I think we have an issue here that should be expanded ->some<- as I was looking at Mark's work and that person pumps out a feed of well- done work that is consistent with what you are asking but when I went yesterday trying once-again to "see what was going on" I found reason to believe Android & our only competitor hold literally twice the market of tv & internet combined ....
then some other stuff better not discussed .....duh,.. It is inconsistent to have "Georgia Cracker" running side-by-side with 4 billion device users who for any practical will eventually leave a device on the counter....it just does not make sense If we are taking the lead on the industry and have already wiped traditional media from the leader-board then it is time we examined the model Even for your example I immediately think of Dianne Hackborn ['s] reply I saw early in my efforts here on the matter of the image scaling tool not being implemented by all vendors ~ as for your "windows 95" the first thing I did was start writing a build-driver as "do it for you" is - rather obviously - not working and not going to work Not surprisingly the first code I wrote here was a throwaway for a GUI designer - implemented SHA-256 on a base class ..... here we go again .... you can forget placing disclaimers = we need to find another approach what that is I do not know On Nov 12, 12:02 pm, Binxalot <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm pretty fed up with the marketplace and the way it works.
