I've been running flash on windows mobile for years and it has always sucked, and it appears it still sucks.

"Many" includes the vast sums of POS digital cameras already out there. My iPhone 4 sure as hell beats my 5 year old Sony P&S, my parent's 2 year old Kodak P&S, and my grandparents (I don't even know what brand it is but it's junk). I'm sure it is nowhere near the quality of a nice $350+ modern P&S camera but nobody expects it to be.

Icons are placed under the links toolbar, recycling bin and my "workplace" is pinned to the explorer folder. My workplace folder is where I keep my temporary projects or things I would normally just place on my desktop and gets gutted every week. http://imgur.com/IZKkp.jpg

Yes, sometimes (bondsman, repo), maybe.

Most public schools I went to long overgrew their original buildings and had a significant amount of bungalows, which tended to lack windows and sufficient air conditioning (and this was at a California Distinguished School).

Hasn't Microsoft used BSD-variant code in several of their programs (or at least in the past)? I imagine high quality free code with few restrictions is beneficial for them, even if they simply assimilate it. I haven't RTFA but I imagine this isn't about that, or linux desktops, it is trying to establish more integration with linux server environments.

They definitely researched psychological reward systems when designing the game. First, you are highly encouraged to run through the campaign missions twice if you are running on normal difficulty, as each mission will typically only have a reward when unlocked on hard. Second, the multiplayer is highly designed around reward systems, from the initial low quantity of portraits, 50 game practice league matches before level-matchmaking starts (can be skipped, but you are highly encouraged not to), and the reward/achievement/portrait unlock system. I'm not knocking Blizzard for doing this, as the game is highly entertaining (at least for me), but I don't see an anytime in the future of me winning 1000 matches as protoss to unlock a bad-ass portrait, as I only game an hour or two each day. With all 3 campaigns a completionist is probably looking at several hundred hours.

You probably don't need a 5770, you can get a 4770 for about $30-60 cheaper and it will likely be more than enough. I can play any game out there right now on high settings at 1680x1050. If you run a higher resolution you do probably want the 5770. In

I'm totally fine with that if you have the same punishments for talking on the phone, texting, eating or drinking fluids while driving, adjusting the radio while the car is in motion, driving while under the influence of a good number of pharmaceuticals (including OTC medications like benadyl), driving while tired, driving while disciplining children, using a GPS device while the vehicle is in motion, talking to passengers, or everything else that impairs driving to a similar level as a 0.8 BAC DUI. Everything I mentioned above is a choice, just like drinking. Otherwise IMO for a first time non-extreme DUI with no complications 100 hours of community service is a far more positive punishment. However, the stats don't lie, and expect this to be everywhere and eventually mandatory (in a less hostile fashion) for everyone.

No, Windows 7 Mobile tablets, which run on ARM. For once MS designed an OS for touch/mobile/tablets (I have no idea if it actually accomplishes that).

Like democracy, slashdot's moderation is the best shit of all the shits but it is still shit. Much better than reddit or digg. Slashdot does have its groupthink, but I see positively modded opposing views far more often on slashdot than reddit or digg. And I don't see how this is a big deal, I left digg 2 years ago because it was a portal for daily kos and Huffington Post I'm not even a neo-con. This seems like the pot calling the kettle black.

Except walmart is as cheap as k-mart and somehow manages to make k-mart look like the bottom of a urinal trough at a bar in Nogales.

Maybe he doesn't want to work for anyone and wants to make bank in his spare time writing ifart applications.

Actually most generalizations are true, it is the outliers which makes things interesting. Stereotypes exist for a reason, because we are programmed to form inclusive small groups and shortcuts. We don't have time to critically analyze every single decision there is to be made and every scenario that occurs during the day, so we learn to take shortcuts and generalize and stereotype, even if we are not aware we are doing it. I get perplexed when I see people that say "I don't generalize" or "I don't stereotype", because they do, they are just not aware of it.

I hate to jump on the anti-3D bandwagon (I actually really enjoyed Avatar despite the plot) but why in the past 2 years is there a sudden jump towards 3D (Nintendo, Nvidia/ATI, Sony, TV companies, etc)?
