No, young geeks need tablets to feel cool. After a certain point in life one realizes that trying to be cool is uncool. The cool kids don't try, usually they're dtring to be different, not blend in.
I discovered this when patty was a teenager. She always strove to be different, and was constantly annoyed because the other kids copied what she did/wore etc.
Since Androids have wifi, why would it be difficult to print to a networked printer? I would assume that since the submitter has a printer he also has a computer. Even if he can't print directly to the printer, uploading to a computer and printing from there should be brain-dead simple and easy. As a last resort he could send the text to himself via email, that's how I got pictures from my phone to my computer before I bought a bluetooth dongle.
Your comment was doubly funny for me, because at work they recently installed some new network-connected copiers that double as scanners, printers, and fax machines.
I'd never heard of yaoi before, so thank you for expanding my knowledge. Wikipedia backs me up here:
Yaoi (ããSã?)[nb 1] also known as Boys' Love, is a Japanese popular term for female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships, usually created by female authors. As these depict males, there is an androphilic male audience as well, however manga aimed at a gay male audience is considered a separate genre. Originally referring to a specific type of dÅjinshi (self-published works) parody of mainstream anime and manga works, yaoi came to be used as a generic term for female-oriented manga, anime, dating sims, novels and dÅjinshi featuring idealized homosexual male relationships.
You just strengthened my argument, which was that the OP was wrong and religion does in fact change. I pointed out one example. Another is Hinduism evolving into Bhuddism. IINM both those religions are older than Judism.
Nice cop-out there. Day traders do not contribute anything whatever. You may refute this if you have facts to refute it, but I doubt you do.
CEOs don't produce, but they (like lawyers and accountants) are necessary, even if they are earning way too much by historical standards. You get the big bucks, you should take the big responsibility.
Maybe he meant "the wrong that belongs to you"? Hard telling what anybody really means on the internet, since so many these days are semiliterate at best.
is a direct result of the influence of parents, teachers, coaches, and others in their lives, not of their own action. It's just too hard to figure out all that stuff on your own
Well, I wasn't doing PhD level work, but when I was a kid I didn't have anyone helping me; it was the library that I learned from, not any of my teachers. Hell, I had a science paper graded A+ because the teacher couldn't understand it.
Nobody told me how to turn a $10 transistor radio into a $200 guitar fuzzbox using $2 worth of parts and a soldering iron.
And I'm FAR from the smartest guy on slashdot. I'm downright retarded compared to some of the people here.
Besides... simple solution... don't buy apps through the Windows Store. Don't install/use Windows 8 if it can't install/use normal software not purchased from the Store
Few people besides OEMs buy Windows. How are you not going to use Windows when every non-Apple PC comes with it preinstalled and they've locked it down like an iPhone and you can't install a different OS without a hardware hack?
It isn't investment, it's gambling. It does nothing to further the company and much to harm it, since it destroys any long term planning. It harms the economy by taking money out of long term investment and into gambling. Day trading is nothing more than high stakes roulette.
I would raise the capital gains tax to where it was before Reagan. There were no day traders back then, before gambling became more lucrative than investing.
Banning daytrading would be similar to banning the purchase of milk at a restaurant with the intent of selling it by the glass to customers.
Are you the user who used to be badanalogyguy? Because that's about the worst analogy I've ever seen; I see nothing analogous, no relation at all.
Nail the executives and leave it at that. Even the executives that didn't know anything ?
It's the supervisor's job to know what the guy he's supervising is doing. It's the executive's JOB to know what the hell is going on in their company. If they're ignorant, too bad because they're not supposed to be ignorant.
It's called "responsibility", and today's rich seem to have never heard of the word.
The problem starts when you actually click "control panel". It is not rationally or logically laid out, and Win 7's is nothing like XP's. You have to hunt for everything, and many functions are several mouse clicks down.
What's worse, there are things that should be in the control panel that aren't. I searched Control Panel's mouse controls for a month before I found out where to disable the Acer's "tap to click" abomination. It wasn't even in the goddamned control panel at all!
And it's not just the control panel, it's in their apps, too. From IE1 to IE 6, "settings" was moved to a different menu location in each release. It's been under file, view, edit, and help. It was once its own menu item called "options", which has been renamed "tools". This is exactly what the GP is rightfully bitching about.
Back in the nineties when my employer decided to dump Corel and go with MS, I took an Excel class because I knew I'd be migrating. The class was worthless, because we got the next release of Excel and it was nothing like the previous version, which was what was taught. Happily, though, I didn't even need the class because the new version of Excel was more like Quattro than it was like the older version of Excel -- including where they randomly stuck shit in the menus.
And people say MS software is user friendly. What a load of horse shit. It's user HOSTILE. Telling you that you have to do it my way or not at all is NOT friendly, it's arrogant -- HOSTILE. I want my computer to obey ME, not the other way around.
If you work for MS, please tell your idiot bosses to knock it the hell off. It's way past the point that the average user says "this program is hard to use so it must be complex and good," which is what they seem to be doing.
I guess I'm spoiled, having run both Linux and Windows for so long. Linux is just plain better, period. I would guess that Apple may even be better than Linux, but I have no experience with Apple..
Where does this psychopathic idea that corporate efficiency must be maintained at all cost come from?
From the amoral, out of touch psycopaths who run corporations. Money is their god. They worship it. It matters more to them than anything, more even than their families and children. There isn't a CEO of any big multinational that wouldn't let you rape his mother if you gave him enough money for it.
These are evil people. They do not care about the environment, they do not care care about right and wrong, they do not care whether anyone lives or dies as long as their pile keeps growing.
And they're already prosecuted under current laws.
Than why were none of Sony's executives imprisoned for vandalizing thousands of PCs with their XCP malware? Why was no one from BP or Haliburton or that other company incarcerated for destroying the ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico? Why was no one from the mining company not imprisoned for the mass murder (negligent homicide) of two dozen miners last year?
You should be in sales, you just sold me on Android. Of course, I was leaning that way anyway, but what you listed is what I'm looking for. I'm running Linux on my main computer, and I have no desire to install iTunes after seeing it on other people's computers (shudder).
No, this is much more like OtherOS than XCP. Microsoft will have to go a long way to match Sony's evil, try as they seem to be trying.
XCP (Sony's rootkit) disabled all P2P and disk burning software as well as other damage that they might not have planned, but disabling BitTorrent (keeping you from up and downloading distros) and disabling disk burning (castrating their competetion, the independant musician) was clearly deliberate and vilely evil. Someone should be in prison for that, but I guess rich people only go to prison if they defraud thousands of other rich people in a billion dollar Ponzi scheme, or sell US Senate seats or Commercial Drivers licenses to unqualified drivers who go and kill entire families (which put Ryan in prison for a shorter period than someone caught with an ounce of crack cocaine). I mean, nobody went to prison for the negligent homicide of two dozen miners last year, did they?
Neither Microsoft nor Sony need worry or apologize, idiots will keep shoveling money at them no matter how badly Sony and MS treat them. It's pathetic.
Dude, he's trolling. He doesn't believe a word of what he says. Please, guys, stop feeding the trolls! I come her to read interesting comments, not anti-religion trolls in a thread that religion has no place in that some dim witted moderators think is funny. "Pastor" Jake Golf's comment should be sitting at -1 troll/flamebait rather than +4 funny. It's about as funny as that movie Dumb And Dumber -- not at all. It's just stupid. Bury the fucker.
There has been a backlash against skinnier male mannequins and you do see them in some clothing stores. I blame the emos.
Holy crap, the mannequinn in the photo looks like he just escaped a nazi concentration camp.
I woundn't blame the emos, though. Evolution has conditioned males to be attracted to thin females, while females have evolved to be attracted to heavier men. That's because a fat cave woman (or even one in the 18th century) already had a male that was feeding her well, while a fat cave man was a successful cave man.
Pity us poor heteros who are genetically thin; we chase women all day while being hit on by gays, because the only people attracted to thin men are gay men.
So who to blame for skinny male models? I blame gays and meterosexuals (who I suspect are all closet gays).
we are taking advice from someone who uses a browser that doesn't have spell checking. Equally alarming.
Anyone here without a spell checking browser is at work on an XP computer running IE 6 or IE 7. Who her eis stupid enough to risk his job installing a browser when policy forbids it just to spell correctly in slashdot comments, especially since most here don't seem to know lose from loose, there from their from they're, and have no clue how to use an apostrophe, and more importantly when not to use one?
Religion is about stasis. Stasis of a written story that never changes
No? It began as the Torah, and then came Christ and it was added to by his apostles and became the Christian Bible. Then about 600 years later Muhammed added to the Torah and it then was transformed into the Quran. Then after another 1000 years later the Christian bible was added to and Mormanism was born.
Sorry for your ignorance, fellow.
A safe world with a father figure that makes sure that nothing changes
Except it diid. Before Christ, sin resulted in eternal death. The new testament gave a new covenant, and the sins were paid for, and you're given eternal life.
Then check out Revelations. The "something bad" is predicted.
And of course the stasis of the mind, which ignores or discredits any data that is contradictory or thought provoking as "the work of the devil".
Why do people insist on commenting about matters they know nothing whatever about? Read the damned book before you bash it.
For one thing, all phones with Android Market have Android Debug Bridge, letting the user sideload over USB.
Interesting, can you sideload over bluetooth or wifi as well? That would be a big selling point for me, I bought bluetooth dongles for both my computers (the cat lost the dongle for the notebook, it was on a table and when I got home the stuff was on the floor, dongle missing, damned cat must have used it for a toy) to transfer photos, recorded sound, movies, etc from my dumb qwerty phone.

Wouldn't be a very liquid market.
Stocks are not supposed to be liquid assets. They're supposed to be investments.
And what exactly is wrong with daytrading ?
It isn't investment, it's gambling. It does nothing to further the company and much to harm it, since it destroys any long term planning. It harms the economy by taking money out of long term investment and into gambling. Day trading is nothing more than high stakes roulette.

These people are pathetic.
Informing people is one thing, correcting someone is futile.
Depends on who the someone is. If I misuse a phrase and someone corrects me, I'm grateful for the lesson; I like to learn.
Of course, it depends on their tone of "voice".
