That is the most uninteresting, bland, obvious and yet useless observation that anyone could have posted in reply to this story. Of all the interesting things one could say, you regurgitate words that you think might be related to the story and suggest some hitherto unmentioned beacon of hope that the news item may or may not have hinted at. And what, you want a +1 insightful for that?
What happened to innocent until proven guilty? How can you say that anything helped to stop them carry out another attack when they haven't (all) been found guilty of carrying out the first one? Habeus Corpus, my friend. Don't forget it.
I'm not so sure. How long have Apple reminded us that Windows = Bad?
If they switched to something Windows based, I'd be outta here like a shot. I'd rather run Linux than anything based on the Windows kernel - and I suspect many of the Mac geeks out there would agree.
Perhaps this is even a stealth way for Apple to dump OS X altogether. After all, if they build Cocoa & Carbon layers on top of Windows, the ultimate question is why bother with OS X at all?
Stability? Security? The amazingly beautiful user interface? The fervor with which most of the Mac community, myself included, worship OS X?
Nah, forget it. I think if we could run our Cocoa and Carbon apps in Windows, the entire Mac community would certainly rather run them on top of Windows rather than OS X.
If we used the word sex photos, then what about scat porn? Or anal porn? Or gay porn? Or BDSM porn? Or any of thousands of other fetishes? The point of the word porn is to get an overarching umbrella to cover the entire assortment of photographs, movies and literature related to any number of fetishes. It's not just a stupid word - it's a word we use to categorize a huge amount of incredibly diverse material.
In this case, the radiation and energy involved comes from the accretion disk. As black holes pull in matter, the energy gained as it falls down the gravitational potential and the friction between matter produces huge amounts of heat, most of which is radiated away as gamma-rays or x-rays.
Just ban firearms, throughout the whole country. You do not need them. Don't give me any of this defence shit - you don't need guns to defend yourself if nobody has guns.
If you don't have guns, the worst people can use is knives. Except put it like this - nobody ever knifes 32 people without getting stopped. You stab one, maybe two, and then someone smashes a chair over their head. Knives are not even in the same leagues as guns. Ban guns, this will never happen again.
Don't believe me? When was the last major UK shooting in which more than 10 people were killed? When?
I'm planning to emigrate once I graduate, too. I'm fed up with all the CCTV, all the databases. I was arrested without charge in a mix up last year - now my DNA and fingerprints are on national record and I didn't even do anything. Is that fair? Is that right? No. I'm out of here as soon as I can be.
Whether they can legally use the name isn't really the point.
In the UK, ITV is channel 3 in most places. It's one of the most popular free channels, and has been around for over half a century. In our television-obsessed nation, no Apple product is gonna usurp the abbreviation iTV in our collective consiousness.
Calling a set top box iTV is like bringing out a new digital radio receiver box and calling it the bBC.
Really? Without the tabbed browsing hack I'm not a fan of the Wii browsing experience. YouTube and Wii-targetted flash games are the only real reason to use it - anything else is clunky and awkward.
Of course it's not accurate - it's a Daily Mail article. The only shock is that they didn't claim that the flu virus was created by asylum seekers or rising house prices.

Slashdot Mirror
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has since confirmed its official line on the rumoured phone as, "We do not comment on rumour and speculation."
NowGamer also contacted Sony Ericsson for a comment. A spokesperson also responded, "Sony Ericsson does not comment on rumour or speculation".
...
However, NowGamer still understands that the images are indeed fake.
Are NowGamer always so terrible?
Except our solar system didn't exist 7 billion years ago ;)

What? He's telling the fucking truth. Lack of job prospects or not, he's not "clueless" he's "correct".

It's illegal to have a replication machine in the USA now? How quaint.
What's the point for the term "porn", you ask?
If we used the word sex photos, then what about scat porn? Or anal porn? Or gay porn? Or BDSM porn? Or any of thousands of other fetishes? The point of the word porn is to get an overarching umbrella to cover the entire assortment of photographs, movies and literature related to any number of fetishes. It's not just a stupid word - it's a word we use to categorize a huge amount of incredibly diverse material.
I don't quite understand. Can you give me a car analogy instead? ...oh, wait...

Yes. Over 10 years ago. How many American shootings with more than 10 deaths in the last 10 years?
Point made.
Are you fucking retarded?

I agree. Apple isn't even called Apple Computers anymore.
Not that the submitter seems to have noticed.

I don't have a big brother.
Since never. Lying makes the argument that the article puts forward more convincing though, doesn't it?

Mod parent up, and not just funny - he is 100% correct, and it screws with my mind!

0 is a number No it isn't, it's a concept. Whoops!
"The OSS crowd"? Opera isn't open source. This has nothing to do with OSS - it's all to do with web standards and W3C conformity.
That fact that you even commented on this issue shows the arrogance level of certain members of the /. crowd.
"Black Friday"? Can anyone clarify what that is a reference to? Maybe it's an American thing.
