Yeah, it definitely seems like a lot of people who were the loudest "This site best viewed in Any Browser" chanters, got their iPhone and saw a chance to show off, forgetting how hypocritical they sounded going back to device-dependent design.
None of the Amigas I had (A1000, A500, A2000, and an A3000) were instant on at all. They all required AmighaDOS via floppy or hard disk to boot the rest of the way.
Pah. First thing I did when I got 1MB, then 1.5MB of memory(!) was follow the instructions in the manual to make a "Recoverable RAM Drive" (RAD:) that was bootable.:)
Exactly. Lawyers police themselves. The whole lawyer-judiciary-political complex has to be broken up. You ave a group of people who have a self interest in insuring the least happens to themselves, their industries, and their many years of friendships and relationships therein. There's a reason there's so few disbarment proceedings - lawyers are petrified that one day they'll be on the receiving end of it, if they open more and more up to tighter enforcement of the oaths they swore to uphold.
I would question this. Though IANAL, I have worked in a position of technical expertise for a large legal firm, advising lawyers of technical issues pertaining to cases and I never once saw any brief that "affirmatively disclosed unfavorable legal authority", and never once did I see censure from the judiciary or bar as a result therefrom.
Only item 2 above is a real showstopper, and that's only for images that benefit from greater dynamic range.
Wah? Here's a hint: play with levels and curves in an 12 bit image, and then downsample. Or play with them in 8 bit. Watch how many canyons appear in your histogram. That's lost data where your manipulations have walked outside ranges, and / or been absorbed, etc.
First thing I teach anyone who asks me? "Edit in 16 bit. As your last two steps before saving, convert to 8, and then to sRGB". I'm curious as to see how "throwing out at least 75%, if not 90%+ of your image data" isn't a "showstopper"?
Your business model is outdated, fool! We're in the "information wants to be free (or available on a pirate tracker site)" age! Evolve or become extinct, old man. Sell support for your book, organizations will buy it.
How do you "route" a domain name? Sure you can point the authoritive NS's to some black hole, but that's easily enough reversed. DNS changes don't 'propagate' upstream. They can be cached downstream, but nothing irrevocable, and there's no route to propagate. "ca.gov" is not a AS network.
I stand absolutely corrected, and sheepish. I have owned nearly half a dozen cordless phones, from early models to "high end" $300+ DECT blah blah etc ones, and not one has had a battery backup for the base unit to allow calls whilst sans power.
Hey, look everyone, especially you Apple engineers. Stop your triage, stop your diagnosis, stop everything!
Twitter knows what the problem is! He's here to help.
Through the magic of his genius, and technical intuition, with almost no evidence whatsoever that the problem isn't circuitry, it's not temperature, it's not a bad driver, it's not any one of a hundred, if not a thousand potential causes, but that it's ACPI.
And ergo, despite ACPI being a standard developed by hardware companies, including Intel, HP, and others, we know the culprit, and who to blame:
...
Microsoft! Sorry, uhh, Micro$oft.
Fear not, loyal Apple fans and Linux lovers, we cannot lay fault at Apple's feet for this. It's purely the workings of the Evil Empire(TM). After all, Twitter said so...
They don't charge "more", they charge "less" for you. As you said, your education is subsidized in all manner of ways. In Australia, it is worded to make it more demonstrable - "full-fee paying student". They pay the full rate. You just get discounts for things they're not eligible for.
The direct practical result may be the same for the end customer, the student, but the methods used in deriving their bill as presented are all-important.
This is misleading. Microsoft has research centers in India and China, but the majority of the software engineering happens in Redmond. Windows, Office, SQL Server, Visual Studio, XBox, Live.com, MSN, are all in the US, and they're not going anywhere. Many of the new overseas jobs are in sales.
Agreed, at MSFT, our outsourced China and India work was, for the large part, menial and tedious (complete browser passes for CSS changes, etc). The actual nuts and bolts? Redmond. My parents recently visited from overseas, and I took them for a drive around most of the campus (well, the various areas off 148th and 156th) - it is a city. The "principally hiring... in China and India" for the core work? So far from the truth.
This demonstrates all that is wrong with Wikipedia.
So many subjects speedy-deleted as "not notable".
Every. Single. Fucking. M:TG. Card. written about with pages of detail.
Eastern European weightlifter? Sucks to be you, because unless some teenage boy in America who likes to look up girls skirts at cons and cosplay events has heard of you, you won't be "notable".
Ever seen a character that's been on screen more than four frames in the most obscure of manga? He'll have a page so detailed that it'll be broken down in subsections.
People need to learn that there's a difference between translation and transliteration. The transliteration is relatively concrete, from there translation can be deduced in context. It's not rocket science. It is an art, admittedly, but it is also amusing how many armchair Japanese experts there are online (not you, but in general).
It's been shown again and again that Macs are not that much more expensive than comparable PCs.
Yes and no. Sure, in some cases. In other, the fanboyism shows through:
"Look how much you get gouged for RAM" *handwave* "Oh, everyone knows you don't buy RAM from Apple".
"Why does this hard drive upgrade cost $100+ when the comparable hard drive upgrade on NewEgg is $27?" *handwave* "Oh, you don't get your hard drive upgrade from Apple"
Apparently at times you're meant to buy your laptop from Apple, throw away the hard drive and RAM (because you can't buy it without it), find your upgrades elsewhere and buy it.
These things don't cross the fanboy mindset when he's busy on the net "disproving" Apple's price gouging.
That's funny. What you describe as "try[ing] to kill hundreds, thousands or millions of people through acts of terrorism" could equally be described for many of the people in detention for just that as "arming themselves and defending themselves and their families, friends, and neighbours, their home, against the acts of a foreign invading army". I'm guessing they were apparently guilty of not surrendering to the "shock and awe" of the US military.
Oh wait, where can I get a standards-compliant web browser with a 3.5" screen, and a fully-functional POP/IMAP email client, on a phone again?
I can point you in the direction of dozens of phones that will run Opera Mobile, can do POP and IMAP mail, for far less than iPhone prices. Although granted, I do like the 3.5" screen. That being said, my nearly three years old Nokia N90 had a 416x352 pixel screen, so lets not go getting all hyped up by the fact that the iPhone has a screen with 4.8% more pixels 36 months later, it's not overly revolutionary.
Good work. Except you missed the bit where Australian corporations doing business in Australia come under the jurisdiction of their relevant state and federal laws, and precedents from judgments in New Mexico, a state of the United States of America, are barely likely to be considered, let alone binding.
That being said, admittedly, CC itself is in the US, IIRC. This whole thing is a travesty. The photographer affirmed, by implication, that he had the ability to commercially license the use of his imagery. Apparently, he didn't.

Oooh, ooh, hear that, Apple fans? Look what he called OS X. I say you organize yourself a lynchin'.
"Fanbois, attack!"
Umm, or something.

That's fantastic. Tell me, how long will the base station work without power? Cause I'm seeing a flaw in your logic there.
Whatever insight your post had, I reverted to zero upon reading you call it a "Triple Play" with a straight face.
Err... one reason amongst many possibles - because HP didn't develop the BT device, or write the driver?

Your daughter or your mom, though? That's a little weird. :)
Only in Apple-land could "going from intolerable performance hiccups to tolerability" be considered a "huge advantage".
No, you WILL pay a bit more, for values of "a bit more" ranging from $100 to $400 or more.

True. But that specific argument, at least, would be easily disproved. Default Flickr licensing is "All rights reserved".
