Right, because the actions of a company who illegally added code to Windows to prevent it from working on DR-DOS are morally equatable to the actions of a company who contributes to open-source projects and gives back to the community. And the actions of a man who actively tried to give misleading testimony in federal court are morally equatable to the actions of a man who's just a shrewd marketer. Right.
In case nobody pointed it out to you, the ROKR only has 512 megs of memory, some of which is used by the phone's OS. The average song in my iTunes collection is 5 to 7 megabytes, so I couldn't even FIT 100 songs on the ROKR. In this light, 100 songs really doesn't count as a major limitation. This isn't sabotage; this is just that Motorola produced a phone with only as much memory as the cheapest iPod Shuffle on the market. Of course it's limited, but give Motorola their fair share of the blame.

I recently heard a statistic that the majority of programming jobs are for code that will only ever be used internally to the company. General Mills, Hormel, etc. - All sorts of big companies have internal programming teams. For these people, OSS isn't so much detrimental as irrelevant.

It's an airship, powered by an air elemental. They're pretty rare in Eberron, and are difficult to fly, and only go 20mph anyway, so don't expect it to fundamentally change the balance of the game.
Yeah, ever hear of the Trinity? Just about every explanation I've ever heard goes something like "To the best of our knowledge, this is how it works, but when we get to heaven we'll understand it lots better." Sure, it doesn't use the words 'evidence' and 'data', but I think it's fairly close.
I'd like to take specific issue with your second quote. I see it quoted a lot, in what I think is out of context. Specifically, the context is: "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." As far as I can tell, he's not saying "Don't judge at all" (for one thing, that would seem to be teaching against having any standards of right and wrong, which isn't something Jesus is known for), but rather he's saying "Be damn careful about the manner in which you judge. This is serious business." Which is a thought I can get behind 100%
Yeah, I'm another of those evangelical Christians who would like nothing better than to see Bush out of office. Although I worry that won't take care of the problem, seeing as how Congress is perfectly happy to pass bills like this. What really needs to happen is for people to actually take an interest in politics, instead of a handful of people choosing to 'run our country' as a career.
Right, except star wars already invokes magic physics. You know, hyperdrive? Given how quickly the death star gets from alderaan to yavin, i think we can safely say that transportation time isn't the issue. Nanotechnology, on the other hand, they probably don't have, not on the level that you suggest.
That's for the resource fork. That file may be useless to you, but depending on what type of file it is, it may be quite important to him. Don't delete them before you understand the nature of the resource fork.
Note that, at least in the segments of the law you pasted, copyright law only applies to "material objects". I don't think a collection of numbers (which is what a mp3 file is) counts as a material object.
Apple also introduced an iPod Camera Connector for about $30, that lets users link their digital camera to an iPod photo model -- which has a built-in color screen. Users can then transfer snapshots over to the iPod, where they can be viewed.
Unfortunately, I can't find this item anywhere on Apple's site. Anyone else have any luck?
Except that, if you actually click on your link, and look at the detail page for apple.com, it doesn't actually show any advertisements that Apple would plausibly run. Instead, it shows things like Time-Life elvis books and Netflix subscriptions. I think your evidence may be a little wanting.
Could it possibly have occurred to you to look at the mac mini's tech specs before you say that? Let's see, in reverse order:
3. v.93 modem: built-in on all models
2. wireless networking: can order with it installed, or buy the card later and either have Apple install it for you, or do it yourself.
1. Firewire is meant for moving video around. Yeah, the adapters to hook analog video up to firewire can be a little expensive. But it's not like it's not an option.
Please actually look at the computer you're panning before you pan it. Thanks.
Did you even look at the list of included software? It clearly lists "Quicken 2005 for Mac", so unless you consider the mac version to be a cut-rate substitute, you're wrong. Yeah, it comes with AppleWorks, but in my experience, most Macs also come with a 60 day trial of MS Office. And AppleWorks will do just about anything you need to do.
Also, last I checked, XP's Windows Media Player could play DVDs. It's crap, but it does work.
That's not $349, that's $499 with a $100 rebate and a $50 rebate. That's two forms which you must fill out, send in, and wait 10 weeks for your money. And then you're stuck with Windows on a Gateway. Enjoy.
Just for fun, I decided to search on flaws of communism, just before Accoona got slashdotted. Very few, if any, of the search results mentioned "flaws" in the title or summary, and the third or fourth result was actually a communist party homepage. Google, on the other hand, produces relevant documents right off the bat, in America, at least. (Sorry for the imprecision, I closed the window before deciding to post this, and couldn't get in to research.)
So what if you don't like the Dock? I do. I can't imagine why anyone would want to keep their applications in the Apple menu, all mixed up with Recent Documents and About This Mac and that sort of thing. The Dock does what I want it to, the way I want it to. So quit thinking you've got all the answers.
There's pirated copies of the official Apple service manuals floating around on p2p networks, but if you're extremely careful and have a good memory, you shouldn't need them. You'll need a Torx T8 screwdriver, a Phillips #0, and a flathead (not used for screws, but it's very helpful in cracking the case open).
IIRC, you need to start by removing the memory shield under the keyboard and any memory that may be in there, and then removing the keyboard itself. You'll have to take off the bottom case (this is where the flathead is helpful. also, there's a few tiny things you can break around the area of the pulsating sleep lamp, so be careful), what they call the "bottom shield" - a metal shield separating the case from the mobo, the top case, and, iirc, the top shield. Have fun!
The article was talking about newbies. You know, the people who hear us talking about how great Linux is and want to give it a try. They don't know how to switch to BlackBox for better performance. They don't even know that they have an option between Gnome or KDE. All they know is that it takes forever for the GUI to come up, and when it does, it's still slow. First impressions are still important, people.

I don't remember the first paragraph, but I do remember the second. If I'm right, it should be 'The Man', by Bradbury.

Ever hear of a little marketing program called "Rip, Mix, Burn"?
Isn't that the MIRROR rule that i saw in kernel config?
