Apple is like Augustus Gloop, who ended up losing because he was incredibly gluttonous and enjoyed stuffing his face beyond what one could think humanly possible.
I use TextSecure by Whisper Systems for text messaging. It's currently in beta, but secure sessions are easy to set up, and the whole application, in general, is working out quite well for me. Better than the stock messaging application in CyanogenMod, at least.
I find this interesting because history shows that new machinery which helps cut (labor) costs almost always displaces human labor in the long run.
But, even if it is only for a short term, I would love an office robot that could fetch me a new pot of coffee every hour, until it learns how to do my job.
"That is not the situation that his friends and family were hoping for, however."
No offense, but too fucking bad. Considering the state of our legal system, the guy was lucky to not get boned for the full four crimes he was initially charged with (which would have been a lot longer than just a year, by the way). He committed a crime, one that I personally feel has far-reaching effects as one's e-mail inbox should be considered fairly private. Yes, it was Sarah Palin, and I can't stand her either. Doesn't mean that this guy shouldn't be held accountable for his actions.
"The US Bureau of Prisons, however, has decided to make Mr Kernell serve out his term in the low-security prison camp nearly 300 miles from his home in Knoxville, Tennessee."
Seriously guys, when you're incarcerated, you don't have a choice which facility you will be housed in. The USBOP is obviously making an example out of this guy, and I can totally understand why. What I don't understand is why this article seems to be doing a lot of crying on behalf of Kernell. Don't commit the crime if you're going to whine all the way to prison. It's that simple.
Sorry, but I think a one-way trip to Mars is too good of a thing for some people in prison. I wouldn't exactly want convicted murderers in the 1st colony on Mars, would you?
Pharmacy's are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. The locations where cannabis is dispensed usually are, too, but the locations where it's grown ARE NOT and probably shouldn't be for that reason alone.
Banks usually have security guards either on payroll or contracted out. And they do this out of necessity, as they have normal individuals frequently stopping in to cash checks, deposit money, etc. On the other hand, these locations where cannabis is grown are not typically open to the public eye, one way or another, and shouldn't be forced into employing armed security personnel simply because their locations are no longer private.
Although Google is large, and does stand to get some bad publicity from this whole situation, it's not fair to lump them in with the same group of corporations responsible for bribing congressmen over automative safety, health problems related to tobacco, or nuclear power plant contamination.
If the iOS App Store has been evidence of anything, this isn't necessarily a good thing. The App Store will obviously garnish lots of attention, and will likely be the primary sales point for most Mac software within a few years. The problem I see is that the more use this App Store sees, the less power developers will have, as more and more people use the Mac App Store for their primary software needs. I would also be worried about the possibility of Apple closing off software sales outside of the App Store, which has been the primary policy regarding iOS applications since it's initial release.
There is a large difference between the available bandwidth a cable company has, and that of a cell company which transmits the majority of it's data wirelessly via satellites/cell towers.
Comcast can afford a 250GB limit, and probably much more. The same cannot be said for most, if not all, cell companies.

The /. masses, though..
Don't test the masses, especially the ones that know what they're doing.

I wouldn't suggest downloading any NBC-related torrents on Comcast.. because you know they'll be watching.
And, for the record, I don't condone illegal torrents, but I would merely like to point out the large privacy concern this merger presents.
If it didn't, that would be great encouragement to find a faster, cheaper manufacturing method.
Please make it easier to report/flag spammer accounts. That is all.
Site overloaded? I wonder why that is.. :P
If this really matters at all, besides being slightly cool, it will just lead to more bad db design.

You need a warrant to do things like that (in the U.S.)...right?
No, better-at-it-than-you!
But how about that oil?
I call bullshit. We should all know the marketing definition of "unlimited" by now.

$ sudo make sandwitch
sandwich: target not found
Was pretty funny until I realized you typed it in by hand. Too bad you misspelled sandwich.. ;)
/etc/sudoers will handle a majority of those "simple operations" that require root.
