Agreed. There is being tough and then there is just being stupid. There is a huge difference between "just rub some dirt in it, you'll be fine" and "Oh my god, he split his head open and is going to be fucking jacked up the rest of his life, assuming he lives through the surgeries."
I still don't get how there is a determination that they are separate markets. I could see if Microsoft was actually making a profit on IE, but they were giving it away for free. And it's their software, if they want to integrate IE into Windows, that should be their prerogative. I'm pretty certain that politics played a much larger role than any actual loss by any company due to IE being included in the OS. It was a Bill Clinton run DOJ that brought down the smack hammer on Microsoft, and we all know how much those democrats love to stick it to the big man on campus. Don't care if I get modded down, I have karma to burn.
By this same logic, Microsoft owns both the copyright to Windows and Internet Explorer. Wouldn't it be within their rights to install IE on their own copyrighted software however they wish? Of course not. But somehow, logic only applies to Microsofts products, not to Apples products.
If not for the TPM, you could run OS X on pretty much any IBM Compatible x86 machine. That's a good enough definition of "running it." And I'm pretty sure you could get the Eye Sight to work without Apple's software. Open source drivers are written all the time for a variety of hardware.
I love how Apple Fanboys basically damn MS for exactly what Apple does, but somehow justify their argument by saying it is okay for Apple to do it but not okay for MS to do it because of MS' monopoly.
Those statements won't hold up in court either, so that's pointless. Mandatory Arbitration violates Due Process of Law, and most sensible Judges will just laugh and allow any civil suits to continue. There are examples to the contrary, but they are far and few inbetween. Hopefully, the Arbitration Fairness Act will get passed sometime over the next year and then it'll be moot as Mandatory Arbitration will become illegal.
You have to keep at it. Takes a while the first time, and takes a while to get used to. Optometrist showed me a trick that people use (although I don't need it as I'm perfectly comfortable touching my eye now). First (obviously), clean your hands very good. Then, pull down your lower eyelid, under your eye, and touch the tip of your finger to your eyeball. It's okay if you flinch violently, this takes practice. Keep doing this many times, and do this exercise I'd say at least a couple of minutes a day for a week or more until you can touch your eyeball without flinching at all. Then try contacts again. It'll be much easier to put them in.
WGA doesn't completely disable the OS though. And if you buy a legit copy of Windows, they don't try to disable it. Huge difference there. You can buy a legit copy OS X and they'll still disable it if you aren't using their hardware. Nice try though.
Love or hate MS, but this is a big reason why Apple has so little of the share of the home desktop market. MS has been known for a lot of things, but they don't pull this kind of garbage with Windows. MS has unintentionally broken things at time, but I cannot recall in recent history when MS has released an update to ever intentionally break something. Apple seems to do it with both iTunes and OSX on a regular basis. I guess that's why Apple has to have attack advertisements, whereas MS generally takes the higher ground with their ads.
Why? Maybe I can understand the anger at the trust fund babies that just had money handed to them, but a lot of those rich people are rich because they had the skills to earn more money than you or I did (I'm hardly anything close to even smelling rich, so don't think this is a post from someone chillin' in a mansion while getting a foot massage while he's posting on slashdot, me and the wifey barely make our bills). But what right do you have to tell someone else how much they are allowed to earn?
I didn't mention that it would be a free ride (only that the education would be free) or that it'd be easy. Serving in the military is a sacrifice and not for everyone, but for those willing to do it, there are some great benefits. And I'll admit that the VA system sucks (my father has to deal with those jackoffs) and I'm still waiting on Obama's campaign promise to fix the VA (good luck on that one, right?).
I know you probably realize this now, but you should have just waited one year and then went to school, and then the financial data would've worked in your favor. But hindsight is 20/20.
Don't know how it was at the school you went to, but where I went, when you sign up for loans/grants/etc at Financial Aid, you had to sign indicating what kind of aid you wanted, and they advised you of current rates for federal financial aid when you went through the FAFSA process.
You sir are a moron. You apparently are not aware of all of the options that are not tied to any bank available to people to get a proper college education. Or you are just a fucking moron. I'm going to go with B.
Haven't seen this mentioned, but anyone who's willing to join the military will have availability to a free college education, and job experience to go along with that that employers look VERY highly upon, because the military is better at training than just about any private company in the entire world, and because of their management training (pretty much 75% or higher of the percentage of people in the military are the boss of someone, and the longer you stay in, the more people you will end up managing).
Man, my wife was such a dumbass to go to school to get a Bachelor's Degree in Medical Technology. I'm willing to bet the Florida State Medical Licensing Board would see her experience and just overlook the piece of paper.
Only if you are a lazy fuck. Grants, scholarships, and paid internships are available for people willing to search/work for them. Also, I don't know if it's the case in all states, but in the state of Florida, any public university must accept a 2 year degree towards a 4 year degree program, so you can go to a junior/community college for your first two years, get an AA (or equivalent) and then apply to a 4 year state school and if you did good in your AA and possibly have financial issues in paying for a 4 year degree, you probably will be able to find enough grants and scholarships to get you over the hump. People need to stop whining about how "the rich folk are holding them down" and hunker down and work hard to get to where you want to be. I'm so sick of people who are hard on their luck just waiting for the government or charity handout and not willing to do something about it themselves. And before anyone starts railing on me, I am not rich nor did I come from money. Dad was enlisted in the Air Force and both my sister and myself have gone to college.
This hilarious thing about the point you make is that when your financial ability to pay is determined, they factor in how much your parents make, even if they cannot afford to help you pay for school. I had this problem and they determined that I made too much to get grants even though my parents could only do so much to help me.
Most ignorant post of the day award goes to you, Profane MuthaFucka (The name says it all, right?). How do you propose that College employees (Professors, Adjuncts, Non-teaching Staff, Maintanence, etc) get paid if education was free. I'm sure it's just a vast right-wing conspiracy to keep minorities out of college, right? Has nothing to do with economics, nahh that'd be nuts.

There is one problem with your argument. Libraries pay to have books on their shelves, they don't just get them for free. So it is apples to oranges.

Didn't know that they stopped including it in newer models. Thanks for the info.

They haven't really. They just haven't bothered to try and support every esoteric configuration under the sun.
So then how do you explain the use of a TPM on Mac Hardware? File this under "ignore the man behind the curtain" perhaps?

I do recall saying "in recent history."
