    Actually, Nexus 4 has a user replaceable battery. Just not an easily-replaceable one...

  5. Fabrice Bellard? on FFmpeg 1.0 MultiMedia Library Released · · Score: 1

    How come neither the article nor the official site (ffmpeg.org) does not mention Fabrice Bellard, the original author?

    They will make Windows phones. Or Bada. Just kidding, Samsung or HTC or LG or Sony do not have many choices than using Android.

    Also note that installing a pirated application in Android only requires ticking a checkbox, wheres in iOS it needs jailbreak, which is a frightening word for some.

  12. Re:Deserves Praise on Seth MacFarlane Helps LOC Acquire Carl Sagan Papers · · Score: 1

    The more realistic characters often have strong moral centers--eg. Lois and usually Bryan (Family Guy)

    The mere fact that you count a talking dog among the more realistic characters says it all...

    1- I asked that stupid bitch what is be the length of the the hypotenuse of a triangle that have a 45 degrees slope, a side measuring 3cm and a side measuring 4cm, the answer is evidently 5cm...

    This is an impossible triangle.

  14. Re:Good question! on The Science of Handedness · · Score: 1

    I don't think it is a single gene, since both left handed parents can have right handed children. If it was a single recessive gene, the children will most certainly left-handed.

    Again, if it was a single gene, the left handed vs right handed ratio would be closer to 25/75.

  21. Re:IIS still wins on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: 1

    You do understand that the corollary to that is the open source competitors save their users that same amount of money.

    Could it be that Android phones are cheap?

    One may argue that Android tablets are also cheaper, but a phone is (almost) a necessity, whereas a tablet is a luxury item. If you have to buy something, you go buy the one you can afford. If you don't have to, you just wait to be able to afford the one you actually like.
