No, this isn't finger pointing. This is pointing out that you are speccing your hardware incorrectly.
I buy hardware to perform certain tasks. One of my requirements is that it should be able to run any software I damn well please to install on it, as I am interested in a general purpose computer, not an appliance.
That you have lower standards is your issue, not a Linux problem.
So in your world no-one ever takes out a mortgage? Don't worry about it, once you've grown up, you'll understand why your post was not optimal in the intelligence department.
It's always nice to see an economic subject on Slashdot; it inevitably brings out the libertards and the teenagers who think that simplistic slogans can substitue for actual thought.
The problem with the Euro is exactly the same as the problem that caused the debt bubble: the willingness to let rapacious greedy bastards funnel money from the middle class into their pockets.
The existence of this list is not news: the 1% got rich of easy credit from the EU to Greece, funneled billions to Swiss accounts, and now want the middle class to pay for them.
I say the day of a new Reign of Terror is drawing ever closer. Just let the new Marie-Antoinettes continue to tell us to eat brioche. We will have the last laugh.
And in at least one of those two cases, the court had no standing, which is noted in the latest UK ruling. You know, the one that lead to Apple having to post an apology.
So yeah, Apple is clearly in contempt. But I don't expect you to recognise that, as you do your daily ablutions and prayers to your iGods.
The same very good legal team that filed in two different EU courts as a Community action? Which is not legal at all, and pointed out by the very judgement Apple is now flouting? That crack legal team?
Apparently you also have a lacking educational system. You have the right not to have your speech a priori suppressed by the government, but that is not a blank cheque for incitement.
I really like the observation that whether or not Samsung copied the iPad is immaterial, because the iPad does not conform to the registered design either.
They're right-wing. At best they're comparable to slightly less-conservative centrists in Europe.
But something as roughly 30% Social Democrats as in the EU? There is nothing like that in the US political landscape. And that's with the Left here in Europe complaining that the Social Democrat parties have shifted too much to the right.
Christianity seems to dictate that we're all powerless vessels floating on a sea dominated by currents of good and evil. Satan lures you one way, but you need to believe to be saved and reach heaven.
With you stating that you are Jewish, I can forgive you the misunderstanding. What you are saying is close to what the Catholic Church has decried as the Manichean Heresy: the idea that the Devil is an equal power to God in the World's happenings.
The Protestant denominations may give the Devil a larger role in tempting humanity away from God, but even they will not go so far as to say that these forces are equal; although Protestant theology does imply that the fall of Man meant that Man is equally capable of being influenced by either diabolical and divine inspiration.
And the view of both Protestants and Catholics is definitely that evil is an internal force. Sure, there is Evil to tempt humans, but it is up to humans, having knowledge of Good and Evil, to actually consciously decide to take a side.
Of course, the nutjobs in the US have absolutely nothing to do with mainstream theology.
Statistics is a nice game. That 90% number says nothing; it's the amount of preventable head injuries that counts.
The US also has more traffic fatalities total per year, so I grant there are differences. But saying that a helmet would have prevented 900 deaths is just committing a post hoc ergo propter hoc falllacy.
You know, if you can't even read, you shouldn't post your blovation on science.
GP post specifically mentioned that scientists publish their methods, so if your hypothetical 'scientist' instructs their lab tech to destroy samples, guess what? That will come out as soon as someone tries to replicate the study.
Go ask Ponsman and Fleisch how that mechanism works.
200 total fatalities on around 8 million bikers, doing each an average of 2.5km a day, and around 7000 injuries serious enough for a hospital visit. These are the numbers for the Netherlands.
The US has no hard numbers on the total number of bikers and km ridden, so let's stick to.nl. Even assuming all 7000 injuries and all fatalities are head injuries, on a population of 8 million, yes, this is rare.
You see the problem with the numbers here? If you take accident rate per km driven, then things start looking a lot less grim. Now, I'm going by the numbers in the Netherlands, which does have a biking culture, so that may influence my opinion (you think?!), but I think wearing a helmet on a bike is overreacting.
No, you cannot make that comparison. The class of injuries prevented by seatbelts is wider and more common than the extremely rare head injuries suffered by bicyclists.
Take your fucking condescension, and ram it up that arse of yours; that's so tight that it could use some loosening.
And stop equivocating: you right wing guys are all for tough talk as long as it's your side doing it, so the whining for decency when you get some nasty words back is hypocrisy, not 'two wrongs make a right'. Thank you for proving the point though, as suddenly you are now an arbiter of what is morally OK, while in any other discussion you like to pull up "Yes but them libruls do it too!".
So fuck you and your hypocrisy. As long as your brand of idiocy is imported by way of Pam Geller into my country, I will keep an eye on what you Nutjobs in the States are doing, and I will comment on it. And no amount of your pussy whining will stop that, so better get used to it.
No, I've been living under a conservative Christian Democrat government the past 12 years, with a growing racist party in Parliament which actually got to govern in the last cabinet.
The world is not the USA, and your predictable right-wing false equivalencies are tiring.
As the right-wing Hate Machine spews its filth over the public spaces, it consistently maintains it's just "calling things as they are", "exercising their free speech" or "avoiding political correctness".
But God forbid someone should call one of them names. Then suddenly out of the woodwork various arbiters of decency appear waving their fingers and going "tut-tut".

'haters'. You do realise that hating that which is hateful turns your pithy phrase into a compliment?

What must Apple do before you fanbois finally even admit that their behaviour is not optimal? Rape a puppy?
Yes, projection is an amazing thing. You right-wing nutjobs are very good at it, together with completely missing the point.
Here's a hint, moron: I wasn't referring to the Sandusky affair. I was referring to your 'he must have something to hid' piece of Insane Troll Logic.
But I don't expect you to get what I mean. After all, a complete lobotomy seems to be an entrance requirement for the Right Wing Nut Job Club.
Yes, and the fact that you're hiding behind a pseudonym suggests that you are hiding that you are a paedophile.
Don't like the comparison? Too bad. You make your bed, you lie in it.
Apparently you also have a lacking educational system. You have the right not to have your speech a priori suppressed by the government, but that is not a blank cheque for incitement.

Yeah right. Neo-Nazis don't call for genocide. That's why they like to display the regalia of the Third Reich, to name just one thing.
Why don't you just shut up before you make even more of a fool of yourself? Or out yourself as a Neo-Nazi?
Mart
I really like the observation that whether or not Samsung copied the iPad is immaterial, because the iPad does not conform to the registered design either.
Mart
Well, just about everyone with a reading level above kindergarten.
In case you hadn't noticed, Nazism calls for specific genocide on undesirables. If that isn't incitement, what is?
Mart
That still assumes the bank is going to lend that money to invest, instead of buying leveraged debt to speculate on.
Recent history has shown what way the banks will go.

Yes, the US is '50 shades of right', no messing.

So essentially he was fired for not being an authoritarian bully after ascertaining that the activists were not violent and/or dangerous.

Serious accidents. Fatalities.
