What's the problem with iTunes from a usability stand point?
I've done the non-iPod media player thing. It sucks. Organizing music is a pain in the ass unless you're so completely anal retentive that you have music sorted by artist then symlinked according to album, year, genre, etc. All of that stuff is in the mp3 meta data anyway, why should I have to manually sort it? For that matter, why should the media player have to reindex the second there's a change made? My CPU and disk are faster than the one in my iPod! just build the index through itunes and send the metadata and mp3s to the player.
Doesn't this go to show that the profit motive isn't always a great thing when it comes to goods and services and that some things should be handled by the Government?
BTW, the USPS's infrastructure is constitutionally mandated. Article 1 Section 8 mandates Post Offices and Post Roads. It would be like complaining that Black Water can't compete against the US Marines when it comes to the business of sacking a country full of brown people who never really hated us.

If you've patented the method, then your invention is covered under patent laws. Copyright has nothing to do with it.
Further more, if it's patented, then it's already available to the public through the USPTO. Given how many of these things that simply do not work, and rely on breaking the laws of physics, that are out there, searching through the USPTO's records is probably worse than searching for a needle in a haystack.
If you have an infinitely efficient machine then you're going to break the laws of physics. Have you even built one of these and have one in use?
What about the problem where in HHO takes more energy to create than it expunges? It's pretty simple physics. The electrolysis process to generate HHO requires something like ~280 Joules per mole and HHO only produces something like ~240 joules per mole. It's been a while, but when you also factor in friction in the cylinder, inefficiencies in heat, etc, it gets worse.
As I learned from WinMo 4, WinMo 5, and various phones in between.
Device freedom isn't all that's cracked up to be. No matter how open or free my old WinMo devices were, they paled in comparison in terms of usability and stability(even *with* all of the Safari and random app crashes) to my iPhone.
Not having a computer forced me to buy one, considering how necessary one is to even keep up these days.
I was considering best quality for price, this included OS. Had I bought a cheapass Windows machine, it'd still come with Windows. Had I bought a mac, it would come with a real OS.
It wasn't relevant. Why I made the switch and what ultimately forced me into it are two different things.
Show me once where I said it was for THAT? Thanks...
Yea, lol, U can blow THAT much ca$h, or this 4 free:
I had the choice of either blowing 500 dollars on a OEM Windows machine that would utterly suck or 500 bucks on a unix workstation that's roughly the size of a plate of toast. Granted the graphics chip on it sucks but that's why i own a ps3.
I'd hate to break this to you, but when I made the switch, my PC had died. Dead HDD, dead motherboard, dead PSU, and possibly dead RAM. Your guide is not a guide to necromancing dead PC hardware for free or even cheap. It's how to harden a crapware OS.
NOW - the day that MacOS X can run as many softwares for as many purposes as Windows does, as well as MacOS X being able to run as many hardwares for varieties of purposes? THEN, then the Apple folks have something to cheer about - but, that day's not here now, & hasn't been for the existence of the Mac! AND THE DAY MacOS X can be shown to keep a high tpm stock exchange up & running into the "fabled 5-9's" as Windows Server has for 5 yrs. now running stable/secure & F A S T? Then, maybe, I'll listen to b.s. like the above...... apk
OSX *can* pull five nines. it's only on windows where five nines of reliability are fabled.
Actually, the day I left the windows world was when I came home from work, found that there was a lovely little love letter from the OS, "Disk not found." Disk shit itself due to motherboard failure. I needed a new motherboard, a new HD, a new PSU(Voltages were a little funny when I went to check whether or not the board failed because I bought the cheapest PSU I could find), and other various pieces of new hardware.
Instead, I bought a Mac Mini. $500 bucks. Came with XCode too. My crappy choices in hardware wasn't what pushed me to buy a Mac. I knew that I chose the cheapest parts on the market, and I got what I paid for. I knew I was going to buy an OEM machine instead of build a new one because I now really don't have the care to choose good parts, choose good suppliers and build the whole thing. When I considered new hardware I also considered a new OS. Sun puts out a Solaris box for under a grand and that was tempting, but the Mini was simply cheaper and had *much* better app support.
It's got security issues galore in it's time too
yes, because Linux boxes are more likely to run stuff like ssh services, web services, ftp services, so on and so forth. That's where the security failures are.
& other hassles (sound system coding Adobe said, for instance, is a nightmare & recently, ext4 caused file damage/losses & still does if a coder doesn't alter his coding (how many can be reached for that @ once etc. et al) for filesystem usages, forcing wholesale rebuilds of any app that talks to the system possibly (not all, but most do though for MANY things)... printer support, & usb problems are others I have heard over time, as well as the "this runs on Windows but not Linux" variety (Gigabyte IRAM, anyone, as a SINGLE example with many more I could put out?))
The fact is, unless you're running something that opens ports and leaves you waiting to accept packets from somewhere, you're safe. Period. Your browser is always a vector for infection, but nothing you can(Other than regular patching) do can really stop a compromised browser from performing a privilege escalation then doing whatever the fuck it wants. I chose Mac OS X because that's a little bit more difficult than under Windows(well, one of the many reasons; Windows *sucks* and *NIX variants really don't have the app support I want; Linux is pretty damn close though, but between various window managers, Xfree, X.org, etc, usability sucks compared to OSX).
No amount of hardening is going to change the fact that UAC is a complete joke when it comes to system security, or that DirectX is a hopeless kludge or that the networking stack completely sucks.
Also, a Windows Server license for 2003 and 2008 is about a thousand dollars. A Leopard Server license costs something like 500 bucks. Who overspent now?
A straw man argument is an argument made when you make up some point about your opponent's argument and then accuse your opponent of taking a stand on that point. YOu made up the point that Macs cost over 3000, when you can buy a mac for under a grand.

How many joules of energy are used to break the water bonds?
What about the problem where in HHO takes more energy to create than it expunges? It's pretty simple physics. The electrolysis process to generate HHO requires something like ~280 Joules per mole and HHO only produces something like ~240 joules per mole.

Have these problems been solved?
This stuff doesn't work.
Why ahsn't this gone to mass production?

Some cheap keyboard maker should fuck with Emacs users and matrix ctrl alt and escape together so they don't work when any two are pressed in tandem.
What EXACTLY "forced you into it"?
Not having a computer forced me to buy one, considering how necessary one is to even keep up these days.
I was considering best quality for price, this included OS. Had I bought a cheapass Windows machine, it'd still come with Windows. Had I bought a mac, it would come with a real OS.
You would have said it many posts ago...
