You are an absolute moron. Your stupidity is unmatched by the mental faculties of a thousand lightbulbs. What recourse do I have if I'm designing something that looks enough like currency to trigger it, but actually has a legitimate purpose? The quality of this statement stands on its own. I don't even want to mock it because it resides alone on a separate ethereal plane, detached from universal existence, impervious to traditional modes of inquiry. To qualify it as e.g. a "stupid statement" would be to reduce it to a mere two-dimensional load of poo, on an evaluative metric traceable along an axis from absolute negative to absolute positive. This is, without a doubt, less than it deserves. I'm afraid a more accurate evaluation of this statement (and indeed, other parts of your comment) is beyond the limits of our current understanding of universal metaphysics.
2, because the Beatles sold off the rights of their music fair and square, in exchange for shitloads of money. Yes they wrote it, but if they wanted to keep the rights to it they shouldn't have sold it. It's as clear cut as a god damned tomato in a Miracle Blade 3000 infomercial.
Who listens to this gasbag? He's almost worse than Jonkatz. Why is the open source community allowing such an obnoxious self-righteous psychopath to be its mouthpiece? If I were Scott McNealy I would tell him to go fuck one of his gun nozzles.
The lid, bottom panel and top area around the keyboard and palmrests are all pure titanium. The frame is carbon fiber. The TiBook has poor wireless range because the signal is shielded by the titanium. The antenna is not "next to the airport card," it runs all the way through the case to the two windows on opposite sides of the machine. Thank you for making a series of blind guesses and passing them off as fact though.
Somebody should tell that to OSS developers, because they don't seem to have caught on yet. Unfortunately none of them can copy iPhoto because they don't have enough money to buy Macs, and the Apple Stores don't let in smelly, greasy guys with long hair. They will have to wait for Microsoft to copy it, and then copy that. Hopefully we will have a usable OSS iPhoto replacement before 2010.
Problem: When you have folders for photos of grandparents, and folders for photos of cousins, and you have photos that have both your cousins and grandparents in them... where do you put them? Hierarchies do not work well for media organization.
It's all a bunch of people talking about how much they paid for their textbooks. Obviously textbooks are expensive, we don't need to be talking about that, what would be nicer from all you smarty-pantses is a more thorough discussion of the background of, reasons for, and desirability of the current textbook publishing system, and if undesirable, insights into what is perpetuating it and strategies for changing or at least escaping from it as much as possible. Not "dude i am so with you, my calculus book cost $130 for the new addition and calculas hasnt even changed in the last 300 years ahahaha please mod me funny!"
Fact #1: Your method of dissecting posts down to their individual component phrases and analyzing and responding to each one as if it stands independently of the rest and has no surrounding context is FUCKING ANNOYING and makes it impossible to have any kind of meaningful discussion which makes talking to you a waste of time. Each of your "facts" is total bullshit backed up with nothing but selective criticism and emotion. I've already made my case. In an argument with someone who rips up my throwaway sentences as if they were my central theses and is blind to my posts as wholes, what can I do but call them a jerkoff in response? What a pain in the ass. Please see here for a good example of how to structure an argument and support it with "facts and logic" (the real kind, not your kind).

Hello dipshit, a 640x480 photo of a 20 quidder is not the same as a 4800x4800 color scan.

You can still sue, just not for 300 billion dollars.
Okay, which of these two is better?

oh ho ho. +5 modesty!
Those poor Beatles! Bankrupt and starving, forced to sell away the rights to their music at gunpoint! Will somebody think of the artists!

Get a photocopy of Astrophysical Journal Letters from your local library (via interlibrary loan if they don't carry it) and don't be such a snob.

Why should I have to work around the data storage model. The data storage model should have to work around me.

Looks like somebody touched one of the renaissance man's nerves.

In its market of greasy-haired filthy sexless computer nerds, Linux is definitely mainstream.
If that little girl had violated the GPL, Linux hippies would be on her like a blanket.
They are crackers, despite what they call themselves,
Looking at their photo they don't look very white to me.

I had that once, couldn't see straight for days.
