To me, "selling" made it pretty clear what the story was about.
Right. But the implied outrage attempts to link this guy with some shlub music sharer.
Could you refer to the phrase that implies the connection with a shlub music sharer. The title clearly does not. How much more clear can it be when it says "selling"
Actually, make that, you had just lost a war with your neighbor, and you had to concede a strategically significant piece of land you had under your control. Now your neighbor starts testing nuclear weapons.
Pakistan as a state has had decent relations with Israel forever. Just because there are some lonnies in Pakistan that would like to see Israel disappear doesnt mean Pakistan does not work well with Israel. Hell Pakistan even acquired radars from Israel. There have been times when their relations were very very cordial.
Europe was also unstable for a long time too, in the past. Rest of Asia too. It doesnt mean the present conflicts and overthrowing of governments are not being orchestrated by the west.
Your neighbor who you just had war with, just started testing nuclear explosions. You would be silly and stupid to not do the same. If it comes to war, why is far fetched to imagine China nuking India? The only deterrent is India having nuclear weapons, and keeping the ability to retaliate in kind. Now that India has it, we would never know if China would have nuked non-nuclear India when it comes to war between them (which would eventually have to happen at some point of time in the future, may be decades/centuries away, but it still has to happen).
And what use would population and military be, when you have weapon that is many many more times powerful that the only your enemy has. You can simply shock you enemy into submission. You seriously cannot see the power imbalance in would have created?
I am not sure if you can really split up a word like that. But in answer to your question, fox is known for in cunningness (it is the same as the west).
Yeah, the rounded corners patent is what prevented Foxconn from simply selling iPhone clones. The rounded corners also helped the smart phone market become better, as no one before or after thought of using rounded corner without Apple telling them the world about it using their patents. Yeah, the patent system is not broken at all.
It is possible, that they should be thankful for the folks keeping this datacenter up. This one might have even been powering Red Cross's (or your favorite disaster recovery organization's) website or their communication systems. You never know how important the datacenter turned out to be.
The problem is not about copying other's work. But copying other's work and claiming it as your own and even preventing every one else from adopting it. Even apple fanbois can recognize the hypocrisy.
A lot of slashdot people seem to leave their brains at the door when it comes to Apple. Just really irrational hatred going on.
Touche. s/hated/fanboism/
Google was already dumbing down their Map app on the iPhone before Apple got into the mapping business. They wanted to charge for "turn by turn" -- which makes business sense for Google. However -- it's a big feature for people with smart phones, so Apple had to do something.
Google was dumbing down? Just be happy that Google even allowed Apple to use any of their Maps data, let alone Navigation data. Google got nothing in return for the data. No ads, no ad revenue, no fresh data, nothing, zilch. And then Apple wanted turn-by-turn navigation. Google wanted more prominent display of their name, and inclusion of Google Latitude. Apple refused. Google then offered it for a fee. Apple refused and went crying to their fanbois.
Just from a business standpoint, why would Apple let someone do the "Microsoft thing" to them again? MS had a sub-par Office app experience on the Mac and Apple had to beg for that.
Apple probably will approve the Google App -- but only after they've established their own a bit more. Having users become dependent on an app that is a strategic trojan horse for the competitor is never a smart move. They've spent billions acquiring and developing their own mapping solution and it's REALLY UNLIKELY they'll even break even on that investment.
It is not good business to degrade your main cash cow by showing down an inferior experience on your users, either. But what do I know, I am just an irrational slashdotter.
If any competitor makes the major app and features on your platform -- you become vulnerable.
I think a lot of these comments about Apple -- on so many topics, ignore normal business practices. It's as if they invented Lawsuits, using Chinese manufacturing plants, and defensive policies towards major competitors. Grow up Slashdot, and stop talking like the ignoramuses you like to make fun of.
Actually, they pretty much did invent it. Grow up fanbois.
Er, my point is that the old school robbing methods are still useful. Only that you have a better list of houses. The wardriving will really narrow down the list of houses. Now you can throws bricks into each of houses, and do whatever you would have done before. This just makes the old process, more efficient.
None of these can be automated. I can cover entire cities using this setup, and driving at regular speed limit. I can pick targets better. I can find cluster of people not at home, and rob them at the same. I can use Operations Research to calculate the best loot possible.
I meant taking snapshots during the day. You can remember the last reading pretty easily. Just drive at the speed limit, capture all the reading. You could cover entire cities using these.
I agree there should be focus on how to get these candidates elected. But these debates are not entirely useless. There are people who are not satisfied with R & D, and are looking for alternatives. These debates do help these people (how ever small percentage of the population they are), to choose their right candidate.

If I had mod points, I would give it to you!

Who sells pirated movies on non-industrial scale? Do you know any one who does? To me, "selling" made it pretty clear what the story was about.
So slow, that you could hardly see them crawl.

I have to agree with sibling, well played, good sir!
It was still named by a chinese speaker though. If Fox was evil in chinese folklore, no way would they have named it foxconn.

I hope the fire codes were improved. Unions do seem to be pointless in this particular case though.
Was just about to post this. Instead, I would say, give the parent some mod points.
Not everyone, only the ones that produce round wheels.

Are you referring to 419 scams? I am not sure I understand what you meant about stealing money from people, banks & corporations.
Well put, sir!

Now you can throws bricks into each of houses, and do whatever you would have done before. This just makes the old process, more efficient.
The reliable methods are used after wardriving then, in a targetted way. The reliable methods are very often time consuming.
