Thank you mister Norris. I'll try to remember the next time I come face to face with a lone "biker" that no matter how big or armed he appears to be, he is more afraid of me and my iPhone than I am of him. Pussies or not I think that I'll just avoid confrontation with Mongols/Angels/Crips/Bloods/Kings when ever possible.
please don't call me sparky. "fat kid" or just a**hole will do. I agree that this is a sneaky and back handed move. Probably not legal. Definitely not right. I'm not surprised that the agreement didn't contain a NDA. I'm just sure that by stating it in an e-mail Apple feels that it does now. The whole iPhone dev experience looks like it is more about controlling the product than benefitting the developer.
Disclaimer: I also am not a lawyer and have been know to talk out of my butt.
true, but you did sign a NDA when you became a registered apple iPone dev. it sucks but it's not quite as crazy as "by reading this message you agree to the terms of our NDA" they aren't just slapping this on now. they slapped it on you up front.
Listen to Skyshadow. He is right in so many ways and with a 3 digit UID he IS an expert on what makes something "geeky" I got my wife a titanium ring with a gold band. She loves it. the idea of having a back up ring is pure genius.
Word. The Tartakovsky series is pretty good. If Lucas/Genndy had wanted to make a full length version of that I would be all over that one. A dreamworks/shrek/antz version of the same stories does not appeal to me. But hey, it gives Lucas a chance to make Haden Christensen look like even more of a puppet/tool then good for him.
Funny you should mention punching a hole. When I was young, and the bus system in Madison was usable, we had a system much like you describe. One would purchase a "bus pass" with a preset number of fares on it. Every time you got on a bus the driver would punch a hole in one of the marked spots on the "bus pass". once all of the spots were punched the card was used up. The cycle was repeated as often as necessary. Not a completely unhackable system, I know, but good enough for public transport. You could, with a scanner, a color printer, and a pile of the right kind of paper, print your own. Is it really worth getting caught counterfeiting a $12 bus pass? why do we need a high-tech bus pass? is it so we can get to the polling place to use a touch screen voting machine? I don't want to come off as a luddite but why fix what aint broken?
you would have a small triangular ship. Maybe two or three extras "just in case". we could control it remotely. A rotational control and a forward thruster should suffice. Then we could "fire" small nukes at the object. That would change their trajectory and break them into smaller pieces.
I think it sounds like a brilliant idea, but where would we be able to find someone who could operate such a machine?
yeah. My almost end of life G5 has more RAM than my last computer (a suped up 7300) had total hard drive space. but then I remember the first 5meg drive I ever saw. It was as big as a washing machine and almost as quiet.

this is an unbearable strain but I'm doing it as hard as I can...
I don't know about that, I doubt he has a very "big stick"
it sounds to me like he is compensating for something...

Maybe some thing good...
maybe some thing bad...
that's just it, we'll never konw.
because YOU'RE not going to touch it,
are you?
Oh, BURN!

Seldom do the words "anonymous" and "coward" seem so appropriate.
While I applaud your right to have such a small and twisted world view I find it funny that you feel the need to hide it.
bitch.

shouldn't that be Milihockey?
sliding a disk around a playing field.
all I need is a good milifight.
you insensitive clod, now what are we supposed to talk about?
and practice this phrase: "you're right, I'm sorry"
it is as close to winning an argument with your wife (or a cop) as you are ever going to get.

so, let me see if I got this right:
you would have a small triangular ship. Maybe two or three extras "just in case".
we could control it remotely. A rotational control and a forward thruster should suffice.
Then we could "fire" small nukes at the object. That would change their trajectory and break them into smaller pieces.

seriously, what you describe is almost exactly what Palpatine does with Anakin.
yeah. My almost end of life G5 has more RAM than my last computer (a suped up 7300) had total hard drive space.

Do y'all think that Mrs. Kid decided to name me, her first born, "the fat"
don't forget pirated music.
and stolen software.
yep, Porn, Free Music, and Free Software that pretty much covers it.
I'm sure that nobody on /. would use it for anything else...

well let me be the first to say:
"she's a witch. Burn her"
no good zelot should be deterred bya little thing like proof.
that is what they refer to, in lawyer jokes, as a "good start"
