You might well ask yourself the same question. And 14 might be a bit generous, as your determination to cut yourself off at the knees (and the rest of us along with you) comes off as nothing more than the "I can't have my way all the time so nobody can have their way any of the time" I occasionally get from my 8-year-old daughter.
"The vision of Plasma Active is to create an innovative and fresh data-centric UI which is not concerned with applications but rather offers a user oriented interface with logically combined items through activities, which reflect the workflow and usage of the device by the user".
Didn't understand a word?
Oh, I understood it perfectly. Allow me to interpret: We've not got a single blessed clue about this Plasma doohickus--hell, we've not even seen the thing--and the hardware has no standout features, which is why we're not actually telling you about them. And we're just generally full of crap, in any case.
Google Translate really needs to add Marketing BS to their supported languages.:)
"Snag" is merely slang for "get", "obtain", "acquire", "take", etc. I agree it doesn't sound very professional, but it in no way implies stealing AFAIK.
E.g. (from my misspent youth ca. 1980) Dude, I've got major cottonmouth--let's roll by Mickey-Dee's and snag a milkshake.
No connotation of stealing. Perhaps you're thinking of "boost"?
These apps are hell! Why not just go to the WP and read the whole article there? It's like AOL came back from the 90s, bigger and badder (content not served to you; you have to beg for it by approving each 'app', and then you just get a morsel instead of the whole content). And ppl want this?!
Because it'll be more like their smartphones (and EVERYBODY knows we now want our desktops and laptops to look and act just like our phones, even Microsoft!), despite the fact that having a separate "app" for every content provider is anything but smart.
Unless you're just looking for (more) ways to extract rents from people while you're merrily leading them down the primrose path to AOL ca. 1992... or Apple ca. 2012...
>It should be pointed out that only users of Facebook and 'Adobe Flash` running on Microsoft are suseptable to this vulnerability.
Actually, it's the people in the Windows world who have been taught by the likes of Adobe and such that the normal way to install software is when you encounter a site that requires some special codec, that you install it straight away without question.
...
In sane environments, you look for trusted sources for software before blindly clicking on a web page. The Free Software world teaches people to look in the trusted repositories first (bsd ports system, debian packages, gentoo portage, etc) before downloading random binary code...
And someone else just couldn't stand not burning up on one of their own mod points to keep yours company. Surely they weren't being petty or spiteful or mean-spirited or just plain old stupid... Surely not one of those microcephalic "Meta = Off-Topic" types whose handiwork around here is sometimes all too obvious. You know, the ones who like to pull out quotes from The Fountainhead or talk about how they're gonna show true love for their kids by beating the hell out of them, or whatever, thinking it impresses people.
(Yeah, yeah. Go right ahead, mongchop, hit me with your best shot, you know you *really* want to. Not worried much since I've likely got more karma than you've had hot dinners.)
You are an open source shill. Go fuck your mother.
So what company's paying Runaway1956 to make pro-FOSS posts on/.?
Protip: Just because you're a jerk whose opinions evidently are for sale doesn't mean those with view a different viewpoint got theirs the same way as you did yours.
As for the bit about his mother... more projection?:)
Same here for 32F (although not for six months[!]). But you're making a point about the nature of water, and thus about the nature of human comfort with regard to temperature.
TFTFY.
(If you persist in continuing the argument along these lines, you'll continue to make his point for him, and thus to be on the losing end of it.)
By way of comparison, here in Sweden, a visit to your local Vårdcentral (clinic with 1 or more doctors) will run you SEK150, or roughly US$20. In more realistic terms, you have to work 1-2 hours at the minimum wage here to pay for it.
Also, people who can't afford to buy health insurance but aren't poor enough to qualify for government-paid health care can buy basic medical treatment just fine. A doctor visit costs a bit less less than two days' pay assuming you're fortunate enough to have a minimum-wage job.

No student at ASU could figure out how to post to Twitter?
Well... it is ASU, after all.
First they'd have to put down the bong.
Wrong ASU for that.
Do you work for a government agency?
No, but his sig is Swedish for, "I'm getting tired of going round doing nothing", take that as you will.
Are you 14?
You might well ask yourself the same question.

I'm pretty sure Trepidity was talking about ISPs when he spoke "utility-like services" and that he wasn't referring to FB.... :^)

Jesus on a rubber crutch, not only do we still not have UTF, we can't even have a bloody degree sign? Fuck me.
I live in Stockholm, where 30C is fucking hot, you insensitive clod!

Thank you for raising the bar for TL;DR.

P.S. YMBGFAP.
I am never voting again for you, Jeremiah Cornelius.
Perhaps not, but an alternate version of you is bound to do so.
Not to mention if you nuke the country, what happens to the oil?
If we bring back the neutron bomb, not much.
