Because that too would be disallowed under state law. The locals have no political power. None of this has anything to do with any legal theory or ideal regarding state's rights, it's all about campaign donations. Oh sure, there's some frantic handwaving about how all government is evil and so a municipal government can't tax citizens to provide basic services, even if the citizens voted for it, so therefore there must be an even bigger government to stop that with an iron fist. But no one seriously believes that without being a wearer of tin foil hats. Pure and simple it's all about getting re-elected, which means getting big companies to give you money, and only picking on people that the average voter won't know or care about.
Good news it can now go to the supreme court. Then let's see if they find that "state's rights" trump the rights of local municipalities or not. State's rights is pure hypocrisy, whining that the feds have too much power while turning around and exerting undue power over it's own citizens, all for no rational legal purpose than to get campaign funds from donors, while the rights of the people are ignored. Libertarians are probably in a tizzy over this; support small government, or support their traditional allies the big corporations.
Microsoft can barely build a working operating system that remains stable and compatible with its own applications across releases.
Recent history from Microsoft makes it seem like they're well into their irrelevance phase of life. Changes in CEOs will do that to a company. They're losing market share and rather than using quality to retain customers they're focusing on lock-in features, threats, exclusivity deals, FUD, etc. Features that are actively hostile to customers are being added. Broken updates are becoming common, suggesting a decline in QA. And now this absurdly bizarre claim about something not even remotely in their fields of competence or relevance. Either the management team is insane, or it's a desparate cry of "please notice me!"
Generally we had one or two things after school. And it tended to be in much later grades, 6th grade or later. We didn't have every hour of the day scheduled with activities. One day a week for piano lessons, for an hour, for two or three years until parents finally listened to your whining and let you stop going. Sports, a lot of activity for a couple months then back to the normal schedule. Band and chorus, you practice at school during the normal school day, practice at home, a few on-the-road events, not all that time consuming really. Even the top achieving students seemed to have a much more flexible schedule than today's average student.
I was in Kkindergarten in the 60s. Half day only. First grade was the real start of normal school, and kindergarten was the get-ready-for-school program really. We did a little bit of learning the alphabet and basic counting, but nothing like what was described. We turned out ok.
Today though I think we have too many panicked parents. Their child *must* succeed, *must* get into the best schools, and so forth. Every hour of the child's life is now scheduled. Plus too many panicked school officials and watchdogs. Test scores *must* go up, parent complaints *must* go down. There's a drive to keep the students on a very narrow curriculum, teach what's on the test (even though it may hurt later college entrance when there's nothing to put on the application except SAT scores).
And this is why we have clueless morons joining Anonymous, so that they can screw up a whole hospital without leaving their mother's basement. Sure he *thought* he was making a different, but he did not make any difference and he put other people in danger. Which is more fun than actually protesting, contributing funds for a lawsuit, writing an angry letter, and so forth. Sure, those actions might not cause any change, but neither did this action. No injustices were righted, no problems fixed, no angels earned their wings.
If he did care at all, he would have not done this anonymously and he would have announced what he did or claimed responsibility afterwords. Instead he waited until after he was arrested. He did it for the lulz, no other reason.
Anonymous exists to give their members an exuse to lash out. Just like Guy Fawkes their hero, they try to cause disruption but are inept at doing so and end up in history as a laughing stock.
Cashiers today have trouble giving change in decimal if the cash register is not working or the power is out. It's not hard whatever the types of denomination are as long as someone taught you how once. Count out the change from lowest denomination to highest. And I learned that in school before ever having a job, it's a quick way to introduce some basic arithmetic. But I don't think they teach that anymore. If I hand someone a $20 bill with some change I often get a confused look while they try to count how much they have. It's like trying to explain big hands and little hands to someone who has never seen a clock.
I dont' really use it for music, I don't use anything for music. The store I will never use. But for podcasts it just works. Every few weeks I plug the ipod back in (is normally in the glove box of my car), it syncs the new podcasts/music and removes the podcasts I listened to. Every week I start up itunes, wait for it to get new podcast episodes, then exit it. To get a new podcast that I see at a web site it generally just a click or two.
Yes, itunes is annoying even for podasts at times. Every update seems to rewrite the UI from scratch. So I don't bother updating it very often, but since it almost never runs and I only use it for syncing, I don't worry about it.
The ipod too has a very nice user interface. At least the older ones before they went with the moronic shuffle or adding a one inch by one inch video and so on. I've got ipod nano 3rd generation.
Not in a generic search. Mind you I have no idea what imessage is. But even if I were on google, and I was looking for an image such as "strawberries", I would be prepared to see the worst the internet had to offer and wouldn't do this search at work.
And seriously, images should not come up in a search. It's the internet, it's too dangerous to just let images come up during a search without clicking on a link first. Sure some search engines wnat to show you pics, but it's a bad idea.
There's no decent substitute for them though. MP3 players are just crap at dealing with podcasts. Itunes makes managing podcasts very easy. I had my ipod stolen from my car this year and there weren't any reasonable alternatives - itunes won't work with non-apple products, and non-apple products don't have good software tools. The newer ipods though suck badly, so I had to go to amazon to find older models.
The history of the MacBook shows that every year there's a new unnecessary change, the ports will move around randomly, and at least one port will vanish.
It's a standard, following standards is a good idea. It's not like the MacBook Pro is too thin for the headphone jack, unlike the Macbook Air. Make it any thinner and the thing will bend under its own weight.
I use the headphone jack too, to be polite to the coworkers. I'm not heading down to the Apple Store to talk to the Genii and get a $25 dongle just to listen to a cat video.
I knew about them and have eaten one, and I'm California born and have never been to China. They're sold in the US, and Chinese nationals and Americans with Chinese ancestry will share them with coworkers and friends.
Ok, what phone comes with a map for free, no ads, no tracking, no other evil stuff? Right now the phone allows me to opt out (which is bad, all this spying should be opt in) so what's the problem? If it gets to the point where I can't get around it then I'll stop using it.

He could have announced his reasons. He waited until long after he was arrested though. Sort of pointless unless someone knows the reason.

Not sure exactly what iMessage is, but "message" implies more text than image.
