How many jobs were created in Ireland because of this? Was any manufacturing moved to Ireland? Any product development? Even any sales or marketing?
two-phase commit
I'd say just to be safe, you should be using 3- or 4-phase commit.
Oh yeah? Well my database goes up to 11-phase commit.
You are probably more right than you realize. If the phone is parallel to your leg it won't bend. If it rests non-parallel against your thigh and you sit down, the fabric of your clothes will stretch it around your thigh, thus bending it.
If the fabric of my pants is stronger than my phone, then something is wrong, either with the phone or my pants.
I think there's some disturbing parallels to the zombie/ebola outbreak scenario.
A lot of people laughed when the CDC put out their "Zombie Survival Guide", but this is why it wasn't just some big joke. The CDC published what is really just a guide for handling an outbreak of a major contagious disease, like Ebola, and just called the disease "Zombie" for fun.
Whatever Apple says you want, that's what you get.
Sadly, there are people out there that consider this a good thing. They don't want to think about what they want, they just want Apple to tell them what's best for them.
And neither does the American Secret Service. If you intend to use this technology to engage in terrorist activities, we will find you. You can't escape the SS.
Apparently you didn't read the news this weekend.
Actually, give me one regulatory agency that has shrunk or disbanded itself when it was no longer needed.
Your request contains an assumption that you have provided no reason to believe is true.
Ignoring the desires of 40% of the population is a wee bit undemocratic, wouldn't you agree?
Uh, no, if the other 60% desired otherwise, ignoring the desires of 40% of the population would, by definition, be completely democratic. That's why we don't have true democracies.
NFC payments, big screens, and optical image stabilization are the second coming, apparently.
I see what you did there.
...for real estate agents to create quick walk throughs or better descriptions of property.
Similarly, if the resolution is good enough, it might let contractors and designers get an accurate model of a room without needing to use a camera and tape measure on every surface.
Why does it need to be an everyday thing? Most smart phone users don't take photographs every day, but they put the camera on there nonetheless.
Sadly, I'm not sure that's true.
Good ones: Inkscape, Thunderbird, Blender, VirtualBox, Linux...
Crappy ones: GIMP, Tahoe-LAFS, Ubuntu, Kdenlive, XFCE...
I personally think that you hit the sweet spot when you have a name which sounds cool and professional, is easy to remember, and at least tries to vaguely describe the function of the program.
A lot of software fails your last requirement (Thunderbird, Blender, Linux for a lot of people), but that isn't limited to open source software. While Microsoft has the reasonably-named Windows and Word, they also have Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint.
