   This is hyperbolic, unreasonable and valueless.

   Bullshit. As if criminals simply avoid other vice because it's less profitable, totally false. Dangerously false. There are not open markets just floating around waiting for criminals to suddenly discover them.

   All of those drugs are more dangerous when they are unregulated. Compare to the personal liberties/responsibilities of firearms please.

   I prefer the "deny all" option, where any transaction that overdrafts is simply denied at POS. This is absolutely no problem for small transactions. For larger, potentially inconvenient ones like bills or rent, I really don't see the possi

   It has never been theft, that's part of the reason piracy can't be decoupled from the (false) moral rebellion mindset.

   That's exactly what I mean. Design, all aspects. Software and UX is one thing. Hardware has followed a boring linear progression with no real innovation other than bigger screens and faster cpus, more ram, video acceleration... if it wer

   I do, because I'm interested in buying it. No phone has interesting design in my opinion. I want the one with the best software and hardware.

   Someone should make a game with those controls hard-coded to help us learn.

    I consider all laptops non-pc embedded systems. It's purely an arbitrary definition; but to me, PC means open, standard hardware.

    Machines running native OSX are still luxury computers, the barriers to entry are a lot higher than bad UX. Anyone peeking behind the curtain of software will see the vast value disparity of apple-like design: remove options for the the ill

    That's fair. I don't see a lot of balanced assessment though.

    Respect is honoring his accomplishments, inflating them is disrespectful.

    by r0s 15y ago

    Why do you(or the president) think exaggerating his accomplishments is warranted or even tasteful? It's not 100% true, I know plenty of people with no apple devices, who don't care at all about apple or it's products. Personality cults like

    Ah, the myth of meritocracy. Not in the art world, where tastes are subjective in extreme. Life ain't fair. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis

    Obviously not, but the original Controlled Substances Act, the beginning of our modern War on Drugs, can be reasonably inferred as direct response to the anti-war movement.

    Personally, I believe psychedelics produce emotional hallucinations as well as visual/auditory.

    For the voltages here any used ATX power supply will work. Instead of this box you could just clip the appropriate wires for the same effect. What I really want is a variable voltage supply easily made from any old ATX PSU. As an amateur t

    Is the dichotomy better described as popular vs. useful?

    I don't think it's a conscious decision. Sometimes petty issues come from an even darker place, like punishing non-conformity.

    I never understood the hope XBLA inspires. The ecosystem is limited and tightly controlled. Access to the market is entirely at the whim of Microsoft, who will also be your main competitor. From the outside it looks like a huge trap for c

    I too was oblivious to this feature for months into my win7 experience. I think that speaks to the usefulness of such eye candy.

    As a small business bookkeeper, I agree that new blood could really improve things. I think it could be web-based though, as long as security took top priority.

    Maybe OEMs could present a more designy shell experience, the possibilities on windows are vast: http://windows7themes.net/windows-7-mac-theme.html Or maybe you mean some other way OSX is innovative, besides aesthetic?

    For all it's problems, it's a very immersive, unique experience. Who knows, a few generations more it could have become small and portable. At the time, it looked like the future.
