So you don't see any difference between getting pulled over by a cop for a traffic violation and being asked for your license and registration and sitting a coffee shop and having an undercover cop come up to you for no discernible reason and demand your id and travel papers?
Being required to show that you are a licensed and insured driver while operating a vehicle that requires a license and insurance to legally operate on public roads it just like "papers, please".
Apple: one maker, a handful of models, little to no revision with a model line, one vendor. Android: many makers, many models, revisions within model lines, multiple vendors.
I think iFanboys can still point out the plank in the Droidbois' eye despite the new mote in theirs.
(btw 4.3 wasn't the first version to not make it onto the early models)
MS never had a good image here. The suits and pencil pushers that actually get things purchased for business are a different story. "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" basically./. is a tempest in a teacup when it comes to what the rest of the world likes or dislikes.
If it wasn't for that meddling Apple it be the year of Linux on the desktop!
Like all warfare is based on deception, all business is based on image. You could have the best product ever but if your company has a bad business image no one will touch it.
/. doesn't get along with rules well (unless it is the GPL, the holy word of RMS [blessed be his beard]). All it would take is a poorly worded summary and/. would be up in arms against a law that prohibits using planet-killing scale weapons.

I think you just figured why you get down modded all the time.
If 99.99% of hacked consoles are used for piracy it wouldn't be silly to assume that any particle console was hacked for piracy. Even if only 50% are used for piracy it wouldn't be silly. Pirates (warm up your mental gymnastics pirates) cost them money, so even if the hacked consoles aren't predominantly for piracy as long as a significant number are it isn't silly to think hacked consoles are for piracy.
I have a DS and a CycloDS card. All my games are played off that card. All the games on that card are rips of the actual carts I own (not borrowed or "backing up for a friend", never once "previewed" or downloaded a game) and still have physical possession of and I don't see Nintendo thinking that flash carts are for piracy as a silly thing. I don't pirate but I am an exception not the normal flash cart user. Nintendo taking measures to stop flash carts will hit me but they are rightly aimed at the pirates.
Care to provide a link? Google searches only turn up discussions on whether or not it was actually removed from devices./. would have been all over that with it's lust for Apple blood.
So far it's Google 2 Apple 0 in the remotely removed apps game. I wonder why no anti-Apple people mention that. Google's winning. Why wouldn't they be trumpeting that?
Is $15k a significant chunk of change for WL or is it less than a day's allocation of the hookers and blow funds? How much of what has been donated to WL specifically for this cause is $15k?
Mean ol' Apple and their proprietary Apple Audio Codec. Having to have apps approved before not just ad-hoc distribution but during development as well is just plain evil. Or all in your head. Personally, I'm going with the latter.
Tsk tsk. Google good, Apple bad. By the way you've been given a free (mandatory) trip to the/. re-education center.
Apple pays Foxconn extra to pay their workers more so they don't commit suicide, so the conditions at Foxconn when working on Apple must be that much worse then when working on Google parts.
Ok, on rereading it looks like "Restart the world and it's randomly generated from scratch." could be a positive tone.
In that case that option is already there, you can delete your save files or not go back to that host, a perma-death option just lets you force the game into doing that for you.
Wouldn't perma-death mean banning your account from that host (you died, you don't exist in that world anymore) or deleting the save files for a local game (once again, you died, you don't exist in that world)?
If you can respawn into the same world you may not have your inventory (immediately) but you have knowledge from the last character that is still a resource so it's not really perma-death, especially since there's no soul bound gear or levels to grind for. The new you can find the corpse or base of the old you and continue on as if nothing happened.

Libertarian rage! Raaargh! Freedom!

The OLPC hasn't had the integral crank since the design phase.

Have you tried Somalia? I hear it's nice this time of year. You can pay off the criminal syndicate in lead there.
Rich people will do what ever it takes to stay rich. Film at 11.
Ya, this isn't news at all. News would be a billionaire that isn't using tax dodges or shelters or havens.

Wait, you mean cows aren't spherical, their fields aren't frictionless nor are airless?
I'm sure the Inlanders would beg to differ that no one owned the land the Coasties wanted to move onto.

I don't think it's illegal to disallow out of spec devices from accessing a service. It may be your box but it's their service.

Good idea, but it won't work. Apple fanbois are even more hated than Assangebois and there's never enough mod points to shut them up.

You might have an argument there if there weren't free apps in the app store. 30% of 0 is what again?

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
1. It existed. That should be a full stop but I'll add in:
2. Somethings were not accessible from OtherOS.
