Perhaps, but they make money by giving away their simple PDF app and charging for their full-featured PDF app. That's why Reader on PCs is so limited, and why Reader on the iPad is also very limited. It's also true that Adobe has blinders about what PDF is supposed to do vs. what people are...

And again, ok in the eyes of the law doesn't necessarily mean appropriate or moral.

All true. Legality, however, doesn't automatically equal morality. That you might get in trouble, even dire trouble, doesn't mean it's automatically the wrong thing to do. Not taking sides on whether hiding the murder is "good" or "bad", just noting that the legality of a thing shouldn't...

I'm not sure that's a good indicator: nearly all of the patents that are the basis of the blocking are all design patents where Samsung has visually cloned a bunch of iPad and iOS design elements, with the lawsuits being about confusing buyers due to similarity. Almost all of them are easily...

K&R was truly enlightening, opening me up to C and a whole new world of programming. And Unix... Unix is genius. Thanks Dennis, so much. Rough couple of weeks for programmers.

Quick idea: don't expect RPG-oriented boards to be good places to discuss politics. See also: don't drive motocross in a shopping mall.

Interesting question. I don't actually categorize stuff at all, since far too many things in my life fall into too many categories. My work is also pleasure most of the time and is sometimes even play, my play often turns into things that inform my work, most of what I do is some form of...

For a device being hailed as a dud and a mistake on Apple's part, one million orders in the first 24 hours -- up from 600,000 for the iPhone 4 -- sure doesn't sound like a dud or mistake.

No. I choose not to engage you on the topic, and should not have posted earlier, as the effort required to work through how differently we see things is far more than the result will ever be worth. Pretend I said nothing.

:erm: can't find polite words...

Jobs is one of the few public figures who, to my surprise, is part of the core of who I am. The only other celebrity death that hit me as strongly was Fred Rogers. I deeply identified with the Jobs who co-founded Apple out of his garage, the Jobs who insisted that people do even better work...

Take it somewhere else, Relique. There are plenty of other threads where you can express your distaste.

If it's the same timestream they could likely send messages to the future by carving messages into protected rocks or leaving them in certain places or what have you. 85 million years is a really long time but not insurmountably long.

Yeah, we didn't follow that... isn't he dead?

I really enjoy how Olivia's personality has reverted back to the one we met at the beginning of the first season, without the warmth she gained with exposure to Peter (and a more healed Walter). Very well played.

Great explanation.

If the fixed point actually is then I think it still holds.

It's SOP in this forum that if the thread is specifically about an episode then spoilers about that episode (and really, previous ones) can be posted without tags.

Ah, good to know. They may well not air them, though at that price the ratings would have to be pretty bad.

Six, I'm thinking. Not a full season, anyway, with mediocre pilot ratings and mediocre reviews for a two-hour episode.
