While arguably 3D TVs and projectors for movies and the like are still just a gimmick, having 3D-like screens on gaming devices make a lot more sense.
Especially considering the form factor of the 3DS, it's nice. For more serious gaming, though, we still want this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw
Purse mirror, eh? Right next to the credit card, eh? No problem with that extreme magnetism, eh?
Or surely, your girl friend requires only cash?
That's only helpful for the 10% or so of people who are gay. As a straight guy, I'd rather have the least attractive guy doing the pat down. At least someone less attractive then myself. That way, it's him that can feel bad about themselves, not me.
I choose the body scanners, but they are annoying. I'm not too worried about the radiation, but they are slower then metal detectors. They require you to take off your belt, watch, boarding pass etc, when I can normally get through a metal detector with those still on. But worse is thinking about how there is now one more person in the world who knows how "inadequate" you are in certain proportions. It doesn't matter if that person doesn't know who you are, it still makes YOU think about it and feel bad about yourself.
So... Not being gay, you choose the "least attractive guy" so that the more attractive guys don't know "how inadequate you are in certain proportions"?
Hmmmm...
I don't give a flying fuck how many digits are present, what do you mean? I thought we were talking about software?
You throw the banana seed, the monkeys start growing palm trees...
Aw, I was so much, "Yes! Someone is talking about the purity and point of SQL" (relation algebra, etc.) until you started bashing Ruby on Rails. RoR is EXACTLY about understanding the point of leaders in a domain.
SQL is beautiful, RoR understands that.
You seem like a retarded monkey? Born in the 40s? Stopped caring in the 80s?
Buying a used satellite is like buying a used bus... the only reason someone would sell it is because it has become cheaper to buy a new one than to maintain the old one!
Tell that to the Chinese. Anyone who's ever been to China will know that the entire communal transport system is based on "left-over" buses from all parts of Europe, including Eastern Europe. They tear out the innards and replace them with electric motors, sometimes leaving stuff hanging out from the back.
Funny thing is, their buses are more frequent and more on-time than the ones in my "developed" country, Denmark, where the buses are sparkling new and never on time
Well, as I always say, "If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your mouth."
Lemon. PASS
Horse. PASS
Pee. PASS
Polyethylendicarbonate. FAIL
Arnold Schwarzenegger. FAIL
Well, either that, or Microsoft adheres to Darwinian standards.
It's like the self-peeling, self-feeding banana. So the ape is too dumb to peel it and eat it itself? Let an ebola-diseased fungus "auto-peel" it, and if the monkey dies from it, well that's natural selection for you, right there.
So only 60% pirated, eh?
Congratulations on that! You beat everything else!
Stil sucks to be so crappy that one wouldn't even pirate the OS, though, right? Ah, well, I promise to listen to more stories of your world. It's interesting, really, I mean that, good with some change to the real world
XOXO
Well, they're recognizing the symptoms, but missing the point completely.
It's the typical IT professional's misconception: "I'm using computers, therefore my skills are based on mathematics."
No, no, no, no, no. A programmer is a linguistic being. Mathematical skills are most definitely a plus, but in my experience, the most gifted developers are the ones who are also able to express themselves verbally and in writing, and who understand the difference between the thing and "the thing".
Mastering a programming LANGUAGE is different to mastering a human language only in that when programming, you're actually CREATING a language. The levels of abstraction are immense when you know what you're doing, as is the power, and really - if non-geeks like Heidegger, Foucault, Berger and Luckmann had the tools back then that we have know, they'd been friggin' ecstatic!
You want a good developer? Look at how the resumé and application are written and constructed. You can sort out the first 90% of crud right there. Find someone who knows how to express himself or herself concisively and correctly and you have a starting point.
(Btw, I'm Danish, so I know my English is crap
That settles it. I'm NOT purchasing any new hardware until 2018.
