That ban applies to heads of state. TO be a head of state, you have to be an internationaly recognized leader of a legitamate government. Al Queda and the Taliban are not recognized as legitimate rulers. Therefore they are not protected from that ban.
Limiting the extention of powers is not so much a matter of the rights being retained by the states, more a limmit on the rights of the government. In this case, the decision was telling the government that you can only extend your power so far. For example, the congress has the power to regulate commerece between the states. But they don't have the power to control your interactions with someone else even though that could by extension effect inter-state commerce. They tried this once, I forget the case, and basicaly the courts told them that you can not say that the interactions of two people withing a state, even if one of them has interactions outside the state, constitutes interstate commerce. Still nothing about you retaining a right though
Chances are you won't be arrested, but you will be watched more closely. And in all honesty there is nothing wrong with that. When you go into an area of your town known for violence, don't you watch your back a little bit more? If you knew that your neighbor made explosives in his basement (maybe he's just a demolitions worker, maybe he's not) wouldn't you keep an eye on him a bit more than normal? Caution against perceved threats is fine, it's action against unidentified threats that causes problems.
On the other hand, if you got up on your soap box in the middle of the street, or you gave pamphlets to people on the street or went to the printer to get something printed up, you could be identified by site. So if you ran arround screaming anarchy and death to people who didn't believe in your ways, people saw you and identified you, and even if you had no name, your reputation could precede you. Want your anonmity? Go save up the cash for soem plastic surgery and go chuck your SS card and your drivers licence, and all your credit cards etc. Sure you have to give up a lot, but so did people who wanted to be anonymous back then. As I see it, everything in life is a sort of double edged sword, the easier it becomes to be anonymous (now you can print a whole series of propaganda and papers from your home and distribute it all over without anyone having seen your face) the easier it becomes to track and trace you. In the end it all balances out.
Well now you have a point there though. Remeber, free speech et al was written in a time when there wasn't true anonmity. If you spoke or said something, you had every right to say it, but people could also identify you. Even things like newpapers and pamphlets could be tracked back to you. Anonmity and Freedom are not one in the same.
Not really. Apple has been partners with M$ for quite a while now. ANd you do know the best way to win users over is to make it easy to incorporate the new into the old.
Right, because we all know that Region Encoding in any approved DVD player isn't mandated and it's just something Apple put in there for the hell of it.
I was reffering to doing freelance tech support. There are a handful of people arround where I live that advertise in the papers offering onsite tech support. At $25 an hour these guys are making a killing. Also, if you look arround in the rich districts of your living areas, you'll find often that towns and communities are hiring with decent paychecks. I know one of the local towns hired a guy to be the site admin for the town government for something like 25,000 a year. Then again, this is upstate NY that I'm talking about, and some of those people have money to throw out the window. I suppose you could always aim to be a contractor for the schools. The one's our local HS hired to do some of the connections for the network this summer were getting $30 an hour. If I recall right, they also were getting something like $1,500 on top of that for each connection. Maybe that's why they were only hired to do 12 connections but still, that's a lot of money.
Or could it possibly be that it's actualy cool to own a mac again, and Apple is doing some interesting things, and people are actualy interested in apple? And the is a section for UNIX, see it says BSD. And if you're so pissed off about a section devoted to something that isn't a "topic" then where is your bitching about the Apache section? Not even a brandname, it's a friggen program.
1) Cost: iBooks and iMacs are very capable machines at a decent price, espesialy the iBooks. And if you stopped wasting money on upgrading your PC (my friend just dropped $200 because his graphics card was a year old) you'd have plenty of money to spare.
2) If you're someone who's looking at either doing windows to mac or windows to linux, you know enough about computers to easily move your files to the mac. As has been said here thousands of times this software is for newbie users who couldn't burn a CD without the instruction manual
That's really understating a lot of the effort that get's put into putting something like OS X together. If making an apealing easy to use/configure/install OS was as easy as dumping parts of systems together, the Loniux crowd would have done that years ago. A lot of OS X is BSD yes, but there are many parts that are from the dead Copland project, from NeXT and internaly developed.
Dude, if you're only bringing back 1,500 a month as a programmer, webmaster, admin and techsupport, you're working for the wrong people. Doing techsupport alone, you should be able to find people willing to pay $25 an hour (hell CompUSA will charge $30 an hour, just for labor. That's $100 in 4 hours, or roughly 60 hours to earn what you made in a month.
Of course, if you continued reading the story you paraphrased, you would have dicovered that the rest of the world later died due to unsanitary telephones because they had gotten rid of the "useless people". In the mean time, the useless people went on to prosper and multiply untill the Earth was demolished to make room for a hyperspace bypass, leaving the entire fate of the human race in the hands of Arthur Dent and Trillian.
The point I'm trying to get at here is while we may sniker at the people that know nothing about computers, they are the one's that keep us employed.
Drawign a gun is done for one reason and one reason only, if you have reason to believe that you or someone else may be in danger. I doubt they game in with guns drawn. If they were using a tactical team (why they would I don't know) they may have had someone standing by with a shotgun, but I don't think they burst in with the standard hollywood flair.
Sure I could. Assuming that the person posting the information was using a 600 Mhz iBook. 7% would have been roughly 42 Mhz. 42 Mhz on an Athlon 2000 (IIRC that's roughly 1.7 Ghz) comes out to 2.5%. So it seems to be nothing more than a difference in CPU cycles.
Hmmm, regardless of what the processor meter is reporting, when I ran OS X on my iBook (300 / 192) iTunes played very nicely in the backgroud with other apps, though on a 300 Mhtz iBook, OS X wasn't that speedy to begin with, so maybe I just never noticed it eating up other program CPU time.
Licensing really isn't an issue for a lot of people. P2P junkies don't often care about licence schemes because they don't see it. As for sound quality, again, talk about most people and it doesn't matter, most of them can't tell the difference cause they're using crappy quality dollar store headphones anyways.
They won't really. For one, most of the general public is well aware of and uses MP3. Secondly, remember that a person's attention span is short. That disclaimer about.ogg sounding better than MP3s according to [subjective] listening tests, for 90% of the people (and most of them can't tell the difference) won't matter. So they'll ask the sales guy what it means, and he'll say
"well basicaly if you already have.ogg files or you want to make new ones, it's more songs on the player"
customer> "Well what about my MP3s?"
sales kid> "It'll hold the same as all the others.
People didn't have the problem with M$ doing what Apple does because M$ didn't. The problems that were lodged against M$ involved bundling (and making it impossible to remove) applications from the system and bullying OEMs to prevent competitor distribution (read the BeOS lawsuit writeup [warning PDF]).
Also, people don't nessesarily have to be consistant. Things should be judged on a case by case basis. It slows down judgements sure, but not all cases that look similar are the same.
So Apple refused to licence out a product to other people in order to protect their bottom line, and then refused to modify their product so that it would work with a competitor's product. So where is the illegal move? Seriously, as much as it sucks to not be able to get a cheap mac clone anymore, Apple didn't do anything illegal. Unlike M$, every time Apple modifies and licences their software out to other platforms, they have one less sale on their books. The clone's were cutting Apple's bottom line. Therefore the clones had to go.
my band plays literally about 100 shows a year, we don't make shit for money, but we have a fucking blast playing the hardest punk you ever heard. i dunno, it's fun. and it's not for money and it's not an egho trip and it's not exploiting stupid people.
Shhh, the RIAA doesn't want people to know that musicians don't actualy have to make multi millions of dollars to play/write/perform music. You'll ruin their defense if you let this out.

A quick searc for Active Directory on the Apple website turns up these results:

this and the PDF linked to on that page can be found here
There ae also links on Apple's site to third pary sites which deal specificaly with Mac - PC network integration.

Dude, the LCDs on the iMac are beautiful compared to a lot of the ones I see sold in stores. Very sharp clear picture and bright.
The cube had too high of a price tag for what it had originaly, that's why it didn't sell.

Hence why Linux still has a long uphill battle to fight if they wan't to make a break in the desktop market.
