Still why can't someone buy OSX 10.6 and put it in a VM?
Because Apple can't make any money off their hardware if people weren't forced to buy it along with OS X.
The big barrier keeping OS X from running on any ol' box came down when they switched to Intel, so now they protect their income stream with a EULA and a bunch of lawyers instead.
Unbelievable? I find it suprising that you don't see the incredible untrustworthiness of such testimony. It's self-serving. If you've been arrested, why the hell should the court give ANY weight to something you said to save yourself at the time?
What's self serving about it? Either everything you said at the time of the incident (as stated by a third party who was there in a less than objective capacity) should be usable in court, or none of it. The only thing I see about this being "self-serving" is that it takes away the advantage the state enjoys in prosecution, where the testimony of their agents is considered to be truthful only when it paints the defendant negatively.
The fact you were arrested as absolutely nothing to do with whether you are guilty or not! Americans seem to constantly overlook that.
Calling CO2 "pollution" is stretching the limits of the word. It's a greenhouse gas, but pollution implies something that "doesn't belong there" and isn't a good fit, IMO. Would you call O2 pollution?
Frankly, I think it's incredible that plants can live as well as they do considering how little of the atmosphere consists of CO2.
For some reason, corporations seem to feel the need to compete in areas where they're clearly outmatched no matter what.
That's the way the global economy works. If you aren't growing, then you are dying. However much you have today, it's not enough... you must have more.
Also, source for your claim about those 'pontifical secrets'?
On 25 November 1981, Pope John Paul II named Ratzinger Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, formerly known as the Holy Office, the historical Inquisition. Consequently, he resigned his post at Munich in early 1982. He was promoted within the College of Cardinals to become Cardinal Bishop of Velletri-Segni in 1993, was made the College's vice-dean in 1998 and dean in 2002.
In office, Ratzinger fulfilled his institutional role, defending and reaffirming Catholic doctrine, including teaching on topics such as birth control, homosexuality, and inter-religious dialogue. Leonardo Boff, for example, was suspended, while others were censured. Other issues also prompted condemnations or revocations of rights to teach: for instance, some posthumous writings of Jesuit priest Anthony de Mello were the subject of a notification. Ratzinger and the Congregation viewed many of them, particularly the later works, as having an element of religious indifferentism (i.e., Christ was "one master alongside others").
The Congregation is best known for its authority over the teaching of Church doctrine, but it also has jurisdiction over other matters, including cases involving the seal of the confessional, clerical sexual misconduct and other matters, in its function as what amounts to a court. In his capacity as Prefect, Ratzinger's 2001 letter De delictis gravioribus which clarified the confidentiality of internal Church investigations, as defined in the 1962 document Crimen Sollicitationis, into accusations made against priests of certain crimes, including sexual abuse, became a target of controversy during the sex abuse scandal. While bishops hold the secrecy pertained only internally, and did not preclude investigation by civil law enforcement, the letter was often seen as promoting a coverup. The Pope was accused in a lawsuit of conspiring to cover up the molestation of three boys in Texas, but sought and obtained diplomatic immunity from prosecution.
The tool probably fails because it is only for Home versions of McAfee. You may be forced to do a wipe and reinstall. These programs often refuse to be uninstalled as a "safety measure" so they can't be deleted by viruses. My school used Sophos and I simply could not get it off the computer later without a full reinstall.
I would recommend you try Microsoft Security Essentials as your replacement... good luck!
Wait, is it legal to use/copy/share Red Hat (the real thing, not CentOS) without purchasing support?
I'm not sure about personal use, but copying and sharing would seem to be prohibited because of their trademarks.
Verbatim copying and redistribution of the entire Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution is not permitted due to trademark restrictions. However, there are several redistributions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux—such as CentOS—with trademarked features (such as logos, and the Red Hat name) removed.
Originally, Red Hat's enterprise product, then known as Red Hat Linux, was made freely available to anybody who wished to download it, while Red Hat made money from support. Red Hat then moved towards splitting its product line into Red Hat Enterprise Linux which was designed to be stable and with long-term support for enterprise users and 'Fedora' as the community distribution and project sponsored by Red Hat. The use of trademarks prevents verbatim copying of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux is based completely on free and open source software, Red Hat makes available the complete source code to its enterprise distribution through its FTP site to anybody who wants it. Accordingly, several groups have taken this source code and compiled their own versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, typically with the only changes being the removal of any references to Red Hat's trademarks and pointing the update systems to non-Red Hat servers. Groups which have undertaken this include CentOS (the most popular as of March 2009), Oracle Enterprise Linux, Scientific Linux, White Box Enterprise Linux, StartCom Enterprise Linux, Pie Box Enterprise Linux, X/OS, and Lineox. All with the exception of Oracle Enterprise Linux provide a free mechanism for applying updates without paying a service fee to the distributor.
Rebuilds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are free but do not get any commercial support or consulting services from Red Hat and lack any software, hardware or security certifications. Also, the rebuilds do not get access to Red Hat services like Red Hat Network.

I'm a GIMP user myself
Damnit... :P
Given the amount of time it has taken for the Gimp to become a strong competitor to Photoshop...
Are you from the future? I'm a GIMP myself, but come on...

But, Slashdot, can we please stop accepting "fuck off" as acceptable debate discourse? And then cheerfully modding it up?
You must be new here.

If this were true, I would be very interested in seeing it. Swapping a V8 into any Honda would require a ton of custom work.
Ideally of course, the carbon would be locked into oil and other fossil fuels deep inside the earth where it can't harm anyone.
You do know that carbon-containing molecules are the basis of all life on earth, right?
I tire of the unscientific hyperbole that seems to be increasingly associated with environmentalism.

it's quite possible to make use of the social functions provided by Facebook without "fully exposing your private life".
Facebook works very hard every day to close that loophole.
Look at all the retroactive TOS changes. Each one has taken away more and more privacy... it's not hard to see what the end goal is.
Actually, this subject has its own article and I should have linked to that:

You made me think of this picture. XD
In fact, I can't think of a single profession where you're exempt from a law simply because you are a member of that profession.
Really? Let's start with an easy one: politicians.
Mice keyboards have fingerprints
This is why you'll never see a rodent owned keyboard commiting a crime without wearing Mickey Mouse gloves!
I also registered it that way. :)
However the consequences of stupidity are very often bullshit laws we are all subjected to
FTFY.
Excellent video! I would have smashed my controller within 5 minutes of trying to play that game... O_o
Normal guy: How much do you think that chick weighs?
Slashdot guy: How much do you think that satellite weighs?
Sounds about right.
I actually worked on a friend's new Win 7 HP laptop, and I was a bit surprised to see that it came with Flash, Java, and Adobe Reader installed OOTB.
We have comments blaming McAfee from Windows users and comments making fun of AV software in general from other OS users.
Where are you seeing comments blaming Microsoft?

On a related note - why do HUMANS think they need to defend GOD?
Because they see themselves as weak and in need of defense, and they cannot help but project their self image onto God.
God is not a weakling. He has no need of defense because He cannot be attacked.

Upstream bandwidth is in shorter supply than downstream bandwidth.
No, that's just the bullshit ISPs want you to believe. They have exactly as much upload bandwidth as download bandwidth.
