Apple is so power-trip stupid it isn't even funny.
Yeah, it's just devastating their bottom line.. I give them another year at most..
Just maybe Apple's working a different market that doesn't include most of the complainers here.. Jobs even stated something to that effect, specifically mentioning the Android.. Giving us ample opportunity to simply ignore Apple.. should it ever stop monopolizing the front page of Slashdot:-)
Call it collateral damage in the fight against corruption.. Perfectly acceptable using the same standards as the government does... Regardless what the law says, uncovering a corruption is a duty. Exactly the same as any citizen who witnesses a crime. He is expected to come forward. And please save the "through proper channels" crap... That will usually get the honest guy punished. Since the US entered these wars under false pretenses, I'm for whatever it takes to get them out now. Any and all moral high ground is long gone.
But then you just stepped around my point and got all pissed about being called an idiot.
No, I merely see it as attempt to dismiss the thought without giving it any and that your assertion is the final authority. Basically a cop out..
If you want a specific, fine. Only military strategies and tactics during actual wartime should be kept secret. No closed door meetings on any domestic or economic issues. It shouldn't take an FOIA request to get answers. "No comment" is unacceptable.. Failure to comply will only produce more wikileaks sites.
And only an idiot would say the Government should not have anything that is kept secret.
The government's authority comes from the consent of the people. Those people have every right to investigate every single aspect of that government. No secrets are allowed when abuse is suspected and needs to be uncovered and corrected. This whole "Big Brother is watching" thing can work both ways. That pleases me. Feel free to call me an idiot if that's the only way you can defend your point.
As your monopoly service provider with very low data limit caps, I plan on profiting very handsomely, by making you pay to receive lots and lots of ads..
Maintaining balance over shared resources is the reason governments exist!
There are those who are trying to use the constitution to put into place extreme property rights. To them there are no shared or common resources, much less rights of access..
...Molotov Cocktail throwing, window smashing, car burning lunatics...
are all okay if the state is doing it...
Producing a little chaos and discord among the diplomatic corps of many nations is only giving a little taste of what they do to us on an everyday basis
All these leaks might make a little more difficult to start a war on false pretenses.. And it could prevent corrupt financiers/future government employees from trashing the economy on every election cycle.
I think the issue here is that the world is full of ex-officials with the "wisdom of the sages", but they showed none of that when they had the power to do something about it.
No, no, no, leave it wide open, and use it as a honey pot. And then we vote out the crooks who get caught taking the money. That's the way it's supposed to work. Closing one loophole just opens another. It's the old squeezing the balloon thing. Now if we can't use our brains and ignore the bling, then maybe we just aren't ready for majority rule.. We shouldn't try to cripple the system.. First off, you don't have anybody in office to properly rewrite the rules. If we did vote in such people, then we just proved we don't need to rewrite anything.
The bathroom stall is the scene of much corporate espionage (you know, where you see the guy inserting or removing the capsule containing the microfilm, looking at it, then getting knocked on the head by a guy wearing the black ski mask), it is a legitimate surveillance target.. well, in Hollywood anyway

It's a very nice garden...
I had never heard of Uwe Boll until he started his lawsuit campaign.
Exactly :-)

Third world doesn't buy cute...
You would hope...

Autorun and USB sticks are much more dangerous than the internet.. Sure wish they had real write protection..
Yeah, it would be written by the IRS. One sentence:
"This is a stickup!"

The mafia can bring order and structure also..

Isn't SCO going to buy Novell?
Should I be concerned?

Could've been worse
How many galaxies are there in the Milky Way?
Sounds like a catchy new name for BP
Seeing as how they're fucking the rest of us, they are now part of the mile down club,
Well here's hoping the earth doesn't share my final century.. I hardly expect to see the next one.. I almost hope I don't.. but chin up and all that
They should be... and we should nail the people who sell their votes. Prison isn't necessary, just vote them out..
Can we finally close this legal loophole?
No, no, no, leave it wide open, and use it as a honey pot. And then we vote out the crooks who get caught taking the money. That's the way it's supposed to work.
