Just tell me how much flair I need. Is 8 enough pieces of flair? 15?

Technically, this isn't support. Support refers to continuing updates for an existing product as necessary to keep it functional. Compatibility between old products (the hardware here) and new products (OS updates) is not a support issue, it's an allocation of resources and ROI issue. Apple has to evaluate the…

Fragmentation, in the sense people use when referring to Android, is referring to the fact that there are applications that can't necessarily run on every handset because there are some base assumptions that cannot be made about them (screen aspect ratio and resolution, presence of a physical keyboard, presence of a…

I agree that Snow Leopard is pretty great, but most of the "mobile OS features" are pretty ordinary connectivity features that just happen to (finally) conform to the same standard as their iOS equivalents. The ability to sync reminders and use the same IM system doesn't detract from the OS. OTOH, the…

Handbrake will actually improve for you. The newer 64-bit version of Handbrake takes advantage of the architectural changes made in Snow Leopard and is much faster on multi-core machines.

So you have a son then? My boy has done far more damage to his crib in 18 months than my daughter and two other girls were able to do to it in 6 years. "One of each would be nice", I said. .

To add insult to injury, Apple's USB ethernet adapters which are meant too be 100-BaseT, can't do more than about 40Mbps in the best situation, so if you want decent throughput, it'll be yet another expensive Thunderbolt solution. The bags of MBP users are going to get might full with Thunderbolt adapters and hubs.

True, but using a fake name on a lease is probably still binding and at most a tort issue. I don't see what the violation would be. Anonymity is not a crime.

Stringer would have just gotten corner kids and junkies to buy up phones in their names.

SC2 was the shit. I don't know about people's lists today, but it got much respect when it was released and everybody I know remembers it fondly still.

He's not clear on the specifics, but if the DNS problem is certificate-related, then that won't solve the problem.

"Threatened to investigate" isn't a problem unless the banks have reason to worry and banks have never cared about their public image. The government erred in creating institutions (Fannie and Freddie) which existed solely to buy loans from banks. Investment banks followed suit, commoditizing loans for the market. …

I was just about to nominate people who start threads attacking Apple fanboys and those who aren't open to particular sorts of discussions in a forum created for the purpose of discussion.

I have always liked Jesus' articles, but I have reluctantly come to agree with so many others that he can be a dick in comments. Too many people have felt his wrath for what seemed like pretty innocuous comments. And he's never lashed out at me (yet), so it isn't personal. Wish it weren't so.

I presume from your name that you are an architect. Be sure and let your clients know they are being "armchair architects" when they review your designs unfavorably.

Name similarity aside, I think this is more strongly analogous since it actually has a friend list. College facebooks were nothing more than a catalog. They held (or hold, do they still exist?) not linking information between nodes.

re: architects specifying novel building materials. Time and again I've witnessed the problem with using new materials is builders who insist on using them the way they use more traditional stuff. They'll refuse to read accompanying documentation even when specifically instructed to and are warned that conventional…

Being an architect is necessary if you want to design and build structures, but all people are entitled to have an opinion without credentials. The most important architecture critics of all - paying clients - almost never have an architectural background. School does not improve the quality of opinions.

You think they should have made this video with their own money?

Dunno. Are you interested in him? He's probably not terribly hard to get in touch with and ask out if you are.
