Sure the RIAA might lose its Hillary Rosen (or other beloved long-time character that's quitting,) but she'll just come back in the sequel. The lesson: There's always another Hillary Rosen.
Of course it's something. How can you comprehend the universe if it's nothing? If you assign the concept of nothing to vacuum, you're one concept short when it comes time to conceive of lack of space (no medium for the establishment of nothing.)
I'd like to have the opportunity to throw away a Ford Focus. Sure it probably has all of the proper bullet points, but there are lots of very nice cars out there with the right price/feature ratio that actually have a _soul_!
Not the judicial system, the legislative branch of the federal government. The judges just interpret the dumb laws that Congress passes (the clever ones too, mind you.) If you're going to blame anyone for this (not that blame is necessary), blame Congress, as (if my recolloction is correct) the Constitution grants Congress the right to levy tariffs on incoming goods.
If my mac was in a beige box that had "the person holding this beige box is a loser" written all over it, but still worked exactly the way it works now, I'd use it over Windows installed on my PowerBook G4.
You mean the "works well, and is satisfying to use and brings me pleasure every time I sit down in front of it" market? (And I'm not talking about your sister.)
Excruciating detail can be helpful sometimes. I know I've read some really good writing that makes artful use of it.
It's the semi-poser wannabe writing that gets me. The use of familiar words in vaguely correct arrangements doesn't make good writing:
You gotta read your classics, bro. I've been catching up over the past six months or so, doing a lot of reading. Mostly free e-books from the Gutenberg Project. Descartes' "Meditations" are some heavy shiznit.
You need to get the AGP Dial. It's an AGP card with five AGP slots and a big dial. As you need to use the network or the monitor, you turn the dial to the correct card. Inconvient, but the data transfer is fast as hell.
News that claims to be unbiased is more dangerous than news that plainly states its motivations. I believe that no matter how hard someone tries (and I've seen it happen, watch C-SPAN some time. Their hosts do an amazing job trying to be evenhanded) he can not eradicate all of his preconceptions and viewpoint. Wouldn't you rather be aware of the news source's opinion and use that as a factor in the creation of your own opinion than be subtly (or not-so-subtly) poisoned by the bias of the reporting? (Think FOX news.)
Actually, people here are often rooting for the underdog. If you read a lot of the posts, you'll see people sticking up for Windows in the face of strong Linux bias. It's the same as people all of a sudden hating RedHat because they're big and fairly successful. There's an awful lot of both sentiments, and as someone who's been here since '98, it's really amusing to watch.
Well, yes. If you want to be particular, Graffiti was a replacement for the keyboard application as it's not possible using the publicly available NewtonOS APIs to replace the underlying HWR engine.
Full fledged HWR is feasible now. It was even feasible at the time of the MP2k in '96,'97. Graffiti is still nice to have, though, as it makes a better keyboard app than the keyboard app.
Newly developed? Inkwell has existed for a long, long time. It was Rosetta, the printed recognizer on the Newton before the Newton was killed in 1997.
Strangely, I don't see why Palm doesn't have prior art claims (those apply in patent cases, right?) Graffiti was released as an enhancement to supplement the initially bad HWR on the early Newtons. I think it was available in '93 or '94 (though I don't know for sure.) Strange.

Who ends up getting blown up in the end?

You wouldn't have gotten FP, but I couldn't resolve slashdot.org. Goddammed hippie databases being used for mission criticial applications.

Yes. It first appeared in 1998 with the iMac. What do you think the 'i' was for?
Or, alternatively, how about the trash? Reliably saving deleted files on your Mac since 1984.
Damn.

Yep, because when you adhere to the license, you're stealing.
Get over it.
Right. Everybody knows that it's actually VMS.
Who the heck told you that? To be Linux, it has to have the Linux kernel. Has the Linux kernel? Linux!
Bought a bus ticket without looking at the destination?

So was Gottlieb Daimler.

And get "Apple Product Specialist" Bubba the Wrench showing you the niceties of Apple's, um, product placement? Maybe if you distract the guards...
Ransom Love. A little more predictable, but with more sinister implications.
If you steal them, they don't cost anything.
