Nice spin. Great the way you worked your agenda in there, in the guise of "well if this is true, then the rest of what I have to say must be true to." Considering that King was reviled by a large hunk of America, and still is (see "Robert E. Lee Day), I guess the current civil rights leaders must be doing a decent job. From where I'm standing, Zimmerman was about a crazy vigilante who got off because his victim was black and the trial was in Florida. Quite different from your perspective.

Troll much?

One hit exclusive and everyone will eat crow and run out and buy one.

Or encode your messages OUTSIDE of the technology. At one time codes and cyphers were used for secret correspondences before creation (writing on paper) and transmission (hand carried by courier), but of course that takes effort at both ends.

So you expect your coworkers to be tied to their computer screen or constantly checking their cell phones? IM's are terrible for conveying anything except the most trivial information, e.g. a telephone number, or a real-time status. Important information, as you say, generally needs context and dialogue. This is why we use email, telephone, and face to face.

No, IM's are incredibly distracting. If I'm calling someone, it's because something needs to be discussed. If you can't talk at that time, then you call someone back. It's incredibly efficient, this dialog thing.

Again, face to face is often the best way to discuss things instead of back and forth in email. Email for monologs, sure, but face to face is the ONLY efficient way to find out if the other person really does understand.

Based on your comments, it looks you want to live in your own small little world and just do the tasks assigned to you. You have no interest in other employees or what is going on in other parts of the company. Good luck with that.

No, because politics never affects you, since you are so important. Give me a break.

No. Next question.

Please stop modding up FUD. This is DOWNLOADED code. They won't certify an app that then goes and downloads more code that they can't certify. You can write and run as much interpreted code as you want on the iPad, as long as you don't push it to other iPads. Sounds EXACTLY like using a programming calculator, except you have a lot more options.

So we have to build this to protect companies. Actually, company property. OK, no, actually the property that they rent, since they probably don't own it. What about the PEOPLE that will be flooded. Why should I care about protecting companies? Is our mindset really so fucked up that companies come first? Rhetorical question.

Then we have to change that government and military. The only way to save this planet in the long run is to get it out of the hands of the "free market" and into the hands of people with intelligence and integrity. The problem is those people rarely want that kind of power, but eventually they will have no choice but to step up.

What do all these companies do? Either they have some customers that Salesforce wants, or they have a "technology" that they want. Where "technology" is just some code that has to be completely rewritten to work with the existing Salesforce code. This to me looks like a company out of control.

I think Russia would be the experts, not the US. It's purely ego-centric to think that any nation would just at the US helping them out. BTW, I'm all in favor of disbanding congress, and bringing in another nation to redesign our government. I wonder how that would go over?

Bingo.

The 3D screen, while being a fun gimmick, is expensive to produce. At the same time it imposes a heavy hit to battery life due to both the energy costs of running the parallax barrier and the energy costs of the more powerful backlight needed to send enough light through that barrier. That's a big reason the original 3DS, despite its relatively puny SoC, only gets 3-5 hours on a single charge (typically closer to the former). So producing a model without the 3D screen, along with solving their unsafe-for-children problem, scratches an itch in the market for a version of the console without the 3D screen and its drawbacks.

The issue however is as you note: the rest of the design. I for one was hoping for a 3DS sans the 3D screen and that's it; maintain the size and the clamshell, just ditch the 3D screen. Instead we have something that looks like the bastard son of a tablet and a 3DS. Given the market Nintendo is going for (the under 7 crowd) this may make all the sense in the world for as far as I know; Nintendo does do their research before going ahead with their spacier ideas. But I'll freely admit it's not the 2DS I was wanting.

And that is the problem with most Americans. They mod this up, because doesn't everyone really just care about numero uno? If I sacrifice, no one else will, and they will laugh while I suffer? Sickening. Is this what we've become? From "land of the brave" to "land of craving grubbing cowards." Americans used to have a concept of "common or greater good," of "helping your neighbor," of "advancing the nation." Now it's just scrounging for scraps before the rest of the curs grab them. The problem is NOT the economy, it's NOT the criminals in congress, it's NOT the invisible terrorists, it's this attitude that it's not only OK to be selfish, but it's rational and expected.

Well, fuck you all and your tiny little world view. Humanity will grow and advance and reach out to the stars, and they will leave your filthy ass behind. It's time to bury Franklin's experiment, and get the people in this country who still have goals and ideals and courage someplace to do the work that needs to be done. I have no problem cutting loose the detritus. You are already dead and buried as far as I'm concerned.

Was that strong enough?

Since MS is a publicly traded mega-corporation. They just happens to sell software as one of their meriad ways to make money, I don't see how they could be made to "see the light." Unless you mean to stop selling software as part of their business?

It's a cheap second machine for anyone who plans to play the new Pokemon games. You need one to play, and one to trade, in order to get the interesting evolutions and version exclusives. It works like this. You play A all the way through. Then you play B, trade over the pokemon from A, get version exclusives, and breed. Then you play A one more time, trading all the eggs/babies over for a great starter set. Yes, the Pokemon franchise forces you to own two machines.
