    Perhaps he doesn't need to charge more than $2/bag. The $2/bag could be profitable enough for him.

    Oh yes, "enough", a lot of you probably won't understand that term as it isn't "all or nothing".

    Okay former apprentice, what is the technique for filleting a fish (removing the skin from the meat) with a 18" stiff blade oriental knife?

  9. Re:Hunters.. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never actually filleted a fish or used a fillet knife.

    You may have chopped up a fish. You might have pried out some bones from a fish. But a standard kitchen knife is far too stiff cleanly and easily separate skin from meat on most fish.

    So do you advocate shaving with an all around kitchen knife as well instead of a straight razor?

    For some people here at /. Apple could give you money for taking an iPad (or any other Apple device) and they'd still complain that they didn't get enough money.

  14. Re:Apparently Constitution doesn't apply in Utah on Utah Considers Warrantless Internet Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    If you're a life-begins-at-conception prolifer that law is a necessity.

    But they also need to add murder charges for when a fertilized egg fails to implant itself. The "baby" (fertilized egg) was denied care, protection and nutrition by the mother.

    Chimeras should be charged with murder and cannibalism.

  15. Re: Child abuse is the new Godwin. on Utah Considers Warrantless Internet Subpoenas · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not that my opinion ever matters to the talking heads on tv but whenever someone uses something along the "think of the children" line (in a non-satirical way) I consider their argument lost.

    Someone should pass a law enforcing that. If you use a "think of the children" argument you lose. And you get ground glass poured in your eyes.

    As an Apple app store consumer I will say that these boobie apps (along with all the "points" apps for all the mafia wars clones) are basically unwanted spam to me. They make the app store less appealing to use since they clutter the place up.

    Perhaps if the "devs" were less spammy about their 99c collections of images Apple wouldn't have brought the hammer down.

    Lemme guess, you've always been that average, healthy, person.

    And while a person may not have personally used the money spent to cover them it is used within the pool of which they are a part. Which is sorta the "ideal" idea of insurance. Greed/capitalism (sorry for the repetition) has corrupted that just a bit.

    And why exactly should any company be required to provide a service to an out of spec or non-compliant device? Other than you wanting to eat your cake and have it too? Especially when part of the service is providing a gaming service between supposed equal consoles and to provide a level playing field.
