   Please never ever say religion fills a need. It fills a want. No part of being human needs religion any more than they need crack cocaine. Id argue the effects are similar on the brain as well.

   This is nonsense. You could eat your corn in rows because adding butter to a row is a hell of a lot easier than buttering a spiral.

   Vim does have snippets, the plugin is called snip-mate. Why do you suppose that is? ;)

   If I were to release any of our internal code to be open source, I would do the same. Nobody really needs to know I get lazy on EVERY Friday afternoon and check everything in as WIP.

   What kind of discussion can one have if one is not entitled to ones own opinion?

   So you're saying that only professionals (and more importantly, professionals that you personally agree with) should have and share opinions?

   I was just sharing my experience. What's your problem?

    Thanks for the live wallpaper tip, it was neat but not worth having a brick for half the day. I'll check out the tuner app.

    Heh, okay, thanks, it's done. I'll see if it improves.

    I'm in a city without LTE yet for this carrier, so that isn't it. Haven't installed any apps that should be background intensive either. I used to stream music all day from the iTunes match and still have more battery than what I have jus

    I just picked up my first Android phone on the weekend (Galaxy S3), and some parts I really love. Widgets change the way I use my phone. But compared to the iPhone, it's far less intuitive, it's build quality is crap, and I can't make it

    Why would anyone wreck legibility to save a character?

    Yea, that's all protected by multifactor authentication. Front line CSR's don't need a raise over this. Maybe they have other reasons, sure. But not this.

    That's just factually inaccurate.

    Whoa, wait, what? What occured was a simple confidence hack, not some industrial spy escapade. Anyway, to answer your initial point, two factor authentication helps with this problem, as you have to still have the security token to authent

    Yea, there are a lot of companies, pre sellout or pre IPO that will run for year and years without a profitable business model. To name one off the top of my head... Twitter.

    Well, B&N, Books-a-Million, and Indigo won't stock anything published by Amazon. So as far as absurd comparisons go... http://business.time.com/2012/02/06/in-latest-moves-barnes-n... http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/chapter-and-verse/

    And on top of that, this is a single market, culturally linked, with only five family names making up the majority of the populace (54%). Real names policy probably isn't as much of a deterrent for John Smith. Just sayin'.

    You do now. Every book store decides what they are going to sell. We just didn't know about it before. The beauty is that any author can now simply take their books off iBooks and sell it in an open epub format and skip the distributor.

    OMFG, seriously? When someone rapes you, takes secret pictures of you naked, or wears your underwear while you are out and then puts them back without you knowing, then you have a right to feel violated. When a company removed a feature,

    Yea, I said that too at first, and now I really like it. I think it has a steeper earning curve than most OOPL's. There is an elegance to the language; though I would love to see a complete overhaul of the language to support namespaces,

    And here I thought a stock was a tiny piece of the company. And if you had all the stock, then you had all the company... The preferred example would be futures, and oddly enough, something I also think is a scam.

    Well, I could get into a hundred reasons, but the primary one being that I personally don't recognize any concept which attempts to frame an idea as being property. It isn't property, I can't hold on to it, I can't touch it, and I can't s

    Agreed; this isn't much different than in bio where we would apply an electrical current to freshly amputated frogs legs (or heart) and watch them twitch. It's just a much more elaborate presentation. When it's swimming on it's own and re
