Oops -- I forgot to make my main point -- I'm not blindly sticking to a bad choice. In fact, just the opposite: I've moved to a better platform for my needs. It just happens to have been discontinued several years ago.
I love my Newton. I use it daily. I began using it last September. Before that, I had a Palm III, a Palm V, and an SPH-I300. This month, I tried going back to the SPH-I300, due to its greater portability, but it's just not the same. I realized that while I had convenient syncing with iCal and the Mac address book, I not once referred to the calendar on the device or used the to-do list. I would always wait and use it on my Mac. Once I went back to the Newton, I was doing those tasks daily.
More than the Palm, it's a genuine personal digital assistant. The note taking is powerful (handwriting that works) and the flexible control and mastery over the data in the device hasn't been matched.
It has its problems (TCP/IP slowness, dying backlights, five year old LCD screens), but five years later, it's still better than everything that's happened since.

Yea, but we were buying. That's not really enough of an argument to be worth it.
Besides the fact that you're wrong (which I may explain later when I have more time), your response has nothing to do with my post. My post is about an evolution of the expression of ideology, not differences among ideologies. In fact, that Stalinism can be a result of an evolution of Leninism presupposes that they have substantially similar aspects.
You're quite right. It's one of my favorite effects. For the most interesting (IMO) example of the second generation taking and perverting/overextending/overpurifying the ideals of the creators, read "Darkness at Noon" by Arthur Koestler. It's a novel by a disillusioned former Communist. The evolution of the USSR from Lenin, through the '20s, to Stalinism is spellbinding.
Close. It was a wacky Amiga-people idea (that failed like the rest) to put an Amiga on a coprocessor card for PCs and sell it to people who didn't know better. It happened around 1997, and IIRC, it was never released.
I'm gay. I think his sig is hilarious. I've always thought it was hilarious. I'm a big time Liberal. I think the problem with a dimension of modern liberalism is that people have lost their senses of humor and respond poorly to things that are legitimately funny.
Just avoid the SPH I300

I bet the percentage of BMW owners who own Macs is a lot higher than the average of the other car companies. Hell, how many people call the Mac the BMW of computers?
Well, he provided two arguments that by your logic behave according to opposite rules (moral indignation vs. no moral indignation.) You've ignored the point (drug use) that works and have harped on the one that you claim doesn't. I think you might lose.
How much do you want to bet that there are going to be a lot of suits against MS if Timeline starts suing the end users? It seems like MS is going to be civilly liable for some sort of misrepresentation of their product.
And your usage is wrong. It's the BIOS's code and Charles's transvestite brother. When the letter preceeding the 's' is a vowel, you can safely use your method. Other than that, 's for you!
Right here in Chapter II. The very first rule of elementary usage in The Elements of Style (my favorite book in the whole wide world.)
Then you should call it Lindows or Debian or RedHat. Linux contributes a small amount of functionality, so does GNU. It takes a distribution to sew them all up together. My operating system is based on Mach, uses BSD and GNU tools. And I call it Mac OS X.
Linux knocked over my mailbox yesterday. Then it went out and sold my cousin an underpowered machine. Damned Linux! I wish it wouldn't go and do things that a kernel isn't supposed to be able to do.

Same buttons and wheels but a Ford isn't a GM. Just because there's no proper noun doesn't mean that the children are indistinct.

And it looks like hell. I just don't know how people can abide gecko-based browsers. They're just as ugly as sin.

What a mess!
I'd agree with your points if you didn't use the word "get's."

Hehe. You're so cute. Laying a undefended argument on top of an assumed commonality is no way to make a bed or a point.

Becaue lots of really smart people can't be relied upon to notice that this new proposal will have most of the same problems what we have nowadays?
Well played, my good man.
