Comment I thought this was about Android Market at first (Score 2, Informative) 485

As a part time Android developer I'm debating jumping ship too. This article sums it up nicely: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/11/android-fragmentation/ Between dealing with the SDK idiocy of Google, complaint emails from users of 10 different phones all running a different version of Android, and the shitty design of Market itself, the last sentence echoes my thoughts: “I will have to decide then how much return I am getting and if it is worth it.” There has got to be some kind of happy medium between the anarchy of Market and the totalitarianism of App Store.

Common misquote of the great Thomas Jefferson. http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/Government_big_enough_to_supply_you Please, see that link and cease to attribute that statement with him.

"We have never found such a statement in Jefferson's writings. As far as we know, this statement actually originates with Gerald R. Ford"

Submission + - Do you know how to use a slide rule? (engcom.net) 5

high_rolla writes: "How many of you know what a slide rule it? Better yet, how many of you have actually used one? The slide rule was a simple yet powerful and important tool for engineers and scientists before the days of calculators. In fact, several people I know still prefer to use them. In the interest of preserving this icon we have created a virtual slide rule for you to play with."
