WOW all the way down at 31... so far down there! First I agree that they often come accross as "entitled self-absorbed people"; that said. Hmmm so it's at 31 of ~967,247,000 currently tracked sites by http://www.internetlivestats.c... Lets see... 31/967247000 ... wow that comes back as 3.20497246308337e-8 . So yeah I'm pretty sure they are in the 1% of the 0.00003204 percent. Seems like front page to me. BTW I only care that you are using smoke and mirrors with number to make your point valid. I could care less where reddit ranks or what dumb thing they say about themselves.

So, since it was so obvious. What should Nokia done? Stick with their internal OSes that weren't competitive? Move to Android and be a me too? Started from scratch, again? Everyone seems to want to pretend Nokia was in a good place and THEN Elop came along. His memo was stupid (in that he should have known it would get out and would have horrible side effects). But it wasn't wrong. They were in a bad place and the projected trend numbers seemed likely at the time. So what did they do so wrong at the time? Or are you just saying because Elop is Elop it followed that it must have been M$' plan to take over Nokia, just cause. And that's the part I'm missing?

Life is wonderful with hindsight. But look around. This market had an incredible shift happen to it in an amazingly short amount of time. Maybe Elop caused the cratering of Nokia. But then again, even companies that were, without a doubt, trying to survive cratered in the same time (Blackberry for instance).

Of course you do... your commenting in Slashdot.

If you were honest you would have put: "Before anyone bothers to engage in a reasoned debate *I* shall step in with an ad hominem attack and show how my thoughts are superior over this loser. You know because I don't actually have the ability to debate them. " Sad!

Doesn't http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Relations supersede the Platt Amendment?

I LOVED CSS Zen Garden. Such a mind opening site for it's time!!!

But if they point a camera at me in public I'm going to lose it? Wow...

Even today walk right up into someones face and see what happens. See? It's a bogus analogy.

Over one hundred years of it happening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozXvAIOtifE). Your right, someday people are going to make laws to *protect* themselves from being ignorant of the english language (see the word PUBLIC). Oh wait, that must mean... I guess you ~CAN~ "blatantly film someone" in.... wait for it... *public*.

Do you seriously ever envision a scenario wherein a cop stands there and tells people they have to let you walk down the street whether they like it or not? Most people can.... know why? 'Cause your in *PUBLIC*

Yes, have you? Check out private use vs for profit use.

So your just quibling over the extent of the recording? If so then I propose that the quality/abilities of those cameras are going to improve with time.

No that's what portable cameras are for. Oh oh and hidden cameras. But of course our society doesn't deem the bathroom to be public for recording. So your argument is weak.

This is just a guess by you. You don't actually know how long a random security tape willl be stored.
Nor do you know if it is being posted to the internet.

Again this is just an opinion formed in ignorance; since you don't know the specifics of the camera's watching you.

Then stop complaining about google glasses and start fighting to keep videos taken in *public* off the internet.

1. Yes there is a similarity. It's called gossip.
2. Your in *public* not "private". So your desire for "privacy" in *public* is ignorant.
3. You are recorded all the time NOW. Just because they don't point out the camera(s) does not mean you are free from being recorded. And the recording can be shared anyway they want (relative to this discussion)... why? Because you are in *PUBLIC*!

Why did you implicitly separate the first ten amendments to the Constitution from the rest of the body of work, as it applies to law?
Also why does everyone being barred from making laws for their religion only benefit the atheist?
I'm not looking for a debate. I'm trying to unpack your choice of words.

Yes you can. I've been on private servers. Just because Blizzard says it breaks the *rules* doesn't mean you "can't" do something. So I guess we can draw that parallel.

Okay so you say "Time to update the Miranda warning to include: 'Anything you Tweet or post can and will be held against you in a court of law'?'"' And FTFH "Judge Debra S. Nelson said Martin's Twitter, Facebook and school records were relevant in the self-defense case." Miranda is for the accused. Basically your snide comment makes your headline look dumb.

What are you talking about? WP7 apps DO carry over to WP8. from: http://www.liveside.net/2012/09/26/will-windows-phone-7-apps-just-work-in-windows-phone-8/
