No, he's right. Nearly no one is buying an "Android" phone. They're buying Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, etc. The're buying brands they trust. Honestly, if MS could just see this is and would make a nice deal with these phone vendors to g

>The words "superior race" don't appear anywhere. Ridiculous. Of course those specific words don't appear there, but that would be the most appropriate summarization of several of those posts. Actually the OP was being charitable. H

What is the point of your pro-US trolling? You've already admitted that the falsehoods you've stated have nothing to do with the thread anyway. >The per capita figures make the other countries look better lol, classic.

Now, it's held in very low esteem and has very poor pay. It is assumed that if they were any good they would take private sector jobs where they can make a lot more.

If people actually saw what went on "free enough" would have been put to bed years ago. The Chicago boys were given free reign in Chile under Pinochet and nearly destroyed the country. They had to back off of their "free enough" goals to

Why? Sure, if I'm looking for a specific store I find out the info online or on my phone. But just the other day, after accomplishing what I had planned to, I wanted something to eat. But where I live in Europe there are no signs on the

They still are. Glenn Beck isn't on Fox anymore, right?

It's not irrational to pursue; the longest journey, etc. People need to be off Godaddy in any case. SOPA or not.

Did he actually admit any of this or are you just projecting, er assuming?

They're an enabler. You punish them the same to inspire them to push pressure downward on everyone they work with. Remember when Glenn Beck was still on Fox and people were crying continuously? Nothing worked until they started boycotting

I strongly disagree. Anyone and everyone is already spending lots of effort opposing SOPA. If a company that supports SOPA would suddenly go out of business (one can dream) that would send a vastly bigger message than a bunch of usele

Further, you can't use the device you've bought unless you click "agree". Anything else won't let you use it. I seriously doubt those things would hold up in court.

Well, certain rights can't be signed away. I really suspect this is one of them. If you stand in front of a Jury and say "yes, I signed it. I couldn't use what I paid good money for if I didn't!" all 12 of them are going to feel your pai

Another big issue is, the programmers are getting nearly none of that wealth they create through these efficiencies. If I save the company $2m/yr that's the same as making them that money. I've made the company $2m/yr richer than they wer

I think you and I have different meanings in mind for the phrase "hit on". If I'm at a conference and meet a woman I'm attracted to (and likely has similar interests since she's there too), why would it be bad to try to get her phone numbe

Actually I just read it too and I have to say you're off base here. I don't like girls who "tease" and I think getting drunk, having sex and then decided after the fact that they didn't want to and it was, therefor, rape should be a crim

That problem is easy to fix. The problem it won't fix is that the real bribery is when these guys are given jobs in the same industry for outrageous salaries (compared to market for similar positions).

Uh, what? You're claiming that those in congress are doing great things for us and the culture of greed and corruption is a perpetuated lie? Surely I've misread what you're saying because I can't imagine any person intelligent enough to e

Because the bribery is done completely in the open and legally. You get campaign contributions or a cushy contractor position worth millions to you personally. It's not illegal so "exposing" the companies engaging in this behavior won't h

And this is exactly the issue. If this issue isn't important enough for you to invest some of your time to make your opinion known on the subject, then you're probably not going to change your vote on it anyway.

Actually yes. I can't speak to Android but on iOS you can just drag the controls where you want them to be. Or you could just do it all in code. You don't have to learn anything but the language and the APIs if you don't want to.

Do you know how to read? I explained why in the rest of the comment and even provided an article that expanded on it!

Your comment hints at the issue. It isn't measuring effort in vs money out, it's likelihood of reward for effort . At this stage it's clear that if you count options and even equity as zero you'll often be right. If a startup hands me a

As randomdata pointed out, I think this goes more to proving my point than yours. They did a lot of work to get to that point. Contrast that with "Tiny Wings" that showed up and started making a huge amount of money. I'll grant you th

Has this always been the case? He seems to have a point with scribd, but then it could also be that there were just a lot less people voting over all back then.

What are you talking about? PHP back end, HTML pages, CSS style sheets, Javascript to make it all run, and all this on a per browser type and version basis.
