FreeNAS also comes with rsync, making it easy to do regular differential backups from almost any platform. I use rsync on FreeNAS and QtdSync with my Windows 7 machine to do nightly backups. It works automatically (and fast) so I don't have to worry about the safety of my user files in case my main hard drive fails completely.
Does Apple sell these books on their own behalf on the App Store? I think it's possible that someone else put this up as their own work, and Apple just trusted them or accidentally let it slip through the review process.
If it had been Apple or any other giant corporation who had been wronged, the victor of the case would be clear. I hope this guy wins his case and shows them that individuals have the same rights as giant organizations.
I heard something like that listening to it on a car radio tuned to an NPR station. Sounded like a delayed feedback loop of the alert with amplified noise.
There's a difference between optical media and hard drives. I have a external DVD-RW drive that will scratch the optical disks like the Xbox if it is moved while running.
If I buy a refrigerator at the same big box retailer, I can expect it to work pretty well the same from the day I buy it until the day I stop using it. However Windows is in no way the same. You pay for Windows and you have to continually update it to keep it working the same as the day you bought it, otherwise you quickly end up with a compromised system that does not work as well as the day you bought it. And being as the consumer had no choice in the OS on their PC, they should not be exclusively responsible for the problems in that PC.
The difference between a computer and a refrigerator is that a refrigerator doesn't get to talk to its buddies on the phone. Windows needs no security patches if you don't use networking and are careful with any files you bring onto the system from outside sources.
I think the difference here is that we can trust Warden and VAC because they have a legitimate reason to scan things (to prevent cheating). If companies are so concerned about security, why don't they just place protection on their end? A home user isn't going to have any more advanced methods of virus-scanning than they will.

What about a VPN connection to another state? And if that works, would it become illegal?
Mod parent up.

Just off the top of my head, I'd say 32 digits of pi, but I'm probably wrong.
