Yes, the latinum is so precious that each bar has a very small amount mixed with the gold; without the gold pure latinum would either be excessively expensive for a bar that could be handled or so small that handling it for transactions would be impractical.

I had to do some JavaScript at work and talked them into letting me use Dart instead; unfortunately, Dart isn't perfect either (get rid of the dynamic typing and get Dart VM support (instead of it running dart2js) and get it out of beta and it would probably be a lot better. It's definitely a step in the right direction but still too dynamic for me. I prefer structure.

Yeah, it's so great that it'll allow you to just decide to use some member variable somewhere without declaring it and making it impossible for someone maintaining it to know that it even exists. Or the fact that there's no way to know the type of a variable without basically reverse engineering the source code in its entirety.

1. Being dynamic

No, we shouldn't build applications in browsers in the first place.

Please, for everyone's sanity, stop it with the JavaScript crap; it's a terrible language, a terrible platform for applications, and supporting it is just prolonging it's Reign of Terror. (this is why we still have flash).

I logged in to say this. Linus (with an 'S') needs to jump off his high horse and be a personable human being. I have nothing against riding someone for breaking stuff but he's intolerable.

Why is the X logo by the story? This has nothing (directly) to do with X. Just because they opened their documentation doesn't mean X is the main focus...

I did something similar after a conversation at work using a 53' Semi Trailer and 4TB HDDs.

Semi = 630" x 94" x 102"
HDD = 4" x 1" x 5.75"
Total HDDs = 262628
Total Storage = 1050512 TB
Bandwidth from NYC to SF = 55.58 Tbps (42 hours according to google maps)

So someone can't be satisfied with how much TV they watch while at the same time be dissatisfied with their content provider, the costs incurred, and requiring commercials? I don't think satisfaction between the two are 1:1.

Except that I have a phone to use instead of giving them $800 and waiting two years to get it. Also, affording something over two years ie cell plan is easier to budget for than a large $800 chunk.

Yeah, "the pictures" which is why I said "design." Why are you being a troll? I didn't say, "The completed phone is amazing; too bad they only built one of them."

The design is interesting and I'd love a dual-boot android/ubuntu device but I can't spend $600, let alone $830 on a phone.

Pretty good. First computer = 8MB, current = 16GB, so:

7 * log10(2048) + 10 = 33.179 (I'll be 30 in November)
