Apple did not build their business model on providing floppy disks to people like Netflix did with DVDs. What's more, floppy disks faded into disuse due to higher capacity formats being available. With ISP data caps and poor streaming quality, DVDs are simply better for most people compared to streaming only service.
All Netflix is doing is chasing away customers. The reasons behind this can be debated, costs etc, but the end result is the same. More money for less service means fewer customers.
True, reverting to the gold standard would greatly excelerate our fall into third world nation status. But I just dont see why that's a desirable thing.
I would rather they enforce the laws I dont agree with in the hopes that doing so will draw attention to them and promote change then to have the law enforcement officials decide which laws they should and should not enforce.
I know a lot of the man power and costs is in keeping the weapons viable for use, but what would the cost to decommission them be? You cant just let them sit on the shelf, they have to be maintained or taken apart.
Any terrorist with half a brain knows that the TSA has never caught anyone or prevented anything and can safely be ignored. Adam Savage from Mythbusters for example found that the TSA had missed a pair of 12" razor blades he happened to have in his pocket (he had forgotten he had them).
TSA is not about fighting terrorists, its about accosting passengers.
Dont forget BASH and X Window. In fact, I cant think of any other desktop UNIX environment you can get anymore. IRIX and Solaris went the way of the dodo.
Well its not a typical requirement. I use a Netscreen 25 which has four ports, each configurable as its own security zone (so you can have any mix of trusted and untrusted ports). Can get one for under 100 dollars via ebay.
The point was, we dont know what hardware he's running. If he's looking for hardware recommendations, that would be one thing. But its hard to tell from the article.
Canceled as soon as they sent email with their new pricing scheme. Simply not worth that much money, especially with competition from Amazon and Google in the works.
I see multiple drivers violating trafic laws every day. Therefore all drivers always violate trafic laws? Or is it only not a red hearing when you apply the same logic to bikers?
So normal retail sources dont have transportation costs or generate jobs?
Again. If I live in a state, order something from someone in the state and the goods are shipped within the state to me, why should I not pay taxes just because I used the internet to place the order?
If you are against sales tax in general, fine. But thats a whole other conversation. I can think of no logical reason to exclude internet orders from existing tax laws just because the order was placed on the internet. What if I have a regular store front but I have customers who walk into my store buy things on a web kiosk I setup and then hand them the items. Should that also be excluded from taxes?
If I live in California, then buy something from an Amazon Associate in California and my product is shipped from California to me, how is that "fuzzy"?
This is Apple we're talking about. Unless he traveled back in time to tell them to go after bogus patent infringements they where doing it long before he was involved.
UAC is a good thing for security. Its just annoying in its current implementation when compared to how others such as Apple have done it. Turning it off is like disabling anti-virus because it keeps stopping you from downloading that sara-palin-nude.jpg.exe file you want.

Theft is when it happens to me, unauthorized sharing is when it happens to you.

SD slot, no Apple telling you what software you're allowed to run, Lenovo is entrenched in many businesses, etc.

Better description would be "iOS 4.3.4 fixes known PDF security flaw".
This is a good thing. If you can use the flaw to root your phone, then so could someone else. But then that would be a less sensationalist article.
Reminds me of this SMBC comic on the difference between a science fan and a scientist.

Its some suspicious looking guy! Man is he ugly, its almost as if.... oh, its me.

This is the job of a good router/firewall, but without knowing what you're running there's no way to answer the question.

Q: "What kind of processor is in that?"
A: "Who cares? What does it matter?"
He's with the tubes now.
He clearly knows the most about the internet out of all the senators, so unless he's part of the commitiee it will be a total farse!

But he said 640k of ram would always be enough! No amount of charitable work can erase that!

This is a bad thing. It stops developers from having a reason to make a PC version of a game.

If the add a UAC white list I'll buy it just to stop the annoying pop-ups.
