Well, whether you like it or not, things have gotten several magnitudes worse on Bush watch..
And by your signature, one can see you are a bit wacko. Saying Booth was a patriot is like saying Lee Harvey Oswald was a patriot. So, yes, you are a loony.
Couldn't care less! But I do care about the contracts you need to sign in order to use it. I don't like being bent over a barrel and ass raped while the service provider suck my bank accounts dry. No thanks! Apple can have this shit to themselves.
When you use Linux for your commercial needs (which this is clearly intended for), you don't recompile kernel every week. The box stays the way it is unless some major security related updates are needed. You schedule downtime to make any changes and you are lucky if you get 1 hours of downtime a year.
This is not desktops, but huge servers. I have many many times tried to get such organizations to even apply one of our patchsets to their servers due to them hitting known bugs and it may take a couple of months for them to schedule it, and then only after testing it on their test servers and getting approval from management. For all of them, this is perfect and does not constitute any problems at all.

"Hora" in Norwegian means "The Whore"... Pretty suitable esp when the line below the article says "Click here to get the latest prices on Apple products!". That cracked me up!
I live here mostly for the following reasons:
1. My company asked me to move here due to my skills.
2. Climate. I've lived too long in cold climate
3. Interest in space. I live not far from Kennedy Space Center and can watch the launches from my house.
4. Golf. I have around 150 18-hole courses within 1- 1.5 hours drive And I can play year around.
5. Latin women! I just love them, nuff said...
10% of c is 30,000 km/sec. At that speed, you are facing a whole new breed of problems. Imagine a golf ball sized rock hit your ship at that speed.. Good night, Irene!
And there is a lot of golf ball sized rocks floating around in space, and detecting one at 30,000 km/sec is a bigger task than getting something to move at that speed.
When are you American going to say enough is enough and cut down this crap? The US political system is a disaster and designed for corruption and this you think is the best? It's one of the worst political systems I have ever seen.
But I guess, you all feel fine and still think that USA is greatest thing since sliced bread. It is not, I have lived and worked in 6 different 1st world countries and USA is by far the worst.
And yest, the average American thumps themselves on the chest and proclaim with great bravado "We are #1!'. And when you try to tell them, no, not really, you are more like 23-27 on all rankings and your citizens are treated like shit. Seeing the disaster that ensued after Katrina made me think what would have happened if such a thing had happened back home. The government would have put in any form ogf help possible including the military, It would have been a huge lift of help and the people cared for and a huge rebuilding project would have followed with one single goal, to get people back into better homes and built levies that could have withstand the strongest possible hurricane.
The worst part about the US society is that people are apathetic. As long as they get their Tv shows and celebrity news along with a healthy dose of bullshit about USA #1, they are happy. And they don't even have the imagination to think that people in other countries are better off.
The real funny part is that many Americans I have discussed with consider the Scandinavian countries to be socialistic but fail to realize that we have as many billionaires per capita as USA does, I even think Sweden has more per capita. Not to mention that even we have a national health care system, most of the players are private and not government run. And they make good money too. My experience is that Americans are socially dumber than Europeans and have been so brainwashed that they can not believe how bad the US society is.
As a Norwegian who has lived and worked in USA for a decade, it's still a mystery to me why American laws are protecting the companies and not the people. This is just a result of the consumer protection laws and laws regulating what a company can or can not do.
To the government of Norway, people are the important ones.
Here in the USA the companies can do almost anything they want and you as a consumer is getting bent over and raped over and over again and all you do, is to say "Thank you! One more time please!" What the fuck is wrong with you?
I wonder if Apple is only going to sell it here in the US. Because what they do here, with the plans and lock in, is totally illegal in my home country, just like EULA's. The principle there is that the customer is the one who decides which services and where they want to buy them and not the producer of the phone.
Oracle is running it's products under Linux and it is all closed source.
In fact, development of new versions are done on Linux and then ported to other platforms.
Here is a good starting page if you are interested in seeing how and what s done by Oracle on Linux, both closed and open source: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/index. html
I have never worked a single job in the last 25+ years that required me to work more than 8 hours per day. I work to live, not live to work. And I guess you have never heard of vacation either? I have over 4 weeks a year with paid vacation and I'm enjoying every single minute!
I was out in Jetty Park and watched the launch live..
Too bad it wasn't a couple of hours later, night launches are really spectacular. The thing that always impresses me, is the sound, first you see the engines start and the shuttle lifting off and then comes the sound, a rolling thunder that just won't let go..
If you never have experienced a shuttle launch, take some vacation and come down to Central Florida for a shuttle launch. Comparing it to watching one on TV is not possible, it has to be experienced..
See... this is what I don't understand because I'm not American.
Where I come from, he could have picked that best lawyer possible and the lawyer would have been paid a pre agreed upon fees for the job by the government. Just because you are poor shouldn't mean you can't get good defense. Here, you are basically left to rot in prison just because you don't have money. We work from the principle that everyone is equal to the law and as such has the right to equal treatment and defense. Money should not be a reason why you can't be defended.
I guess it's just a country that cares more for it's citizens and actually have equality in regards to laws and where money is not a deciding factor.
Get it right, it was the other way around.... The Mediterranean broke the tiny land barrier between Europe and Asia at Bosporus, the Black Sea were about 200 feet lower than the Mediterranean. How do we know this? Well, archaeologists have found remnants if cities about 150-200 feet below todays surface.
maybe you should tell them to be nice too? Like not bombing abortion clinics, not killing abortion doctors, not attacking and killing gays..
There is nothing more vile than religion and it should be attacked just like we attack terrorists. And every religious person is in dire need of mental healthcare.. It's just 2000+ year old goat herder and camel driver scifi. You don't believe that the shows on the SciFi channel are real, do you? Religion has always been and will always be liars. Why? because it's the only way to promote their stupidity.
Don't believe me? Ask them why their god hates amputees. There is not a single case of an amputee having a limb regrown as a result of prayers. Not one. See http://www.whywontgodhealamputees.com/god5.htm
While what you are saying is true to some extent, light doesn't travel any faster and as such, it will still have taken 13 billion years for it to reach us. I know this sounds crazy, but it's really simple. The universe itself seems to have expanded faster than the speed of light, but light itself do not nor did not travel faster.

It's illegal to hire people and not pay them a decent salary.
