It also might have something to do with the fact that killing people causes harm, but charging money for entertainment merely causes inconvenience. In my eyes, this is the second most interesting thing about the copyright argument: the utter lack of perspective.
What I find most interesting about the argument over copyright is how it boils down to two groups justifying why their greed is more meaningful and important.
I see it as a reason that all passport information should be freely accessible to anyone who wants it. After all, it's owned by the public already. Full transparency is a more effective solution than full opacity because it's both easier to achieve, and eliminates abuses by making them uses.
The real issue with writing objects in javascript is that there really isn't much reason -- unless you want your code to be a 300k download on your skimpy little webpage. This sentence exposes that you are one of the 99% of people who don't actually understand how to use the language.
In a way, whining about this in a widely read forum like Slashdot, is defending our privacy Two points. First, no it isn't. It's whining. Second, Slashdot isn't really that big, and the audience is very self-selecting for certain points of view. Stories like this are fodder for the feedback loop.
Well at the very least it has to be capable of utilizing the frequencies and speaking the correct protocol. You probably already considered that and were deliberating appearing stupid, though.
Oh, well I wasn't aware you had anecdotal evidence to back you up. I'll just step aside and let you denigrate entire generations based on your prejudices and accept it as fact.
you're not being a dick just because you can. But teaching invaluable lessons to the other drivers on the road is half the pleasure of driving. That's why I do things like pull in front of anyone passing me on the right, and coming to a dead stop in the middle of intersections to ensure that other drives also come to a full stop before pulling through.
Well, I'm only a Gen-Xer, but it seems that you are an exception to the rule when it comes to Gen Y. Bullshit. People born after you are no worse than you are, just like people born before you are no better. Don't get your panties in a wad over your own superiority, people are still people, and pretty much the same.
The problem with the article, of course, is that there is nothing evil about any of it. It's just another terrible exaggeration, diluting the word until it becomes meaningless.
And if you don't see the iPhone SDK going anywhere, you don't have much vision. Just sayin.
There's more than one generation between 3.11 and Vista. I'm not really defending Microsoft, I think the requirements for Vista are outrageous, but intellectual dishonesty doesn't really serve anyone.
I hear this all the time and never see it in real life. I suspect this is just more Slashdot Ludditism - elitist types longing for the days when they belonged to a secret brotherhood filled with arcane rituals and the exciting feeling of shunning and being shunned by society.

Your superior intellect is obvious.
It was essentially satire. I hoped my subject made that fact somewhat clear, but I was intentionally subtle, as satire must be. Too subtle, evidently.

I'll admit it. I run Windows XP on this laptop. Don't feel like struggling with my computer to browse the web for a little while.
Who said perfect? Is the system this is designed to supplement/replace perfect? Not by a long shot.
I don't normally get so blunt with people's opinions, but I think you're way off base here.

Of course, I wasn't even aware PETA placed pets in homes. I thought PETA's stance was that keeping a pet is slavery, or something like that.
But computing feels so much better without antivirus.
I gave the benefit of the doubt, and assumed the parent wasn't using an utterly meaningless time scale.
If 6" sounds better to you than 12", you have no future in porn.

That's not what dumping means.
And hearing profanity doesn't hurt you in any measurable way, so why is your right to not hear it?
Great idea! Surely with such a brilliant mind, you can also come up with a workable way to make it actually happen.
Not a moment too soon, really, since no one has been working on ways to stop spam at all.
There is a way to hack the phone without bricking it. You just can't expect Apple to support it any more.
I don't see a fashionable Gestapo listening to hip music whilst the stomp the iPhones of the infidel into the ground.
