It's got nothing to do with libertarian principles, it's just Apple defending their market niche. They can't exactly let just anyone start charging a huge markup for trendy, stylish crap.
I'm an Apple user, but that's one of the funniest Apple backhands I've seen in a long time.
Definitely a redundant sentiment, but I have to say it:
In other news, employee is shocked by the revelation that disrobing and defecating on his boss' desk during business hours was "probably not a good career move."
I don't actually have an answer to any of your questions, I just wanted to say that while scanning your comment, my brain initially fabricated the phrase "massive W and Z bosoms."
In cup size, I suppose that would be relatively massive.
Hahahaha. Is it because of your insanely low Slashdot ID that you haven't been modded out of existence? Am I feeding a troll here, or were you being funny? Like it or not, the currently agreed-upon definition of religion is quite disparate from that of cult. You don't have to like religion; it has many troubling aspects in its current (and historical) manifestation. But your argument comes off as "I don't like oranges, since everyone knows apples suck, oranges must be apples." Kinda juvenile. Or am I missing your point?
Thank you! This is a seductive game the first thirty times, but all it makes me want to do now is close my/. tab. After I post this comment, that is. Seriously, here's how it always goes:
1. Article posted that makes fundies look like idiots.
2. Anti-fundie flaming.
3. Anti-religion flaming.
4. Sideshow discussions about reconciliation of theology and science in one's personal life, usually reasonably posited and humbly submitted; drowned out by the by now raging flame war.
5. Sideshow flame war about the observability of evolution.
6....
7. Profit? No, everyone loses (except the trolls), the smartest stay away completely, the next tier down leaves feeling drawn in and sheepish (c'mon we've all been there), and the trolls emerge stupid as ever, feeling victorious.
8. Ugh.
9. It's Friday, everyone drink a beer or something.
Hear hear!
The parents are often desperate and deluded, but I've more often than that seen cases in which unscrupulous "therapists" tout various types of undocumented snake oil in order to capitalize on that desperation. I've seen parents that will try all kinds of chelation, crazy diets, sensory therapy, etc. to no avail--and the lack of results often doesn't diminish their determination in trying these wacky treatments. They are fighting as hard as possible to help their kids and others are capitalizing on it.
The only thing that I've seen to be effective is the relatively straightforward, but also very difficult to consistently implement practice of ABA. It's not sexy and it's not a magic bullet, but I've seen it used to teach autistic spectrum kids to do everything from shoe tying to reading and participating in a classroom.
Not to be mean but Ubuntu, and Red hat have 1/4 of the pacakges of Debian apt suppositories. You know, I enjoy Linux as much as the next man, especially Debian-based versions, but that's either a brilliant typo, an inside joke I'm not 1337 enough to know, or some aspect of open source I'd rather not know about.
Now we've got a good Slashdot discussion cooking! Anyone want to talk about science, Intelligent Design, Christianity, global warming, the Moon, or national socialists?
I downloaded a few tracks last night (on a Mac), and the little downloader application thingy automatically opened iTunes and imported the tracks. Pretty nice. So, yes, iPod sync through iTunes, but, no, not by itself.
Anyone else remember the adds where the mustachioed Video Professor guy used to come on the screen saying "Just use my CD RAM and you'll be on your way," all the while holding up a CD ROM containing his course? I used to think, is he ignorant? Is that a crazy accented pronunciation of "ROM"? WTF? I've never known anyone who's used one of these either. Interesting.
Thanks for clearing up a vague memory I've had since I was a kid! I remember it being funny, but then creepy and sad when he offs himself at the end, reduced to a gravelly-voiced moss pile. Or at least that's what I remember. Nice reference tho!

I do what I can. It occurred to me too that maybe people were just really tired of that line.
"Nucular". It's pronounced "nucular".
Which received the following rating:
(Score:-1, Troll)
Hard to believe the mod missed the Simpsons reference.
hehe. I bet Seattle will think twice before investing in this.
after staring at it for a moment I realized it was her bra size + some other personality attributes.
Uh. Not to mince words, but with a few notable exceptions, a woman's bra size is not classifiable as a personality trait. Just saying.
I didn't think the idea of shaking hands with Ron Paul could get more unpleasant. Thanks for that.

The Zeno Effect must differ from the Xemu effect in that with the latter, the more you observe the event, the more full of crap it is.

They're asexual. They respawn when killed.

I guess for once they don't want investors to sink their money into this one.
Hear hear!

Looks like their server was taken out and shot by the firing squad. Anyone have a mirror?
Exactly. I will add however that that tiny little detail might have merited mention in the summary. It's slightly misleading as it is.

"Self-excited?" Tripod? And we're not supposed to make naughty jokes about this?

TGIF everyone! Am I being optimistic, or are the chinks in the armor showing more lately?

Evil Bert doesn't mug. He merely flexes his satanic eyebrows and babies inexplicably cry all over the world.
