The way I see it, the difference between the citizens of a democracy and those of any other government form is that the government is ours, and the responsibility for its care is likewise ours. If we only become concerned with the actions of our government when it affects us directly, we are abrogating our responsibility as citizens.
Also, an American citizen being a terrorist is not for the president to decide, nor for the court of public opinion. If I am guaranteed a fair and speedy trial by the law, I expect that right to be granted, regardless of the nature of my crime.
I can't say I agree. I can't seem to fathom why they chose a list of 200+ C-list games to port instead of, say, 10 A-listers and added the B & C lists later. Was that 200+ number so important?
When you can roll them up and stick them in a back pocket.
When you can sit for six hours under a tree somewhere reading it and not worry about your battery.
When you can browse them in a store and load them onto your reader without worrying about multiple formats.
In short, when they're as easy to read, carry, buy and keep as a paperback book, and not until.
...and by waiting a year after the name's use was first announced until the day before release, they failed to protect their trademark. They'd better hire a good lawyer if they expect the judge to believe nobody in their company knew that Apple had announced a new product by that name.
I think there may come a day when the only way to securely store data is to physically disconnect it from the 'net. Perhaps an either-or solution would work.
Intranet OR Internet, but never both,
To connect to the database server, someone must, using their actual hands, flip the switch between the two. Make the computer itself either a dumb terminal, or just give it no execution priveleges for the intranet to prevent resident programs from crossing over.
Well, I just listened to it 'perform' with Rani, and it reminds me why I quit Art school. This kind of crap is the result of years of people telling you that any way you express your 'creativity' is a wonderful work of art. It's masturbation with a violin.
Not to nitpick, but who the hell camps where there's an internet cafe? (Aside from those old people who think camping is parking their 60' RV in a grassed-over parking lot for three days, then going home)
From what I see, he wasn't emailing Apple employees, nor calling them nor knocking on their doors. They only way they could have given him the info was via anonymous email or anonymous voice-mail.
While I acknowledge that none of these are truly anonymous, the likelihood of an NDA'd employee simply stumbling upon his website and deciding to spill the beans is extremely low.
I believe his lawyer could prove that the employee would have had to actively seek out ThinkSecret to give them the information.
Also, this could set some interesting precedent regarding who is 'actively involved' in email and voice mail. Is it just the sender, or both the sender and the receiver?
I gotta disagree with you on the "only one worth watching" bit. The Second Renaissance and Detective Story were really well done, and seemed to be far more loyal to the story than the second or third movie were.

Well, if eating meat were illegal in every civilized country around the world, and said to be illegal in ours, your comparison would have some merit.

P.S. yes, I know it's satire
By the High Ones, I think it is!
That, and he managed to misspell "Airstrip One". Plusungood.
I do. I'm a professional, not a hobbyist, and want to do my damn work, not fuck around with the interface.
I'm sure that's exactly what the cover of the Undersea Bulletin says.

I'm saying that when you're ready, you won't have to.
Sorry, disc dirty or damaged.

Yep, I saw it too. I leaned over to my father and said "E.T. homage". He stopped snoring, turned his head to the left and nodded off again.

Or just hit command-0 to switch Apple DVD Player to fullscreen mode.

IANAME (I Am Not A McDonald's Executive), but last I heard, the Royale was a European thing.
Isn't the very fact that they're beating and/or mistreating someone evidence of their vast and wide-ranging respect for regulations?

It's Peer-to-Peer, and thus obviously piracy. DUH.
Ever think of backing your music up? It can be a real lifesaver sometimes. I've got three copies of my digital music on three different hard drives.
They also left the "Luke! Carrie!" bit from the celebration in ANH in there. I think lots of stuff was left like that for nostalgia's sake.
No, I'm pretty sure there's a furry fetishist in all of us.
