Wasn't there a lot of child nuditiy in Ender's Game?
I haven't read the book in a while, but I remember thinking "that's going to be... a tricky movie to make" when there was news of a possible Ender's Game movie.
Firefox has become my webapp IDE these days. Firebug (and things that let me log to firebug from the server-side code) + SQLite manager + a variety of tools for mangling http requests and responses + a variety of tools for creating your own requests, all in one tabbed application. It's perfect!
Chrome has become my web browser though.
IT's like comparing Eclipse to say, Notepad. Eclipse is useful because of everything that it CAN do. Notepad is useful for everything that it can't do (and thus doesn't get in your way when you're not doing it).
Examples 1) I want to upload non-camera related files from my flash card to my website. 2) I want to access the contents of my device on a different device 3) I want to customize the look and feel 4) Where is the file browser?
Second: they aren't REQUIRED to be free, it's just that you kind of expect them to be free, since everywhere else, they are indeed free, and in some cases, as a drunken slur, if you pardon the pun.
I knew before buying the ipad2 that iOS is locked down. I did used to own an iPhone. My mistake, was not double checking whether I could jailbreak it or not first.
I recently bought an ipad2, and I was shocked at the fact that there doesn't really exist a free app for most of the common things one expects to do with a computer or computer-like device.
And since the majority of these apps don't work, or don't do what they say it will do, with absolutely no possibility of a refund, well... the gamble isn't for the developers. it's for the consumers.
Not an issue for a server/deamon app, a real big deal if you need to write a command line tool.
Many java services that I've had to start, they they've started, but they haven't ACTUALLY started. It's very annoying to start tomcat, get a response back suggesting things are a go, and then visiting localhost only to find out that started meant it started the paperwork to authorise the release of the forms for a port request, to be signed in triplicate and verified by 20 notaries.
you blog is wrong, it is comparing stock android to HTC modified android. The HTC modified android looks a lot different than the Google android on the nexus phones.
I just finished the cassowary version and now I'm working on the dingo version. Yes we use those terms in meetings, with bosses, and it gets a good chuckle. It's far more entertaining than version numbers.
I'm not saying they're going to disappear next year or anything like that. But digital will beat film out in most respects sooner or later and then it will just be nostalgic. When CDs came out some people complained that the low bitrate cut out a portion of the music but everyone used them anyway. How many people have vinyl? How many people even noticed and cared? Not that many. And now the quality is better anyway.
The medium of the final product isn't the issue, the medium of the individual components is the issue. I don't know about film, but in sound, analog imparts a particular flavour. Portishead is a great example. They record their drums to vinyl, then bounce that back into the final mix, just to impart the flavour of vinyl onto the sound
Surely this subject will instil nothing but the most civil, logical, and objective debates. After all most debates about climate change somehow morph into a left versus right debate, and it's that transition that's really hard. But now we can have the debate in parallel to each other. Throw in the libertarians, and I'm positive that we will all get through this one with not a swear in sight.
uh, my point was, the python language and indeed the community around python, make rather pretentious assumptions about themselves.
eg, there is no private/public properties in python. Instead the mentality is that the developer using an API will be smart enough to tread where they don't belong.
Java assumes the exact opposite, that everyone is dumb so this is why so much verbosity is needed.

Having the world switch from Windows to another OS en masse will be as problematic as switching from oil/gas to another fuel source.
like python and postgresql?
indeed, it's Gauloises now
Everyone talks about how far we can push graphics.
But what about pushing the AI?
What about procedural generation of the game?
What about vastly improved physics including a destrucable world?
I'd rather see these things pushing hardware development than how many polygons you can crunch in a second.
indeed, good thing they are removed then isn't it
my nokia n90=8gb cost $650
Because that possibility was just politics. Politics are a lot easier to deal with than climate change.
I think the real issue here is that you seem to misunderstand the meaning of the word most, and how it differs from the meaning of the word all.
Examples
1) I want to upload non-camera related files from my flash card to my website.
2) I want to access the contents of my device on a different device
3) I want to customize the look and feel
4) Where is the file browser?

I'm canadian. My tax money did not go to bail out a single bank. I think our regulation is pretty good.

wow you're boring.

uh, yes, I do. It adds depth to the sound that is not fully reproducible on a digital medium.

I think the point is that the same technologies can be used to make desktop applications
Once you've solved some problems through the CLI by looking at forum posts, you will realize how amazing the cli is.
And do you care to explain what more there is?

there are pros and cons to both approaches.
Just because you don't have all these safety nets doesn't mean there aren't alternatives.
