You're assuming I violated the first corollary (the more/. hypes/likes something the worse it is) of the slashdot rule (the more/. hates something the better it is) and read it. BNW gets tossed around as much as that Franklin quote (who is now powering a small city in a Spinning Grave Turbine).
Bread and circuses were more about bribing the mob into being content enough to not riot than exploiting ADD.
If you're having trouble figuring out what is real news I suggest putting down the conspiracy rags and picking up an actual newspaper.
Don't forget the blackmail file. If it's something so scandalous that it can be used as a weapon it's probably something that should be out in the open (of a much higher priority than which Russian leader is the super hero and which is the side-kick).
Google is a great time saver. It looks things up for you. "Hannibal Lector roller" even brings up the relevant quote up as the first link! How's that for time saving?
But I'll save you the effort and google that for you: "There are shallow rollers, and there are deep rollers. You can't breed two deep rollers... or their young, their offspring, will roll all the way down... hit and die. Agent Starling is a deep roller, Barney. Let us hope one of her parents was not." from wikiquote.
War, and all its accompanying atrocities, is humanity in its purest form. From the loyalty to and sacrifice for "our" tribe/side/country to the fear of and cruelty to "the other".
To make genocide inconceivable would require genocide.
Anything Apple gets promoted to a worldwide conspiracy.
Then reverse the meaning of what ever Apple is doing and if singular make it "for all". Example: Apple is adding a new distribution mechanism. In/. speak this translates to "Apple is taking away all other distribution methods."
Then make vague allusions to all governments becoming Apple and all people becoming Apple (except for the brave/. rebels).
It's pretty simple why Google gets a pass. Google makes Android. Android competes with iOS. iOS is made by Apple. Apple is evil, therefore Google is good.
Sorry, from your rhetoric I assumed you were one of the "Apple is Big Brother and will control all" nutters so I will now put you in the "merchants have no right to control what wares they sell in their own store" nutters bin.
And in the 1 in a (number-greater-than-all-atoms-in-the-universe)^2 chance Apple does something that boneheaded I won't use Apple. Or is an Apple conspiracy to control all computers and governments part of your paranoia?
There is a difference between just profitable and profitable enough. You could turn a $0.01 net profit and it would be "profitable" but possibly not "profitable enough" to justify its resource consumption.

One of those things is not like the others. Or are you one of those second amendment remedy nutters too?
Perhaps "Apple doesn't have to give them away for free like Droid does."
"I don't pay one rate for washing machine electricity and another rate for microwave electricity."
I pay different rates for my water heater electricity and everything-else electricity.
So when did it become illegal for America to let Russian leaders play Batman and Robin?
Don't forget the blackmail file. If it's something so scandalous that it can be used as a weapon it's probably something that should be out in the open (of a much higher priority than which Russian leader is the super hero and which is the side-kick).
"and if you find an error that you can exploit, you may find yourself facing Federal charges for doing so"
If it's an exploit maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

"Then your utopia is to be dead. All persons present potential for pain or conflict, even yourself."
A wise man once said "Life is pain."
To be free from all pain is to be dead, so his utopia really is dead, or for the dead or of the dead, either way not for the living.

Sorry, that's chickenpox, not measles.
I guess you've never had shingles or known someone that has it. Measles doesn't have to kill you to mess you up for life.
Weren't intel macs first released in January 2006? (In other words wouldn't every intel mac meet those specs?)

Hannibal Lector's roller theory (as far as movie theories go) probably applies to scientists and engineers as well.
I call it Spawning Induced Stupidity Syndrome.
They are. They aren't stopping Wikileaks from expressing themselves on whatever host decided to risk the Anonymous mob.
You might want to check your tinfoil hat, it looks like it's on too tight.
I rest my case.

I know. How dare they give us another optional method of getting software! It's the tyranny of choice! Down with tyrants!
"What version of D&D is balanced at all? 3.5e isn't. 2e wasn't. 4e maybe but only cause they update mechanics all the time."
Don't forget Skills and Powers. That was so unbalanced it needed a mention here and possibly an Ignobel Award.
