There isn't a bit of OSS-licensed software that Apple uses that they do not keep as open and for which the source to their changes is not available. And that even goes for software they own!
You are an ignorant piece of shit who deserves to die.
Upon installation, disclose to the user that additional programs are included and ensure there is a way to opt out of the installation of those other programs.
I have read that Vista will disable digital sound output under some conditions. It should not be up to MS to decide how sound may be output under any conditions, assuming the hardware allows for it.
Frankly, if MS had told the MPAA to F-off, the MPAA would back down. Like it or not, Windows is the home PC market. If Blu-ray won't play on a Windows machine, it's a dead format.
Cancer is a natural cause. And really, the insurance company prefers you die of old age, because that's the only cause that does not in and of itself cost them anything.
You can "lock up" a corporation by disallowing it to do any business that results in a profit.
Not that it's necessarily a good idea.
I think the best thing to do would be to simply identify the people responsible for the actual illegal activities and kill them. Or whatever is appropriate as punishment.
The idea of a (limited liability) corporation started to protect the private assets of the corporation owners. And that's where it should have ended.
When a CEO authorizes expenditures for illegal activities, the CEO shouldn't be absolved. Instead he should be charged with theft (of corporate money) on top of the illegal activity he authorized. The idea that he should go free instead is so completely backwards that it tells you who really runs things in this country.
I've been working at one of the first large corporations to roll out AD, with several thousand sites world-wide and AD has never crashed here. Ever. Zero downtime. Since launch 8 or 9 years ago.
The GPL stipulates that receivers of binaries compiled from GPL'd code must be able to receive the code from the distributor. This means that Edu4 owes the source to AFPA when they deliver the binaries. AFPA did not receive the source, so they sued for it.
If you pay for a car and it's not delivered in a reasonable time, wouldn't you sue?
You are an idiot of the first order, though, so I suspect that you would not sue. Nor will you understand any of the answers you've received.
No law requires taking people off the air due to what they say. That is done voluntarily by the broadcaster in question, because they don't want to lose their listeners or watchers.
If you really are as stupid as your posts indicate (and I know not all AC posts are from the same person), you need to swallow several gallons of gasoline and set yourself on fire.
No they don't. They simply refuse to accept that a non-iPod is an iPod. iTunes will happily sync with non-iPods, but only if these devices don't lie about what they are.

It's legitimate now to break contracts and to lie? Or would that only be bad if Apple did it?
I hope you die for being such an asshole.
There is nothing stopping Palm from writing their own software. Lying is not "competing". It's lying.

In other words: the user.

When writing laws that affect a nation of 300 million people, stupidity is malice.
Corporations do not care one whit for the shareholders. This is a gross misconception I see repeated here often.
"Corporations", this is: the Board of Directors, only cares about increasing the wealth of the Board of Directors.
Most shareholders have little or no say in what the corporation does, thanks to the invention of non-voting stock.

That won't stop malware. You are truly an idiot.
I think it's unrealistic to let such people live.
OK, I think it's merely unreasonable.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people can't seem to understand the difference in the two situations.
I've found, by and large, that most slashdot posters are drooling morons.
Seems to me you need your wife or child or mother to be killed by a texting driver.
Some people only gain sense after tragedy strikes.

Something tells me she won't notice.

And why would a blimp be immune to the delays you listed?
I'd think if you had magic, the first two would be the optional parts.

And any marginally intelligent person would understand why AFPA has standing.

Why is it so fucking hard for you assholes to understand that Apple is NOT taking a legal stance on this issue?
Apple doesn't want devices to lie. Palm wants to lie. This is fairly simple.
It's so discouraging to see that it's OK to lie as long as your lying to a company that you don't like.
If you really are as stupid as your posts indicate (and I know not all AC posts are from the same person), you need to swallow several gallons of gasoline and set yourself on fire.
You are an idiot.
Palm programmed the Pre to lie. How is this not morally reprehensible? Or do morals only apply to Apple because you don't like Apple?
Apple does not care if the Pre syncs through iTunes. They really, 100% DO NOT CARE.
Apple cares that non-iPods do not lie about being iPods. It's that simple. Even a slash-hole like you AUGHT to understand that.
No they don't. They simply refuse to accept that a non-iPod is an iPod. iTunes will happily sync with non-iPods, but only if these devices don't lie about what they are.
Why bring the DMCA into this? Apple hasn't sued Palm, nor have they brought in the law in any way. This is purely a technical fight between the two.
The Pre is lying and Apple is calling Palm on it. I fail to see how Apple is wrong.
And just because someone says MP3 or music and you hear "Apple" doesn't mean that Apple has any kind of (legally defined) monopoly.
In short, you're an idiot.
