Crawled on his knees and begged forgiveness from our Federal Overlords. A heft campaign Contribution to the current Lord and Master probably would not have hurt either.
1. The product was not defective. 2. No harm was done that I have read. 3. No, the banks were not prosecuted, which makes this even more egregious. 4. He didn't make a mistake.
This is the out of control Feds doing what they do best, punish people who are creative and trying to get ahead. It is about control.
Manager: Are those changes going to be ready by Monday? Specialists: We don't think so. We still want to test more. Manager: Did it pass the unit tests? Specialists: Yes, but we still are not comfortable enough to go to production. It needs more testing. Manager: You guys are just overly cautious. Put it in. Specialists:ummmm... Giant System Crash Manager: Dammit! Why didn't you test??? Yer Fired!
Isn't this good? I mean, it's shutting down power generation and stopping the siphoning of water away from it's natural course. This has to be considered a complete Win by the environmental movement.
What is the medical test for gender identity problems? Is it in the blood? Can you X-Ray it? Nope.
It's psychiatric.
Regardless, we should not be spending hundreds of thousands on a guy in prison for 35 years to correct a so-called condition that does not affect his health one iota.
There has been court fights over stuff like this. A few have won I think. You can be sure that some nutcase judge will call it a "human right". and order it be done.

And, especially appropriate for the subject of the article:
“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order.

Steve would have torn the whole team new assholes and then fired them for the POS that is iTunes today.
When the marketing weenies take charge, the company is doomed. All they know is a stupid check list of what's supposed to be cool and competitor's features.
A picture is not an idea. It is not abstract. It is a unique expression that is the result of the ability and knowledge of the person taking it. Do you have any idea how many years of his life Mr. Adams spent in the wilderness and how many pictures he took to get the ones that he became famous for? Do you have any clue as the amount of scientific knowledge he had to accumulate related to light, lenses, film and print media?
You don't think he should be rewarded by that? You think people should be able to rip him off and profit from his efforts

Keep yer training wheels on girlie. You got a long way to go.
RTFM. Sold for 13+, when the definition of "Child" changed, they raised it to 14.

Every now and then the Luddites reveal their true intentions.
Is that like ManBearPig?

Soon, there will be two kinds of nerds: Those on SR9009 and those they beat up.
I'm sure CYC would make a good go of it. This is what it was built for.
And...Twitter being the sole domain of the Narcissists, I don't think it is anywhere near a representative sample of the voting population.
Not really...Marketing Weenies are the ones doing surveys, focus groups, product placement studies, etc. It's all mechanics.
I don't know what you would call the discipline that combines creativity, function, form, leadership, inspiration, etc.
Fine. He didn't say it. Does it really matter?
And really? You are going to cite Wikipedia when making assertions of spurious quotations?
Regardless, see if you can argue against the essential truth of that quote.

Except you folks ate the whole thing and asked for seconds.
Chicago is pretty much like the violent Kenya these days.
And no, that's not a comment on the populations skin tone, but rather the propensity to kill each other.

I have seen this on the Interweb.
How is it possible that the First Post didn't reference Skynet?
Slashdot is not what it used to be.
was to see the 'raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy.'"
I suspect he will see that in spades when the warden announces Lights Out.
