  2. OS X leaves a lot to be desired. on Linux Promises, Apple Delivers · · Score: 2
    Word has it that it will ship without the ability to write CD-Rs, and without the ability to play or record DVDs. This is a GIANT step backward for Apple, who have been touting their DVD authoring capabilities for months.

    What would've stopped me from renaming /usr/bin/whatever_they_forced_the_binary_to_be_nam ed to /usr/bin/ssh? The only way to tell if I have something on my PC which breaks the law is to break the law (hack into it) and find out...

  16. You're obviously asking the wrong question. on Hotels w/ High-Speed Internet Access? · · Score: 4
    Why not just ask "Do you have high-speed Internet access?" rather than "Do you have an rj-11 port with shielded twisted pair copper wiring leading to a DSLAM in the basement with dual redundant power supplies and a sump pump in case of flooding or other emergencies?" Ask something the people at the front desk can understand, and you'll find an answer more forthcoming.
