Last time Texas tired of a governor you guys shipped him off to the White House. We still owe you bastards for that one... if you so much as even think about trying that stunt with Perry, we're going to have to give you jerks back to Mexico.
Don't worry, the Mexicans are working it from the other angle as well.
We learn from our mistakes, so let me say for the record, before somebody comes up with a catchy but totally misleading Internet headline for this article, that there is absolutely no way Ken, Dennis, and Brian could have foreseen the full consequences of their choice some 30 years ago, and they disclaimed all warranties back then. For all I know, it took at least 15 years before anybody realized why this subtle decision was a bad idea, and few, if any, of my own IT decisions have stood up that long.
In other words, Ken, Dennis, and Brian did the right thing.
You lost it with that last remark. One third of big companies allowing Macs? What are you smoking? If you are going to make sh*t up, at least make it believable.
Did something about the infoworld link and their reference to Global Equities Research confuse you?
It was mildly pro-Apple. That always confounds jedidiah.
And, while you're at it, stop victimizing the customers. Some poor chump can't build a satisfying relationship, so he resorts to soliciting a prostitute
Plus it might actually be better if some guys would stick to using prostitutes than break many girls' hearts.
In a lengthy thread of white-knighting, mangina bullshit, I think your comment takes the cake. They can avoid the 'bad boys' and premarital sex if they are that worried about a broken heart.
During prohibition, alcohol use supported organized crime, which generated huge numbers of victims itself. Is that really an argument for restoring prohibition?
Various people have been using that exact argument to maintain our current prohibition (marijuana, cocaine, etc) for decades.
AAC is a proprietary (Apple-owned) file format just like MP3 - therefore every time you use it you can theoretically be asked to pay a license for it. And if that license is not granted for some reason, then you files are useless to you.
You seem to be very certain about 'facts' which turn out to be very wrong.
Spend a few minutes looking at the references on the article on AAC and you'll see:
It was not developed by Apple
it is supported on tons of devices
no licenses are required to decode AAC encoded files
This is very easy information to find. Nothing wrong with you having opinions that are contrary to others, but when they are based on such blatantly false 'information', I have to wonder if there isn't something else guiding your opinions.

Can someone explain what the problem with Florian is?
He has views contrary to /. groupthink. Do I need to go any further?
A large, vocal minority of the population of Cyprus would say they have a Greek problem, not a Turkish problem.
And I think we are about sick of Perry... Sorry.

Because there's no chance he had to go on the dole AFTER his second child was conceived, amirght?
There may be a xenomorph involved.
I've seen your mum; I don't think she cares about thinness.
12 times a day? What are you talking about?
Otherwise, interesting.
I have to say that I find your story amusing as I always wondered if any instructor ever did things this way.
I have a kid. They aren't for everyone. (Like my ex-wife, for example.)
If you care about the texture of the mown lawn, then you've got too much time on your hands. Go adopt some kids or something.
Why should he have to pay (presumably a second time, since he is likely a taxpayer) because two people couldn't buy a fucking rubber?
Cover your yard in asphalt and paint it green. It also doubles as a tennis/basketball court. I hate "mowing lawns".
It worked for the Bradys.

Most of these people are frustrated authoritarians.
It's how they can justify imposing their view of the legality of their actions on their victims.
Are you talking about the NSA or Anonymous?
Damn whippersnappers. I remember when a modem was something you did to blades of grass.
Yup, I modem real good.
Then the damned kids come along and trample it.
There's an episode where Data asks the ship's computer what the time is.... he's a robot! Surely he knows the time!?
Maybe he's firewalled off from the NTP server?

Fair point, but I just wanted to get the comment in while the story was fresh, and didn't have time to get the link due to IRL concerns.
Search out the journal of /. user TomHudson for one person's experience with this (ongoing, last I heard).
Methinks thou doth protest too much.
Sounds like a bit of market failure to me. Wouldn't the natural place to sell them be at Worst Buy and similar retailers?

And this beats a portable hard disk with your music on precisely how?
My wife can use it.
I can't imagine that is in a concern the OP will ever have.
The carriers are relevant to the bulk of Wi-Fi only tablets because???
