Ah, you see, our immediate future is a bunch of ridiculous names. I'm sure Apple will branch out into new fields with something like an iDild, (Dynamic Infrared light detector) or iWipe (Software for cleaning off Apple products).
By the time we're older they'll have merged more products into one, making for even more ridiculous products, like an iCack, Communicator and commonc Kaleidoscope.

"It houses a powerful Intel processor and can support any 802.11b wireless LAN infrastructure"
802.11b? B?
This thing was probably made last decade, and Fujitsu wanted to patent the name THEN. And - like you said, some random Acme Inc probably already had the name patented so that BOTH of them don't have it.
Unless of course this Acme Inc is the proxy company that Apple uses. In which case, sorry Fujitsu, welcome to the American USPTO,
They verified my Visa a long time ago - and its easier to remember my email address and a password than it is to try and find my card to enter the numbers online.
I was under the impression my ISP was giving me a public IP Address - and thats what I was paying for. I am of course behind my own NAT Table on my Personal Router.
Not only is that more expensive (train tickets aren't cheap where I'm from, not sure how it is in Europe) -
Regardless, it sends the message that its okay to run away from Germany because the States will protect you. All you need is some BS story about home schooling. Pick up that Orphan while you're on the train.
I mean the US is granting that its Political Asylum for this family because they didn't want their kids to go to school in Germany, they prefered home schooling, is basically what it boils down to. So the opposite of it would be extraditing, sending them back to Germany to pay for their crimes, this is the States way of saying: We will protect you if you flee Germany because you want to want to home school your children.
Now - I don't know what to think about all this. In one hand, I think Germany is its own sovereign nation and it should be allowed to run its country how it sees fits, however I also think that if people don't like the way the country is run they should be able to leave. So is this the best course of action? I mean the black and white of it is to send them Back to Germany - or to roll in with the tanks and reform the country (a popular choice lately). So this kind of lands in a semi-grey area which should make me happy.
But somehow I see this opening a whole new can of worms. Now Germany is going to restrict people flying to the U.S. - based on facts about children and schooling, and likewise, people might run away to the US claiming they are doing it for their children as opposed to some ulterior motive (other more heineous crimes).
When was the last time you had to pay the cops for a stolen wallet or purse that belonged to you?
Very clever. I mean only those foolish enough to fall for the first scam could possibly be foolish enough to fall for that line. "John" clearly knows his target audience.
They might put up some defenses for military systems, but they wouldn't be monitoring it. They're job is to conduct Cyber Warfare.
How often do you see the -Military- performing investigations on US Soil?
War and espionage are on a blurry line but you can rest assured the Armed forces are in it for the War. The FBI will do domestic cases and the CIA Will try to keep up to date on wold cyber affairs.
On the other hand, Hollywood gets to put Lithium Air batteries into Pintos, creating an awesome thrill ride that will garner at least 4 stars by any reputable movie review site.
I got a little riled up, I'll admit, issues with the room mate lately.
I have nothing against those who hold religious views, as I sort of fall into that category, but it upsets me when they discredit science in the name of religion.
What I mean is, there are some very factual principles upon which our technology is derived. These same principles are fundamental throughout the observed universe, and we have used those principles to determine a fossil was created 65 million years ago. If you choose not to believe those fossils were created by a dead animal, than you should not be part of the club that firmly believes so. Everyone on Slashdot (Being News for Nerds) is of a scientific or technical inclination. To claim to be scientific and then refute reproducable scientific evidence is ridiculous, and should be treated as such.
If you think all life ended when the dinosaurs went extinct, you'd be a fool. Otherwise, how would we have come around?
Our (alleged) evolutionary ancestors are considered just as extinct as the dinosaurs. Homo habilis for example. Don't think this is an ape, this was a smart species that built stone and bone tools. While Gorillas have shown to use bones and stones as tools, they have not yet constructed their own, like this species has.
If you firmly believe that fossils are here to test our faith, turn in your geek card and leave the tech sites. Computer sciences won't gain noteriety as a science with those types hanging around.
Your attempt at arrogance fails because thats not how Apple fanboys operate. They simply promote the product in the same way: They gush over how marvelous it is and how its "Revolutionary" or "Game-Changing" before the product is even released, and simply must buy it as soon as its available.
So, I will safely deny it. I do not want whatever Tablet Apple is producing. It may have a niche market and may be profitable, but until I see it do something my current devices cannot (Desktop, Laptop, and Smartphone) then I see no need to spend money.

Let's restructure everything to be "IPinfinite"...
We will never, ever, ever, EVER, run out of Address space.
Then why would it be necessary for the US to grant Political Asylum to this family?

I guess you could go catch a virus thats exclusive to Jailbroken iPhones. Would that make you feel better?

Doesn't that theoretically nail you down to somewhere within 252 ish machines? (Assuming IPv4).
The first 3 octets seem like they could be enough to personally identify you based on your DNS Search records.

4chan is not your personal army.

This is some nice light reading.

This is why I thought of Post its. Look at the very bottom of the page.
Canary Yellow...
You mean they had post its back then?
Yeah exactly. The amout of evidence that say birds are dinosaurs is overwhelming.
I personally though, have not met anyone who argues against it.
With the recent popularity of the books and movies, I'd say we have entered the Twilight Zone.
Thats why things are so messed up.
Wait a second, are you insinuating that is NOT the correct title?
Its dependant on your sample size.
Unless someone can make an as-yet unknown value proposition for going back to the moon, it's a waste of resources.
Well, what was the reason for doing it in the first place? Why not do it because we can?
