Having bought AAPL at $20/share (pre-split), I feel pretty happy with the 800% return. I'm sure everybody who bought at $10 (pre-split) feels even better.
Outside of slashdot (an alternate reality where grandmothers use lunix and ogg vorbis is popular), who is criticizing fairplay? Is there anybody that doesn't think Zune is a turd?
Bad analagy. How about if China invaded the UK. Then a bunch of Germans and Frenchies snuck across the chunnel and started bombing/killing UK civilians. That's a more appropriate situation.
I've been reading slashdot, on and off, since 1998/1999 or so. Over the years, there has been *a lot* of amazingly funny shit posted. I'm not talking about the +5 "funny" obligatory simpson/star trek/beowulf cluster/can it run linux/etc crap that you see now, I'm talking about classic trolls with thought put into them. Stuff by egg troll, OGG the open source caveman, Star (as in Hot Teen Acress) Wars, History of the Open Source World part n+1, etc. etc. It was offtopic and destroyed. And the only thing left is insipid comments with no meaningful value.
That was a joke. However, Slashdot deletes posts. In the past, they've deleted posts containing scientology info, leaked MS source code, and DeCSS source code when lawyers threaten to sue. They've also deleted page widening and xss hacks. They also delete posts when archiving stories. It's not confirmed, but there was a lot of rumors that Michael Sims was fired for (among other reasons) deleting posts critical of him.
But, as said before in other post's, there isn't going to be any or enough evidence for them to say that this was a true ripoff. The sounds are distinctly different, and the original one had no words to it.
Sure there is. You see, there are these things called "notes". You can compare them.
Back in the early 1990s, congress passed a law making salaries over $1 million not tax deductable as a business expense (hollywood was exempt; this only applied to CEOs and such). For those of you not paying attention (I'm looking at you, Mr AC), it worked. If by "worked" you mean that high salaries were replaced with stock grants, options, private jets, and other creative ways to transfer the money without showing up in a line figure.
almost every php book or tutorial I've seen does incredibly dumb and insecure things... creating sql queries by concatenating strings without escaping input data, not using htmlentities, using global variables... that's an sql inection or xss problem waiting to happen.
PHP makes it easy to do dumb things and harder to do the correct thing. There's a low barrier to entry, so many php "programmers" don't know what they're doing. (this also applies to javascript...).
PEAR::DB is a nice database abstraction (somewhat like perl DBI). Although it's been superceded by PEAR::MDB2. PHP 5 has native PDO, which is also like DBI or DB, or MDB2, but each one has a slightly different syntax.
Every php project I've seen uses raw mysql_* functions or a reinvent the wheel (only this time, it's lopsided).
why use debian/BSD or gentoo/bsd? *BSD is/are a full distro and the userland is far more consistent (and manpages aren't 3 years out of date) than any linux distro I've seen. What advantage does a gentoo/debian userland have?

if it's a 3rd world country full of porch monkeys, then no, it doesn't count.
You can also use the Carbon API (via C, C++, assembly, pascal, etc).
A Constitutional Amendment which was not properly ratified is unconstitutional.

Yeah, but people keep buying new version of Quake.
Duke Nukem Forever.
That's enough to pay for a boat rental, some shotguns, and a coup.
Backslash (aka Timothy's Turd) hasn't had a new story in half a year. Why doesn't the BSD section get recognition?

Please, enlighten me.

Additionally, the author/composer of the words and music get paid for tv and radio play.

The Newton and iPod are both ARM-based. Apple has experience writing a kernel/OS for ARM processors.
