Well, the Vietnamese were not famous for being willing to blow themselves up if they could kill a couple of infidels at the same time (at least not before the Vietnam War), nor for bringing the war wherever they want. If you think this war only means a couple of houndred dead GIs and many thousand dead Iraqis in Iraq, well, enjoy your life while you can.
99% of the things he complained about were really one thing, it didn't have an OS X interface, it's designed for X11.
99% of the things he complained about were the confusing UI with too many icons and a menu in the tools window, and shitty rendering of drawn lines and text. If that can be avoided by dropping X11, then fucking do it.
Which place on earth were the US government doesn't try to fuck with my rights? And I'm not a US citizen, so it isn't even my government that isn't being nice to me.
Ah, well, I guess that settles it then: if a dedicated Mac fanatic like you doesn't find it obscure, then it can't be obscure.
Yeah, nobody but a Mac fanatic would ever select two files that are not directly located next to each other, nor would he want to open several links in the background. Not if he has to remove his hand from his dick to do it.
The Mac has Fn, Control, Shift, Command, and Alt, and they all are commonly used as mouse modifiers; furthermore, their mappings to mouse buttons and their function is quite inconsistent in different applications.
Yeah, the Fn key. Sure. Care to give any examples were the Fn key is used as a mouse modifier? Thought so. IOW you never used a Mac. The Control key is for context menues - period. And the few apps were the behaviour of mod-keys are different from other apps are ports from Windows or *nix.
In contrast, Windows and X11 mainly use Control and Shift as modifiers for the mouse (Alt in some circumstances), and they use left, middle, and right mouse buttons quite consistently, both within each system and between each other.
So Windows and X11 use the same keys as modifiers as the Mac, despite having all those mouse buttons? Gee, there must be too little mouse buttons. And Windows doesn't use the third button - that many PC mice don't have anymore. And the use of the modifier keys is not consistent between apps, on X11 it isn't even consistent between apps that use the same window manager. And on X11 the use of mouse buttons isn't consistent, because developers add new features that are activated by them all the time - features that were mouse-key-modified on the Mac for years in a standard way across apps for years. Which brings us to the mouse buttons that Microsoft added to the keyboard. Do you want me to go on?
Obscure? Hardly. I use these features almost all the time. You don't because you can't and are confused by mice with only one button. And what's that prattle about "another two modifier keys"? Have you ever used a Mac?

I hope nobody puts that tip into a How-To-Fix-Your-B&W-G3.
Since Americans obviously have to be told things like "it's not okay to torture people, even when they are POWs"...
Actually, MS got a tip from an informer and gave "no comment" on whether he'll get money for it.

And next thing you'll claim that work on all the worm variants also was started before the fix was announced.
Yes, after even he couldn't help notice that it wasn't limited to a handfull of "fags".
iThinkYouAreNuts.
Odd, how all these new features also fix the wide open holes in the OS. Or at least try to. Or just throw a smoke screen.
You forgot: improved security features break many apps. More from MS.
Academia, Russia - what's the difference?
Yeah, everything will be better when you can't buy music online and all CDs have some copy protection scheme.
But if "others" don't listen to people complaining, because "GIMP is already much better than PS", it will never actually be.

give me a walkthrough.
A world government isn't going to be run by a bunch of paranoid, Christian fundamentalist Turbo-Capitalists.
Now, if they would find 5000 year old kangaroo dung there, that would make it easier to believe that Noah had all species on board.
Absolutely right. Apple just ruthlessly changed the number of computers you can play your iTMS songs on from 3 to 5.
Gee, why don't they call them balloons?

In our universe, it wasn't Churchill's genius that won the war, it was Hitler's stupidity.

That article is about the same guy holding the course.
And you can use Flintstone mode of ac-/deceleration.
