Even more confusing is why they are bragging that it is big. It is a piece of electronics!
That be like a programmer bragging "I made a printer driver that was 4 GIGS, biggest print driver EVER!". Seriously, bragging about the size is retarded. Then they go on to brag at how awesome of a launch system they needed just to get it into space. Something like "The driver was so bloated people had to buy new computers just to install the driver!"
On a related note, the city of Tokyo is REALLY big. It is such a big spy satellite that we currently have no launch vehicle remotely near being able to lift all of Tokyo into space! It weighs trillions of tons and completely dwarfs the American built satellite. It even has a few million occupants! Amazing compared to the drab unmanned spy satellite that the US has.
Waste to Power Generators produce heavy polution. Even if they do create 5000mwh it is hardly ever worth building. Better to use a few city ordinances to keep waste managed. And then build a nuclear power plant, fucking 16,000mwh for only 40grand hell yes.
They do have 'debit cards' in the states. But there they generally are in reality credit cards. The thing that makes them similar is that they are credit cards with automatic payments and punishments if you go over.
Ah, you are totally right. So much for my upset. I thought people were wrongfully referring to Laissez-faire markets when they said free market... apparently they were right.
I've still no idea why people could possibly think a market with 0 regulation would be valuable to consumers. It is insanely conducive to monopolies. And with shrunk government and freer markets... The power of evil rich corporations is horrible.
:( My assumption that people got the term wrong rather than were completely retarded was far more comforting.
Windows is FAR FAR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR more open than the vast majority of mobile phone offerings. Hell winmo is one of the most open platforms and cellphone companies are locking them down a scary degree.
As for the point about linux. It helps. It doesn't need to have a huge market share to make the marketplace more open. MS knows that if they lock things down like apple. It will become year of the linux desktop. If they don't keep innovating/progressing it'll become year of the linux desktop. And competing with something free, incumbent, with thousands of coders, lots of business deals and huge flexibility. Is not something anyone wants to take a real stab at.
Apparently verizon modified the phone so users viewing the market cannot see google. (Uncomfirmed afaik since i don't have a verizon-android phone) And that if you DO install the google launcher it redirects to bing anyways. Which you see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WGgyI_1AU4
The market won't sort its self out if companies put too high a price to switch and close down the phone. If a user has to format the phone or root it then the free market won't happen.
Ugh Google has to exert control to be able to KEEP android free. Apple exerts effort to keep iOS monopolized.
I run into the same fucking terrible misunderstanding while talking about the free market. A market with no restrictions or controls does NOT result in a free market. It results in a few groups dominating and controlling it to the misfortune of all of the others. A FREE market requires strict controls and enforcement in order to stop stagnation and monopoly.
We have an n of 1 at the planetary level. We can rule out a dozens of planets as not completely coated in carbon based life in oxygen/water environments. But we have no idea what forms life can come in. We can't determine things about rare forms of life on even planets in this solar system. If there were microscopic life below the crust on the moon its totally possible we wouldn't know about it and that is the body we have had the most contact with.
And remember that the number of planets out there is astonishingly high.
The level of dismissal is the same as... Some guy getting a cold; looking around at the people in the room not noticing anything wrong with them. And from that concluding that he is the only person to ever have any illness of any kind.
The idiot isn't aware of the millions of possible types of illnesses and has no idea what to look for. Even IF other people had a cold they might not show it. And he is barely scratching the surface of what would be needed to find anything conclusively. And I mean, how many billion on the planet now? Thinking he is the only one, totally unique amongst so many is silly. At least without any real investigation.
Yeah because we've explored hundreds... or at least dozens of planets as thoroughly as we have earth.
Oh wait. We've just been to the moon, an unlikely place to find life and have spent all of what? A couple hours or so on the surface with just a couple guys. And their exploration was only a few meters on foot. And they didn't have any drilling equipment or anything similar.
That actually has a variety of charges that can apply. Not one of rape. 'Failure to inform' or 'wilfully causing egregious bodily harm' are common but in some places it falls under assault or even murder/manslaughter. The latter more likely due to not updating laws for this particular type of offence.
Rape is publicly damning. If he got busted for jaywalking or filesharing or poor parking or something obscure like wearing pink on a wednesday in some stupid little town. Then that would put people on his side.
A 'hero' is some one you are supposed to look up to and possibly strive to be more like. Mark Zuckerberg is an evil asshole that got to where he is through underhandedness.
Completely offtopic: Firefox's built in spell checker wants to correct asshole to arsehole. Weird.
>.> he's my 'hero'... role model? embodiment of aspiration?
Which is funny because I never had any 'heroes' as a kid. The only people I looked up to at all that I didn't know in real life were fictional. Apparently they don't count.
Atm there is nothing stopping MS from paying Verizon to make Google artificially slow. Or for that matter putting ads on Google's site for Bing.
More likely what will happen is something like two-tiered health care (and the reason it is a failure). Verizon will charge places like Google double so that they get faster access to you. Then to ensure more people pay for their faster service they will slowly degrade their regular lane until it is horribly unusable. At which point everyone will have to be paying verizon double or they mean little to nothing on the internet. If verizon can't justify degrading their regular lane what they will do is never upgrade it. And in 5 years 500kb/s will seem pretty fucking poor, to the exact same effect.
I'm sure if I had several million dollars riding on it I'd be able to come up with several thousand other ways to abuse the freedom.
Phone - Person A gets charged for bit xfered. Cellphone - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered. Internet - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered. Net neutrality fails - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered. Then person A gets charged to connect to person B instead of person C. And person B gets charged so that person A is allowed to call them.
Completely unrelated to net neutrality. Thanks for your off topic input.
Also, ISPs don't want to do what you propose. Not because they can't... in fact it'd be easy for them to do so. But likely that would drop their profits too much. All the $60/mnth people that use their internet for e-mail would end up paying them less....much less.
If you didn't know the above 'interview' is actually a near perfect transcript of actual conversations that mark had in past. Google "fuck them in the year". The guy is seriously evil.

Exactly! And CRTs were fucking terribly inconvenient.
It was a Google van? Should have guessed :/

To be fair I don't think many people got it.

Since when is windows == MSOffice? Anyways, try to move anything from a symbian to an iphone and you'll see my point.
Strict doesn't necessarily mean obtrusive. You could have a strict law banning raping small children. That would't impinge on your sex life though.

Nope, it is only precise to 1 significant digit. Hence 1000.
In case you couldn't tell I'm playing devils advocate, no need to get worked up about it.

Concrete can have a pH as high as 14 or so... Decent gap between that and rain water.
1000% Per year. never compounded.

Nono. That is currently implemented.
Person A calls Person B.
Phone - Person A gets charged for bit xfered.
Cellphone - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered.
Internet - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered.
Net neutrality fails - Person A and B get charged for bit xfered. Then person A gets charged to connect to person B instead of person C. And person B gets charged so that person A is allowed to call them.
Seriously, it is that stupid.
