Apple would be negligent and unethical if they did not act in the best interests of their stockholders.
Once could argue that the negative publicity is not in the stockholder's best interests, despite short term profits. You can't use the "I did it for the shareholders" argument to justify dumping 20k barrels of toxic waste in the local river.
I wonder if Apple are going to keep playing "cat and mouse", and try to bring legal action to bear against these "vile hackers", or if they're going to take the hint that you can't stop us all? Clearly there's a demand for unlocked iPhones.
"Children" part is not key here, the problem is killing people who are simply trying to run away.
As far as I know the police don't do that NOW - unless the person is acting in a really reckless manner and/or shooting at people from the vehicle. Why would they suddenly start killing people who try to run away? Oh they will chase you, and they will spike your tires, and they'll throw you on the ground when they finally catch you. But kill you? Come on, you watch too much tv.
when they can call in and stall your car that drove 40mph into an unmarked 35mph zone?
Call in? Sheesh, I think that you're not thinking technologically. How about an automated system that stalls your car when you speed. "Please pull over, and wait in the vehicle. The doors have been locked for your protection. A police officer will be along shortly."

If you violate the "laws of war" you can and will be prosecuted for murder.
So when does the GW Bush trial begin?
1. No formal declaration of war 2. No concrete political objective to end the "war" 3. Unnecessary prolongation of the "war". 4. Classification of non-uniformed combatants as "terrorists" and claiming they are not covered by the Geneva Conventions since they are "unlawful combatants". Yet the military obviously can recognize them enough to shoot at them.
Atricle 44 of Protocol I: 3. In order to promote the protection of the civilian population from the effects of hostilities, combatants are obliged to distinguish themselves from the civilian population while they are engaged in an attack or in a military operation preparatory to an attack. Recognizing, however, that there are situations in armed conflicts where, owing to the nature of the hostilities an armed combatant cannot so distinguish himself, he shall retain his status as a combatant, provided that, in such situations, he carries his arms openly:
( a ) During each military engagement, and
( b ) During such time as he is visible to the adversary while he is engaged in a military deployment preceding the launching of an attack in which he is to participate.
Acts which comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall not be considered as perfidious within the meaning of Article 37, paragraph 1 ( c ).
4. A combatant who falls into the power of an adverse Party while failing to meet the requirements set forth in the second sentence of paragraph 3 shall forfeit his right to be a prisoner of war, but he shall, nevertheless, be given protections equivalent in all respects to those accorded to prisoners of war by the Third Convention and by this Protocol. This protection includes protections equivalent to those accorded to prisoners of war by the Third Convention in the case where such a person is tried and punished for any offences he has committed.
5. Any combatant who falls into the power of an adverse Party while not engaged in an attack or in a military operation preparatory to an attack shall not forfeit his rights to be a combatant and a prisoner of war by virtue of his prior activities.
5. Guantanamo, with all that implies.
So, when do we ship the Bush administration to The Hague?
I couldn't tell from the article, but which intellectual property is MS saying open source solutions are infringing on?
Not just from the article. They refuse to say, have been asked to spell it out, and continue to threaten without making any specific claim. After a while you just learn to tune them out.
and watch how easily everything works when you boot into the live OS.
Assuming you don't hit a snag because your BIOS is bugged. noapic nolapic are the magic words that got it working for me, however it took me a few hours hunting through forums to find it...
Actually I watched all 3. The first one was pretty good, the second also - despite the fact that it deviated somewhat from the books it included enough original Tolkien to make it worthwhile. The third - where to begin? Perhaps the only thing it has in common with the book is that Sauron is defeated. Why base a story on a book if you're going to write your own script? Instead of a beautiful, subtle story and build-up of tension and suspense, it was turned into standard Hollywood crap, filled with cliché after cliché.
I actually paid to watch the first one 6 times, and ditto with the second. I also bought the DVDs. The third I saw once. Frankly I hope PJ is prevented from ruining "The Hobbit".

I'll set up an illegal hard drive smuggling ring! I'll be rich!
And my "family" will allow people to encrypt and store their information offshore, via the internet. No hard drive required.
Now, it would be a shame if anything "happened" to your data, wouldn't it? The Don has a little favor he'd like to ask you...
One would think that an IT Manager (or consultant as line 1 doesn't mesh with line 3) who posts on /. would know that Maxtor was bought out by Seagate
Yeah, hell, even _I_ knew that and I'm just a simple country doc.
And all the while the US dollar keeps sinking lower and lower. Soon they won't be able to afford all those computer parts made in Taiwan.
I feel so unlucky the US hasn't brougth Belgium real democracy yet :(
oh help us, you hero americans.
How much oil does Belgium have?
Let's remember that come next year, there is likely to be a US administration less willing to ignore Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior
Dream on. It's only going to get worse from here.
If you do not like the product, then do not freakin' use it!
But I've already paid for it and all the hype said that it was the best thing since sliced bread, was an improvement on the previous version, etc.
Oh wait, you don't get to (legally) "test drive" software, do you?

Would you rather police shoot some teenagers tires and potentially kill him
OMG YES please won't someone PLEASE think of the children???
To be honest- YES. I'll take my chances.
when they can call in and stall your car that drove 40mph into an unmarked 35mph zone?

squeeze a 9mm round or two into the guy's chest to ensure the victim stays quiet), and take the vehicle. Instant unsolvable crime.
Ahh, but that's what the CCTV cameras are for... oh, wait!

So, when do we ship the Bush administration to The Hague?
Because the game teaches you how to effectively become a mass murderer.
So does the army, pal.
I use Linux, in part because I didn't want to give you any money anymore, so could you please explain to me why you think I owe you money?
Microsoft: Well, you own a computer, don't you?
I couldn't tell from the article, but which intellectual property is MS saying open source solutions are infringing on?

and Balmer delivers it in person.
Just make sure all your chairs are accounted for when he leaves...
Forcing OEMs to unbundle is really a horrible idea.
I agree. However it would be nice to have a choice.
Whats next, will I have to wear a big Windows logo on my clothes so everyone can keep an I on me?
Nah, your Windows logo enabled clothes will keep an eye on you so that we don't have to, and of course they will send all that data back to Redmond.

Nah, I just download my music from some torrent site and burn my friends a copy. Are you saying you don't follow the procedure?
Why should the artists collect twice?
This has nothing to do with the artists. In fact, the artists will never see a penny of this.
