Not to mention the fact that what does or doesn't fall under the ITAR umbrella is open to interpretation and changes almost daily. Shit, I remember when Xenix implementations that had the crypt() routine in libc.a were not allowed to leave the country.
Try Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner -- read him A.A. Milne, with individual voices for Piglet, Pooh and all the others. You'll both have a ball. Keep him as far away from Walt Disney's insipid versions as you can.
Well, my mother-in-law, who was in the Hitler youth, and served out most of the (second, world) war as an (German, military) air traffic controller, and my father-in-law, who was in the Luftwaffe, and spent most of the war in an Allied prisoner-of-war camp; (they met in the US in the early 50's) both tell hysterical first-person stories about how hard they laughed when JFK announced he was a jelly doughnut; if YOU know better than THEY do, I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Or not. Twit.
If I had a nickel for every time I've inserted code (especially the "I've got the data in my hand, why don't I save it somewhere" kind) "without direction from management" that I ABSOLUTELY KNEW was useful and/or going to be asked for as soon as they thought of it anyways; well, let's just say I could have retired early. Call me a "rogue".
Unfortunately, here in the States, we have First past the post or "winner take all" voting, which simply means that the person/party who gets the most (NOT (necessarily) a majority, simply the MOST) votes - wins. Essentially, a vote for any candidate other than the second place finisher is a vote for the winner. As a recent historical example, Ralph Nader cost Al Gore the election in 2000. See also Duverger's law, which says that first-past-the-post systems are guaranteed (over time) to become two-party systems. Of course, the alternative is multiple parties and coalition governments, which many other nation's governments are living examples of how well and smoothly that system works, too.
When it comes right down to it, humanity has yet to invent the ideal system of government.
CEOs don't care about "cutting corners dangerously", causing potential problems in some nebulous "future", they only care about this quarters stock price. By the time problems develop from their shortsightedness, it will be Someone Else's Problem.

Well, it's not the first smoke screen we've seen from Apple...
It's called seeing it from their perspective. Just because you characterize it as "anti-US propaganda" doesn't mean it isn't valid.
Maybe you should pull your head out of your "USA! USA! USA!" chanting ass, and turn off Faux News for a while.
But the real question is: were you just provoked, or attacked?

Yeah, using laser pointers is a good idea, but what do you do when the cats jump on your data?
Definitely Cannabis indica, Cannabis sativa just isn't as mellow.

There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!
Well, while you're ignoring it, the politicians will be citing it for why we more and tougher IP legislation, both at home and abroad.
Sure, if you don't mind letting the terrorists win.
Not to mention the politicians who are "keeping us safe".
So what are the established units for radiation? Godzillas per century?
640 lifeboat seats should be enough for anyone.
I seem to recall that the Titanic I had state-of-the-art 20th Century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems. Just sayin'.

Turns out you're wrong. Not just a little, not even a lot, but COMPLETELY, 100%, totally wrong. JFK (literally) said: "I am a jelly doughnut".

Replying to my own post after dreaming up an even better use whilst dozing off: data input gloves.
I wonder if moving the actuator produces (or modifies) a current. Might make an interesting nano-sized surface gauge.
This is exactly I am unable to leave the basement. The frame-rates "outside" literally make my brain hurt.
If only it were that easy...

GP is riffing on Romney's famous "corporations are people, too" quote.
Why don't you call HP's (or Dell, or AT&T) support hotline and ask them?

I think the preferred term is "graphically challenged".
Yeah. It's only beyond the pale when the Repubs are on the receiving end.
