It's sad, but true. iOS still has the best accessibility options for blind and low vision users. Well, you might as well say it's the only option as it's completely unmatched.
Blind people seems to be OK with that.
They're used to getting screwed, paying way too much for accessible tech.
Are you a scientist? I don't think you are.
I'm starting to seriously doubt your credentials...
you can't just say shit like "the last thing we need is ___" without testing the damned hypothesis
That's not an hypothesis, not in the scientific sense at least, as it's not testable. Not for any given combination of 'we' and ___!
I haven't met anyone yet with the interest but not the aptitude. I taught computer programming to adult learners for several years as an optional part of a computer literacy series. I had exactly two students fail to complete the course -- both because they refused to do any of the exercises. You can't learn to program without programming, just like you can't learn to drive without driving.
Programming is absurdly simple. It's been my experience that anyone can learn to write computer programs with surprisingly little effort. This terrifies some people. I'll let you puzzle out why.
Yeah, it's so hard that children can easily teach themselves. It's ridiculously easy. How many of the users here taught themselves to write code before they age of 10? Face it, it doesn't take a special mind or superior intellect to write code. It does not make you special. Get over it.
Junkie logic.
That's all this is. "Look, normal weight people can be unhealthy too!" (So it's okay that I'm obese...) "Personal responsibility never works!" (So I shouldn't even try...)
If we really want to solve the societal pandemic of obesity we need to completely discard the idea that it's caused by some personal moral failing
(It's not my fault that I can't control my diet or be bothered to exercise regularly. It's society!)
I've little doubt that this post will justify that package of Oreos you'll shovel down later. Damn society, keeping you fat.
Sun come up, sun goes down, he had the only holodeck on DS9, never a miscommunication. You can't explain that.
You may want to review the term "null hypothesis".
SICP is popular right now, but I'd hardly call it divinely inspired.
I posted you a link which clearly shows:
Many states forbid either assault rifles or both kinds of weapons, e.g. New York AFAIK
Ah, I see. You just don't understand what you posted.
Give it another go. You'll figure it out. (Hint: It does support your claim. Quite the opposite, in fact.)
Let's review:
Private citizens can own handguns and assault rifles
This is true.
Many states forbid either assault rifles or both kinds of weapons, e.g. New York AFAIK
This is false.
Your earlier post supports my assertion, as it makes it very clear that the State of New York does not "forbid" "both kinds of weapons".
So
Well, it works acceptably on my BlackBerry Z10. Way better than jQuery Mobile at least, but that's not exactly a high-bar.
It works wonderfully on my bargain-basement Windows 7 netbook in Chrome 31, but doesn't work at all in FireFox 25 or IE 11.
I figure by that time it works acceptably in enough places, it'll be useless -- solving a problem no one has any more.
That's not true.
