Because nothing says "Fight the power" like hacking a website in Outer Buttfuckistan. Especially when the Outer Buttfuckistani government is going to hush the incident up locally. And isn't likely to raid your house like they do when you script-kiddie domestically.
It's the fucktard "interface designers" who've been smoking their crack for too long that are fucking this up.
Office 2007's "Ribbon" was the first salvo in this war of dumbing down and obfuscating an organized, intelligent deep interface. And may the stupid ass hair responsible for that atrocity burn in hell.
The new Win8 interface is simply an extension of the "we're too stupid and lazy to expose functionality to you easily" mentality (emphasis on "MENTAL") happening at Microsoft.
Basically, like MacOS, it's a triumph of form over function.
While it's a cool product, Stardock's Windows mods are well known for destabilizing the system. Basic Windows operations mostly go off without a hitch.
But if you're doing high end gaming on a system, all the their products install can make your experience an endless, frustrating bughunt.
Were it just for a group of PC's in an office where no gaming should be happening, I'd say "cool".
He started a brawl at a gay pride parade in Chicago in 2004 by going after a heckler. He wound up turning over a video of the event so the authorities could use it to identify and charge others. Even after he said he wouldn't.
Take a look at smokers. You can give them nicotene patches nicotene gum, etc etc. But there's still the oral fixation. They want to put a cigarette in their mouth.
And let's not kid ourselves here. Some of these people are going to be dumb enough to keep using in the hopes that they'll once again get their high back.
The only thing George is an expert on is MOICHANDISING!
But, if you're about to suffer the effects of a close range nuclear detonation, you could do worse... At least this way you'll feel proactive about avoid death as you die horribly.
Why would a judge adjust their intellectual stance for something outside of their expertise (technology, as opposed to legal doctrine)?
Could they be MORE savvy about it? Maybe. But most of them are of an age where they didn't grow up with this stuff, and indeed, have spent the majority of their lifetimes predating this technology in widespread use. By this point, picking up more than bare rudiments is VERY difficult for these people.
Unfortunately, getting people into these professions with a "born into it" familiarity is going to take quite a while. And by that point, most of the damage will have been done.
Their tendency to over-reach their supplier's manufacturing capabilities. While this excess of ambition has served them well with the push into 64-bit and multi-core computing, it can sometimes lead to them painting themselves into a corner. And it's happened several times in their history.
Their tendency to come of with what are, at the time, hugely over-complex chips.
Their inability, due to their lack of actual fab space to implement in a timely fashion.
The last leads to a disheartening tendency towards paper launches.
Their piss poor support of what they DO have out. Especially early on. They struggle to get stuff out the door, but usually all the amenities aren't in place at that point.
They essentially went from fighting a single-front war with Intel to a two-front war with Intel and nVidia in two of the most cut-throat markets in computer electronics. And they were doing neither of them well.
The fact that the acquisition of ATI ate up valuable capital that could have gone towards pushing their CPU architecture forward (and out the door) in a more timely fashion.
Their continued need to support ATI continuing to eat into valuable capital.
The fact that the market, while bigger than ever, is more cut-throat than ever due to the economy.
It's not real hard to come up with the reasons why AMD's in such trouble.
Too bad the captains of the industry already decided it cannot work. To paraphrase the best one of them, workers in your home country/state are no longer flexible enough, smart enough and diligent enough to contribute enough to your shareholders' returns.
Also, you're not a common radical, you're a delusional and dangerous communist.
Translation: They won't work for something that makes poverty wages look generous and lock themselves into a Company Store setup on top of that...
Face it, Apple's desire to move into the enterprise space is about on par with most people's desire to have unprotected anal sex with someone who's not only HIV positive, but has full-blown, late-stage AIDS.
Apple simply doesn't have the mindset or resources to take on enterprise computing.
With Joe SingleUser and Bob SmallBusiness, if something doesn't break Apple's way, or they feel that it's not in their economic best interests, they can bury the project with little to no repercussions.
With enterprise computing, large chunks of money and contracts with performance clauses would place far FAR greater demands on Apple to actually deliver. And, if they couldn't, killing the project is nearly impossible without some form of highly visible financial harm to the company.
Additionally, while lots of money IS coming in, the margins are FAR lower than Apple's consumer presence. Apple's shareholders want their fat dividend checks.
The only areas where Apple fits into business are places they're already slam-dunk entries. Content production and the like.
That's without even getting into the reality of real IT groups responding to pushes to transition their business to Apple almost universally going something like this:
*GUFFAW* "Oh! You were serious?" *Insane Laughter*
next time, don't be so quick to get your panties in a bunch. I personally don't care what cellular god you pray. They all suck in one way or another.
Howsabout I just quote you from your original post again.
Who cares if it's unlimited when your download speed is below 1k/sec!
Look at your link again. Notice that the chart displays a download speed for Sprint 3G well in excess of your claimed 1k/sec (as in.59 mbit/sec (or roughly 590k/sec).
Oh yes, and that piece of quote was your ENTIRE post. You said fuck-all reliability or it's rating compared to other providers. You made a single claim about speed which was pure and utter bullshit.
Rule #1: If you want to be taken seriously at all, don't make shit up and portray it as fact.
Rule #2: When bitch-smacked over making shit up, don't try to move the goalposts and say that you were really posting about something ELSE.
I am now thinking of a diabolical plan to hurtle the planet into our sun, killing everything. Looks up science-y stuff for what it'd take to move a planet.
Hmm. There's a knock on the door. Wonder who it is.

Yep. Hammond belongs there all right.
He started a brawl at a gay pride parade in Chicago in 2004 by going after a heckler. He wound up turning over a video of the event so the authorities could use it to identify and charge others. Even after he said he wouldn't.
What? Apple engaging in dodgy, dishonest practices to make an extra buck based on some flawed perception of a "premium" product? NO WAY!
It's not like this wasn't their entire friggin' business model.

You can't run on the moon. If you do, the combination of low gravity and leg power will push you into orbit.
So "Shuffle really really fast man!"
The Chinese will still just sell cheap knockoffs "iiPadds" to one another like they do abroad.
This is me not arguing.

Oh. Has someone NOT been getting regular sex for the last entirety of their life?
Oh wait. Slashdot. My bad!
Considering that most of the judge from the 21st century are, at most, 12, and not even lawyers, let alone judges, yet kinda makes this tough.

Tynan is a critic of Facebook, but he thinks Moglen is overstating the case.
While the language is a bit...hyperbolic, he's essentially right.
Okay, this got a snicker outta me.
Apple doesn't give dividends.

Pure CO2 has a distinctive odor (sharp, almost metallic), it's caused by carbonic acid forming on mucous membranes.
So yes. CO2 is odorless.
What you're smelling is carbonic acid
Re-read what I wrote. I am not talking about reliability or problems with downloads. Sprint is consistently rated the slowest 3g cellular network.
