Actually, you are proof that he's right. As long as you don't care that nobody else will ever be able to use anything signed by you without Apple's blessing, you're good to go.
However, that limitation isn't good enough for some of us. You don't have to give one cent to Google to make an Android app available to other people to run.
Personally, I think keeping drunk driving laws on the books is the more reasonable option.
Dunno. Personally, I have equal contempt for both people who choose to drive while drunk and the overreaching drunk driving laws put in place to 'stop' them.
That's pretty stupid. The commuter lanes are to encourage preserving road capacity, not about increasing fuel efficiency, though that does tend to be a happy side-effect.
I'm rather certain that's the way nature works, the big lion didn't get that way by excusing himself from eating a hundred zebras to eat nuts and berries instead.
This line of reasoning is a cop-out. The lion *dies* if it tries to live on nuts and berries.
We're human, we're capable of reason. Some of us are lucky enough to live in highly civilized areas of the world. "Law of the jungle" definitely does *not* apply, and we shouldn't allow anyone to drag us down to that level with pithy justifications like this.
Actually, they do make things quite cheaply. They're a behemoth with a lot of leverage against part suppliers, so they're able to keep their costs down very well. *Selling* things, on the other hand, they've always been on the expensive side.
To expand on what serviscope_minor wrote, the difference is that in real life, the Ark doesn't exist. However, in the context of the movie, it's a magical artifact. So in that context, it's perfectly reasonable for it to melt nazis. Similarly with the holy grail and the mystic. They're all magic, which we can agree doesn't exist, but makes for entertaining plot devices.
However, nukes and fridges do exist in real life. They aren't magic. They weren't presented as magical in the movie. The fridge was still able to do something that would be entirely magical. It was just dumb.
Don't forget that since 1995, optimizing compilers have gotten *much* better. To the point that now, the most effective optimization is done at the design level, not at the instruction level.
I gotta wonder how long we're going to keep hearing how awful Obama is as hard-headed Republicans struggle to rationalize the 8 years of Bush Jr. that they voted for.
What you've described is how customers will respond to market forces. The situation is still anything but a free market.
If you consider China subsidizing shit to still be part of the 'free market,' then what the fuck is the point of even having the term 'free market' to begin with? It's all just 'the market'.
Look, I can go to the Android Marketplace and download tons of customization software straight from Google.
Apple specifically forbids you from making changes to the user interface of iOS if you want to distribute anything through their app store, which is the *only* sanctioned way of getting software for iOS.
If you can't see the difference, there's really no point in arguing with you. But we already knew that, because you can't have an honest discussion about your sacred cow.
Look, if an appeal to an ancient authority makes you feel better about what you believe, that's great. Just don't expect your logical fallacy to sway many opinions. Your rationalizations of your superstitions are a personal matter, and the rest of us really don't give a shit.
Yep, because beavers don't adapt the environment to their needs. Neither do insects like wasps or ants or bees that build places to live. Or birds. Only humans modify the environment.
I'm less concerned with the promises Obama made that are unkept than I am about the ones that McCain made that he might have kept.
And Obama, despite his flaws, has actually done a pretty admirable job of keeping a lot of his promises. Particularly when you consider that it's in the face of historically unprecedented obstruction.
Yeah, let's build a world where being "punished" means you just have to pay a small fine. If that fine is so insignificant that you don't care if you have to pay it? It's like not being punished at all, and that you can ignore the rule!
Hmm, actually sounds like they're being adequately prepared for real life.
Math is all definitions that we have agreed on that have some logical basis. It's easy to prove a negative when it's built into the very definitions you're working with.
Until someone proves otherwise, the null hypothesis is what should be assumed, and the null hypothesis here is "there is no such thing as dowsing." The burden of proof is on the one making the extraordinary claim; claiming that magic doesn't exist is hardly extraordinary. Or do you live in a different world than I do?
For all intents and purposes, he's proved that there is an almost 100% certainty that these claims are bogus, or someone would have won that $1,000,000 by now.

The definition seems to be "A term used derisively by Apple haters."
Yeah, that's the definition in common use on the inside of the reality distortion field.

This isn't the walled garden in question.

Do you also correct every mistaken article and post about Windows 'viruses' that are actually trojans? Or are you just here to white knight for Apple?

Hmm...I've always lived and worked in right to work states.
Why should teachers get all this warning and documentation...when so many of us normal workers do not?
Because you're not a member of a union. You probably also oppose the idea of unions. This is the bed you've made for yourself.

Err...why are they wanting to hire more spanish speaking teachers?!?!
Should not the emphasis be on teaching the pupils English?!?!?
ESL. English-as-a-Second-Language. English is exactly what is being taught.
Your racism is showing.

Unfortunate as your loss was, this is a prime example of why we shouldn't let people who have been emotionally compromised to make decisions.
The really sad thing is that after 9/11, pretty much the entire country was emotionally compromised. Look where that got us.

and I tried many times to ask people: how much taxes should be enough to collect from people, and it's the same thing, they can't specify the number
And you can't either, so what's your point?
