Read the parent that you're responding to! His point is that Apple is applying these terms to people AFTER they have bought the phone. It's an automatic opt-in unless you want to go to a lot of effort to sit outside Apple's walled garden, at which point you lose a big proportion of the value of the phone that you have already paid for.
For new customers, sure it's opt-in/opt-out, buy Apple or not. But if you do, don't be surprised at the next swift one that Apple pulls.
Australia's not censored. Yet. All the debate has been about a trial scheme that was implemented voluntarily by a number of ISPs and a proposed bill that hasn't been introduced into parliament yet. To get the bill to pass the government will need the support in the Senate of either the Opposition (possible), or the Greens and misc others (not going to happen, the Greens are opposed to it).
Like when Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, lay people get upset when the limited amount of science that they have been taught changes. I suspect it is because the media trumpets the claims of science as established fact. Most non-scientists aren't aware of the way the scientific method revisits previous conclusions and is open to the possibility of overturning them.
The biblical view of the creation of man has him being created from the dust of the earth. So he is part of nature.
Back on topic, maybe man is nature's way of creating more accurate timing devices?;)
From the www.ubuntu.com front page: "Ubuntu will always be free of charge, along with its regular enterprise releases and security updates." Plus, as another poster noted, the beauty of open source means that you can fork (see CentOS).
It doesn't remove an attack vector. But it does replace an attack vector that is practically universal and can only be updated by one proprietary vendor (Adobe) with one that has a series of different implementations and (at least with open-source implementations) can be updated by anyone.
As genetic diversity increases a species' resistance to disease, digital diversity increases our resistance to malware.
Only 4.5 years. Seems like a lot longer! But just be glad that it wasn't DRMmed to the point where... whoops, we're shutting the servers down after five years, but look, you can buy Civilization 5 now! By contrast, Firaxis did a good thing by removing the CD-check from the final patch of Civ 4.

He's dead, Jim.
Also, how would researchers realize that [Apple Mac Glyph] isn't an integral part of our "ancient moon runes" if seen from their era? :)
They'd probably see it as having some sort of religious significance. And they'd be correct.

Not just rent...
There are ads on Slashdot?
Scratch that... there are ads on the Internet?
Just today in Australia it has been reported that a bank's staff has been spying on its customers through a fake Facebook profile.
So how do you say "I, for one, welcome our bovine overlords" in German? ;-)
Heil Heifer!
All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

you corrected "expert" but decided that "pubic" should remain? ;)
I though the joke was Q: "What are the bumps on the areolae for?"

I am a Christian and am opposed to this filter. In fact, many Christians are arguing AGAINST this legislation because we have potentially unpopular views which could be silenced through future use of this scheme: http://solapanel.org/article/conroys_internet_filter_full_of_contradictions/

If only there were some way of combining two or more 32-bit numbers together to form a 64-bit or greater number. This is a solved problem.
"Ann Arbor" and "Milton Keynes" are often credited as authors.

Down with cosmic censorship!
Looks like a DDOS on the justice system.
If only /. were populated by people using a minority operating system that had comprehensive package managers to take care of their updates.

Oh how I love it when a thread wanders off the stated topic and the poster's Oedipus complex appears...
Thus solving the problem ONCE AND FOR ALL!
If common sense reigned, the sound card - without which you could not listen to the MP3s.
If only common sense were more... common.
