Indeed, if the cops are going around robbing and murdering, why should any of us worry about a Facebook profile?
Let's hope they aren't tagged in hundreds of photos; that would mean hundreds of pages in the report. Captain Planet and the Planeteers would not be happy.
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'.
Why are people so foolish that they think they don't have the right to free speech? (Or travel, or privacy in their homes, et cetera.)
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
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.
MS might implement features they aren't aware of therefore when OO encounters corruption it just assumes it to be a new feature MS have implemented but which hasn't been reverse engineered yet.
Don't you mean bug? =)
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.
Adobe and Autodesk certainly. No student could afford the price of their design products, and they know it. I imagine they tolerate student piracy so that those students will go on to become professional users and pay for a licence, rather than turn to free software or lower-cost competitors.
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.
I do care, however, if a developer doesn't understand the difference between O(n) and O(logN).
Obveusly it's O(n) - O(logN)
