One generation does not have the right to determine availability forever.
Anything else the article says is also trash. Who the hell determines that a given generation may or not use a resource as it sees fit? This is the most ridiculous concept I've heard in ages. Do we have to preserve the last few atoms of helium so that all future generations will have some? At some point you're going to run out of something. Deal with it.
People who talk like that should be killed and used as fertilizer so we can save a few ounces of oil for future generations.
Given that the Muslim "holy" sites in Israel were invented for purely political reasons AND placed on the Jews' most holy site, my sympathy is utterly non-existent. Islam is a horrible religion, based on the equally horrible Christianity of its time. Unlike Christianity, however, it's gotten worse, not better.
Jews invaded British lands, who had in turn invaded Turkish lands. There was never a state of Palestine, other than the state of Israel which the Romans renamed after they conquered a sovereign nation.
Jews lived on that land before Islam existed. There is no way to reasonably claim that the land is holier to Muslims than it is to Jews. To Jews, there is NO holier place in the entire Universe, never mind on Earth. The Muslims invented their holy places in Israel when some emperor or another wanted more influence in the region. This is documented fact.
There has never been a sovereign Arabic/Islamic nation state in the area currently occupied by Israel. Semites of all kinds (are there more than Arabs and Jews?) have lived in the area for millenia. It is ridiculous to claim that "Palestinians" have a better claim to a state in that geographic location than Jews. It's also documented historical fact that Jews DID have a sovereign nation state in the area in their history.
All the posturing today is based on Antisemitism and a generation of losers in a war that occurred over 60 years ago that won't accept defeat. It has nothing to do with actual religion, nor with historical claims. Modern nations across the globe stole land and killed natives in the millions to get that land. Israel may be no different, but it should not be vilified any more so than the US, France, Spain, Britain, Russia, China, India, Persia (oops, Iran), etc. are.
You're on a forum full of Linux-lovers who will swear up and down that it's superior to Windows in every way imaginable. Reason and sense is not something you should expect. Masochism is.
It's probably because you A) have never used one for more than 2 seconds, and B) are not the target market.
It's not really surprising that someone for whom the product is not designed will not find it appealing. It's also not surprising that a stupid asshole would post on slashdot to show the world that he has no understanding of people at all.
It's a product that lives up to its marketing claims, and it does it well. I guess expecting your typical Apple hater to understand that is a bit over the top.
I have yet to find a site that Mobile Safari renders poorly. The video specs are just fine, given its physical dimensions. It's perfectly expandable in any way that matters for a PORTABLE device. The touch interface is fine for hours at a time.
And somehow this "obsolete" device has or will soon outsell every single device like it that has ever been produced. Only NEWER products have a chance at beating it.
You are an ignorant hick that gets off on hating Apple for being successful. You are truly pathetic.
Are you a hypocrite, or just a complete and utter shithead? On one hand, you advocate for a free market, and on the other you claim suffering is a sign of something wrong.
Actually, you're a fucking piece of shit asshole. The idea of "Survival of the Fittest" is just that -- an idea. It's not a Universal Law or Truth. Humans are no less subject to evolution than any other living organism. As a species, our laws and regulations have gotten us to the point that there are over 6 billion of us and we are the dominant species, able to survive in a wider variety of climates than any other.
The idea that deregulation would have a positive affect to our species is ridiculous. You should follow your own advice and kill yourself off.
The thing with Fujitsu is, they are stil around, so obviously they still had money after any other creditors were paid off. Of course, they didn't declare bankruptcy either, so I'm not sure what the relevance is.
If you know C and understand basic OOP, neither Java nor Objective C is harder to learn than the other. I suppose if you learned Java first, unlearning all the bad parts of the language might make Objective C seem harder.
Why should anyone feel sorry for him? Even Gates has no reason, and he's certainly not going to be jealous. The guy stole. He was fired. There's no reason to emphasize. On the other hand, there's good reason to be jealous of someone who can commit a crime and come out ahead by several million dollars.
How exactly do I suffer from knowing that it's possible that the entire (population of) Earth may some day be wiped out? I could die tomorrow from any number of causes, both natural and accidental. It cannot possibly bother me after I am dead that everyone else is too.
I'm not sure if you consider this consumer level, but I have a Comcast business line (cheapest package) to my house and I use voipo(.com) for VOIP service. Quality is always excellent.

If they didn't have it before, they weren't burning any oil to produce it, now were they?
Critical thinking. It's not for slashdotters anymore!
You know less about Judaism than you know about Islam.
Apparently you also started at 1. In other words, you're an illiterate piece of shit. Please die.

If stoning like that goes on here, it's being done by the same kind of people -- Muslims who do not value life.
Relative to Java, GW-Basic is God.

I'm guessing you're a complete and utter moron. And my guess is correct.
Those complaining are complaining about the games performing better ON THE SAME Mac running Windows.

Posted this from my iPad in about a minute. Slashdot has always worked fine for me.

Yeah, I guess a shit-head like the GP would find a fart app to be a basic requirement.
Like most idiots, the Anonymous Cow-turd you're debating with has dragged you to his level and is beating you with experience.
People who hate usually do so irrationally. This shit-head's hatred for Apple is no different.
If you know C and understand basic OOP, neither Java nor Objective C is harder to learn than the other. I suppose if you learned Java first, unlearning all the bad parts of the language might make Objective C seem harder.
In 2001 (XP's release), you couldn't do that on Linux either. Both Vista and Windows 7 support these features.
