    Sorry, but if it was caricatures of disabled people or soldiers or killed in Afghanistan,

    Do you think you would be afraid for your life if you drew these things in a Danish newspaper?

    Christians that follow the rules by the book

    Define this please. I find that Christians who claim to follow "the book" are in fact, not following "the book." I find that the MORE they claim to follow the book, the less they actually are.

    It's a strength in numbers thing. The religious freaks have a more difficult time attacking 100,000 people who offend them, than 2 people that offend them.

    Every closed device Apple has ever created hasn't met with any significant success for the first 20 years.

    This movie looks really good. That scene with the dragon snatching the baby-dragonthing and the connection between the baby and girl is amazing.

    Pity it will only be a short film.

    Disagree, people who bought early PCs back in the 70s 80s were predisposed too as well.

    I expect sales of tablets (not necessarily iPuds) to rise dramatically.

  21. Re:haha on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 1

    your netbook cannot render movie quality 3d animation or compile the linux kernel given reasonable time constraints. While yes, your netbook is technically able to perform these tasks, it will take so long to do these things on your netbook that we can safely say that your *netbook is limited*.

    I personally really like the ergonomics of tablet devices, I think they are superior to netbooks this way.

    As far as cost, I was talking about the US/Canada, I too think that 2.5x cost is ridiculous. I didn't know Apple was so greedy in the UK.

  22. Re:Freedom from Porn on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the opposite of communism. To me communism would share the porn, and porn would be created by the government to ensure the employment of pornographers and fair pricing on beat off material.

    Of course, government porn would be bad porn, because the actors would get paid regardless of good performances (such is the way of governments). Actors would be hired not based on looks, but instead of bureaucratic nepotism (4" cocks, saggy breasts, and liver spots for all our comrades!), but it would be available to all. (similar to the Lada).

  23. Re:Ah, yes; "freedom from." on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 1

    freedom from slavery

    Another cliche. The "from slavery" words are pointless towards the definition you are describing.

    You should really *think* about the words you type rather than parrot what you hear on TV.

    This is a nonsensical argument. You have the right to liberty, freedom of speech, etc. That doesn't mean those rights can't be infringed. Are you saying that the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are meaningless because it is physically possible to violate those laws?

    You really do have a basic comprehension problem dont you?

    There is a difference between freedom of speech *which grants you the ability to say what you want-it additionally grants speech to the list of freedoms you already enjoy* vs freedom from being murdered *which is just a retards way of defining "security of person"* Freedom is different from security... just because you heard some moron on the news (or maybe it was a moron with the initials of GW) call security a freedom doesn't make it so. Freedom is different from security, you can have one without (either the former or the later) the other.

    Freedom from government censorship is a silly way of saying "freedom of speech." If you hear anyone ever speak the words "freedom from government censorship" ask them "do you mean free speech, because if you do, just say free speech."

    You're completely missing the point.

    Im not missing the point at all, I understand the point you are trying to state, and it's incorrect. the point *I* am making is that your verbiage and general use of language is based on parroting nonsensical statements you hear on TV. The GGGP is explaining that the term "freedom from" is BS. There is no such thing as a negative freedom (a "freedom from"), you cannot take away something and expect a higher degree of freedom. you can only grant freedom by addition (saying Positive freedom is another useless statement as the word positive is redundant).

    I am hereby granting you the freedom from being a moron.

    I dont mean to be condescending (ok yes i do) but do you know many people who have to take loans to get $500? Maybe you should tell them to GET A JOB YOU BUM.

    And seriously... the iPad is $500, a netbook (which is also limited) is $400.

    I think plenty of people will pay the extra $100 for the ergonomics of the iPad.

    Im not speaking for myself... I'm far too much of a techie for an iPad... but the normals will enjoy it.
