And clearly you have no idea how to support a huge deployment of desktops for non-technical users if you think "just let the auto-update run" is a viable strategy.
You've made it pretty clear you have no actual understanding of what's going on here.
What surprises me is that you got modded up. I miss when you could count on Slashdot people at least understanding technical issues. Now it's a crapshoot.
You should be, you basically rely on us to power the economic engine that drives the whole state and we make you all look like inbred retards who spend most of your time worshipping sky fairies and trying to figure out how to bring back the confederacy.
Well technically, you people make yourselves look that way. We just make you look bad in contrast.
Hey, what's that logical fallacy called when you make up the argument for the other side so you can shoot it down? I figured you would know, since you just did it right there.
If you can't tell the difference between a bluray and a dvd, you either have something misconfigured or your percept system is broken. It's plainly obvious on all by SDTVs.
No, the way copyright is being enforced is a perversion of the original idea - because the way copyright is being massively, willfully infringed is a violation of the social contract.
It's not like we're choosing between good and evil here - I just have a hard time having sympathy for people who take the position that their greed is somehow morally correct.
Most modern manufacturing is low-skill precisely because we no longer rely on the inconsistencies of building things by hand.
Incidentally, picking planes as an example is fairly disingenuous. The article specifies iPads, which likely requires two weeks training tops to become proficient in whatever step the individual worker is doing. You can't really take examples from 65+ years ago and remotely hope to make them relevant to business today. It's not the same game.

I didn't take a stand, so that's not really participation in the argument.
Don't worry, though, redefining words to mean what you want is a very Slashdot way of doing things.
Are you sad you didn't get to laugh yet, Apple hater?
It's hard to link to nothing at all...
I kid. Sorta.
Apple fanboi's have a weird insecurity and chronic need to feel like they are better
Oh, so totally unlike Apple haters, huh?
These arguments are fun to read, but I have to imagine the participants are amongst the most pathetic human beings around.
So you actually couldn't name one...

That's not possible, I heard that Europeans get a billion megagigabits per second and the ISPs pay them for the privilege of providing service.

None of those places are Northern Virginia

No, that's not true at all... it's not even close to true. Just how tinfoil hat are you?
I'm more spooked by the pedant's need to point it out every single time. Where do all you English freaks come from, and why do you think we care?
How amazingly useful!
What are your rates for parties? I usually have a lot of trouble getting people to leave, and I'm pretty sure you can do the job in a flash.

He wants to redesign a site he doesn't own to perform tasks it wasn't designed to do...
Tim, buddy, thanks for inventing the web, but to put it indelicately, what the fuck are you talking about?
Either racist or northern European. But I repeat myself.
No, I followed the discussion just fine. Were the parts you quoted supposed to prove something beyond your ability to read words that weren't there?
There wasn't a spec of advice in that post. You're wandering dangerously close to making your sig ironic.
That depends, which one is natural?
Well that's for rats. Anything for humans? Cause yeah, I didn't have any problems finding unrelated stuff like that myself.
Why can't it be both? You haven't really made a case that rules out the original claim.
Do you have anything based on science or are you just going to spout unsourced hippiecrap as fact?
Well, you can try... but I can take it from you and give it away and you can't do anything about it.
It's effectively impossible to sell GPLed software. Everyone makes money on a support model, or via some violations (like say this story)
