It upsets me when useful iso files are only available by torrent. I have better things to do than spend my time figuring out how not to have my confidential work crap splattered all over the internet. I don't use or install anything torrent related on my work PC and I rarely do at home either I find it's just not that useful to have to sort through all the porn, music files and illegal movie crap splattered all over as it is. Give me a direct download every time and I'm happy.
He can go to a computer on the proper network and download it just like the military has to do now. There are darn few uses for P2P that can't be handled better by something else.
Are you paying for that air you're breathing? Are you paying for that rain that waters your lawn and garden? It doesn't cost the coffee shop owner a dime for you to "leech" his wifi.
Man I want to find out where these coffee shop owners are getting the free internet connections. Last time I checked it cost the coffee shop the same it would at home maybe more because they have to get a commercial connection. I also know that each connection takes a bit of the total bandwidth so others can't use it and if there are enough non paying customers the coffee shop is getting ripped off big time.
Oh, car analogy coming on. If the speeding laws weren't so there, my 70 in a 35 wouldn't have been illegal. Copyright law is pretty straight forward actually. Your interpretation of it may in fact be twisted and bent but it is pretty clear. The copyright laws should have exceptions that they don't, and they shouldn't last that long but beyond that they are pretty right to the point.
What exactly is twisted about, if I own the copyright I'm the one who gets to copy it and distribute it.
Did anybody else read the docs on this feature? It seems that encryption was only done as a means to remotely wipe the phone. Was he able to destroy the keys remotely and then have someone read the data off the phone? I don't understand.
For the same reason that the Librarians have so far kept the cameras and tried to keep the FBI out of the library.
Please I don't want somebody looking over my shoulder at what I want to read. I'm fine with the public search function on the search engine but this is a little too far.
Oh my gawd I have to read these things more carefully. You have got to be kidding me "discriminate against customers" of another product. Do you actually even live in this universe, what color is the sky where you are.
Actually if you read the application for a Vendor ID Palm is the one who is using the Apple Vendor ID without authorization and Apple is using it in a perfectly reasonable way. incidentally there is nothing stopping you from buying tunes with iTunes, but there is no reason that Apple should be forced to enhance a direct competitors product by allowing you to Manage the music on a device that was not manufactured by or for Apple.
Actually I did. But as they had already done it I thought that maybe when Apple finally slapped them they would let it go and bring out their own sync program. Sprint does have it's own music store. I really don't care how an anonymous coward feels about this anyway.
I think the Palm already doesn't work some of the time. I believe you have to have one form of connection or another to be able to use any apps on it. No bars, no wifi you have a hunk of plastic and metal with pretty lights and nothing more.
Maybe music playback works it did on my RAZR. But I doubt any apps will run. At least with the iPhone if I can't connect I can do more than play music. Anybody care to enlighten us further? I really am curious.
I'm selling off my Palm stock. First Palm doesn't bother to do their own engineering and decides it's OK to be a parasite on other people's work. Then when those people fix it so that Palm isn't able to steal their work, Palm fixes it so that they masquerade and someone else's product. Then files a complaint that Apple is abusing the USB Vendor ID code to affect interoperability even though there are far better ways to do what they are doing even using iTunes to buy music. And then it turns out that they actually are violating the USB Vendor ID code themselves by not reporting themselves as the vendor of their own product. These guys are pathetic, they should just bite the bullet and license iTunes connectivity, like Apple did for Exchange.
Um man what was I going to say, oh yeah Proud Stoner Too yeah, that's it. Wait, where is that bong, um it was here yesterday, or was that last week. No it was yesterday cause I remember there were fireworks going on at the park.
By the way it was an idea to grab that software and convince IBM to go for it that made Microsoft. It was an Idea of What to do with Xerox's invention that made Apple in it's second iteration and it was an Idea to use a loophole in their first contract with Apple that made windows what it is so yeah Ideas are worthless. It was execution and implementation, not brilliant ideas
Oh and the ideas that lead to a successful implementation are also brilliant ideas. Don't get the cart before the horse. You don't have an idea you got crap. It always takes a creative and industrious individual or group to perform the idea but they have to be able to think on their feet and make those ideas into action.

This is a very prudent course actually. If I don't understand it and it is obviously being misused like this I want it off my network NOW!

more like, lynched or impoverished.

Just west of confusion and a little north of decay!
Actually the definition of transparent means your mother used to be your father.
Chemically
More like Aluminimum.

Ok wasn't actually sure how that worked. How about the games?

Wrong genius But I do have almost a whole share.
And it turns out that it will cost me more to sell it than the amount I have is worth so I lose less if I hold it.
Yeah but they way the stock is going I needed the stop loss.
Plus your macbook probably only allows you to check stock prices on AAPL anyway.
There fixed that for ya

Apple actually bought Xerox's work (dirt cheap) cause they had this Idea see.
