That's almost correct. If it were not for the Fair Use clause, it would be entirely correct. This is why you can make copies for personal use, that is, such copies that are needed to protect the purchase or to utilize the copy you've been given, or to use it in a more convenient manner. Outside of that basic, implicit grant, it's a copyright violation.
Guys like me did help. A lot. Amicably and well for years. At the end of it, the abuse by people that didn't care to treat us as human made it impossible to stay friendly or caring. Rather than subject people do it, I took off.
Read the article with the understanding that it's someone venting after leaving. It's easier to not pick up misunderstandings.
You never hear EMTs giggling after work about stupid guys not being able to recognize heart attack symptoms. They get on the scene, and help the patient. Help the customer. Support them. That's what "IT support" is all about.
Bad analogy. Now if the heart-attack victim shot up off the ground and strangled the EMT and started blaming his for his high cholesterol, well that'd be about right.
The 83MB is not the bootloader. It's the EFI module and the Windows drivers for the Apple hardware that you have to burn to CD to install in Windows after you get it going. Read more slowly next time.
If you are insulted that a spin-off that announced that it would not be like the original was, shockingly, not like the original, then you, sir, need to get laid.
You cannot, however, get flood insurance from a private company.
Bullshit, I have it on my tenant's insurance from Nationwide. You may not be able to get it in flood-prone areas, but you can get it in Texas for a penny or three. Being on the first floor at the bottom of a hill two streets away from a river, I made sure I had it.
Righteo. So it would appear we're raising hell over the symptom and not the problem. If getting the PIN gets you in then it might be time to reconsider the technology completely.
To activate my debit card I have to setup the PIN at the bank, get the card, and call in with my home phone. Failing the home phone bit I can enter my SSN/TPID and activate it remotely (at which point my bank sends another letter stating it was activated by SSN/TPID).
Stop worrying about the paper. Worry about the technology and weak security practices inherent in that process. My bank never prints my PIN on paper. Ever.
A leap year would be a whole new year inserted in the calendar, and it's a possibility in the future that something like this may happen.
No, it's not. The point of leap periods is to maintain the length of the day and the year to their astronomical counterparts. Inserting a year would do absolutely no good towards any end as there is no astronomical measurement beyond a year that is used in the standard time measurements.
You have no clue. The core of Tiger is so radically different from x86 NeXT that... no. It's not "relatively easy" to do.
And just because Darwin works on both platforms doesn't mean the OS will. There are MOSX-only frameworks to rewrite, etc. Unless it's been in the pipe for years, this is not what they're going to talk about.
Presuming they talk about things like this at all. It's all just rumor-mongering in the end.

The Patent Act of 2005

· Score: 4, Informative
Did anyone read the bill before posting about it? The rule for patent acceptance is first-to-file, but a valid patent still requires first-to-invent.
This is designed to clear the PTO's backlog, nothing more.
102. Conditions for patentability; novelty (a) NOVELTY; PRIORART. A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained if (1)(A) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or otherwise known more than one year before the effective filing date of the claimed invention; or (B) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or otherwise known before the effective filing date of the claimed invention, other than through disclosures made by the inventor or by others who obtained the subject matter disclosed directly or indirectly from the inventor; or (2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published under section 122(b), in a case in which the application or the patent names an other inventor and the application was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. (b) COMMONLY ASSIGNED INVENTION EXCEPTION. Subject matter developed by a person other than the inventor that would have qualified as prior art under subsection (a)(2) but not under subsection (a)(1) shall not be prior art to a claimed invention if the subject matter and the claimed invention were, not later than the effective filing date of the claimed invention, owned by the same person or subject to an obligation of assignment to the same person.

ARD 2 works just fine with Intel Macs. Apple even has instructions on how to get it working.
Wow. You really can't read.
The 83MB is not the bootloader. It's the EFI module and the Windows drivers for the Apple hardware that you have to burn to CD to install in Windows after you get it going. Read more slowly next time.
Umm .. Apple's patches do not require payment. Try again.
Hmm. HTML/JS widgets on the desktop .. called Dashboard.

It's just TV.
Only about 100 years.
He's America's problem now. We're disaster-free. You folks are screwed.

Can we get Oklahoma declared a disaster area somehow?

I say the government should move to Internet time and leave the big boy alone. Looks like that already does what it wants...

I don't see why you need more than one... I mean, you're just watching one channel at a time. Put a remote on it and put one on each TV. Ta da.
We just need the price to go down.

Eight 3.2 GHz processors, for one.
:)
GT4 for another.
We know how shows make it to TV. We also know we don't have Nielson boxes and don't factor into what they say and do.
:)
I could leave it tuned into the public access channel and it wouldn't change a thing. That's the point most of us are making.
Except the guy with the box. It's his duty to watch the shows I like.
Oh come on, you know it's punny.

awesome. iWant that.
Inconceivable!

You mean indivisible.
