How can you expect them to be Linux-friendly, when they can't even accomplish being simple enough to be used by John Doe (as in, more than the most basic functions such as ON/OFF, CH up/down, SOUND +/-) without the help of a 100-pages user guide?
Being Linux-friendly would more likely make them even more user-unfriendly.
And how exactly can they still be *Japanese" cars if being manufactured in the US? it's like saying the Apple laptops are American even though they are Made in China.
Your argument is flawed: imagine if if everyone quit their jobs and became factory workers. Or software developers. Got my point now?
The traders are market facilitators. Since the market itself is not perfect, nor the facilitators are. When the cost of the facilitators imperfections will deviate far enough from the "standard" market imperfections then the market will fix the situation. And when I'm saying "the market" I am not using the libertarian term, but as an equivalent of "the sum of all stakeholders", which includes regulating authorities up to the Congress and the government.
To say the traders have no useful role is paramount of saying the malls have no useful role. They both facilitate trade by specializing.
The e-mail author (and most comments here on Slashdot) assumed his e-mail was private correspondence (which is usually the case in French and EU law). However, the e-mail to the MPs is *not* private, since what MPs do, read, communicate is by default public (thus making bribery, unlawful conduct and other potential crimes and misdemeanors at least harder to hide).
Thus being said, it is clear the MP in cause was not guilty of anything when she redirected the e-mail message to the author of HADOPI law, i.e. the French Ministry of Culture.
The Ministry of Culture sough to find out why somebody from the TF1, on of the biggest pushers for HADOPI, would push his MP in a different direction than the company he's working for (it's a legitimate question; imagine if a GM welder *publicly* asks for the foreclosure of GM - in such situation there would be nothing wrong for the TARP guys to ask GM what's going on).
Until here I see no evil.
Now, TF1 is not selling bricks or clothes. It's selling cultural products and opinions (plus news). Therefore, having a dissenting opinion to the corporate one, in a business of selling opinions & cultural products, clearly incensed TF1 management. On this case, I say they were right.
BUT, based on their anger, TF1 decided to terminate the employment of this guy. That's something I can't agree, yet in my opinion they should be allowed to do it.
Now, before being chopped off by the liberal wing of/. (i.e., 99%), let me point it's all a non-issue. In France NOBODY can be fired (not until they do something so terrible it makes news in Afghanistan or Somalia, anyway). Therefore this guy will certainly keep his job at TF1.
One last thing: the original author mentioned in his "private" e-mail that he's working at TF1 (that's how they were able to finally trace him down). It seems to me he was ready to add his job as a weight to his e-mail, yet when the weight went against himself he was pissed. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Hurricane, if you really believe such antics can get you anywhere why don't you try it in places like Kishinev nowadays? You'll be very surprised how little effect such games can have with a determined police.
Yes, I got it that you were referring to an American police officer. Well, let's think of another scenario: they think you're a terrorist. Or a terrorist nerd, helping with Flight Sim. Or something along this line. It could be plausible for them to insist against your little game, isn't it?
And the biggest thing? I've been running it, attached to the internet, for two years without having an anti-virus program installed, and NO ISSUES. I don't think I could do that with XP for even a single day.
I fully confirm that. I'm also getting into HIS computer attached to the internet, and yes, it's without an anti-virus.
Wonderful! Then there isn't a single sovereign nation outside of the US - not a single nation could actually stand up to the force the US can project...

And yes, until today I had NO ISSUES :-)
The summary picked out the worst of the comments and highlighted them, obviously to cast Apple laptops in a bad light.
Is that you, Steve?
That explains BOTH sights (on matte and glossy screen)
Microsoft does porn, to???
The post is misleading. The article is talking about a COMPUTER virus, which is not the same as a virus.
Everybody likes to play the ultimate geek now and then, but let's not forget the proper use of the word "virus" is only about living organisms.
but for a sound designer, this 2 gig limit per app/~3.5 max feels more and more like 640 kb all over again.
You are more than right. Imagine that I am actually working with 1080p 4:2:2 uncompressed video...
So now it's official: kdawson is the new katz!
Anchors, Trawlers, Sharks, Earthquakes, Landslides, Fault lines, Currents, Waves, Extreme weather, Ice bergs (not in the middle east though I'd hope!).
Many other human activities can be responsible too of course (sinking ships, cargo/litter being dumped off ships etc.)
Dick Cheney, is that you?
I think all apple really needs to do is listen to the people
But they are! I mean... Steve Jobs *IS* people, right?
Someone get a plumber, quick!
Let's call Joe the Plumber ;-)

"After the death of Stalin there was no new conquests, no new territories"
(In no particular order)
Cuba
Nicaragua
Chile
Angola
Mozambique
Vietnam
Indonesia
There are others, fro sure, but these just popped up in my head as I was reading your uninformed post.
The Communist attack against the free world was a constant after Stalin's death, not an exception.
