You can buy machine tools readily and fairly inexpensively (especially compared to a good 3d printer) on the second-hand market. There is no license required to machine things, no license required to own lathes and mills, and you can produce anything with those tools that you can with a 3D printer. It simply takes a little more skill.
If you think Apple's going to fight your legal battles for you, you're smoking crack. That's a completely standard license statement -- if you use a tool to infringe on someone's copyrights, you're responsible, not the maker of the tool.
It's all in the SDK and the polish that Apple offers and Google doesn't. Android's GUI development tools and stock widgets are absolutely horrid.
I'll stick with Android anyway, on the off chance Google will ever get around to fixing it. That's where they need to put their money -- not in developing more apps. Make the platform inviting to develop for, and the developers will come.
Yes, I'm telling you why she resigned. That's what you keep saying you don't know. Of course, you're the only one on the planet who doesn't, but hey -- I'm here as a public service.
The "Tea Party" didn't cost the republicans anything -- Reid's seat was never going GOP, as he won it with election fraud. I live here.
O'Donnell didn't lose because of the "Tea Party", she lost because of idiot old-guard republicans who couldn't stomach the thought of a young conservative in office. They removed all funding when she won the primary, and then ridiculed and mocked her continually on the public stage -- Karl Rove is the reason she lost, not the "Tea Party".
Clinton should have resigned. He cost this country a great deal by wasting millions of dollars of taxpayer money for his defense, and completely ignoring his job for years -- guess what? Palin didn't have that option. She was paying her own legal bills, out of her own pocket, and she had the integrity to stand down when it didn't make sense to stay.
If you're an Alaskan, which I doubt, and you don't know which ethics laws the liberals abused to file baseless complaint after baseless complaint against her, I'd recommend you learn a bit about your own state's laws. It's the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act, which everybody who pays even the tiniest bit of attention to politics (which you obviously don't, considering you quote huffington post and msnbc to me as authorities on the subject) knows.
You've been told already why she resigned. She didn't resign to make money, she resigned because the leftist liberals were abusing the Alaskan ethics laws to put her so far into financial debt and tie her hands in her job that there was no way for her to stay.
The other reason she resigned was so that she could put a public face on the conservative movement, and she did that very successfully in the 2010 elections.
Also, Sean Parnell was sworn in on the same day she resigned, so I'm not really sure what you're trying to say -- she didn't resign the day she gave her speech (July 3d), she resigned about 3 weeks later, on July 26th, the same day Parnell was sworn in to replace her.
And you continue to ignore that she was cleared of all wrongdoing, *after* the article you posted was published.
And let's just quote the huffington post blog you linked, since you obviously were hoping I wouldn't click on the link (of course I already know the score, you're just headline hunting on a subject you're completely ignorant about):
State Personnel Board investigator Timothy Petumenos said the Alaska Fund Trust inappropriately used the word "official" on its website, wrongly implying that it was endorsed by Palin in her role as governor.
But Petumenos also found that Palin – the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee – acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful and complied with the Alaska Executive Branch Act.
She didn't authorize it, didn't endorse it, and didn't take any money from it. Someone else set it up.
She resigned because the multitude of unfounded investigations against her were costing the state money, costing her money, and taking her time away from running the state. She's said as much on multiple occasions, including in her book. She was 600k+ in debt to her lawyers, and the unfounded investigations, abusing Alaska's ethics laws, kept piling up.
We've seen this movie before. If Jobs were to leave, and not be replaced by someone with the single-minded focus on the user experience that he has inculcated into the company, Apple would fail. Just like they almost did the last time he left.
She's thoroughly explained it, on more than one occasion. Whether you agree with what she did or not is up to you, but don't lie about what she's said.
Military law requires the offender to be brought to trial within 120 days of the preferral of charges or the beginning of confinement. In a case like this, it's likely that he waived that in order for his defense lawyers to build a more effective defense.
It's how military brigs are run. The time prisoners spend in their cell is not for their amusement. The hour outside his cell each day is the time he's allowed for exercise.
Right to a speedy trial absolutely exists in military law, it's covered under rule 707 in the MCM. However, it's obvious he's waived it in order for his lawyers to have time to put together a defense.
He's in solitary in order to keep him alive. Stark reality, if he were in general population, he would be killed by the other prisoners.
As to the other allegations, it's a military brig. Brigs are run very strictly, and it's done for a reason. To an outsider unfamiliar with it, it may appear harsh -- but nobody's being deprived of due process. Remember, he's not a civilian. The UCMJ and the SECNAV instruction that govern how Naval brigs are run, are, I'm certain, being followed to the letter.

Why would you replace a Unix server with a Linux server?

There are a whole lot of people who disagree with you. NT was VMS, reimplemented.
NT actually traces its roots to VMS, not OS/2...

You assume something is being shredded.
Oh come on. That's flamebait and you know it -- he got sent to jail for illegally accessing an email account.
Good.

You know why she did it, right?

Not really a student of history, are you?

He's in pre-trial confinement, his living conditions are exactly what every military prisoner's living conditions are, and he's not being tortured.
Minimum security would end up with him being killed by the other inmates.

Due Process? How, pray tell, has he been deprived of due process? He's in pre-trial confinement, awaiting his GCM.
Ah, thanks. I see what he was trying to say now, and I share your opinion of it.
The difference, of course, is that I'm not trolling.
You obviously are. Have a nice life.
At least you admit what you are.
You've done nothing to refute my initial premise -- guns don't kill people, people kill people. Being afraid of an object is absurd.
