I mean, if I pay Apple for Mac OS X, in order to put it on a different computer, I fail to see how that has infringed their *COPY* rights...
Here's how the courts have viewed it. In order to actually use OS X, you have to make a copy of the data on the DVD on your hard drive. To do this, you need more than to have bought the DVD, you need a license to make said copy. That license is Apple's EULA. Now, this is mitigated by the fact that you need to make a copy to use it (gives you more leeway) and that you can't read the EULA until after you buy.
...they shouldn't have any say in what I do with that copy or what hardware I run it on...
But legally they do have say in what you can do in the process of making copies. That say, however, is limited.
...once the copy is licensed...
The license applies to making copies, like by installing. You don't license the OS when you buy it in a box at the store. You buy it packaged with a license that grants you the right to copy it in limited ways.
Ahh, but Psystar did sell machines with OS X pre-installed, and without shipping the opened box or at least the DVD with it. If you paid extra, you could get an unopened OS X box. So they obviously didn't (re-)sell software, they sold a (or probably multiple) copies of software - and thus they are deep in copyright violation territory.
1998 called. they want their joke back.
bsod are about as common as yetis... a myth from a bygone time that is re-told by elders and idiots who have nothing truely interesting to say.
Just because Windows defaults to restarting while pretending nothing happened - that's why you don't see BSODs anymore.
So why didn't anyone do a New Yorker cover with them? Here's the real news: WinMo still sucks. Fuck "Users can select a picture from their device or take a picture and use it for their background. And then they can draw and edit the picture using Mobile Sketcher. At the bottom of the screen we allow user to select different colors for the penâ(TM)s ink: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown, white, and black." - that's fucking art to the average WinMo user.
The problem with your reasoning is that when a free-market entity produces an inferior product, service, or solution, it will eventually fail. This is actually a good thing, as it weeds out (most of) the idiots, making room for others with better ideas to flourish. There is no permanent winner, as even today's top of the heap must innovate and compete or risk being dethroned tomorrow. Even Microsoft, for al
Yeah, a free-market works great - as long as the government keeps the companies in chains so it stays free. Which for some reason most free-market proponents don't like at all.
"Semen" is a false transliteration of "CEMËN", a better one would be "Semyon" or maybe "Simon" or "Simeon". "Simon Simonson" - not half as stupid as "Anonymous Coward".
Yeah, there obviously is a difference between Saddam killing 50 "enemies of the state" and the US trying to kill 50 "insurgents" and actually killing 5000 civilians as a bonus. Gee, I wonder when you will be able to tell it.
There is also no evidence to suggest that by "sharing" the bomb with the Soviet Union that any deaths were prevented. The United States never killed again with an atomic bomb, and you can't say that's due to the USSR maintaining warhead parity. You might argue that the U.S. would have risen to become the single world-dominating order without an opponent to keep them in check, but it seems that was able to happen (briefly) even with the USSR having nuclear capabilities.
The American Hawks have urged for a nuclear attack on the USSR numerous times, and the only obvious reason why that hasn't happened was the USSR also had nukes. Next you are going to tell us that the A-bombs on Japan were needed to win the war and not a demonstration of power to the USSR.
Hang on there - why are you now adding Iranian casualties? We are talking about Iraqi casualties here. Most (by far) of the losses in the Iran-Iraq war were on the Iranian side.
Don't worry, as soon as the US attacks Iran, he will count all of them as the victims of Iranian violence.
C'mon now, slashdot always has these remarks, but you know what? NBC nightly news reported this find last night - the epitome of mainstream - and there was no mention of the Bible or controversy over the validity of evolution, none at all.
More proof that the liberal media is trying to force evilution on us.
REVISITED: Running a car with air conditioning on is more fuel efficient than running with the windows down. (From Episode 22)
partly confirmed
The fundamental flaw in the MythBustersâ(TM) test was that the point where the drag becomes powerful enough to inhibit a carâ(TM)s performance with windows down was inside their 45 - 55mph margin at 50mph. Going less than 50mph it is more efficient to leave your windows down, but going greater than 50mph it is more efficient to use your A/C.
So MacOS X users, please disable Java in your web browser.
Others: make sure you have updated Java and still disable it in your web browser: it's a huge attack surface and it suffers from many other security vulnerabilities.
Uh, no. USB 1.0 was introduced in 1994. The firewire spec was finished in 1995. The reason USB won is because it's cheaper to implement: no royalties and less chips. BTW, IBM helped develop USB and Firewire.
The USB 1.0 specification was introduced 1994, but it wasn't completed until 1996. Firewire got a "Most Significant New Technology" award from Byte Magazine at Comdex '93. Which one was "first" again?
Only that a single Star initially cost $16,000 - and was almost useless on its own. It was also quite slow, and there was no real way to run anything but the supplied apps on it. Last but not least, despite a much longer life as a product line (still sold in 89), it sold less than the Lisa.
Well, I have imported far over 200 CDs and have never experienced the "Why the fuck won't this CD import?" problem. But this may be due to the fact that very few of them weren't actual CDs but something with DRM breaking the CD standard. Of course I have experienced the "Why doesn't it name the tracks for this CD?" problem - but then I can accept the fact that not every CD is in the CDDB - not to mention that using Windows will not help you in any way in that case.
IOW, I not only think you are a Apple hateboi, but also a hopeless Windows fanboi, because the "easy" way of getting WiFi to work on Windows XP (let alone before that) has always been more ass-backwards than any problem with WiFi on the Mac.
See, this is exactly what I mean. "NOOO the Nazis called themselves Socialists, so they are exactly like the people WE call Socialists - and not like us." Thanks for proving the point.
Just about everyone who participated in WWI is dead. Only a handful are still alive. But that game would suck. Who's going to want to play a game with ten levels of being bored in a trench and then running headlong into artillery and MG fire to your death as the last level?
Yeah, playing a game were you drive around in a Humvee for hours and then get blown up by a IED or shot at in an ambush sounds like much more fun.
What is interesting though is the civilian machinery behind the camps. Moving vast numbers of people around required a massive infrastructure with corresponding paperwork (we are talking Germans here) and it has been shown that many people in the Reichsbahn (Railway service of the time) must have known about extermination implied movements of people in the cattle trucks into the extermination camps with no movement out.
So should Americans have assumed that the 100,000 Japanese Americans who went into camps, but didn't come out were killed there?

Concise as in "omitting all of the undos".

Well, let's put it this way - Saddam killed less people when he was America's enemy, then when he was America's darling - coincidence?
If Saddam was worse, why did all those people fleeing Iraq waited until the invasion?
It was found in Germany - they'll think of something. "Missing Link found in Hitler's private shale pit"

It's not hard. Read the disc. Really, red book isn't hard. If the CD works in a CD player, it should work in iTunes.
... especially if it doesn't work in Windows Media Player - typical Windows fanboi prattle.
