Someone bombing a security line would have about as much psychological effect as a suicide bomber in a market. A mention on the news and then life goes on. Plus the security line would be a fairly low target density area (compared to an aircraft) to hit, people may be densely packed in the line but only in that dimension and you wouldn't get the free kills of everyone else in the area unless you were packing a big enough bomb to bring down the building structure.
Biological or chemical attacks would make a lot more sense in an airport. You're not going to get the showy explosion and crash of an aircraft with a building.
The only thing those Somalian pirates are fighting against is their own personal poverty.
You rail about foreign countries raping poor countries then praise China? Why do you think they are putting infrastructure in? It's not for the benefit of the locals. China is there to get what they can.
And it's not like we're taking the food out of their mouths. They are selling the food out of their mouths. But only evil white men try to get rich at the expense of others so they must not be selling of their own free will.
Actually more people living longer means more people will need drugs for their longer lifespan.
If "everyone" keels over during infancy there's not much of a window to sell them drugs. Get families that pop out 10+ kids and get them all living to be geriatric and you've got a pharmaceutical gold mine.
Your friend could also build you an iPhone app and put it on your device without going through Apple. Ad hoc distribution. Normal devs get 100 copies, enterprise 500.
Or maybe Apple decided that the interface with tablets wasn't up to snuff for being a general purpose computer but it could work as a device with specific uses in mind. Apple seems to care about the user experience and they probably figured out that by pissing off the small percentage of people like you they could provide a sellable experience to everyone else.
Trying to be all things to all people generally doesn't work out well. Doing a limited selection of things but doing them well tends to be the better choice. (Do you complain that your chef's knife doesn't have a saw and screwdriver and awl and flashlight?)
If I want to buy a fillet knife I don't expect it to do the same things as a machete. Is the fillet knife locked down because I can't use it to hack down underbrush?
When I buy a console, I don't expect it to be a general purpose computer. In fact, that would be one of the reasons I chose to buy a console instead of a pc for playing games: it does what it does, the hardware is set so as long as the game is made for that console it will run. 'Just working' is one of the console's selling points. No fiddling with drivers and settings to get a game to run. Not everyone drools over how cheap of a home computer they can make a console into. If I want a pc, I'll buy a pc and I'll spend what it takes to put together a system that does what I want it to.
I've done some wardriving while in the middle of nowhere (had roadsigns that said Canada and just had an arrow, no city, no province, just Canada and an arrow) just to see what was out there. I was surprised to see as much wifi activity as I did up there.
It is fun to watch a spectrum analyzer when someone fires up a microwave. Old cordless phones are entertaining too. One is a multi-megaton nuke, the other a tac-nuke.
Large corporations like regulations that they write. That's pretty obvious.
Now if regulations were written without all the clauses and loopholes and in a plain enough language for the average entrepreneur to understand without a team of lawyers the large corporations wouldn't like that (which is why they aren't written like that).
Also, being a small business isn't an excuse to ignore regulations. "Hi, I'm a start up nuclear waste disposal company so I'll need all these regulations waived so I can compete."
How does going out into the rec yard to play basketball contribute?
How does having a library contribute?
How does having windows, lights and environmental control contribute?
If the goal of prison is just to punish and deter, why don't we just start lopping off extremities or torturing them? Perhaps because the goal of prison was more than just to punish and deter but narrow minded vengeful nitwits have decided that getting their just deserts was more important than reformation.
Of course they don't purchase anything from evil Apple. They just go on and on about all these mythical Apple fanboys that apparently won't shut up about Apple when in reality it seems to be the haters endlessly going on and on about Apple.
Hmm, most people I've met that shove Apple in other people's faces are actually the anti-Apple crowd going on and on how annoyed they are at the pro-Apple people shoving Apple in their face.
I've yet to meet an actual pro-Apple person that shoved something Apple in my face other than using an Apple product in plain view in public (SHOCK! HORROR!).
And 30 minutes of sunlight in some locations will leave you with frostbite, hypothermia or just plain death if you're running around with a lot of exposed flesh.
A couple taaaalll glasses of milk or losing a few extremities... tough choice.
Probably because culturally we've adopted the unsophisticated view that for someone to succeed everyone else must fail and that anything short of total $NOUN domination is a failure.
Tautology time: Apple is Apple. As long as Apple remains Apple and is profitable as Apple, Apple doesn't need to try to become Google or Microsoft. But in this mba laden world if Apple isn't increasing their market share (never mind if they are profitable already at their current share) at their competitors expense then they are obviously failing.

Device support for Theora does suck. And for me, that's the deal breaker.
Yes, yes, I know there's $obscure_bad_interface_linux_based_device that supports Theora and Ogg.
In the hopes that google will notice this and help spread the word:
Fortinet sucks!
Fortiguard sucks!
Especially since they keep classifying google translate as proxy avoidance.
Just about every week I have to send in that google translate has been incorrectly blocked. Works for a few days and then back to proxy avoidance.

Actually the music will quite happily keep playing in the background.

I suggest you inform your local professional football team's linebackers that they are all using feminine hygiene products.
Well, if someone had an isLate they wouldn't be needing an iPad.
Good luck finding any existing word that isn't an euphemism or innuendo for something.
I've never been prevented from running any particular program that I've wanted to by OS X so please enlighten me on how it is locked down.

Aside from not being able to be legally run on random hardware, how is OS X locked down?
And on the Daily Show the talking heads are actually talking and taking turns at it as well.
Basically all the 24-hour news channels that have guests or panelists end up sounding like a dog and cat fight.

So what you're saying is DD-WRT goes to 11?
I don't see how that helps solve the 'loudness' problem for anyone but yourself, which really doesn't solve the problem at all.

Could you "just quit" people please clue the rest of us in on how you guys are getting magically portable health insurance?
And if you say HSA I hope you never have a catastrophic event that could easily cost 100% of a few decades worth of your income.
