I don't think that Apple and Microsoft have any particular interest in "pushing" H.264 simply because it is proprietary.
Yes, they do. The higher they raise the barrier to entry of the particular market, the lower the chances of having a new Google leaving them hanging as it happened with the web market.
What laughable market is this? Lunix on the desktop?
Flashy (ha!) presentation makes up for shitty content, and you claim that this is not only "feature, not bug" but then go on to compare it to your restaurant?
I've seen you make this argument numerous times without a reasonable response from those you try to educate. While I agree with you, let me play devil's advocate: the 1st amendment was passed after the copyright clause. Could it not be argued that the latter, newer portion of the Constitution DOES in fact trump the older provision? I thought when two laws were at odds, the newer one took precedence?
A completely balanced jury, some conservative, some liberal, some religious, etc.. an "average slice" of America, for instance, does not approach objectivity, but rather only approaches consistency in ruling. State by state, a case with fact set A, will always result in conclusion B by the jury. It doesn't mean that the ruling was "correct".
Well, fuck me, I always suspects brilliant legal minds didn't understand the concept of "consent of the governed", now you've confirmed it. There is no 'correct' ruling EXCEPT that which a jury reaches.
Friend of mine drew his sidearm to prevent a VIP from entering a nuclear reactor, on a destroyer, as I recall, because the VIP lacked credentials. My friend was a CPO. VIP was a 2 star. And quite livid. A week later, the 2 star's boss (a three star) sent a commendation.
No shit. Considering how often we hear about porn moving technology, how big 'The Valley' is, and so forth, can we please shed this neo-Puritanical bullshit in the US?
Guess what: normal, healthy people like to fuck. Normal, healthy people (especially men) like to look at other normal, healthy people. Just because your version of the FSM said it was all "eww, icky, gross" does not mean the rest of us should suffer.

Meh, what the hell, you owned up to making an uninformed comment. That sort of mature response to a correction has earned you an unwarranted up-mod.
Did you submit a bug?
Bitching on /. doesn't count?
just like your fathers belief that giving your mum a seeing-to with his rotten old todger would be a fun way to spend 5 or so minutes!
No bad assumptions there. His mom is quite the goer in the sack.

Pass.
Of course, listening to Steve Jobs (or anyone at Apple) talk about openness would be like listening to Mussolini talk about democracy.
Judges, we need a ruling: has this Godwinned the thread, or do only leaders of German fascist cults count?
The police report of your stolen computer should do a fine job of showing that you are not guilty of the infringing.
Apple's custom AAC metadata means the DRM-free files don't always work quite right with other AAC-capable devices.

Its not your data any more. You published it online and lost any control you might have had over it. Sorry.
So, pretty much like all of the music and movies these defenders of privacy around here chuck around.

WTF, you've got some serious Apple-haters on your ass. Hope your karma survives.
He refused to hand over passwords when ordered to do so by his superior and his superior's superiors.
It was illegal to do so - he could easily have imagined going to jail for doing exactly that.
Little did he realize that following the law, could also lead to jail...
Joseph Heller wrote a book about that.

And when you do the pelvic thrust, it drives you insane.
Trust me, most of the time, the nurses don't need you. You just get in the way of people doing actual patient care.
(GF is a nurse, father is a doctor, sadly, this isn't a troll.)
Screw it, for $700, I'll deal with Adobe's lousy customer service rather than some OSS prima donna.
Have you looked at ESR? I think he meant to champion the "bizarre model".
He also says not to wear cotton-poly blends. Forgive me if I'll take his advice with a grain of salt.

Solution? Label all your files "19yo donkey punch gone wild bukkake shave" plus a reference number.
But that is ALREADY the name of my media files (and an accurate description).
