I think one argument that supports it is that most users who are offered a reasonably-priced high-quality pain-free download will choose that over torrents, while those users who are determined not to pay are by definition not part of the market.
Even if HBO were to baulk at the idea of downloading mpegs of their shows they could offer streams. It works for baseball.
America thus joined in the carnage that had been ravaging Europe since 1914. Germany's renewal of unrestricted submarine warfare and the revelation of a proposed German plot to ally with Mexico against the US prompted Wilson's action. In January 1917 Germany declared all ships trading with Britain as targets including those of neutral countries. In February the British gave the American ambassador in London a copy of an intercepted German telegram. The telegram came from the German Foreign Secretary, Arthur Zimmerman, to the German ambassador to Mexico. Zimmerman proposed that in the event of war with the US, Germany and Mexico would join in an alliance. Germany would fund Mexico's conflict with the US. With victory achieved, Mexico would regain her lost territories of Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Release of the telegram ignited a public furor further inflamed by the loss of four US merchant ships and 15 American lives to German torpedo attacks.
Arguing whether Apple is / should be a hardware or software company is missing the point. Apple is different to most other companies because it works on a different paradigm (and yes, I know thats an oft-abused word).
Apple isn't hardware versus software; Apple is user versus task. That's why, despite toxic market conditions it is still a successful company. Anyone on the Windows side of the industry who tries to do the same thing has to do it with one arm tied behind their back.
Look at a simple example: window drawing. Anyyone who uses Windows has occasionally experienced that bizarre modern art experience when switching from one task to another, with five or ten seconds of new windows containing the contents of old ones. How come OS X doesn't do this (even on old hardware)? Because the fundamental paradigm is different.
It isn't clean; generating electricity from sunlight means using either crystaline silicon or gallium arsenide. Both involve massive amounts of toxic chemicals in both manufacture and disposal. Just because you get a warm fuzzy feeling because they aren't polluting while you own them doesn't make them 'clean'.
How paranoid must a government be to put speaker's corner under video-surveillance?
The UK has an excellent record of permitting (even encouraging) free speech. The camera at speakers' corner is more likely intended to monitor the occasional violent outbursts of some of the more deranged hecklers there, than any orwellian motive.
Boo.com became a cautionary tale by deciding that supporting MacOS was unnecessary. Although their target market was probably 95% Windows95, the journalists who reviewed the site were 95% Mac. Once you hit a screen that tells you that your OS isn't supported, you're probably not going to write anything nice.
Baikonur: OK, Bill, you need to switch on the retro-rockets to enter lunar orbit. BG: OK. Is that a wizard? Baikonur: Try the wizard first. BG: Got it. It says the Soyuz launch vehicle is not attached. Baikonur: Ignore that. Click next. BG: OK. There's an option for the retro-rockets. Selected. Oh, now it says the Soyuz has to restart. Baikonur: OK. (two minutes pass) BG: Hmm, it seems to have forgotten the retro-rockets setting. Baikonur: OK, go to control panel. BG: Hold on, it wants me to update my virus settings. Baikonur: Ignore that, you're going to miss your orbit insertion window. BG: OK, Navigation Controls. Baikonur: No, it's in Configuration Options BG: O... K... Baikonur: Click advanced. BG: OK. Ah, I see retro-rockets in the list. Baikonur: Select and click configure. BG: It's grayed out. Baikonur: Hmm. Are you running as admin? BG: Uh huh. Baikonur: It shouldn't be grayed out. BG: It is. Baikonur: Did you check the retro rockets are properly installed? BG: Wow, I'm going right past the moon. Baikonur: OK, lets try doing a 180 and using the main engines. Go to Thruster Options. BG: OK. There's a little dog asking me if I want to lift off. (etc, ad infinitum.)
Your Mac Mini is locking up because you have 256M of RAM and are trying to run apps that want more than that, so they page using the Mini's sclerotic hard drive.
If you want to stop whinging, go out and get some memory. It isn't expensive.
I wonder if using this flag is to optimize performance on lower-end Macs. Smaller code means less bottleneck from slow HD access. The actual advantage of optimizing for speed might be outweighed by the size of the binaries.
Point of pedantry; They must not think they're all Mario Andretti since I've observed Mario driving around town, and he is respectful of all traffic laws. I'm sure that he recognizes that the race track with proper equipment and procedures is the only appropriate venue for the go-fast stuff.
Yeah, but have you seen where he keeps his car? It's the pits.
Immediately suggesting that the first bytes to wear out would be the ones holding the lookup table, transforming a potential loss of data scenario into a catastrophic one.
I've used my G4 with half a dozen different printers and I've never been asked to install a driver. It really is different to the Windows driver-for-the-CD-ROM-is-on-the-CD-ROM experience.
Apple thought that only those they knighted from on high should be party to the inner secrets of how their hardware was talked to by software and woe betide anyone who defied their NDAs
If you were any more wrong you'd start to be right again. The driver-level base of OS X (Darwin) is open source. Why is Darwin open source? To encourage driver development.
Writing drivers for OS X is a similar experience to writing drivers for Linux, in the sense of how open the API is.
WILLIAM the Conquerer died in 1086 (X86), 20 YEARS after INVADING England and beating KING HAROLD who received an ARROW (ie: pointer) in his EYE (i).
HAROLD is also the name of HAROLD EDGERTON, who became famous for his high-speed images of bullets piercing APPLES.
So, twenty years ago WILLIAM (Gates) killed APPLE. But now WILLIAM is dying. WILLIAM was followed by his son, RUFUS THE RED (ie: Longhorn), who was incredibly unpopular and ironically died from an ARROW in his EYE.
Think of Microsoft's ambition. No one is going to make a great deal of money from music downloads because the labels get the lion's share of the revenue.
Apple doesn't care because it is in the game to sell iPods.
Microsoft doesn't care because it is entering the market to reinforce WMA and WMV as the dominant formats.

Well, unexpected noises are usually caused by resonance, so I'd expect the culprit to be a cheap capacitor.
Funny that a multi-thousand dollar item should get trashed by cutting a few cents on a part.
Hmm, but really, what have we got from all the space research investment put into so far?
Dude, it's called a military-industrial complex.
This really is a *very* good idea.

and the instructor is usually quite interested in hearing about this kind of academic fraud.
Yeah, he'll make sure the culprits are automatically transferred to the MBA program.
I think you're thinking of this, from here

t. Even addressing was 8 bit except for one instruction, meaning you had to hardcode the other eight bits of any 16 bit address in your code.
6502 addressing was pretty snazzy for its time. Perhaps you're thinking of the zero page or relative address modes rather than absolute?
For all their stability, dollar bills are intangible.
