the problem with this is that most of have literally no options. It is not take your business elsewhere, it is accept their crap or do without. We could go back to dialup, but other than that, I am stuck with Comcast. Verizon DSL is not an option for me, because they say they "oversold" in my neighborhood, so they can't sell any more (after I had already bought, but that's another bitch) leaving me with: Comcast and dialup. If we had the option to "take our business elsewhere" we would not be having this discussion.
Check with CDW.com. They have MS licensing specialists. I think you will find, however, that there is a minimum number of PCs necessary to qualify for this program, which may be why no-one mentioned it to you before,
Slashdot's subscription service adds very little value to the free service, as far as I can tell. I already get a checkbox asking if I want to hide the adds, and if that weren't here, there is still adblock. How much can Slashdot possibly make on subscriptions, and how many people currently viewing for free would pay to view this content? Especially if all sites started charging for viewing because they no longer had ad revenue?
This is NOT copyright infringement. This is fraudulently using someon else's credit card to purchase products. Night and day difference, and the riaa is not involved, as far as I can tell (how can they be? these people put their own music up, and purchased it). The $750,000 is not damages, it is fraudulent charges. By taking this incredibly thin excuse to push your agenda, you discredit it.
In what society that worshipped both gods and goddesses were goddesses inferior to gods? The "Earth Mother" in many religions was the most important deity, and in Greek mythology, Athena (goddess of wisdom) was a tactically superior general over Aries (god of war)
To actively deny the differences between male and female is to call attention to them. Use the word you are comfortable with, don't try to change the language of others, as you will never come accross as more than an asshole.
Why, exactly, is the fact of the difference considered sexist? The word "actress" holds no negative meaning, simply means "female actor". Is the word female sexist?
I stand corrected. A quick visit to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp shows that Java for Apple does, indeed, need to come from Apple.
What I don't get, is why, as Apple still updates OS 10.3, they would not provide Java. Is that Apple's decision, or Sun's?
honest question, not fanboism

Also, what happens when, even with human controlled robots, your target is nothing more to you than a blip on the screen? Will we even try not to kill civilians then?
As an Apple user myself, I think I dislike the fanbois more than Apple haters do. They give us all a bad name (Also an MS user and Linux User. Different tools for different jobs)
Apple has once in its history abandoned an outdated platform. I can still get all the apps I need for my 10.3 computers at work. The difference is the features of the OS itself, not compatibility. The few apps that require 10.4.x or higher (or 10.5.x) are not made by apple, they are made by third parties utilizing new features in the OS. This happens on the Windows platform even more often than Apple, many apps requiring a certain level of service pack to operate.
My guess is that the app store won't have this problem anywhere near as much, as Apple retains tight control on the apps sold. I do not understand why people perceive this as an "apple thing"
None of your advice will protect the child while she is young enough to be placed on the wrong bus. Are you under the impression that a 5 year old should carry a gun? Or that any amount of training could make her 3 feet taller and able to defend herself against a grown man? Lowjacking your kid may be a bit of an over-reaction, but trying to turn a 5 year old into Rambo is plain moronic.
I still prefer to do this kind of work on a Mac, but your opinion here is really a bit dated. Windows hasn't been that bad since XP SP1 was released. At this point, it really does only matter what the user is comfortable with, as a properly set up and properly used Windows box is as stable as OSX at this point (however, that properly used bit is pretty important).
note: I use Mac at home, and Windows at work. They both work for what I use them for.
What kind of repercussions are we discussing? We don't know. What does he have to lose? We don't know. So why are you claiming lack of character? Is it a lack of character to fear for the safety of your children? Any repercussions we bring onto ourselves we bring onto those we love, and must always be mindful of that. Your brand of heroism can be a truly selfish act. There is always a way to make sure that information goes where it needs to be, we do not always need credit for it.

If we're not meant to "play god" Why di He create us in His own image? seem's to me it is his own fault.

Well, there's content that you want to read but wouldn't want to pay for. It's something "nice to have", but you wouldn't spit out dough for it.
All those "nice to have" pages would vanish if it weren't for ads.
Slashdot, anyone?
On the Bberry curve from AT&T, when locked, if you hit the control ball twice it dials 911. Not sure if this is Rim's software or at&t's.
I buy itunes cards at walmart. They take cash (so does the Apple store)

Not to mention the fact that it was Apple that forced USB out into the market as a serious interface..
Being a /. troll and all, I doubt he has ever needed one, or ever will.
which was my point. too subtle?
Too bad, being a /. troll and all, you keep needing to borrow them.

I think the GP's point was not what happened in these cases, but what is on the other side of the door that is now opened.

When did Apple provide Java updates?
No you weren't. Not all of us have mod points.

Doesn't it get confusing to try and "leave work" when you forgot abou "arrive at work"?

Current thinking is that the whole name badge thing was a bad idea, because a predator can use the childs name to feign fmiliarity.
