After WW II we chose to educate our returning soldiers.
Now it's time to realize that the number of Americans with degrees has been artificially kept too low, due to low birth numbers, but that the baby boomlet that followed the baby boom is aging into college years.
Man up.
Investing in the future is good for America.
Not investing in America is what destroyed the economy in the first place. Houses don't invent things. Houses don't employ people. People invent things and employ people.
The debate is pointless, in that Flash itself is dead, and HTML5 (and the upcoming HTML6) are where the industry is already going.
Wasting precious time debating it, or having a peace plan, is like France building a Maginot Line.
It won't work, and Flash will be crushed as the industry continues to move forward to an HTML5 future.
At best, it will only give lazy programmers a false sense of hope, as their industry, like Betamax or Palm or any of the other fallen-by-the-wayside prior technologies, dies off.
No, it was shift workers like me, wanting to record an entire shift worth of TV, so that we could watch it later.
We were the ones that could afford to buy time-shifting recording devices and had a need to do so, to try to maintain a normal life.
You need to think of who actually had the disposable income and the need for the devices back then. The other three things just accelerated our initial choice.
Back then I was a steelworker, working 4x4 shifts (2 12 hour days, 2 12 hour nights, 3.5 days off) - all of us had money, but we wanted to be able to come home and be with our families, and watch Roots or MacMillan and Wife.
When the Beta versus VHS wars were going strong - I had one of the few VHS RCA VCRs on my block. (really long block actually, about half a mile long)
Technically, the Beta VCRs were better, but it's really a market choice, and this is similar.
As we can see from the fall version of the iPad, some of the features in the Courier are in that version, or analogs thereof, such as a video camera (in the fall iPad it's a forward facing optional unit, as you can tell by the iPhone that got jacked and the design of the internal iPad h/w). Others aren't at this time.
Over time, expect the useful and marketable features of the Courier to be added, but for now, if you've got a Beta, it's time to realize switching time is here.
As believers in the original Second Amendment to the US Constitution, we believe that when God created America from the corpses of Mammoths and Giant Slugs, He endowed all bears with the rights to be armed.
By depicting an unarmed bear, the most holiest of creatures, as Mohammed, South Park is poking fun at a holy bear.
We demand all followers of Mohammed be set free in the forest, smeared with honey, and that bears armed with chainsaws and shotguns be allowed to eat them all.
Only then will our religious objections be met.

Not unless you received the same dirty tricks hand to hand infantry combat training I got right before the Falklands War or something similar.
Being used to a gun, and firing it is not the same as keeping the weapon or being able to fire it in a crisis combat situation.
You're still more likely to have it used against you by your relatives and friends, even if you take a lot of precautions.
Is it? During my first high school classes in computer programming, we would get say 20 assignments for the course. I frequently would do the problem two or three different ways and turn in all the solutions, and thereby earn extra credit.
Sometimes the actual instructions are fairly vague. Students should never be presumed to have implicitly understood what they've been instructed, unless you verify their comprehension of the instructions.
That said, most modern films and TV shows glorify hackers and people who reuse code, so we shouldn't be surprised if they follow the cultural norms where bankers are supposed to rip off their customers and politicians and lawyers routinely lie.
1. When stating how much software "costs" they always use the list - or highest price, which is usually a multiple of the actual end-user site license cost.
2. They don't allow for typical disk-to-disk archival backups. Most modern sites use archival backup strategies, and copy data from disks to allow for recovery when a primary disk fails. This gives you two or three "software" copies, when in fact only one is used, the other two being archival - one on the same computer, the other on another (backup) computer. Only one license and one copy is actually in use.
3. They don't count educational site licensing. We've run into this where we purchase a three copy site license to use the software for students, and the terms state we can have three copies running at the same time, but the licensing was a via a purchase certificate online. At no time were more than three copies running.
4. The more they present a "problem" the more they can justify the audit and any fees. There is no incentive to correctly count licenses, only to ignore valid and different licenses, as this increases the total count and thus the punitive aspects.
When the most optimum solution to any problem is frequently the same code, and the same exact question gets asked every single time for that course, is it cheating or is it just optimization?
I use code libraries and recode old stuff to new uses every day - is that cheating or just efficient coding?
People who consume video, surf the web, use Skype to talk to FB friends in other countries, read papers online, play games online (FB apps).
It's not a tech thing. It just WORKS. And that is the key difference - I've used one, it takes about 5 seconds to figure out how to use it.
That is NEVER true of MSFT products.
By the way, the EU has just been told (I watch foreign business news at night) that they will get the iPod a MONTH late due to US demand.... the world has changed and the iPad won... deal with it. oh, and Flash is dead (by the way, you're going to love HTML6 when it comes out)
I'm looking forward to buying one of these for my son. He's been using his desktop Mac Mini with no problems since we bought it in middle school, and could use a solid state laptop (with the student discount) for classes.
Any word on how well they will integrate with the fall version of the iPad? Would it be better to get one of those Mac AirPort wireless routers to run both the iPad and the MacBook off of, with the older Mac Mini hanging off the hard line output? We have Comcast cable modem until Seattle (Fremont) gets Google 1000 Gbps - like what we have here at the UW already.
The best part of having a Mac is never having to spend all that time doing patches and updates.
We still can disconnect the trunk lines and satellite feeds to any nation that tries this, and they all know it.
Besides, it won't impact the 1000 Gpbs Internet 2 that most major universities and other important things use - that runs on more secure protocols with more secure devices.

Thanks, I'll tell Apple their stock shouldn't be up 2 percent today and deny reality just for you.
The market cares nothing about what you "want", only the most optimal solution that clears transactions for both buyers and sellers.
LOL. For techies, sure.
But the rest of the world doesn't care.
Apple ftw.
Get used to it.
How's your Betamax holding up?
All your future is belong to iPad.
Get used to it.
So they should change the channel or turn off their TVs and leave our community standards in place.
Right now, we have the baby boomlet.

Embrace the future. Surrender now, Dorothy!

Sorry, that's how they talk in management circles.
Let me optimize the threshold parameters on that business process for you and start a QA check on a response mechanism.
Seems like we spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, when there are perfectly good wheel libraries to #include in real life.
Any decent sharpshooter can pick you off from a distance of more than a block anyway.
And wearing a mask and glasses makes it very easy to attack you in person.
Silly rabbit, there is no such thing as "safety" - and that's the opinion of an ex-Army Sergeant qualified sharpshooter in a few weapons systems.
Side note: you having a gun doesn't make you safe, it just makes it easier for me to use it against you.

I'll go tell South Korea and China they don't exist then.
Meanwhile the rest of us will just keep playing free Facebook games on our iPads and ignoring what EA or Crytek want.
Look, the iPad is a consumer device.
Aimed for consumers.
People who consume video, surf the web, use Skype to talk to FB friends in other countries, read papers online, play games online (FB apps).

Just a hint, don't choose "Death" as your password, kidlings.
We still can disconnect the trunk lines and satellite feeds to any nation that tries this, and they all know it.
Besides, it won't impact the 1000 Gpbs Internet 2 that most major universities and other important things use - that runs on more secure protocols with more secure devices.
Not that it won't shut down Facebook ...
Let's face it, the future of gaming is non-Flash games on HTML5 and HTML6 (draft) compliant browsers running on the iPad.
That's where the money is.
You don't need to use gasoline.
You just think you do.
You don't need 600 hp in your car.
You just think you do.
Here endeth the lesson.
The US version costs $2500.
Still a bargain.
