From the article: Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) places the blame on these European companies for the alligator clips being applied to dissidents, which is a bad thing. But if, instead of dissidents, the alligator clips were being applied to terrorists in, say, Iraq or Afghanistan, well then that would be a good thing I guess, and Sen. Kirk would be giving the credit instead of placing the blame.
Hey, we're not in business to preserve human rights. In fact, we would be legally liable for failing our fiduciary duty to our shareholders if we failed to pursue the lucrative oppression-assistance market. We were incorporated to pursue profit and, by golly, that's what we're doing!
No, they aren't. In fact, the final hardware for the 4S was the first engineering prototype, and the iOS5 golden master was the first version that even compiled.
Apple can get away with this because they know that they'll sell as many iPhones as they can make, no matter how crappy they are.
Quite. It's funny how all the extreme right wingers in the US loathe the idea of democracy so much they try to re-label their constitution according to their own definitions. Iit's almost like they're elitist, or undemocratic or something.
You don't seem to be aware that the U.S. Constitution was written by elitist, undemocratic men.
As already said, you are ignorant and wrong about the inch.
Furthermore, the kilogram happens to be the mass of a lump of metal in France. If the lump of metal would have been different, a kilogram would have been a different mass. In fact, the kilogram is a different mass than it used to be. Oops.
Minutes, hours and days are not imperial units, but are based upon SI units.
Inches, feet and miles are also based upon SI units.
There's nothing wrong with doing science using American units of measurement, as long as you don't expect to have to interact with crazy ferriners. Sure it's harder to do calculations in your head, but why do we need to be doing calculations in our heads anyway? Isn't that what phones are for?

You made me feel bad.
I'm leaving Slashdot and never coming back.
At least I'm leaving with excellent karma.
"The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on record in 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy calculated.
No other pollutant is being discussed.
Yeah every time I get too much carbon dioxide in my lungs, I start to feel like my chest is going to explode.
Then I exhale.
No more 3 hour drives to the coast! I'll be enjoying my beachfront property and palm trees right here at home before too long!
'What happens to the music you paid for if that company changes its mind?
Answer: It PlaysForSure (TM).
No actually it was the difference between "they're" and "their".
Thanks, my pedantic friend. I award you 3 internets for catching my lackadaisical usage of grammar and relying to heavily on Chromium's spellcheck.
That's what you get for using Chromium instead of Internet Explorer, you unwashed hippy.

They are heart is in the right place? What does that mean?

No, just carry an extra iPhone or two, and switch when the battery is drained.
Some people have had problems. Others have not.
I bet you're one of the bitches who blames Microsoft for HP putting out 400meg driver packages for Windows too.
You got me nailed. In fact, I even blame Microsoft for the iPhone 4S battery issue.
Just store everything in /
What could be simpler?
That functionality and usability testing by the app-store staff must have been extra rigorous with this app, or something.
Democrat president enforces law passed by democrat congress and signed by democrat president and it's... "Butt-head Republican ideology"

As an outsider, I got the impession that Obama was going to pull out of Afghanistan pretty much straight away.
And he did it too!
Well... as long as doubling the number of soldiers counts as "pulling out", that is...
Ok, so why haven't we attacked Pakistan then?
