    That's a good point. Apple, at least, does not make profit on each sale made. They charge a flat fee per year per app.

    At $99, yes. At $400, it had better have support. that's way to expensive to bin.

    You know that, and I know that. I strongly suspect the average school teacher does not.

    Depends on if the cop made the comments in an official capacity. As in, was he acting as a citizen or a police officer when he said it? If a citizen, yes those rights apply. As an officer of the law, he should not have made those comments because that is beyond his official capacity.

    The police officer should have contacted a member of the Fashion and Beauty Police for official comment on the photos.

    People have been arrested for doing stuff like that, even though their intent was not illegal.

    But the students didn't steal the laptops, they signed an agreement. Though I agree the school shouldn't be allowed to do that, the situation isn't entirely the same.

    This is slashdot. Generally if a sig is something really obviously stupid like that then it's meant as sarcasm. Generally. There are some stupid people on here.

    Personally I believe the same, but a lot of "hardcore" Christians like to think that they're the only ones who will get in.

    HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids. So there are a dozen different ways you can become infected, not just by the two you mentioned, though those are the most common.

    Heh, before I even got to the comments I thought "I know someone is gonna talk about how this makes it easier for privacy violations". Not to say that you're wrong though....

    I can understand why some people would think so (and why some code would be considered so), but I've seen perl code that is amazingly easy to understand and maintain (not my code :P, but someone else who used to work for the same company)

    You do realize that by reacting as strongly as you did you have basically painted yourself as a microsoft fanboy?

    At least in windows XP you can use the windows classic UI still.

    I used to read this and think "yes, yes they are right". Then I spent two years developing perl. Now I can't imagine a situation (a programming situation) that couldn't be improved by using regular expressions. I think Zawinski just didn't use regex that much.

    This is probably the most insightful thing I've read today. Too bad I've already spent my mod points.
