  1. Re:Still payable if TV/Radio streams firewalled? on Germany's New Internet License Fee · · Score: 1
    There are a few ways that a business computer could be made unable to receive TV or radio streams.
    And for each there would be a couple of ways to re-enable them.

    Apple won't release one.

    a platform you can run 10-20 year old binaries, and therefore be likely to run your binaries in another 10-20 years?
    IOW you want to use a (PPC) Mac, not Windows. Because on a Mac I can run 15 year old software, while on a PC the old apps run too fast to be any use.

    So you keep denying facts. What a lame troll you are.

    IOW you are going to keep ignoring that those numbers say you are wrong.

    With my last submission, they not only changed the link to something that timed-out (and had people complaining about that), but also renamed me "An anonymous reader".

    Are you going to do the same for the two children?

  8. Re:Moral-driven tyranny is still undemocratic. on Slashback: IceWeasel, Online Gambling, GPU Folding, Evolution · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The purpose of a democratically elected government is to represent and advocate for the interests of their constituency.
    Which includes "getting along with other countries", because the consequences of not doing so may well not be for the best interests of their constituency.

    Sure, go ahead, piss off more people - but don't come crying to other countries.

    Notice how in Game Theory cooperation (e.g. abiding to international law) is often a good long term strategy.
    Only so long as you don't know when the last round is to be played.
    In this game there is no last round, unless somebody plays the Global Thermonuclear War card
  10. Re:Revenue != Income on A Recap of the iPod's Life · · Score: 1
    I didn't say that all their REVENUE came from the iPod, I said all of their PROFIT(Income) did. You're either really bad at business, or English. I'm not sure which.
    Of course you saying so doesn't make it true. Care to back that up?

  14. Re:Also shows... on iPods Come Complete With Windows Virus · · Score: 1
    The class of Apple to complain about Windows being susceptible to viruses that Apple Quality Control fails to catch. Maybe Apple QC should install AV as well when they develop for windows?
    Great idea, let the iPod rot in AV checking longer than in assembly.

    But compare today's poor with the poor of a hundred years ago, and things are marginally better
    Now compare today's rich with the poor of a hundred years ago, and things are way better.

    Look at the Forbes 400... not a lot of inherited wealth there

    No, the point was that a site who has no clue about what is actually going on (nor has the desire to check the facts) is crying "'They' are censoring conservatives". That site happens to be -surprize- conservative.

    This is the key issue here. I feel sorry for the victim and his family, but I don't think what his mother said here makes any sense:
    "Hitler started with an idea, slavery started with an idea, so it is good that this was stopped in time."
    Censorship was one of Hitlers most effective tools, so equating this verdict to "stopping Hitler" is absurd.
    Yeah, and a couple of guys telling young Hitler that all Jews should be killed were completely inefective, right?

    Rubbish. Millions of people, famous and average, have said, openly and freely, that he is a bad president. They were not punished for it. Thousands of people have suggested that he should be impeached, openly and freely, and they have not been punished for it.
    Yeah, having a hard time flying in the US sure isn't some kind of punishment.

    A statement that might have some bearing on the case at hand if the guy had a chance in hell of actually inciting a crime. Shooting your mouth off on a website, especially one in which you have zero reputation or credibility, is not going to do much more than piss off a few people on that site.
    Gee, then why are Americans so pissed when some Mullah says they should all be killed? It's not like that's going to happen.
