You report back on factual findings that demonstrate why the person is an ass, you don't just write "he's an ass". The asshattery judgement is made by the reader.
You're allowed to have opinions; however putting them in recorded official government documents is unprofessional and open to shit like this. If it is exposed to the public, it can be perceived as the governments official internal position.
People working for the US government and its agencies should know better than anyone that anything you publish may come back to haunt you or your employer. This sort of thing can and should be handled with far more tact.
No the real gold is in the profit returned vs effort expended. iOS is massively profitable for minimal support (they have two currently supported platforms, vs the hundreds of different android variants and processor specs out there).
For business use where you're not playing 3d games but merely want nice desktop effects and accelerated video decoding, intels onboard chipsets are fine.
If you're wanting to do 3d modelling (at work) or gaming (at home), you're in a small segment of the market. This is not what intel are aiming at with their onboard graphics solutions, so don't be surprised that they have generally sucked at it.
Exactly. If you're a corp who... y'know, actually has information you want to keep private (that you've won over hard-earned experience to achieve a competitive advantage), but maybe want to share with JV partners on a limited basis, the AD rights management allows you to achieve this.
If you don't like the DRM, then don't buy it. there is plenty of free media out there for you to listen to/watch, the DRM infested shite is no great loss.
No its not. There are different i7 CPUs and the one in your laptop is likely NOT the same as the equivalent desktop model you get in a desktop. I've got an i7 in my laptop as well but its not the same as the desktop part.
If the US doesn't ditch the USD, then its citizens will be using it. Foreign entities who have large reserves of USD will be able to out-compete the local citizens for resources. OIL is also traded in USD only at the moment.
If the US stops accepting USD for sale of goods in the US, then other countries will simply stop supplying the US with goods and services. You'll also need to instate a new currency for the US citizens to use. Given that the US basically produces very little in terms of manufacturing any more, they're going to get the short end of the stick.
Well, if you have the reserve currency (USD, currently) actually you can magic things out of thin air. You simply print more notes, buy from overseas and until the rest of the world realises that your "reserve" currency is backed by basically fuck all, you're home free.
Unfortunately seeing as the US has been doing this since vietnam, people are finally catching on and going to start dumping their USD like crazy (i.e., buying back all those assets/resources your citizens purchased with monopoly money)
People buying sub $5 games on the iOS app store are NOT going to suddenly buy $5 games on the app store instead of proper computer-oriented titles at a higher price. Games/apps are cheap on the app store for 3 reasons: 1 - they're simple (and thus less complex to develop); 2 - the market is HUGE, there are over 100 million iOS devices out there; and 3 - the distribution and promotion is all handled through the app store.
When full computer-based titles come to the app store, prices will drop due to the ease of distribution, but the complexity/development costs will not.
You'll see a vast range of little utility apps be publicly available for cheap (probably at the expense of FREEWARE/SHAREWARE, but full price titles will not drop more than say 20%, is my bet.
The market for full OS X software simply isn't big enough to make a killing selling full featured titles are $5 a pop.
Apple has been offering cloud services since around 1996 when they ditched floppy drives and offered online storage instead. Sure, this is new, but to imply they're playing catch up by "moving slowly" when they offered cloud services before MS or any other consumer OS reseller and are offering new services like this first is a bit retarded.
No sure. But they haven't found anything to give away to compensate for the SMS bullshit that has remained unacknowledged and unfixed for over 9 months.
Mandatory firewall on every machine, AV on every machine, private NAT IP address on the 3g service and user unwillingness to pay for their 3g internet for skype = in reality it doesn't even happen, and even if it did, its reasonably safe.

For now. Given the root key is compromised expect more varied hardware/firmware support in due course.

Via printer on insecure and scanner on secure network, or keyboard (manual data entry).
Maybe the US foreign policy needs to evolve beyond "their king is an ass" then, rather then covering it up and trying to hide it.
No. Every mac ships with xcode, if you want an app you can download the source and compile it yourself. No one is FORCED to use the app store.
This is a case of apple's licensing being incompatible with the GPL, and cancelling distribution of the app from the app store.

No, you just change the rights to never expire and extract your document.

ok dbune (i am not the AC but i'll have a go anyhow). elaborate. what should rapidshare do to prevent this?
I mean piracy of that game? I got 5 minutes into the demo, bored out of my brain and quit.
Why bother wasting the bandwidth?
Yes, but the vast majority is in USD - and those trading in Euros are (co-incidentally) "terrorists" or "nuclear threats".
A big reason the US is so anti-iran lately is because of the Euro oil trade.
