"Try going to Disneyland and doing whatever you want to do..."
Try coming into my home and doing whatever you want to do, and I'll fuck you up so fast, you won't have time to blink. Just as you would do the same to me if pulled some kind of stupid shit in your home. And rightfully so!
Disneyland is private property. You are allowed onto that private property at the sufferance of the owners of Disneyland, with the understanding that you do not do anything that will disrupt the enjoyment of the other guests at Disneyland.
In other words, it's against the rules at Disneyland for you to be an asshole, you asshole!
Finally, you insensitive clod, the only analogies allowed on Slashdot are CAR ANALOGIES!
You are NOT the target audience for the iPad/iPhone/iPod.
You have NEVER been the target audience for the iPad/iPhone/iPod.
You will NEVER be the target audience for the iPad/iPhone/iPod.
You are NOT the target audience for iTunes.
You have NEVER been the target audience for the iTunes.
You will NEVER be the target audience for the iTunes.
The target audience for the iPad/iPhones/iPod and iTunes does not care a fat rat's ass for YOUR perceived "limitations" and "restrictions" that Apple imposes.
The target audience only wants something that works when it's turned on. The target audience wants a simple seamless one click music buying experience that buys the file and places that file in the correct spot inside iTunes.
The target audience for iPhone and iPad apps wants a simple, seamless one click app buying experience that buys the and places that in the correct spot on the iPhone/iPad. They want an App Store that at least makes an effort to keep malware off their iPhone and iPad.
Please, feel free to vent and complain and moan and piss and bitch all you want about Apple and its products.
The people that buy Apple products like Apple products. They don't care what you think, nor does what you think affect how THEY think of Apple products.
Calling out someone on stupid, hateful, just plain dumbass shit like that clown's stupid, hateful, just palin dumbass sig about Muhammad is never off topic.
Seriously, that was almost 1000 years ago, in a different culture and different country that essentially doesn't even exist anymore. Judging that culture at that time period is intellectual masturbation, at best.
It would make more sense to vent your anger against the muslim assholes who use the koran to justify evil acts.
Just like the christian assholes who use the bible to justify bombing abortion clinics and murdering gay people.
It wasn't muslims that bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the worst terrorist act on US soil until 9/11.

Probably due to the mechanics of the 2014 encounter with the comet.
For every ounce of fuel needed to change trajectory, an ounce of scientific optics and electronics has to be sacrificed.
A lot of good science can be done with a flyby of this nature, as well as allowing for the calibration of some instruments needed for the comet encounter.
Every mission of this nature is one of compromises.
How close can we get to the asteroid?
How much instrument weight can be devoted to asteroid only observations?
Can we use one instrument to serve several mission objectives at the asteroid and the comet, and can this be done without compromising the amount and granularity of the data returned?
And of course: How much money do we have to spend on the vehicle itself and the scientific packages installed in the vehicle?
Can we sacrifice something in order to have a bigger and better sensor package?
If so, what gets sacrificed?
All things considered, this looks like a very good return of data and science from the asteroid flyby.

Eric Raymond, is that you?
Slashdot, where stating the bloody obvious gets one modded "troll".
"I own a Macbook Pro, an iPod Touch and use iTunes, you insensitive clod!"
Then you are obviously in the wrong place.
Linux, Android and Ogg Vorbis are the preferred OS, phone and music file format of the average Slashdotter.
Or so it seems, at times.
Touche, A.C., touche!

That would be 10 minutes of my life I'd never get back.
Irony is defined thus:
I'm the guy who recommended the particular .45 pistol (the Colt Officer's Model ) he ultimately purchased.
