    Have you ever used a hotel wifi? When you login, they can use that to as your "agreement" to use the proxy as well. Did you read the draft? They can set it up such that if you disagree, you are stuck in limbo hell.

    Bull-fucking-shit. There's no critical "core functionality" in windows 98 that couldn't have been done in a standard browser. CHM files? That's just a compressed html file that Microsoft chose to use, instead of straight html. Everything else is the same way.

    Wrong. Bill Gates lied under oath and claimed that IE cannot be removed from Windows.

    Some professor wrote a small utility that removed IE, and Windows continued working.

    When NT first came out, someone took a look at NTFS on the disk, and said it looked very very much like VMS fs.

    If you have touched VMS at all, things like how ACLs are implemented and so on would look very familiar to you as well

    You have no clue what you are talking about. The "legally required" shit is already being done. There's no need to do any IETF crap.

    This is for ISPs to do it to you, without you being able to prevent it.

    You don't understand how things work, do you? This bypasses your "acceptance" requirement.

    They can just do it transparently.

    You realize that open FTP servers used to be the norm? You realize that the RFC itself requires PORT to be open so that you can do a bounce attack?

    And yet, tablets as capable as the ipad for much cheaper abound. The iPad is still expensive.

    Sure. There're $49 tablets. So what? They don't have the performance of the A7 chip. When you are talking about comparable performance, the tablets all cost about the same. But iOS has additional advantages. It comes with hardware encryption. Only Samsung S4 and other "SAFE" rated Androids have it. It comes with 2-3 years of updates. Things that have value. Funny how fandroids all just ignore that.

    And yet, the CEO of BlackBerry didn't exactly understand the cost of things, as the iphone was not the first touch-screen handheld.

    So? Fact is, that was what Blackberries used to sell for. That's what my Palms used to sell for.

    And yet, Razer has created something more powerful than the MBP for less than the equivalently specced MBP. Also, Microsoft has released a piece of hardware specced like the Air, but with a high resolution display and a touchscreen, for less than the Air.

    So, no.

    This thing? http://www.newegg.com/Product/... at 6.58lbs, what are you smoking, to compare it to the MB Air? Hell, it's even heavier than my MacBook Retina.

    When the iPad, the biggest surprise was the $499 price tag, no one thought it could be done at that price.

    When the iPhone was introduced, the CEO of Blackberry claimed it was faked, it couldn't be done at that price, or any price.

    And for years now, you couldn't build a MacBook pro equivalent (same or very similar parts) for less than what Apple sells.

    So, Apple doesn't sell cheap stuff, but they do make it price competitive.

    GPL never objected to charging for software. For the longest time, you could have bought everything the GNU foundation put out, on tape, for $495.

    GNU/Stallman had also publicly stated that you can charge for software. You just have to provide the source code to the recipient as well. And not stop them from providing the source code to others.
