The German law is worthless in this regard. It gets you nothing, nowhere. You need a warranty. Apple Care is properly awesome but you shouldn’t buy it in the store, you should buy it on ebay. (I would complain about the salesperson. They ar

Ah, yeah, six months, right. I think that was changed sometime ago. I'm still stuck on the twelve months.

Warranty is not the same as the protection the law requires. The warranty companies offer are often more generous than what is required of them by law, but also more limited in duration. In Germany the problem is that the burden of proof re

Aliens are not the target group. Humanity is. It’s an art project, not a message.

That’s not how iBooks actually works. (That doesn’t get Apple off the hook, though. You encountered the problem so it’s a valid one. Confusion about how something works is definitely not the user’s problem, it’s the developer’s.) The naviga

In the city I grew up in (in Bavaria) every store has to close by 8pm and no store can open on Sundays. The exception are bakeries and gas stations. (I also think that stores inside of train stations are exempted. And just so there is no mi

They only turn off email, right? I would imagine that actual phone calls are still possible. I can imagine that working pretty well. I think people are in general much more hesitant to call than to send an email.

I don’t know what it is, this attitude seems so common among gamers.

If your concern is feeding as many people as possible, wouldn’t it be best to ditch animals altogether? I would imagine that it’s more energy intensive to go from plants to animals to food than to go directly from plants to food. (I’m no ve

Minecraft.net has a stats page: http://www.minecraft.net/stats I’m pretty sure that someone somewhere on the web has recorded those numbers – but I’m too lazy to search right now. Calculating the average is something I can do, though: On

Do not take this as me defending Apple (I certainly don’t want to). This is only a statement about technical capability and not supposed to endorse or support Apple with this in any way. The very first iPhone had multitasking during calls (

Yeah, selection bias alright. I just think I have the more plausible selection bias. That's all :-) If you are selling nearly a million phones per day it's not the geeks who are buying (don't get me wrong, geeks are buying tons of Android p

It seems to me that Android would be the easiest to switch away from. Not so much for any technical reasons, rather because of the mindset most Android buyers (I know) have. Android is the default choice if you don’t want an iPhone. It’s t

Cool! Do you have any numbers for SSDs?

I’m curious. Do you have links to those studies? Looking superficially, I could only find articles claiming the exact opposite – like http://blog.tatham.oddie.com.au/2008/10/13/why-light-text-on... – but they all seem to quote the same an

I would very much hope that browsers don't implement canvas that way. Surely no one can be that stupid?

That's … not how it actually works if you are in Germany. Typically you get a flatrate or minutes to landline and two prices for mobile calls: One for calls to your carrier, one for calls to other carriers. You might, for examle, have 120 m

I do not hope for an afterlife. To hope for an afterlife is akin to (and just as stupid as) hoping to win the lottery, only a lot less likely.

by ugh 15y ago
No, it's peddling your beliefs disguised as a noble statement. I cannot and do not want to speak for Hitchens so I will only speak for myself. My view is that believing in an afterlife is crazy and absurd. (Don't get me wrong: I would love

I do have strong feeling about this particular meme – but I really should have toned down my writing a bit. Ah, well, you can’t always find the right words.

I know what the phrase means but I think examples are kind of necessary. They don’t even have to be real. I’m guessing people who think that looking pretty (which is not the same as having good design – though the author of this text seems

I’m not entirely sure why you are attributing things to me I never said and I’m also not quite sure in what context you are responding to me. What’s this “beautiful novelty” you are talking about?

It sounds like he is attacking a straw man. It doesn’t seem like anyone is making the arguments he is attacking, especially not on the page he is linking to and saying he is responding to. Specifically (for example) no one seems to claim th
