You are making the assumption that this is the first or only windows project I've worked on - I'm quite familiar with Win32. Most of the "cool" things you are seeing in the API were directly lifted from the old Mac Toolbox from circa 1988.
That's no fault of MacOS X - it is simply a lack of practice. I have been using the Mac for fifteen years and I'm super efficient at using it (keyboard shortcuts you wouldn't even know about probably). I can barely use Windows at all. Is this because Windows has bad keyboard shortcuts - no... it is because I don't have any experience using it.
I balance him out. I got rid of cable tv - stopped watching TV at all, quit seeing movies, quit buying records except directly from independent artists. I'm fed up with MPAA/RIAA and I'm not going to take it anymore - they can't DRM me if I don't have any media to DRM.
If it were a P2P system, how would keep people from uploading one video and then substituting another video for it? (i.e. here's my nice video blog about ponies, but what I actually send out is goatse the movie.)
That being said, I would prefer large fines, internet restrictions, (maybe)house arrest, and a short prison spell (as a warning) as an alternative to spending the cost of a good college degree keeping him locked up for years.
but you asked for that service when you signed up with AOL.
They also use that annoying sound in their TV ads - did I ask for it when I turned on my television?
Did I ask to have zillions of disks mailed to me?
Actually, I was working for a company that was trying to sell something to AOL and I found myself in a meeting with the guy who came up with the idea of sending disks to everyone on the planet. Part of me seriously wanted to jump across the table and strangle him.
If that is true why are people arrested all the time for this kind of thing? Examples: that russian guy who was arrested at a conference here because his company makes some product that does something that Adobe doesn't like, people who hack into US commputers, etc.
They are nothing alike except that they are both bans on something popular, and (are likey to get) overturned.
Why do you think this is likely to be overturned? This is a federal law, correct? I don't see either party getting real excited about legalizing online gambling. Are you thinking the courts will overturn this? I doubt it.
But this bug isn't preventing people from accessing content. No, its a bug that allows people to access content. Kind of like when Apple issued a patch whose purpose was to prevent PlayFair from working. I don't recall any iPod users being pissed off that there was a way to remove DRM from their iTMS files.
Why in the world would you sell all but one? Need I remind you that you are posting to Slashdot, so you are supposed to want a Wii, not a PS3? Haven't you seen this video?
No matter how many they make, there won't be a surplus during the first holiday season given all the pent up demand. After the holidays and after people have gotten bored with the idea that they must buy a PS3 right now even if it means death fighting and being gouged, then that's when the surpluses kick in and screw sony.
no matter smart you are, everyone will immediately think of you as pinky in pinky and the brain, as compared to your boss, so please have a healthy ego
Yeah, cause every time you meet someone with an assistant, some lame cartoon is the first thing that comes to mind.

It keeps overheating while I blow glass
Maybe the temperature is too high in your glass blowing studio to operate electronics?
Motorola has always made extremely unstable phones. It's no surprise that that one was buggy too.
No one knows whether the ROKR is buggy or not because when people heard "holds 100 songs", no one bought one to find out whether it was buggy.
On the other side of the coin, you could probably afford such luxuries as a live-in housekeeper.
You misspelled prostitute.
You really think mobile phones and internet access make up for being around your family and friends?

I'm still learning shortcut keys on OS X

I develop for it all the time, thanks. I'm doing a C++ project right now that targets Windows, Linux, and MacOS X.
YouTube could easily alienate its users who are mostly there to see the copyrighted and offensive videos to start with.
I have not really seen a lot of content on YouTube that I would call offensive. Believe me - I've looked!
Dude, I just checked and www.powercordworld.com seems to be down. Do you think it has been Slashdotted?
Technically 10 seconds ago is "earlier this year".
Not if it is Jan 1st at 12:00:05!!

I'd prefer the death penalty.

XP doesn't look much different, but under the hood there are quite a few great technologies.
You misspelled "lousy".
lowering the drunk driving standards until you're gulty of drunk driving even though you're not even impaired.
Not to mention arresting people in bars for public intoxication.
You cannot break US laws outside the USA

He's being arrested for crimes having to do with wiring money to/from the US for gambling, not something he did in UK.

But what a chance! To actually live, rather than read, those books and concepts that Hawkings ponders. What a way to expand one's imagination.
All that from emptying bedpans?

Dell machines already cost MORE than Apple's so I suspect the conditions you outline are a null set.
