The reality is YMMV but I'll have you know that Apple use cheap Chinese Slave Trade battereis so I do believe grey market models are a little better all things considered... like the slavery bit.
European laws are vastly negated, overruled or ignored at the national and local levels. For example, it's technically illegal in the UK to put batteries in a normal bin, they have to go into chemical disposal along with the vast majority of other electrical items.
I've been her 21 years in 17 different houses from London, to Dorset on the southern border to Hebden Bridge in the countryside bordering Scotland (the North border) and have never seen or heard of a chemical disposal site, let alone used one.
No they are not. Your 'repair' consists of them removing your logic board and trashing it then putting in a new one. That is not a repair that is a new model but with them footing the bill and causes just as much harm to the planet as you throwing your unit in the bin minus the packaging.
Yes, and lose the ability to easily edit the file without ripping it, which then gives you the same problems as above; namely compatibility, formatting and lost data.
You do know that Open Office also made the ODF format as a fix to your proposed problem, and MS Office deliberately claims support but failes to load most of the ODF files properly, often citing errors on simple line breaks and metadata in the header of the ODF file that are actually part of the standard.
In other words, MS Office supports ODF in the same way Internet Explorer supported the internet.
So all you're saying there would be a Plan B for Ron Paul to attempt to get the website without paying for it like everyone else. That doesn't make sense. It's like saying Libertarianism is okay because if there was no Social Security then there would be some other kind of welfare tax system... errr... excuse me but Ron Paul was arguing against the principle not the entity in that case and was doing the same here. The UN would still do the same things if it was called the PINATA and anything that replaces it and it's systems just becomes a subset of it.
If your problem is not with it's rules then your problem is with it's conduct and that requires correction, not destruction.
By that definition Business, Government... hell Capitalism et. all is a Ponzi Scheme, but substitute money for value seeing as not all things are served as liquidity.
Apple integrating third party software into their core would be like Labi Siffre making a record with Skrillex. Apple's main marketing line is that everything they make 'just works' and that is based on the fact that the entirety of OS X is made in house aside from the FOSS bits. Apple couldn't FOSS the antivirus as that would just invite workarounds, cracks and attack vectors to be developed. Apple's style would be to buy a small nimble security company and re-purpose their tech, and I've seen zero security tech purchases so far.
Apple Open-Sourcing their antivirus would be like sending North Korea a complete library of blueprints on American military equipment because hackers would have access to the source code so they could see any flaws or holes that exist. Sure after a couple of battles/major viruses those holes would be patched going forward, and that's why AVs like ClamAV are so robust, but Apple has share prices to think about and one major outbreak is all it takes for that to nosedive.
Right now I suspect Apple don't even have heuristics (scanning of application files for bits of code that look malicious in order to catch new virii), they work on sigs, where Apple find a virus then update your list silently. Java is now being identified and blocked in a similar manner.
And what, do you think that if they are successful then the actors, singers and cameramen that created the material will receive some kind of windfall? No.
In my country, debt collection agencies pay your debt themselves to the people you owed so they can have the privilege of chasing you down and charging you extra for the hunt. Until MPAA publicly pays the media industry all these magic money figures it thinks pirates owe the 'content creators' (read shareholders) then it has no right to go and attempt to collect in my eyes.
Actually it is, and always has been like that. Facebook is in the market for targeted ads. If it knows where you live, it doesn't matter where it got the data, it's going to use it to profit.
Far far easier to do this actually. Aggregate your friends and friends' friendslist data and geolocate all of them, then keyword search your and their communications for your name and 'location data' be it absolute (London) or relative (down the road) when they know where everyone else lives it's not hard to work out where you must be. Lets not forget there are also Telephone directories, Census data, voting register and plenty of other data they readily have access to.
Not to mention your user agent, installed fonts and 'frequent access points' allow them to build a profile of you regardless of your location. Facebook knows tor exit nodes and still finds ways to identify between multiple users on the same node, that I know for sure.
And if you console sees some red rings you now lose all your games too.... great.
If not, then someone will quickly acquire the tools that the repair companies get sent out and start finding way s to clone and transfer licenses. I wish them luck.
Impossible. ClamAV uses Windows binary heuristics. Mac OSX would not be able to detect any viruses for itself with that but would detect Windows viruses, and I have tested first hand as to how well Mac OSX detects Windows viruses - it doesn't.
Does anyone here actually understand what they are reading. The government is NOT going to become the ISP. What it will do is build the infrastructure for high speed internet then become a tier 1 provider, leasing it's lines to many other companies.
What the FCC is asking is that the government fill in the blanks, blindspots, and weak datapaths in the American network.The problem is that the network cartel(, and believe me that is what it is due to price fixing) created a terribly slow, inefficient network and most of it would need to be gutted.
Encryption doesn't change anything. Apple made the operating system, the very thing you must give your password/hash to to decrypt the drive data in order to use it.
Now compare filesizes..... FLV is web optimized to be high CPU high compression media. Granted flash on Mac is terrible, but a comparison to Quicktime isn't really fair.
Try downloading that file and running it in Adobe Media Player... CPU use back down to 5-7%.... strange.
The whole thing IS NOT open source. If you pulled the FOSS parts of OS X out of OS X you would have no boot, no interface (due to dsmos crypto), no sound or graphics (CoreAudio and Quartz are closed source), no code execution, and so many other things that need no mention.
The only part of OS X that is open source is the low level part and that's because they assimilated an Open Source project to make it in the first place. All edits and additions to the code are the result of needing to update the low level API and kernel infrastructure to support new functionality for themselves. All the mid-level API's are proprietary, and as a result OS X as a whole is NOT open source.
Hmmm.... if this is unanimously agreed between slashdotters, then why is Microsoft universally chastised on slashdot for trying to create an alternative to the 'touchpad only' situation you face by having your laptop on your lap in a place where a mouse isn't practical... like a bed or something.

Legacy Windows apps means anything made compatible with Windows now?
Wow, I must be getting old, I thought Windows still represented 85% of computers today.
Oh wait, it still does.
But actually you can, if you can afford the tech to program it like your local garage can.
Finally!
someone addresses our under-representation!
All batteries say that. Even Apple's.

And it works evidently.
If rather unfortunately. Seems that people will believe anything these days.

Then you should be able to appreciate that the Start screen is just a re-skinned Start menu with a lot more functionality.
If there is nothing on your desktop why do you need it there whilst browsing your start menu?
Windows 8 has only been out in various forms for 4 months. Incompatible hardware is nowhere near hitting the market.
Well there isn't enough FBI to do that to everyone at once, or do it retroactively if they decide at a later date that you are a terrorist etc.
With a bank there is a record of everyone, every single person.

Actually, he wasn't saying that, he was asking why people expect double standards for Apple when they are doing what he perceives as phoning home too.
