Hard to argue with the c sdk etc, however the ti-nspire has a very nice screen on it, a lot more memory, faster processor etc. One of the only semi-modern ones.
I wouldn't say a day to day basis, however when I'm not at home and only have my eeepc and ti-nspire with me I'll use the nspire, much more convenient for entry of math too.
If it's going to take you a while paper/pen and calculator can win out due to not consuming precious battery power while you're out and about.
Ah, but did you ever wonder why the phrase was changed from 'global warming' to 'climate change'? hint: because the average temperature actually lowered for a few years straight.
This is not to say that we should not endeavour to reduce pollution as much as possible, but trumping up extreme and misleading data does not help the greens cause by any stretch of the means.
Because iraq's conditions improved immensely with saddam's removal... right? none of this all out war between two religious factions business that he held at bay through fear of force.
Saddam was a nasty man, but at least he kept order.
Why would they target them? Apple thrives from making throw away iDevices. Making their appliance-like product have any kind of longevity would stop people doing the mac upgrade treadmill every 1-2 years.
The price you pay for being with apple is being at their terms, they want to limit functionality as much as possible to create a simple user experience. I can't imagine that going well with enterprise either.
patents end in fifteen years, so emulating the hardware is legal, it's the copyright on the individual game roms that you have to worry about. Which most people seem happy to pirate anyway, just like they do music.
Even the Nazi's, for all the evil they did, managed to wear uniforms, so allied troops knew who to shoot.
When facing an enemy with an order of magnitude more firepower and resources than you, the uniforms always get dropped, it's suicide not to.
The americans have done it before also, when fighting the english. As did the french when occupied by the germans.
When the enemy has your country by the balls, and enough firepower to level it all, you don't walk outside in a uniform that identifies you don't like them.
Space dominance for welfare is a fair trade, but when the 'defence' budget is over 700 billion, with no actual threats to american soil. Makes you wonder if that money couldn't be directed to more useful things.
* - The Visual Studio Express editions don't allow you to redistribute very easily. Yeah, I tried installing the some of the runtimes and other things that it requires but I've never gotten an app I've written to work on another machine.
I managed to do that in 2005 with express visual c/c++ when playing with quake3 code to give modified engines to friends etc. Wasn't too much trouble so probably just something minor wrong
F/OSS dev tools on Windows just don't work well (there was so much shit that wouldn't work together well that I gave up);
It works well but I readily admit it can be an absolute pain in the ass to setup, again this was some time ago, perhaps 2004'ish, since 2006 was the last time I dual booted to windows for playing around.
He is probably just indicating that those with the most issues seem to strangely be coming from the kubuntu camp, fedora, opensuse etc seem to treat kde as more a first class citizen than second.
Then again it could just be typical ubuntu users are more from the newer to linux camp and thus complain more in general.
I use kde for months at a time before rebooting, with fairly constant use except for when I sleep. and I notice none of these memory leak issues that you speak of.
If what you are saying is true I'd be hitting swap within a week. Free indicates my amount of free ram remains pretty constant even with months of usage.
You have no idea how bandwidth is paid for by ISPs.
That sir, is an assumption.
The concept of a bandwidth hog is a myth, in large part because a pipe unused costs the ISP the same amount as a pipe used.
The less it is used the more it can be shared to others, which pay internet fees, so heavy users do cost them. What's that? you want an unshared guaranteed 24/7 pipe? go ahead, but it will cost you an order of magnitude more.
While it is in the ISP's best interests to almost fully utilize existing infrastructure, it is also in it's best interests to ensure that as many people get the best possible use out of it. Only investing in new infrastructure when it is viable for the expanding demand.
When they upgrade their infrastructure, it will only result in people like you consuming 1TB/month instead of 500 gigs per month assuming there is no hinderence to you using it.
Personally I think australia has it right in that you pay a certain amount for a certain number of gigs of uncapped speed (say, 50gig/month) then when that amount is reached the whole connection is throttled to like 128k/sec, on which you could download as much as you want.
Higher priced tiers for those who use more, it makes sense, and with this method the bill is fixed, no surprises. Those extremely heavy users such as yourself will have to weigh up if downloading dozens blue-ray rips is worth what it would cost you in getting a larger cap, or whether *gasp* you can use the internet more frugally.
The fact that they have a similar goal? raster image editing.
Those who complain about gimp vs photoshop always seem to come across as similar to those who complain about blender vs 3ds max. Professional output can be created (take big buck bunny for example) and nobody really gives a crap what you prefer to use, but to say that what someone else prefers is useless just riles them up.
If a tcp packet arrives with a bad CRC, it winds up being re-sent until one with the right one arrives, now in the cpu example they are talking about not correcting the faults, which would be equivalent of just displaying and accepting the messed up packet, which depending on the connection could really cause some serious damage.
The accept bad noise but detect and re-do model is what is being done now, not bothering to even check for errors is a Bad Idea. When errors are detected on a cpu continuing with the error would be disaster in most instances, redoing the calculation is the only option.
Seriously. Just because you don't like the iPhone doesn't mean that Apple is doing anything bad for the computer market.
They have set back general purpose computing by promoting the appliance style phone. Appliance computing is not general purpose, it is vendor fixed functionality. Promoting appliance based computing means less general purpose computing items available, setting it back.
And redhat has a PE of 64 or so, but it doesn't mean much besides investors have extreme faith.
All things change, none faster than human perspectives on value. Low pe values tend to equate to stability, high not so much, the potential is there for great or poor things.
Why reinvent the wheel when the solution you're looking for is already there, stable, and field tested for a good 30 or so years?
Apple do this all the time, example cocoa and nextstep vs X11. They want to take as much as possible that has already been made, and lock it down by adding something proprietary that only they can use. Smart business move, but not very nice.
Apple pulled some shenanigans with purposefully breaking newer ipod syncing with third party programs like gtkpod etc, they set up some crypto to block out any other software, if that isn't a sign of not playing nice I don't know what is.

Yes the role is ceremonial... until it's needed, sometimes that level of power is needed.
The world's most powerful military working for a public with only the maturity level on par with children. God help the world.
Well the bullies in the playground always want the biggest stick, is one way of thinking about it.
lookup the bnetd case, they hate private servers even when it isn't costing them any money, let alone when it does.

Excuse me, my TI nspire CAS has 32mb of ram
And comparing GIMP to Photoshop differs how?
