It would seem to me that if a buyer and seller agree to make a transaction and the seller hands over the item; then, until the buyer pays, the buyer is in debt to the seller. Correct?
To me the unsettling part is that the "knee" joints on the back legs point in the opposite direction from the front legs. It's like Xavier: Renegade Angel.
Wouldn't having their own ecosystem allow them to draw ongoing profits from app sales, which they can't get now? Or do the individual Android manufacturers already get a sizable chunk of those sales?
I sat through half of the (long) video to see if this issue was being addressed. No luck. It's not apparent to me what is inherent in the technology that requires that step. Is it just a consequence of the current state-of-the-art control electronics? Can the flash be eliminated in future products?
I already own one TouchPad, but was hoping to buy a couple more for my family. WebOS is very nice. The browser is WebKit, email integration is excellent. I have Kindle, Angry Birds, Need For Speed, and I can do development for myself. At $99 it's a steal. Unfortunately, I can't find them in stock, anywhere.
Testing of your TouchPad app can often be done on your desktop by just dropping the top-level file onto an instance of Chrome (with a couple of options set). It sure made development easy.
I did not attempt to draw a correlation between the two. I merely showed his quote, which does not seem unreasonable, and showed statistics which appear to show that the issue is something about which society might justifiably be concerned. Apparently, you are not -- which is fine. However, I believe that people were looking for any excuse to mock Quayle, so they tried to trivialize the actual problem to which he was speaking.
"... Ultimately, however, marriage is a moral issue that requires cultural consensus, and the use of social sanctions. Bearing babies irresponsibly is, simply, wrong. Failure to support children one has fathered is wrong. We must be unequivocal about this.
It doesn’t help matters when prime time TV has Murphy Brown – a character who supposedly epitomizes today’s intelligent, highly paid, professional woman – mocking the importance of a father, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another “lifestyle choice.”
I know it is not fashionable to talk about moral values, but we need to do it. Even though our cultural leaders in Hollywood, network TV, the national newspapers routinely jeer at them, I think that most of us in this room know that some things are good, and other things are wrong. Now it’s time to make the discussion public...." -- Dan Quayle, May 19, 1992
Children born to unwed mothers in the US:
1990 - 28 percent
2008 - 41 percent
"[children brought up in single-mother homes] are five times more likely to commit suicide, nine times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape (for the boys), 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home." -- Village Voice
Seems like a good place to make a fanboi plug for my HP TouchPad. I've been waiting for a nice tablet that would let me avoid the walled garden and, so far, I'm very happy with the TouchPad. Three ways to develop your own apps 1) SDK - which is javascript/HTML widgets, 2) PDK - which is C++ and OpenGL, and 3) a hybrid mix of the two. Very easy to create professional-looking applications, Linux-based, multi-tasking WebOS, and pretty good selection of commercial apps so it should be attractive to lots of slashdotters.

What - you don't shoot clay pigeons with a rifle? How lame!
Could you elaborate, please?
Thank you. Unfortunately, for those on the other side of the political spectrum, your comment will be read as no more than "blah, blah, blah."

So what would happen if a large meteorite of pure gold landed in, say, England?

Nokia N810. Other than the bezel not being black, it seems to match the requirements.
Right. All around this area, Office Depots and Staples were swarmed at their openings. I found out much too late (around 11 am).
You don't need to hack it. All of the apps that were mentioned are built-in or available for free from the HP App Store.

That's quite debatable. It's pretty clear that Hollywood has worked hard to remove the stigma associated with single-parenthood by choice.

If it were me, I'd just use an arc reactor. Your solution seems too complex.
Was this a pre-production type unit? I thought that the Macs started with the 68000 family.
My Nokia N810 (circa 2007/2008) http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/B000Y4AH3C-multimedia.jpg is rectangularly-shaped with rounded corners and a headphone jack. Is that what Apple is suing about?
As part of its fund-raising strategy, NASA will be announcing a promotional tie-in with the new Disney movie "John Carter".
What happens when a human occupied vehicle crosses paths with one of these dead objects at 10,000km/h differentail speeds?
What happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?
What does your heart tell you? I hope so. Yes, I guess... Ugh, now I need a shower.
I don't remember that last line.
For example, I'd consider most of M Night Shyamalan's movies to be fairly original, and yet, somehow they often end up lame.
What a twist!

What?? But I've been rooting for you!
