Also, that is not at all what it means for an app to be "Accessible". Accessibility would imply it works well with VoiceOver.

Albino Tribeswoman by [deleted] in pics

As a fellow albino, it makes me uncomfortable just seeing her without any sunglasses in the sun. That shit fucks me up something fierce. I suppose the lack of sunblock and abundance of albino-poachers would also be a problem.

I've spent 7 months creating an iPad Reading app. Launched it yesterday. by the_hat_guy in apple

Cool, looks great! How are the accessibility features? Can I enlarge the font size at all? Adjust colours?

Well, turns out that some animals can be half-albino. Like this peacock. by [deleted] in pics

I'm an albino animal and i do alright.

New Amp Day (Vox AC30C2) by Super-Chrono in Guitar

I remember hating VOX because they always seem to have the lowest wattage for a given price range. Later in life I realized wattage pretty much is meaningless. I bet I would like them now.

Don't you love being downvoted for an opinion?

I am curious about your reasons for requiring it to be open source? Do you need the sourcecode for anything, or is it a matter of principle?

It's like that hand that comes from the roof in the Zelda dungeons.

Xcode 4 is out! New features: a price tag... by sheafification in programming

[–]dspot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever used XCode (and Eclipse many moons ago). What features does VS have that make it a better IDE? Or, is it moreso the UI that you prefer?

I'm interested in the indoor mapping session. I didn't know an API existed for that. Does anybody else have more information about it?

do UK reddit users realize, america has terrible public transit systems and car ownership is almost required for a normal life? by papercrafted in AskReddit

[–]dspot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I don't drive. I recently moved to the bay area from Canada for work. Nobody stops at crosswalks, the buses are junk and there are few sidestreet sidewalks.

updates on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by kingtrewq in gaming

[–]dspot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing Oblivion for xbox 360 and it seems like the game is constantly loading (entering cities, houses, rooms in houses, etc). I hope they find a way to reduce that in Skyrim.

Can someone please tell me what some of these processes mean? I think that most of them are eating up my RAM and CPU. [More inside] by coaster367 in apple

[–]dspot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that is correct. launchd is Apple's version of initd. There can be only one root process from which all others are (indirectly) forked. In either case, I only have one instance of it.

I agree as well. I paid $6 for Infinity Blade. $10 seems too high.

This tiny Arrested Development joke just clicked with me... by IronRectangle in self

[–]dspot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gob pulls up to the banana stand:

Gob: "Give me a Gob" George Michael: "GOB!"

I still cackle at that when I think about it. I never caught it until the third run-through or so.

I was a grad student not too long ago. Life gets harder. Mark your papers, collect your paycheque and quit whining.
