But until we get there, most people kinda know their bodies != what's on screen. And the ones that do think that, well, a round of darwin awards on me.
Uh, no. Most people who have played FPS games and basically never done anything in real life don't, and that was kind of my entire point in targeting and tailoring training around FPS gamers.
Er... what? What utter rubbish. Citation required.
Please go back and re-read, because I said just the opposite. Perhaps *you* only go on looks in bars/clubs, but you'll find that many if not most women do not.
Honestly getting the feeling you don't go out much, or live in a bubble or something.
Since you seem to suffer from reading incomprehension, let me explain it to you. The OP was making a case for adding third party repositories to the standard Apple package manager so that less tech savvy Apple users don't only have the Apple Store to download from. I am making the point that Apple doesn't want that because it would cut into profits. Understand?
I stopped reading at this point, I'm sure you go on to rant about Jobs or something wonderfully fascinating. The OP said he's amazed Apple don't allow third party repositories, I followed that up with a comment that it would totally defeat the whole point of the App Store to do that, with the sandbox and security requirements. The WHOLE point of the App Store is so that, in your words "less tech savvy Apple users" don't have to worry about where their software comes from and is protected by sandboxing. Adding more repositories totally breaks the point of the App Store when there is a huge amount of free and open source software on the App Store and countless other places for more experienced OSX users to install software. Apple making money from that changes nothing.
So your point is, Apple is making money for offering a service (the bastards, how dare a business make money off a service they provide while allowing users to continue installing software any other way they choose from other sources outside of their store) and just HAD to add that in there with a rude comment which didn't actually change the point, i.e. "I'm amazed Apple don't allow third party repositories", "that would go against what Apple are trying to do with the App Store". Wonderful, thanks for your completely pointless contribution. You're an idiot.
Enjoy your follow up rant, I'm sure it will be wonderful and still won't change that one single point.
WTF are you talking about? Paid programs on the app store are nearly always cheeper, often by a large amount, than from other sources and can be installed legally on five computers instead of just the usual one. The App Store is a safe way to find software with a push towards finding software that uses sandboxing and there is plenty of free and open source software, to include other repositories would break the whole point of the place and it's clearly having no ill effect on a large number of OSX users using open source software, even if Apple's entire idea is to drain users of their money that doesn't change the point that was made.
OOH wait I get it, you wanted your little podium moment to let everyone know you don't like Apple, while making no actual point. This is a safe place, this is Slashdot, you're safe here.
Maybe it's different in the US, but virtually every HDTV sold over here already has at least one USB port.
No idea how you got voted informative because that's just basically wrong. And this really wouldn't be anything like plugging a computer into your TV.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
