Owwww.... That burns dude. The shop I work for is currently revamping the SS8 "Control UI" and I'm the contract I'm personally working on is a neat little app for "parents" to "monitor" their "child" for BlackBerry and Android.
Blaming the developer is not the solution nor the right thing to do. Carriers have decided to install this CIQ app, carriers have decided to obfuscate the CIQ UI, carriers are to blame.
Without CIQ, something else would be used, regardless.
Fatalism is actually much more common in atheists, shit happens and there's no will or plan or logic behind it, nobody to influence. No matter what you say or think or do, there's illnesses and injuries that could snuff you out of existence just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your life is just a dice throw and you better hope it's a good one. It's just that instead of somebody controlling the dice, there's nobody controlling the dice.
I wouldn't say that. Fatalism is more about giving up control, that simply being accepting of reality. You only become atheist by caring enough to discard religion. Keeping your religion because 'God' is in control is much more fatalist in my opinion.
Nothing new here; forget for an instant that it's our beloved Google behind this lawyer, and it's simply someone under patent fire saying that patent aren't fair.
Not to say I do not agree, but if Google was at the top patent-wise, would we see that article?

I might be in Canada, where such things are a bit less horrifying about being sued, but winning this in the states will definitely help everyone involved.

Going around believing in anything is not a good thing!
Most people will agree: NOT believing in monsters under the bed is a good thing. NOT believing in aliens making crop circle and abducting hapless farmers is also a good thing.
From the complete possible spectrum of imaginary thing to believe randomly in, you must agree that it's better not to believe. Believing that humans only have one eye is not exactly sane now is it?
Shared hallucination is still hallucination, same goes for religion: if yours is true, then millions are wrong in theirs. Not believing is simply saying no to desert after a meal: I am satisfied with my meal (life), I don't need a sugary high (religion) to enjoy it more!
Plainly, not choosing a religion is like not choosing a drug: marijuana might be better than heroin, it's still worst than no drug at all.
From my point of view, all religions have at least one crucial bad point :
A religion is absolute. If you believe, your religion is the only truth. Therefore, all other religions are just... well not true.
If you have a child, you want the best for him/her. Since you know the truth, you will want him to know it too. As soon as possible.
That means making him learn the truth, as told by authority (from parent, teacher, bible, priest) and convincing him that since those things were told to him by authority, no logic and/or proof is needed. For without bibles or priests, knowing Jesus, Abraham and other is kinda hard.
That child will grow up with the attitude that reality is only applicable if there is not contradiction with whatever some authority tells him. And of course, there is now authority, with bible proof, for everything: to hate gays and to love gays, pro-war and anti-war, pro-choice and pro-life; you just have to choose what you want to be real and find the right religious authority to confirm it for you.
If you, right now, think that it's sad that those small children in Islamic countries are being brainwashed with obvious Islamic drivel and taught lies and falsehood, just imagine that for atheists, we only go one religion further that you. (Replace Islamic with the religion you are not part of of you choice)
While most of the previous posts on this article are talking nonsense, there is a kernel of truth about carrier restriction and certification being the biggest barrier of entry.
Your best bet is contacting a publisher who will diffuse your game to various carriers, but like trying to find an editor to take your book, they are hard to convince and far between.
If you want to skip the publisher step entirely, I suggest you make builds of your game against the Sprint J2ME SDK, for multiple handset, while following their guidelines (like cancellable load screen, 'any-moment' killable application, choice of music or no music, textual usage of proper name for keys, etc). After Verizon (which is mostly, if not only, BREW), Sprint is the biggest carrier in the US, meaning a bigger market.
That being said, if you need more detailed information, contact me via PM and I'll see what I can do for you.
Of course. You are right and everyone who says differently must be wrong.
Still, the age where a person can handle sexuality varies greatly, and I can assure you, in many people I knew, sexual urges came along way before being 12 years old.
As for younger people. Well mostly it's not that they can't 'handle' sexuality, they just can't apprehend it. A five years old certainly has no sexual desire for whatsoever and, at the same time, does not consider any part of it's own body as 'sexual'.
That is to say, for a five years old, there is not difference between a rape and a beating: both hurt.
I just hate it when people both hyper-sexualizs and under-sexualise kids. They can't be both horrified by sex AND have no notion of sex. Make up your mind.
No, actually, I don't think we can agree that it's wrong for an adult to sexually desire a child.
We can surely agree that it's:
1 - Not common, thus socially unacceptable. 2 - Not exactly the best way to be happy, especially in a society where it's not acceptable.
Other than that, if there is actual sexual assault, it's called rape. If there is wanted sex, it seems to depend on the country but it's either rape or abuse of authority. Of course, I'm talking about countries where a child is not considered to be a whole person with emotions and desires, but something made out of porcelain until 21.
Just what is "Mummaire and Pappaire" supposed to mean?
If you mean "Mom and Dad", it would be "Maman et Papa".
Or, in the sense of "Crabby old woman and crabby old man", it would be "Mémère et Pépère".
Really, if any of you think the practice of crippling a product to lower it's retail price is not common, you must have lived under a rock for many, many years.
What do you think cost the most: Developing or manufacturing?
Developing of course. Create a superb circuit board for a HDTV, with support for a flavors of connectors and converters. Consumers want both high price/functions and low price/function HDTV, for all budgets.
What costs the least: Developing a new board without all the extra flavoring?
No. Just take the same marvelous board, and rip off the extra connectors, put a IF in the firmware code, replace the costly decoder chip with a placeholder one. And sell it cheap.
You see it in cars with the small plastic pieces where you could have taken the ventilation option, in TVs with the small flat piece where higher priced ones have a connector... In friggin toothpaste where they are all the same except for the price!
Take a clue, crippling is not only common, it's mandatory.
No way can you consider 100 million of anything a failure.
Simple;
Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. All of theses have 100 millions of failures and idiots that are in the wrong... but like you said, if there are 100 millions of them, they must be right, right?
Never mind the fact that if one group is right, the other groups are automatically in the wrong, simplifying the problem to say that 100s millions people are necessarily wrong.
And I pray to god you at least understand that the guy behind linux is actually named (from birth) LinuS Torvalds... Like, he named his creation with an X instead of an S like his real name? Hello?

Ever drank cofee?
The century of the fruitbat is soooooo last century! I for one welcome our new anti-abortion overlords of the Century of the Anchovy.
Or switch the water hoses to gasoline lines!
I would venture to say that sand grains behaved like a liquid, not became a liquid.
Engineer is a reserved title, which makes it illegal for people not part of the "Ordre des ingenieurs du Quebec" to call themselves engineers.
You should have seen a couple years ago with the MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certification... Hahahaha!
Here:

ps.: To be part of the Order in Quebec, you need a 4-year (would be 5-years in USA) university degree in engineering.
