So Apple should accommodate your special layout and your mouse nipple, and yet the PC manufacturers that do so should change and standardize their systems. I don't get it.
Yup the strategies described are very primitive and explained quite vaguely. That was the first thing I noticed. You don't make AI to capture the maximum number of pieces and you don't make AI to get only 1 piece advantage. I may be wrong here as I dont know anything about Mancala.

Natural resources have a way of corrupting the society. I even did a project on the correlation between corruption and natural resources as a part of GDP.

Bookmarked and probably will throw it at the OP's face in 5 years.
30 million odd iPads sold does not mean anything. Yes iPad is a spectacular success, but it hardly is the end of the PC era. There is a world beyond the United States as well, they do have a little say in determining the market.
Like I said the correct time and the correct product will be the beginning of a new era. It definitely wasn't time then, and it may not be now, but isn't it kinda inevitable, that we would someday move to a layer of abstraction above the html code?
The sense I am getting is that GUI generation of markup code is as inevitable as was the first compiler back in the old days. Whether that point is now or not remains to be seen. Back then we had a combination of increase in RAM sizes/processor speed and democratization of Computers beyond advanced research laboratories, that prompted this change. It no longer was necessary to worry about that extra 10 KB or so of cruft that the compiler added.
I see similar concerns about file sizes here, whether the point of not caring for bandwidth is here remains to be seen. And could this be the second wave of web democratization? I'd love to see my mum design her website with this.
Dont really agree with the parent's tone, but yes you are completely right. I am a 'relatively' new user and I have noticed this trend with downvotes as well. As far as I think, downvote if you think the comment adds nothing to the discussion, not if you don't agree with it.
No he meant that Printer Companies sell the printer at a loss and then hope that cartridge/toner sales will offset that loss and some. The same way Sony sells PlayStations at a loss, recovering money from game titles and Gillette sells shaving machines at a loss, and earns profits from blades.
This is why I use both Chrome and Firefox. I am a big, tab user, and Chrome doesn't even provide decent tab management with large number of tabs, so I have not been able to even test it properly.
So Chrome is my default system browser for quickly opening a link, that I get through chats, email, etc and for quick browsing and google sessions. It starts up fast and is well 'fast'. For serious research/reading/browsing sessions I prefer to use Firefox. Synchronize bookmarks and yay, you have the best of both worlds.
1 billion dollar for Flipkart is insane. No USP, minimal recognition, and a lack of focus that drives me crazy. I used to frequent them a lot. Back when they had books as their primary focus. But now they are peddling mobile phones, and everything under the sun with books as an afterthought. Don't get me wrong, they still are the best online book retailer in India and I use them a lot, but if any body on this forum has a better idea, count me in as your first customer.
I was recently in a quandary over the choice of technology. I started RoR and I really like it. However I was concerned about long term implications of that choice. The thing that I am taking from this talk is that I shouldn't worry about that, right now. If and when I need to scale, I will have enough resources to make a better choice. Resources that I don't have right now.
Not a reflection on Brian, ( I know nothing about him) but it is my observation that 'talking' about openness and transparency is easy. Implementing it in a competitive environment is difficult.
Well I think your figure is wrong. Samsung is huge. Samsung Electronics has a market cap of 253 trillion won or 240 billion dollars[1]. The group's 2010 revenue was 201 billion dollars or thrice as much as Apple. They aren't big, they are absolutely huge.
Well, to share my own use case. I clicked the big, "Start your Tax return for free" assuming, it would provide me some information before I joined the site. When it didn't, I looked for the FAQ section at the footer, instinctively, but I didn't find it there. I wanted to know more about the site, before I give you my info. Yet even after creating an account, I need to go back to the home page to look at the FAQ! I hope you are getting what I meant here.
Are you being serious? Even Germany after WWII hadnt fallen into such anarchy. The truth is even if the monetary structure fails en-masse(highly unlikely), society would find a way to function. People will work for food, cigarettes, coffee.
I was reading some of his other comments. He came across as a particularly "interesting" guy. He also claims that NSA has had access to quantum computers since the 90s. My observation is just to qualify your statement.
The point is that its not any official but a Chief Minister( akin to Governor in the US) that is doing this. The message that he is putting across to all other Government officials is much more important than us being able to see if he is slacking off or not.
Its not very clear if a hindu is a person who lived beyond the indus valley or indus is the river that demarcates the border of the hindu dominion. What I am trying to say is that, its still not clear if indus derives from the word for hindus or the word hindu is derived from the word indus.
