What I haven't seen someone point out is that the average Android user is more technologically advanced than the average iPhone or Windows Phone user. Therefore, percentagewise, as given in the article, there will be less people calling for simple software/computer illiterate tech support and more people calling for true failures/critical errors.

Remember back in your tech support days where you got calls asking how to open up Office or how to get to the Internet or why your laptop won't turn on... oh wait that happens to me anyway just because I've got a job in 'computers'.

People do have a right to free speech (I'm assuming you were going towards US constitutional rights). However, they may not have a right to using the medium. Things don't construct and maintain themselves magically. You need manpower, which converts to money, to do it. If you want the Internet, you A) pay a private company for your usage of the medium, or B) pay a public company (aka government) to give access to the Internet.

You're welcome to go ahead and dig trenches connecting cities, states, and countries.

Eventually, whether I agree with it or not, I believe Internet companies are going to be regulated and managed like the essentials: electricity, gas, and water.

The post had 3 parts:

1: "I love it"
Funny because the consensus is 'horrible', from the title.

2. Steve
Steve Jobs would say that because it's WHITE. I don't know if you've noticed, but Apple loves white.

3. Sent from my iPhone
Builds on 2. Would you really expect anyone on /. to carry an iPhone over Droid? Why do you care if it's sent from an iPhone or via telegraph?

I hope you're now sure why it got modded funny. If not, please look for the rainbows and unicorns someone else found on the website.

Exactly what I was thinking. I looked at my email and was happy I won the lottery. Then I got back here and realized it was all a joke.

And I just assumed MS was being a b**** by removing shortcuts in 2007 ant 2010. Good thing I use OpenOffice (and soon LibreOffice) for everything. Though it was annoying not being able to save simply by pressing Ctrl+S

Don't you mean bug? =)

Well, look at these people. They've tried.

Well if you're going to be picky, they're using significant digits. 400 is accurate to within 50 pounds; 6 tons is accurate to within 0.5 tons, 1,000 pounds.

Essentially, 400 pounds +/- 50 pounds and 12,000 pounds +/- 1,000 pounds.

I agree. Why wait until Christmas to give each other presents? Why not do it throughout the year? Why wait until Valentine's Day to give each other chocolates and flowers? Why wait until Veterans' Day to honor veterans? These are all things we should always be doing. These days shouldn't be reminders or requirements for each other.

I wonder about the people who work tirelessly just to make their child's holiday 'perfect'. We should know better than that and should teach our children likewise.

Doesn't it seem awkward to you that engineers are held to a strict standard on ethics yet they're pirating Autodesk? Just throwing it out there.

Obveusly it's O(n) - O(logN)

Unless you get one with an oversized spout (is that the word?). Kind of like how fast food restaurants give you a bigger straw, so you drink more and run out faster.

I took keyboarding in 6th grade, around 2000. Schools should be teaching it at the middle school level, if not earlier. Calling a high school class 'computer science' when it's just simple keyboarding and common-sense surfing the net is misleading to colleges and not fair to other applicants. Fortunately, my high school actually tought languages, but not much beyond that. Then again I only took the first year since all future years conflicted with my required language class >:( ...

A few times throughout the year, I find that I either receive a neighbor's mail by accident or someone else receives one of my bills, addressed correctly. I know this is a bit of a tangent, but what if one of your neighbors keeps it or operates ID theft?

Well I'd prefer they do research from scholastic, peer-reviewed sources. Even that can be subject to interpretation. Wikipedia is good for general information, but not something you want to rely on. Anyone can decide to edit the article and include something false, intentionally or unintentionally. Other sites can also be unreliable or biased, but this isn't the place to discuss that.

The judge can provide additional information, when asked. Jurors may look something up in the wrong place. For example, the definition of rape is different in Webster's Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, dictionary.com, urbandictionary.com, a medical dictionary, an encyclopedia, state law, local statute, etc. Likewise, the information on the term she looked up may have been one-sided or directed towards a specific audience or situation.
