You actually believe most apps written for the iPhone aren't accepted on the App Store?
How many apps were rejected by Apple, and how many of those have since been accepted? The poster child for rejection, Alex Sokirynsky's Podcaster is available.

So either they don't have Xeon Servers (so no identically configured node) or...
I guess I should have said 'unix-based'. OS X is certainly not Unix, it is Unix Based(PDF).
So, along those lines, you are paying for a unix-based OS, as apposed to something free: FreeBSD.
ECC isn't an option for any "server" boards running Intel i7 processors now, either. The memory is there, the motherboard circuitry is there - but the 920/940/965 have their own memory controllers and do not support it.
What's that got to do with the Xserve? They use Xeon 5400 processors.
And if someone could find compelling evidence that indicated global warming wasn't happening, that would be welcomed by the climate science community. New evidence that overturns an old understanding is the holy grail of science.
I'll grant you for a moment that the climate is warming.
If so, considering that the climate has been both significantly warmer and colder in recorded human history than it is now, why panic? Why the apocolyptic talk?
Why indeed - so shut the fuck up with your "apocolyptic" talk. Instead why don't you give a source that it has been "significantly warmer in recorded human history" - not colder, we fucking know that, that's the fucking point.
Just remember that the diversity on this planet has arisen BECAUSE of climate change, not despite.
Well, any climate change, especially any rapid change resulted in (short term) extinctions. Humans have already reduced bio diversity massively, how much do you want to risk just too see what comes out of it in a hundred thousand years?
So you want Global Warming to happen so you don't feel too warm in summer? What kind of logic is that? And why don't you move into a properly insulated home instead of running the AC on max?
No kidding - in the ruckus of the "waah waah the arctic ice is melting" hysteria, they also missed the fact that we had a brand-new chain of undersea volcanoes on the Gakkel Ridge, spreading heat right in the areas this kook was complaining about.
I am not only a global warming skeptic, but a skeptic in general. I call âem as I see âem.
There have been some attempts to link the arctic sea ice loss of the last several years to reports of volcanoes under thousands of feet of water in the Gakkel Ridge,
The truth is that all the energy from a volcano the size of Mount St. Helens could only melt 100 square kilometers of three meter thick ice. This is a trivial amount of ice for the arctic region, which typically oscillates between about 4 million and 14 million square kilometers every year. 100 square kilometers is only one hundred thousandth of the yearly change in Arctic sea ice extent.
I already did. CO2 is soluble in water. Ice is water. But then, nobody said only ONE gas is diffusing out. CO2 is the gas they are measuring, not argon or helium or nitrogen or oxygen.
They are measuring CO2 in relation to all the other gasses. And what does this have to do with solubility in water? They aren't looking at CO2 bubbles from frozen sea water - they are looking at air trapped in fallen snow which became ice under pressure. How would looking at CO2 from sea water give any indication of the relational content of CO2 in the atmosphere?
So now you claim that each and every Pokemon has the same importance as a President of the United States. Sure, go on making a point - it may not be the one you want, however.
My father is an environmental engineer. He cleans up some of the stupid crap we have done over the past hundred years. We were having a talk about global warming years ago, before it was a big buzzword. He said to me: "Be careful listening to the global warming experts. If they have devoted their career to global warming and if it turns out not to be true, they don't just lose their job they lose their field of expertise."
That quote from somebody who makes his living from cleaning up the stupid crap that wouldn't have been done if people had listened to the warnings from scientists in the first place - yeah, I can certainly see why he'd rather prefer we would continue to not listen to any warnings.

All that talk, and no support for what supposedly everybody knows. Made up stories is more like it.
Why on earth must every criticism of some Apple policy or product be immediately countered by "but MS does it too"?
Hey, if this isn't even allowed for criticism coming from Microsoft...
Initial reports don't look that great?
Are you KIDDING me? Android is doing really, really well. Google makes more ad money out of Android phones than from iPhones.
Sorry to burst your Apple fanboi bubble, but the iPhone isn't a jesus phone.
No, but Android seems to be the Google-ad-phone.
Oh so "Apple's brand is based on a tight vertical integration of hardware and software" supposedly means the same as "They were not IBM compatible".
So they are asking for something they are already able to do? Why bother?
Well, I didn't say that.
The iPod is a different type of device. Businesses don't have any need for mp3 players but they do for cellphones and portable computers.
So why does just about every smartphone play MP3s?
>>Apple's brand is based on a tight vertical integration of hardware and software...
Which is what made them lose the PC war. Which is what will make them lose this one, in the end.
As opposed to IBM, who won the PC war?
Time for ZFS
So how does ZFS deal with corrupted MySQL files?

You never had to suffer a fucked-up hardware RAID, have you?
I guess I should have said 'unix-based'. OS X is certainly not Unix, it is Unix Based(PDF). So, along those lines, you are paying for a unix-based OS, as apposed to something free: FreeBSD.
Actually, what you should have done is look better: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/unix.html

Ah, I see. I'm sorry. I thought I was talking to reasonably informed adults who happen to disagree on a variety of particulars.
Well, I knew I wasn't.
And if someone could find compelling evidence that indicated global warming wasn't happening, that would be welcomed by the climate science community. New evidence that overturns an old understanding is the holy grail of science.

...the world to take global warming seriously, when these jokers are making such wildly inaccurate predictions based on obsolete technology?
So you admit the Global Warming Deniers are jokers - because nobody but them are using the short term data for predictions.
Just remember that the diversity on this planet has arisen BECAUSE of climate change, not despite.
Well, any climate change, especially any rapid change resulted in (short term) extinctions. Humans have already reduced bio diversity massively, how much do you want to risk just too see what comes out of it in a hundred thousand years?
Parent wasn't saying that the climate isn't changing. It was saying that it isn't man made change.
No, it didn't. Not a single time did it admit the climate was changing. Moreover, it was full of lies.

Oh, is that so? Let's ignore for a moment that just because those volcanos were "recently" found (a decade ago) doesn't make them "new" - http://climatesanity.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/volcanos-in-gakkel-ridge-not-responsible-melting-the-arctic-ice/

Other skeptics can accept that - can you?
But I'm sure you can tell them how this happens.

they are interested in trends, not absolute values
Climate scientists are the mental equivalent of teenagers and shallow women. Thanks for the clarification.
While climate change deniers are the mental equivalent of nine year olds. Thanks for proving that.
