How many times have you seen code licensed under GPL v 1 or later? The "or later" part is so the FSF etc can edit it to say "v 3 or later" for future releases. That's the point of it.
U2 is signed by Universal. Bono is a good friend with Steve Jobs. I believe they did the U2/iPod commercials for free (although they certainly got paid for the ipod sales). iTMS has had a lot of cross promotions with various musicians (celebrity play lists, exclusive tracks, early released tracks, hyping concert tours, etc). Would Universal musicians revolt? Some might not be impressed.
if not for an alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, dinosaurs (or rather, their evolved descendants) might still be at the top of the food chain. It takes no imagination to think that human characteristics are best, but it's not the only (or most likely) possibility for intelligent life.
I think they could sell. In tablet mode, it would be like a large screen iphone. Then put it on a display stand and plug in your usb/firewire keyboard/mouse/dvd drive/etc for an iMac-like desktop machine. If not, there is the modbook conversion.
Ever wondered why the crime rate is so low in Canada? It's not because guns are outlawed. No, it's simply because welfare helps ensure that someone that hit the bottom of the barrel will not have to turn to crime in order to survive.
Bullshit. Montana, which has an ethnic makeup similar to Canada, has a lower crime rate than Canada does. Philadelphia, which has an ethnic makeup decidedly different than Canada has a much higher crime rate.
Actually, AT&T fucking up is good for apple. The other cells turned down Apple. Why shouldn't they? Steve Jobs wanted concessions and the cell market is hard to break into, especially for a $600 phone. After Friday's sales figures come out, they'll regret that. The Apple/AT&T 5 year exclusive deal depends on AT&T providing a certain level of quality -- a level they can't meet. Apple can now break their AT&T exclusive deal and the other cell providers will be on it like CmdrTaco on a 12 year old boy.
He's a lawyer that used fraud science in the court room. Like channeling a dead fetus's thoughts. Or blaming any birth defect (including genetic ones or the mother being alcoholic) on the use of a natural birth rather than the more expensive, more invasive, and more error prone C-section. People like him are the reason doctors make decisions based on reducing legal liability, not on doing what's best.
many of the old krufty 8086 era CISC instructions are implemented in microcode. Modern compilers won't generate them, but windows still supports 16-bit DOS programs that may use them. Heck, windows still has 16-bit compatibility code. OS X (and linux, freebsd, solaris, etc) are modern, 32 bit clean, so they aren't affected.
even worse: no native IM app (you can probably do it through a website, though) and all the service plans are limited to 200 text messages per month (before extra fees kick in).
Dividends are already taxed. Capital gains are already taxed. During the.com boom, a lot of people converted their stock options to stock (assuming it would keep going up), which the IRS taxed as a capital gains. When their stock dropped to 0, they were stuck with a large tax bill and no capital gains to show for it. Trying to tax unrealized capital gains will have the same problem and discourage long term investments. It's a horrible idea, just like salary caps.
Sure, a handful of people have excessive benefits and golden retirement plans. But that's hardly a reason to fuck over everyone else. In 1969, Congress was appalled that a handful of wealthy individuals were following the IRS's rules and able to avoid paying income tax. That's why we're stuck with the Alternative Minimum Tax.
PS: In the mid 90s, Congress tried to limit excessive corporate salaries by making only the first $4 million a tax deductible business expense. (Of course, this limit didn't apply to hollywood.) The response was an increase in stock options and retirement plans, which are tax deductible.
We need a system that taxes wealth (when your money works for you), but not income (still have to work for your money).
While I'm not "rich", I have saved money over the years and invested it in some smart/lucky stock picks (buying Apple at $10/share, for example). Why is saving money a bad thing? Would you be happier if I had spent it on plasma TVs, a PS3 and an expansive car?
Downloading is not a crime. The RIAA will never sue anyone for illegally downloading music. Why? A downloaded song has an established market value of $0.99.
Uploading music (without permission) is a crime, with statutory damages of $750 per song. Whether the downloader (eg, RIAA's p2pbot) ha permission to download it is irrelevant because you didn't haver permission to upload it.

Slashdot runs on SLASH, which is licensed under the GPL. I demand CmdrTaco give me root access.

The [Video] iPod also plays movies.

Montana is 92% caucasian. Alberta is 88% caucasian.

All of the reviews of Die Hard 3 are that it kicks ass. That doesn't mean it's factual. Michael Moore's facts are looser than goatse man's asshole.

Apple to Ma Bell: Wham, baam, thank you ma'am!

The only OS support for SSE(x) is saving/restoring the registers while doing a context switch.
That's not a beard.
an "ass dick" is a butt plug. If he has a big one, it would explain the gnutse pictures.
I'm just glad it's dead.
I don't know what's more tragic: that John and Robert Kennedy were killed, or that Ted wasn't.
goatse much?

George Bush actually decides to place partisanship aside and actually work with congress
Like illegal immigrant amnesty? George Bush want it. Congressional leadership want it. If that's bipartisanship, I don't want it.

open borders and a welfare state are mutually exclusive.
