Actually, the erosion I've noticed is in the awareness that it's people that form, invest in, work for, and patronize companies.
Actually, the erosion I've noticed is that some folks seem to forget (all too conveniently, it seems) that the people who form and invest in companies tend NOT to be the same people who work for them. And those who work for them quite are often not the same as those who buy the companies' products/services, either.
Hitler was the sort of creature who would say anything to (or against) anybody in order to achieve power*.
Attempting to discuss his 'hates' is therefore a fruitless exercise.
(*And thus, just the sort whom people like our idiot "Liberals = Nazis" friend are likely to end up following, since such types know how to push all the right verbal/semantic/emotional buttons of those who are too bloody dense to realise that this is in fact exactly what they're doing.)
I don't see you suggesting anything better nor do I see you mentioning anything *about* writing books that suggests to me that you've actually done it.
I've written and/or edited a number of them.
I've actually grown to prefer DocBook XML, which lets me concentrate on content and semantics without being distracted by styles, but OOO has worked just fine for this.
Therefore, I have to wonder whether you're just trolling.
...a great native C/C++ platform with rich frameworks that exponentially speed up development, heavy duty multimedia, advanced graphics and animation, deep access to the core of the device BUT ALSO a great HTML5 Web platform with rich typography, color managed graphics, hardware accelerated animations, fast JavaScript, great usability, local installation, home screen icons. Between the 2, you have the whole world. They are a yin yang of apps. You need both.
Good thing I wasn't so attached to my breakfast, eh.
And here's where the capitalist ideal world has to bow to the reality: People are EFFIN' STUPID. They're NOT the perfectly informed consumer that makes a perfect decision and gives the best offer his prize in form of his purchase. People are gullible sheeple that are easily tricked into believing that they're getting a good deal while they're essentially being bullshitted by marketing, and even easier to trick that there is no alternative if what they know kinda-sorta-maybe does what they want.
"Perfect market" is a myth perpetuated by the haves.
It's an expecially powerful myth when the haves manage to convince the have-nots that the haves themselves believe in it.
First they try to steal "apps" for things that are not applications, but rather channels of content.
Now a smartphone is a "computer"? In the sense of "general-purpose computing device" it most certainly is not. And neither is a fucking tablet.
I love my Android phone. But it is a communications device. It is not a computer.
I wouldn't mind having a tablet. I'll probably get one this year or next. It'll be great to surf and watch films with. But it's a content-consumption device. It is not a computer.
But I guess "Smartphones Becoming Communications Devices of Choice in Developing Countries" doesn't sound as sexy.
And while I'm busy ripping the submitter (and idiots in general) a new one--what does this have to especially with "developing countries", anyway?
The build-out of 3G networks in developing countries, plus ultra-low prices from the likes of Samsung, will make the smartphone the sole computer of millions of citizens worldwide. And by 2016, 97 percent of smartphones are expected to use touchscreens.
I see "worldwide". I see nothing about "developing countries" in there. Do you?
ExecSummary: In 5 years, most mobile phones will use touchscreens. Thank you, Captain Obvious.
But the 70s had a whole series of very high-profile hijackings, and nobody apparently gave enough of a damn then to institute the kinds of policies we have in 2011.
In the 1970s, the US still had a ready-made Major Enemy (USSR), and people who hijacked planes were merely criminals.

Seems to work just fine in Syria.
Seems to, yeah. For now.
Marxists are not socialists, and I never claimed they were.
And you are obviously a crank and/or you have a not-so-well-hidden ideological agenda.
In either case, I've better ways to waste my time. We're done here.
In the future, we will look back on this as another signpost on the path of Facebook's fall.....
And not as a stumble on the way to the Facebook World Government? :)

Not even all Americans live in the US.
(And from Stockholm I bid you a hearty US Grade-A Go Fuck Yourself.)

It would also be helpful if he could keep his World Wars straight...
The Nazis were many things. 'Socialist' was not among them.
Yes, 'Socialist' appeared in the official name. No, it did not mean anything.
In fact, real Marxists were amongst the first to get rounded up and put into camps. Or shot.
So please STFU and go read (and not skim) some history.

No offence meant, of course.
There are people who still use Yahoo Mail?
Will it run in Excel?
Will it run in emacs?
This from someone who obviously failed Web 101?
Protip: Java != JavaScript.
And using 'Java' as a shorthand for 'JavaScript' (if this is what you think you're doing) just makes you look (even more) ignorant.

I don't recall any such incident, either.
I do seem to recall that Microsoft's JS implementation kicked ass*.
*(For the record: I pretty much despise MS and its platform. But even Mussolini made the trains run on time.)
... And it must be demonstrably true to be scientific. ...
It must be demonstrably true to be considered true; but it also must be demonstrably false to be considered false...
OR...
It can be shown that is non-falsifiable, and thus demonstrably a complete and utter waste of time to pursue it any further.
Fuck yeah. We had TV movies about it and everything.
And to me this story is old news.
No, from your point of view, it hasn't happened yet.

Nice troll.
No one needs calendar that isnt integrated with their email client.
Well, Grasshopper, it just so happens that I do have a use case for a standalone calendar, thank you very much.
Which is why I'm still using Sunbird 1.0b and will likely continue doing so until it quits working and I can no longer compile a new one.
InnoDB has been added in 2001. Replication has been there since forever. You're listing old features of MySQL, not additions done by Oracle.
InnoDB becomes the default storage engine in MySQL 5.5, a non-trivial change from earlier versions (where MyISAM was the default).
Semi-synchronous replication is a new feature of replication in MySQL 5.5.
All of the other features mentioned by the AC are also either new or singificantly changed in 5.5.

"Batshit insane" just got a new definition.
Okay, okay, I missed the bit about expanding 3G networks in developing countries.
But it's still Captain Obviousness, and I'm still pissed that I got suckered into wasting my time reading this.

In 2001, it needed a new one.
