No, entirely unlike CCW permit holders, because you misquoted me, specifically leaving off the end of the line you quote. Here it is bolded for your benefit.
trained, licensed, regulated guys with guns, who can only carry on duty, don't take their firearm home, etc.
Are CCW permit holders only allowed to carry on duty (whatever that might mean in the context of a private citizen) and (more importantly) not allowed to take their firearm home?
So what they're saying is the only way they can stop bad guys with guns is good guys with guns. Gee where have I heard that recently....
Well, they may be saying is the only way they can stop bad guys with guns is trained, licensed, regulated guys with guns, who can only carry on duty, don't take their firearm home, etc. Just like most of the civilized world do.
I can't really tell amongst all the double talk, but I am pretty sure that you backtracked & now agree with me that Apple use netBSD of linux because of political & not technical reasons.
Really, which LCD displays do they supply to Apple?
Apple tried to diversify their supply chain away from Samsung. Sharp are amongst those who made the retina displays for the iPhone 5 (and the mini Ipad)
This would be a really good time for Samsung to put the boot in. Interesting to see if they do anything.
Apple & Samsung can sell us non-modifiable devices with locked-down hardware apparently this is supposed to make Linux take over
The vast majority of Samsung ARM devices are modifiable & do not have locked-down hardware. Apple on the other hand does, but I have no idea why you think Apple's locked down devices are going to help Linux take over (wtf have you been smoking?).
Of course people are jogging & all the other things that a very small / light media player is good for. But the market for small / light players is vanishing because the number of joggers etc willing to get a dedicated player as well as a smartphone is shrinking.
Of course the iPod Touch is part of the iPod line. And it allows people access to the iOS App Store for much less money than an iPhone.
Yes, as I said in another post, one of the biggest competitors to the iPod is the iPhone. For those who are cost-conscious, android beckons.
Do you mean the competition between the various Apple players?
The biggest competitor to iPods produced by Apple is not another iPod, but the iPhone. Nearly everyone carries a phone, why carry two devices?
More importantly from Apple's POV is the competition from low end android phones. They're the same price as even the cheapest iPods, and offer a whole fuck-ton more functionality to boot.
The competition is not from other dedicated PMPs, but from Android phones. Why buy an ipod when you can get one of the cheap-ass androids for the same price.
(I know, I know, joggers etc like a small light PMP, but its a vanishing market)
yeah. just like how so-called "agave nectar" is made in almost exactly the same way as evil, evil corn syrup.
Care to elaborate on that? I thought heat / filtration was used for agave syrup production, but a far more complex series of Enzyme conversions were needed for HFCS production.
Disclaimer: I live in a country where cheap sugar & honey are abundant, so I have no pony in this race.
And Canola Oil is the world's first GMO, but somehow that doesn't stop it from showing up in every health food store even though they wouldn't be caught dead with ANY OTHER GMO.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Canola was the first commercial GMO, but unmodified Canolas are still grown.
Do you believe that once someone starts growing a genetically modified variant of a plant that the health food crowd stop eating the non-GM variants of that plant?
By Sunday night, the government said that it has already collected half of the plastic pellets that had been spilled, including 50 tons of pellets in sacks that were scooped up from the water. The government said the clean-up effort is still continuing.
“This is an ongoing process,” secretary for the environment Wong Kam-sing told reporters on Sunday, pledging to stay attentive as the situation continues to develop.
In the meantime, environmental groups praised the government for its swift response to the spill,
Youtube gave google a BIG voice in the war to define web video standards. Sure, their choice didn't win in the end, but its presence changed the state of play considerably. Youtube's strategic value is immense. Worth far more today than what google paid.
Google is good and would never sue anyone. I guess they are just looking for some more FRAND abuse smackdown.
Defensive (or even retaliatory) litigation is not looked at as unkindly as patent trolling (or other common abuses of the patent system)
Google will learn this is the worst 12.5b anyone ever spent.
Uh-huh. Google's a pretty smart company, I recollect the number of slashdot armchair analysts who say they'd regret the price they paid for youtube. I think the MM buy is going to work out just as well for them.
Anyone who complains will be called a homophobe and sent for re-education.
What a load of shit. If anyone was walking around slapping bottoms, they would be dismissed on complaint regardless of the gender or sexuality of anyone involved.
Then Greenpeace and various other eco-loonies convinced the African governments that it was better to starve than to eat our miracle engineered grains.
Really? The article you link to says otherwise. Basically, the African nations were worried about economics, not ecology. They were worried about contamination meaning that they would not be able to export corn and other crops to their largest export market (the EU). Note that the US is already banned from exporting corn to the EU.
And for those wondering if the African nations are being silly not using the new miracle engineered seeds, consider this, also from the same article:
Since the beginning of the biotech revolution in the 1990s, the industry had claimed that its products would eventually save the world from hunger and malnutrition, but it had not worked out that way. The first biotech crops--corn, soybeans, and canola, with "built in" pest and herbicide resistance--were created for the developed world. They boosted corporate profits and were available only to the wealthier farmers who could afford the premium on the new seed.
The problem with your statement is this retarded notion that your phone is a general purpose computer.
I can attach a keyboard, full monitor & mouse to my android phone & use it to do pretty much whatever the fuck I like. I can run a full-blown-browser, ssh server, apache, transcode videos, anything in the entire debian software stack (via chroot).
So, explain to me, exactly why the fuck my phone is not a general purpose computer? Frankly, I think you'll find the only thing that is retarded around here is your comment.
Slashdot Mirror
Only the iPad has the more modern software being written today...?
You can't be serious? That is fucking hysterical. You're the epitome of the OP's ""Apple fanboys are delusional" stereotype."
Seriously. Thank you, that comment has made my day.
You mean like CCW permit holders?

I can't see anyone tolerating that level of discomfort without a really really good reason.

Apple uses NetBSD, probably the best OS for embedded network applications.
*rolls eyes*.
Is that why Cisco uses freely-avaiable netBSD? Why virtually every router manufacturer on the world relies on netBSD OSS code?
netBSD is a great OS, but it's known for portability, not performance. Apple uses it over linux because of publicity & fear-of-theGPL.

IIRC it was something along the lines of 50-100ms
My link said 12ms. Do you have a source for your 50-100?
yeah. just like how so-called "agave nectar" is made in almost exactly the same way as evil, evil corn syrup.

Your only choice for this is probably iOS, since Android's latencies are still much much higher than is required for real time audio.
Audio Latency is much better in Jelly Bean, so you're probably better off with Android given how much more hacker-friendly the ecosystem is.
You quoted the GP as "I always suspect racism", when the full context was "For things like that, I always suspect racism"
The GP sounded like a dick, and now so do you.
You say:
No authority, no government cares.
But your linked article says:
You're bringing up Youtube?! Why?
Youtube gave google a BIG voice in the war to define web video standards. Sure, their choice didn't win in the end, but its presence changed the state of play considerably. Youtube's strategic value is immense. Worth far more today than what google paid.

Wow! You're a moron.
there's billion sources...
A billion huh? And you couldn't even provide one? Anyway, to reply to the gist of your post:
1) I am most decidedly not a fan of Monsanto.
2) You're lying. Your quote is from this page and when not altered by you, reads:
This quote is talking about GM foods in a general (and even future) sense.
1) You've moved the goalposts from vegetarian to vegan.
2) Round up ready crops have bacterial genes, not porcine genes inserted into them.
So, based on the evidence you've provided, your statement "No real vegetarians" is both false and stupid.
Hate to break this to you chump, but a tiny bit of pig DNA doesn't turn a corn cob into an animal.
Anyone who complains will be called a homophobe and sent for re-education.
