You can buy a copy of Apple's OS independent of its hardware. It's not like it only ships pre-installed on Apple machines.
Is the copy that a consumer can purchase independent of Apple hardware a full license or is it only an upgrade license? Apple doesn't put too many restrictions at installation time to make it seem like it's an upgrade but they can certainly make an argument that all boxed copies of its software are upgrades. If that's vague, then all they have to do is change the packaging to make it clearer. Such a change would have no impact on the customer experience. Then the argument that you can buy a full license of Apple's OS independent of its hardware goes out the window.
In fact, here's the page from Apple on their online store. If you kindly click on the link that says "Find out which version you're using" you'll discover that there are two options for upgrade: from Leopard or from Tiger. I've looked all over their online store and couldn't find a full license of Snow Leopard sold anywhere that didn't require the consumer to own a previous version of OS X.
Perhaps you can show me where you are able to find a full license of OS X that is not an upgrade.
The Patriot Act is intended to focus on groups of people organizing to carry out a planned action. It doesn't do anything for single crazy acting on their own.
What allowed Nidal Hasan to kill people was rampant political correctness.
Whether what Nidal Hasan did constitutes terrorism is still open for debate. The typical things we identify with terrorism such as a political cause, message, or grievance is still unidentified. When a combatant buries an IED, we can assume that his issue is that the US leaves Iraq/Afghanistan. What's Nidal Hasan's gripe? His deployment? The US's role in the Middle East? Does anyone know? Does he even have one? When is an act terrorism and when is it just simple murder?
Is the shooting at Virginia Tech terrorism? Or is it only terrorism if the perpetrator is Muslim?
The incident in Entebbe was not hijacked out of Israel. It was an Israeli plane (El Al). The hijackers boarded in Athens.
There has only been one incident of hijacking from an Israeli airport in the history of Israel. That occurred in 1968. Justified fear or unjustified fear, their airport security works. The goal of airport security: prevent bombings and hijackings. Have they succeeded? Based on lack of bombings or hijackings since 1968, yes. Is it because of airport security or because no one in the world wants to bomb or hijack an Israeli plane packed full of Jews?
You can backup everything with Time Machine (Mac OS X). My hard drive recently crashed. The most recent backup was 15 minutes prior to the drive crashing due to automated backups that involves a simple configuration. Detection of a drive designated to be the target backup drive starts the process without the user having to do anything else. 2 hours after getting a new hard drive, I was ready to go again. Or your system preferences can be backed up to a cloud and replicated to other machines that you have access to with MobileMe.
I'll play! When was the last time someone managed to bomb or hijack a plane originating out of Israel? Now how about the US? UK? India? Germany? France? Spin the globe. Pick a random country.
Bonus trivia question: How many aircrafts have been hijacked originating from an Israeli airport in the entire history of Israel?
Evidence is the best argument. Track the number of mistakes you make without music. Compare with old number of mistakes you made with music. Present data.
Would you really want to go work for a company whose personnel director was a devout Baptist if you did regular searches for cheerleader-specific porn? I don't see how that's the road to personal happiness.
Gengis Khan: We need to do something about these people. They do things with numbers, things I don't fully understand.
Underling #1: I've got an idea. Let's kill off all the people that do things with numbers you don't fully understand.
Underling #2: That leaves us with suicidal raging lunatics. They'll kill themselves off over time anyway.
Gengis Khan: Good plan dudes. It'll only become a problem if they find a way to explode with shrapnel and shred anything near them. Plan approved. Make it so.
If I spent $100 and bought all the parts, do they assemble themselves automatically or does some human put it together? Does this human expect payment of some form for this labor? What about the software? Is that free software too or does it cost some amount of money to develop or license?

We all want to improve America. What's being questioned is that this healthcare reform bill actually improves America or not.
Something think it is. Others don't.
Do you really want me to list all of the Democrats who pose an obstacle to this bill and see if you still round to 60?
So there are now 41 Senators who make up 40% of the Senate and 59 Senators who make up the other 60%? I like your new math.
Is this guy part of the 60% interested in doing their job or is he part of the 40%?
So why hasn't 60% of the Senate fixed the health care system? Last I checked, 60 senators couldn't be found to support the bill.
Has Obama supported anything with a smaller budget?

A lot of people do this all the time. It's called a console.
They also come in a female variety.
You mean like these guys? As part of their preparation, they made a video. Then they take said video to Circuit City to have it converted to DVD.
It isn't paranoia if they're out to get you.
Security at its finest!

That's rather insightful. Thank you for that beautiful nugget of wisdom.

This database isn't a database of Jews. This is a database of Israeli citizens. Some of whom are actually Arabs.
For a guy who can't think clearly his campaign of terror is a masterwork of insurgency we have a problem defeating.
Obviously the solution is a security line for the security line. That way the security line can't be bombed. Duh.
