into vans with weirdos when offered candy, right?
Children are in a peculiar state, as far as neuropsychology is concerned. On the one hand, they're incredibly intelligent, soaking information up like a sponge. On the other, they lack empathy until around 8-12 years old. They're completely self-interested, and physiologically unable to put themselves in another's shoes. They're able to rationalize, but don't have control of their emotions.
So, in a sense, both you and the GP are right. Kids are remarkably intelligent, but, as the saying goes, wisdom comes with age.
Amyone with an older sibling likely got beat up by that sibling, exposing them to violence quite readily. I remember giving my younger brother (as well as a cousin or two) hell quite a few times.
I can't argue for the present, but I'll discuss the historic context as it was explained to me.
In ancient days, modern medicine and sanitation were practically non-existent. The ban on homosexuality came about largely to prevent the spread of disease. (In fact, a great deal of Leviticus concerns itself with sanitation and hygiene.)
My parents loved the corner for 'short-term' punishments. In my opinion, the bitch of it all is standing versus anything else. Forget boredom; try being on your feet for upwards of 2 hours at a time. On the upside, my brother and I believe their absurd punishments and expectations have made life, thus far, a breeze. (For the record he's in the military and I'm an entrepreneur).
"Strutter" in GH2 was a pleasant surprise; WTF happened?
Activision, RedOctane, and Neversoft happened. Harmonix is run by a few music-crazy MIT grads who know what they're doing. The other companies are in it just for the money. In other words, we all witnessed the milking of a cash cow.
The mnemonic is an "open" ( O ) versus "closed" ( | ) electrical circuit. A circle could be seen as open, as the circuit appears to "break" as it passes through the center of the O. Meanwhile a closed circuit passes directly through the center of the line, unbroken.
I consider "he" gender-neutral as well, but it's still wrong (at least, in the US). According to the Oxford American Dictionary:
Until recently, he was used uncontroversially to refer to a person of unspecified sex, as in : every child needs to know that he is loved. This use has become problematic and is a hallmark of old-fashionedness and sexism in language. Use of they as an alternative to he in this sense : (everyone needs to feel that they matter) has been in use since the 16th century in contexts where it occurs after an indefinite pronoun such as everyone or someone. It is becoming more and more accepted both in speech and in writing and is used as the norm in this dictionary. Another acceptable alternative is he or she, although this can become tiresomely long-winded when used frequently.
What really irks me, though, is when a woman takes offense to being called a "dude".:-p
If you're paid wages, this makes sense. However, salaried positions typically expect you to put in "time as necessary". Great if you can get all of your work done in 20 hours a week, horrible if you expect personal time. In my US-centric experience, salaried professionals are always on the clock, even on vacation. It doesn't sound fair, but these positions are often quintessential to a business (or, at least, they should be), and thus they need to be on call if needed.
(7) Both hamper the profitability of media barons (See: William Randolph Hearst, et. al.), leading to
(8) Both forms of persecution being driven by mass media.
I'm beginning to believe that the first thing we should do to reform politics is to ban candidates to political offices from making any form of video during their run. The only televised appearances they'd be able to make are during a debate (no interviews, etc). They can spend that money trying to appeal to us through less emotional, more intellectual (or at least more thought-prone) media.
The main reason I want this, though, is to keep political mudslinging from polluting my consumerism.:-p

There's no reason to get indignant about it. We can't all be winners, you know.

Just yesterday, I noted this most delicious of ironies to my girlfriend.

I'm not a C++ programmer (Merely familiar with the language, from college), so I don't have a library to suggest, unfortunately.

And I do realize you were being facetious.
One of several ways.
The difficulty of each depends on your familiarity with the material.
Most games are marketed to people between the ages of 12 and 26. In other words, people in school with vast amounts of disposable time.
Awesome. I only make up jargon to sound baztastic.

This one's easy! He doesn't love or care about you!

That would be facetious ethnocentrism.

Is "Dude" now a bad word? (Seriously, I'm lost here.)
Eh, the dude abides.

So start a movement to put the tag spoofed_submitter or something similar.
