I served my country, 5 years in the Marine Corps. I've been all over the world, to countries that saying anything about the leader of that country could get you thrown in prison or worse. This is a knee-jerk reaction to a kid's momentary lapse of judgement.
You know nothing about me, and it seems, not a whole lot about anything.
What they would like is a way to get rid of the event horizon so that they can see what goes on behind it.
Am I understanding this? We don't really know how black holes work, but we know the event horizon is the point where light and other matter stop "coming out the other side", and in order to see what's on the other side, they want to dstroy a black hole?
two things...
Thing 1: head asplode
Thing 2: How is this a good thing to do? Aren't they basically stating that they don't understand how or why this is occurring, but they want to destroy something to figure out what goes on behind it? When are they planning to do this? December 21st, 2012?
I can see it now....someone says something dumb, Frank from Accounting comes over to their side of the conference table, jumps up on it and proceeds to tea bag them.
Yeah, MMO-like corporate worlds could be fantastic.
Actually, Mr "Anonymous Coward", if indeed that is your real name...I have a mix of devices at home and work. iPhone for my phone, macbook pro for my laptop, Dell for desktop, etc. No, I don't have an iPad, and if you'll re-read my signature, you'll note it's a joke.
And, as far as you "developing" apps for the iPhone, I'm sure you're amazingly successful.
I've been in this industry a long fucking time, and I've seen shit come and go. But this time, the consumer isn't even a thought. This is two companies arguing over who gets to put ads on our devices whether we want them there or not. And that's horseshit, IMO.
Oh, and thanks for the course on how software works. I'm sure you're quite successful.
It's early, and I don't feel like "debating" with you, so I'll just insult you instead.
You're wrong, stupid-head. The wrongness of your post stinks so bad of wrong that if regular-flavored wrong were switched for your extreme-wrongness, we wouldn't even know what regular-flavored wrong tastes like.
Brian Fantana: [about Veronica] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up. [opens cologne cabinet] Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight. Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent. Brian Fantana: Oh yeah. Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way. Brian Fantana: Yep. Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline. Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time. [cheesy grin] Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense. Brian Fantana: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.

I'm being cremated, so you'll have to shit in my ashes.
I'll have my family email you with where my remains will be spread.
For the record, I've killed hundreds of millions of potential babies, but no "alive" babies.
Also, die in a fire.
Whoops, didn't close the tag.

are the reasons this place is going to shit.
They've all been programmed to obey authority without questioning.
LOL, yeah, I'm a fucking KILLING MACHINE!
Have you ever served in the military?
Do you really think we're unable to think for ourselves?
Are you really comparing the military to prison?

Love the lack of free speech here.
Burn a flag, protest, do whatever, but HOW DARE YOU CALL OUR PRESIDENT A PRICK!
You sir, will never visit our country!
Sometimes I can't believe I live in this country, it's so goddamned weird.
"Why wouldn't I just use Windows 7 then?"
No, they'll answer you, they'll tell you what you want to hear.
Then...they'll do whatever the hell they want. What? You elected them!
(Sadly, that's how it seems to go all over the world.)
Nah, man, see you just don't get it.
Any time in my life I've ever heard that phrase, it was being uttered by a complete and utter tool.
(Why yes, I do use it in day-to-day conversation, why do you ask?)
With their families watching.
I hate people. No, not you, but them. Over there. Next to the oranges.

For fuck sake, they're ARGUING OVER THE RIGHTS TO PUT FUCKING ADS ON OUR PERSONAL DEVICES.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? Fuck them and their ads. Do not want.

Actually, I recommend a SIP Phone on speaker mode...that'll shut 'em up. ;-)
(Seriously, though, I second the jawbone. They're bad-ass when it comes to noise canceling.
I dunno, the average joe wouldn't know what the hell Jobs was talking about.
Ah, I love Anchorman:

troll because I don't think this is cool?
Is this another typical -1 I disagree troll mod?
Yup, cool technology, lame application.
Basically, air guitar to guitar hero?
Meh.
The entire point of starting a business is to make money.
This is false. While a company needs to make money to be successful, this is not the only reason for a company to exist. And I thought I was jaded.
Why do I feel like Captain Obvious is being obvious here?
Microsoft is the Walmart of the software world. Cheap goods that a lot of people use. Of course they're the weak link.
Which website will you pick to clone you?
Hmm, probably Hustler.
If someone needs to be trained to use Windows 7 then there is something wrong with them.
Well, yeah. Some people just aren't smart period. In the immortal words of Judge Smails: "Well, the world needs ditch diggers too."
yes, you're correct. Although if he did hack local government servers the same statement should apply.
I argued this point the last time it came up and was modded down due to the excuses that were readily available:
"He has Aspergers"
"He wasn't trying to do anything criminal"
etc, etc.
I agree with you 100%. It doesn't matter what medical conditions he has, it doesn't matter WHY he was doing it, he hacked government servers.
That's the bottom line.
