We have a couple file servers running Small Business Server and a couple that were running Samba. The SBSs required no administration. We turned them on and they just kept trucking. Our samba box would have random drop outs where it would deny access unless you restarted the file server.
Funny, that sounds more like my experience with AD. Are you sure you actually did this? Samba version please, and more background information than the nebulous sounding "random dropouts... deny access". This is the sort of patter I would expect from a troll. Surely you realized that without credible details, you would likely be regarded as a troll?
Not only that, but the text color is light gray, a low contrast with the background. This is the sort of game cigarette companies used to play with cancer wanrings before the courts made it clear that such games would cost them dearly.
Look, Thug Apple using cigarette company tactics. Who woulda thinkit?
By the way, do you like to post fallacies intentionally or do you just not understand logic? "20% of of iPhone users are almost always overdrawn" does not imply that "~80% of iPhone users' bank accounts are usually in the black".
The energy density of a lithium-ion battery is currently about 1/6th that of gasoline and this improvement will take it up to nearly 1/3rd. But of course, gasoline isn't recharable. And the energy density of gasoline is highly unlikely to improve further, while batteries certainly will. So it is no exaggeration to say that this development basically seals the deal for electricity vs gasoline. My next car will most certainly be all electric, and it will be a beast.
From a purely profit POV, this might very well be Apple's most successful product, ever.
Only if the lame specs don't kill the Christmas market. Granted, this will likely be the most successful Apple product ever at driving away customers after they compare their new overpriced toy to the Nexus tablet everybody else got and learn the truth.
I saw that fundamental problem with the military. They wanted security, but they wanted their shiny Windows.
And now that Windows isn't shiny any more they have neither. I can't say I feel a terribly large amount of sympathy, though I do worry about the day a Windows virus sets off a nuke. Let me see, if Windows turns Vladivostok into a smoking hole in the ground should Microsoft be held liable?
Definitely drag it out, no question about that. Keep that willful infringement sword dangling over Apple's stock price. Apple might just get what it wished for.
With an operations guy in charge, what do you expect? It's roughly equivalent to Microsoft being run by a sales guy. If you want a great show, you need a show man. Steve Jobs for example. If you want a great engineering organization you need an engineer in charge. Larry Page for example. With an operations guy in charge or any other kind of paper pusher, Apple is doomed to a long slow slide into technological irrelevance. Which is fine by me. I wish Tim Cook a long but not terribly happy career riding Apple down as close as possible to the ground.
The judge would have done well to not leave this is the hands of Apple's legal and marketing teams, and instead sit down with somebody with half a clue about editing an HTML page, get to the result he believes to be fair, get back to Apple with that, and barring any valid complaints from their side, order them to make it just so.
Notwithstanding the fact that Apple arguably deserves to be treated that way, it is hard to fault the judge for providing Apple enough rope to hang itself. Is this yet another case of "but Tim didn't know"?
I really hope Apple flips the finger to the UK judiciary again, It's entertaining to watch them get smacked. How many billions did Microsoft pay out for similar behavior? Hmm, and they still haven't learned apparently.
If only the American judiciary exhibited this level of integrity.

Given Apple's rather obvious contempt for the rule of law, I'm wondering if Lucy Koh actually got some money for running her lopsided courtroom.

If.
You never let the opportunity to lie for Apple's advantage go past you. I have to admire your tenacity, yet loathe your dishonesty.
I always feel like I got something on me after seeing a BasilBrush post.
Looks to me like Apple is complying and the Court of Appeal isn't too fussed in general.
Ha ha, you Apple apologists really break me up. Here's what really happened.
UK judges have more leeway if anything. I'm looking forward to Monday.

Hey, sorry about that. Just because you've been an idiot all this time doesn't mean it will last forever.
Don't be patronizing with me dude.
Ooh, touched a nerve. What is it, do you feel like an spineless idiot for using Windows? Because you should.
By the way, do you like to post fallacies intentionally or do you just not understand logic? "20% of of iPhone users are almost always overdrawn" does not imply that "~80% of iPhone users' bank accounts are usually in the black".
It must be groovy to live life with Apple glasses on.
Companies will reduce the size of the battery two thirds and still charge the same amount of money for it.
You mean, Apple will. The real world will obey the laws of economics.
And last time I checked, silicon doesn't burn merrily like graphite does.
6) Resisting catching fire and exploding
This one gives me the sense it will be rapidly commercialized.
Excuse me... "will take it up to nearly one half".
Letting your sarcasm go whoosh for a moment...

Apparently, being overdrawn at the bank didn't stop them either.
now now, apple has shown it's more than capable of doing business without Google.
Look at the wonderful maps they came up with!
Next, Apple needs to round out its application suite by adding a search engine that only returns irrelevant results.
