Many users also don't see the need to have 2 applications running that do exactly the same thing at the same time and to have to arbitrarily switch between them. I would never consider trying to run two browsers on a regular basis.
Uh? Your child's doctor isn't the only one to see the pictures. The radiology technicians have to see them too, and you've probably never and will never meet them. Also, why bash on TSA, I've met a pleasant courteous TSA person on about every other plane trip I've ever taken. I'm sure there are some cranky ones, but think about how much bull they have to put up on a daily basis from jackasses and I think I can understand it.
What I want to know is how body scanners are somehow more invasive than a pat down, you already have to put up with random people groping you, is this so different?
It is unclear to me why you would have to spend 3x as much to run Windows. I recently went Mac and I did price comparisons and found the difference to be $100 in favor of comparable Dells. Only then because they were having some kind of fire sale.
I think the message sending syntax was a little bit strange to get used to. The idea of intermixing names and parameters just seems odd. Still, when I had to do something in Obj-C I was up and running in less than an hour.
I'm pretty sure that's still a local exploit since X has reversed the conventional role of the client/server. For the X client to gain access to the local X server that is running someone has to be logged in locally and launch a remote client through some means.
That argument seem specious to me. You let other people program your computer all the time by running it. Modern browsers are one of the most heavily used applications in existence. Presumably if anything has been tested thoroughly its a browser. Still, I can understand the mentality. How do you get by when so many sites require tremendous amounts of javascript to not offer a degraded experience though.
Yes they can! All the have to do is wrap the platform native playback capabilities (or one of them on Linux). Every major platform has a media framework that can be made to support h.264.
I am worried for Netbeans since I've found it to be pleasant to do Java development in. My consolation is that I've heard from most people that JDeveloper is much more geared towards Oracle's own offerings than any of the other Java IDEs. The rest tend to be more general purpose. Hopefully this means that Netbeans will continue being supported even though their press release on the matter was a little bit vague.
The penalties as such were designed to be imposed on someone who was mass producing VHS/Cassettes/CDs/DVDs for sale. Now we have people who could have potential supplied a song to thousands of people who are being charged with the same penalties as people who HAVE created thousands of fake copies for sale.
So, you are arguing that people should be punished less because advances in technology have made it easier for people to commit the same crimes. This is absurd moral relativism. Its like saying mass murder is more acceptable now that fully automatic weapons are readily available.
Presumably one has to have local access, since to provide input to the NVidia driver one needs a display server running locally and provide bogus input to it.
Not entirely true. I think it depends on the terrain and the training of the militia in general. I know little about military strategy but in urban combat wouldn't both forces be reduced to mostly guys with guns running around in body armor?
Airport express does other things besides stream music. The assumption behind pulse audio is that a great many people have multiple devices (which all have pulse audio running) and would want to play music to and from them while still remembering which one is which. The key sticking point is that multiple computers are required. That is an expensive investment. All of the other options that you mentioned are much cheaper that a full blown second computer and are special purpose devices. The use case for swapping audio streams between multiple general purpose devices still seems tenuous at best to me.
Also, congratulations on the Windows straw man.
To chime in, I particularly like how the easy backup solution involves setting up a file server. My easy backup solution involves getting a TB disk from NewEgg and clicking twice on the Time Machine prompt when I first plug it in.
No one has gone through the effort because, despite what you may believe, the great masses don't care if their sound system can play to another computer since PulseAudio still makes doing so tricky. Its infinitely easier to just turn the speakers up louder so whatever is playing can be heard elsewhere.
I don't think google actually cares about data integrity at the machine level. They have built-in fault tolerance at higher levels of their stack like GFS.
Its hard to keep your folder organized. I used to be really big on keeping my folders organized, but in my own personal experience the hierarchical thing doesn't always work nicely in my data. There are overlaps, or adding new files changes my conception about what the hierarchy should be. That is why the the advent of spotlight, windows search that actually works, and the various linux indexing services have been a godsend. I can keep things semi-organized and the indexers still let me find stuff if I'm not quite sure where I would have put it in my organization at some later point.
No one is using Android because its a free OS though. Completely different demographic. I'm sure some people support it for that reason, but certainly not enough to drive Droid's sales numbers as high as they are.

Fortunately for those poor users, IE 8 runs as the equivalent of Nobody on Vista and 7 and can only read/write in a small sandbox.

Mini-addendum. "a working audio in port" My MacBook has a single audio port. There is a global preference that toggles out/in behavior.
Pirating is the wrong answer. If you feel so strongly you go without. By pirating the lack of any meaningful moral conviction shows through.

Or, they could just not support a company by purchasing devices that have a usage model they disagree with...

I think a NoVideo would be easy to implement since elements can be manipulated by Javascript.

That would be tremendously amusing. I can see the headline now. Bing robots DDoS attack every Unix hosted site by assuming Windows linefeeds.
I would therefore assume Apple believe it is innocent and therefore sees no reason to cross-license.
