    > There's also the issue of accidentally killing the wrong person....

    This combined with the way lawyers work (in the USA) is, by far, the biggest reason I am against the death penalty. There are far too many tales of exhoneration for me to even begin to consider it without serious reform.

  3. Actually, iOS's default search engine can be chosen by the manufacturer as well. ;)

    Would that be your Samsung, HTC, or Motorola iPad?

  5. And how does this "Apple hate" developed in a nerd community like /. ?

    Being on the same side of a controversial issue is an alternative to actually having friends.

  6. Because it's cool to hate Apple and nobody wants a Windows phone.

    Been there. If he's out to save face he'll just say you took your notes wrong. Your chances of failure won't go down if you don't understand what he wants. And I do mean 'wants' not 'what he told you he wants'.

    Try being client-facing some time, you'll learn how to become psychic because the paper-trail won't help you.

    No, no, and no.

  11. Neither on Slashdot Asks: Do You Prefer To Handwrite or Type Notes? (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Neither. I engage in the meeting, it's a conversation not a data-dump. I do use the notes feature in my phone to take down the bullet points of the conversation. When I get back to my desk I then type everything out using those bullet points as a guide.

    One of the things that drives me crazy when I give marching orders to my employees is when they insist on writing every step down. I don't mind a little note-taking, but the ones that try to write the whole conversations down are typically the ones that I end up having to give the most revisions to. When they discuss with me they form the correct picture in their head, then they perform like a brain instead of like a robot. When questions come up they can take a better guess at what the answer probably is if I'm not immediately around to answer.

    It pre-judges many, identified via superficial attributes, based on the actions of a few. You're right that the term isn't racism, mainly because that's not the term you use when going up against religion.

  13. In stark contrast to posting on Slashdot to get people to spend mod-points on your comment....

    Take a picture of the QR code, send it to tech support, they have all the info they need. I don't understand what the negativity is about.

    I don't know who this person is, so I'm taking your post at face value and.. yes, that's clearly hypocrisy. What the AC wrote, which echos criticisms of other politicians I have heard (without taking the context into account...) ,is not a contradiction.

  25. Re:Oh, like what S. Balmer said about the iPhone t on People Often Deride Game Changing Technology as 'a Toy' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes it did. Page reflow on the Treo worked fine with most sites of the day. You're talking about stuff that you clearly haven't experienced.

    Apparently not. Was this on the Palm OS version or the Windows version?

     

    The iPhone approach meant that you had to constantly zoom in and out to read a page and again. That's why mobile sites still exist to this day.

    Yep. Oh and by sheer coincidence it's also the approach all the mobile browsers in use today use, mainly because the automatic-reformatting was too spotty.
