Apple really isn't fighting its users, as a group. It's just fighting security holes that could allow malware, found by a small minority of users who hack their iPhones and who unfortunately rely on these holes to run their home-made software [...]
And we call them malware. They're intelligent and resist detection, but they aren't working for us (well, most of us at least). Anyway, I'd rather have "intelligent" software agents that DO WHAT I TELL THEM and don't try to be clever, because then my computer ceases to be a tool that I can reliably manipulate.
Theft is an appropriate term when the resource is limited, as in this case where only one person can have control over the domain. Alternately, a key aspect of theft is that the victim will know it occurred when he attempts to use the resource in question.
Not that I religiously dislike Windows, but if you can run Linux on it, it puts a whole new spin on being able to remotely ssh to your robot and issue the "kill" command
Not to fear, Windows provides an automatic version of this feature where you don't even need to log in to have processes randomly killed.
Hell, I was expecting it to play music by modulating power usage of the chip via what kind of instructions are executed, causing changes in the switching power supply noise.
Nope, C actually makes the overflow behavior for signed integers undefined. So blame God OS for putting efficiency ahead of security by not using a checked add instruction.
I still have emails and RTF documents written in 1994. These are 100% perfect copies of the original data. Is that somehow to be interpreted by brain-dead fear-mongers that any day now my data will be "obsolete" since the obviously 15-year old media is almost degraded beyond recognition?
Obviously, they'd say that you've spent $208,569*13 years = $2,711,397 on preservation.
The key advantage of digital is that you can make exact copies, regardless of content). Surely this alone reduces the cost compared to anything entirely analog. And "loss" due to being in an unknown file format is at least possible to solve without losing any data. Obviously I didn't RTFA, so perhaps the format they use results in insanely huge files.
Funny, I've been using a permament workaround since way before these were discovered: don't install Flash. As a bonus, you get notified with a blank screen when vising a website with no useful content, so you don't waste any time trying to figure out how the hell to navigate it.
You see, the RIAA could focus their efforts on developing innovative ways to market music. What if they could come up with something even more convenient and irresistible to millions of consumers than Apple's iTunes store? [...] But, you see, they fell into the trap of thinking that lawyers and litigation could solve their problems.
I blame it all on the listeners. They should be the ones learning to like what the RIAA so graciously offers. They should know how hard it is for huge organizations to change. Really, the music industry shouldn't have had to go beyond vinyl records, but they were generous and gave us audio tapes and compact discs, all great advances in technology. And now the listeners won't accept the newest advances in digital technology that allow even fewer uses than previous formats. Lawyers are the only option they have left to make us like what they offer.
Actually, it doesn't. 640K begins at 655360, which is greater than 640516. If you meant metric K, then yeah, but that wasn't in use back when that was supposedly said.
Yes, a real meeting in a virtual environment, like in the clouds or under water. To contrast, in a game like The Sims, you might have virtual businesspeople having virtual meetings; none of it is real, even though the person watching/interacting with the game might base decisions on what happens in the game. If only politicians had a clear grasp on fantasy and reality when it came to video games with virtual violence in them, as the player simply pressed buttons...
OK, so people are driving too closely and over-respond when the car in front of them slows down. Sure, it seems like things must be slower when you come to an almost stop, but does this result in an overall reduction in flow, or just an temporary reduction (as following distance is increased) that is compensated for by an increase afterwards (as the previous too-close following distance is resumed)?

Corrected that for you.

Yes but what if something were to happen to the original article and comments? Everyone should post their thoughts here too!
The iMac flat-panel has the best damn adjustment I've used. Too bad they eliminated it on later models.

Oh come on, Windows doesn't crash that often!

Err, wrong thread, sorry.

How do you know it's not Steve Dobbs or Steve Cobb? Plus, it could be anyone just signing their name Steve.

So if you solve it, you prove to them that you will jump through pointless artifical hoops? No thanks; I'd rather solve real problems.

Because the part that makes this a dream only is the reasonable price.
Hmmm, what color is that exactly?

Yeah, but flying without windows is kind of hard.
I'd rather listen to (non-vocal) music and have my own thoughts than constantly have garbage talk radio in my ear all day.
