    I don't suppose a variable-pitch prop counts as vectored thrust?

  13. Re:Ironic dichotomy of Apple's Family Values on Apple Update Means Palm Pre Can No Longer Sync With iTunes · · Score: 1

    Who the hell said Apple has to support non-Apple products? This is about Apple deliberately shutting off access, not support.

    What if apple decided to deny iTunes access because I was using a Dell and not a Mac? Is that a support issue?

    This is clearly a case of Apple leveraging iTunes to squash real competition to the iPhone and the VP who signed off on this needs to be fired.

  19. Re:they must have stupid IT people on The Hidden Cost of Using Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    no kidding. In 2005 the multinational I worked for got run through by a worm before patches were released by Corporate. I immediately air-gapped my whole unit, cleaned and applied the required patch individually before allowing a machine back on my "LAN" (coordinated between two separate locations) and then kept my unit air-gapped until Corporate guaranteed me they were clean (which they weren't, as my honeypot later proved...). Fortunately for me I had already swapped out my mission-critical servers to Linux so I was mostly dealing with workstations. My unit functioned at 90% even while air-gapped (corporate email was out but the users took it in stride). My after-action report was circulated and the event figured in my promotion. My predecessor was much more passive and cavalier which is why he was my predecessor and not colleague.

  24. Re:kiddie porn "research" on German Member of Parliament Joins Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    Filesharing music is an open system while child pornography distribution is very closed. Analogies between the two are weak at best. And don't put words in my mouth, especially ones born of slippery-slope logic.

  25. Re:kiddie porn "research" on German Member of Parliament Joins Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    Read more carefully. I said all instances of possession need to be investigated and that very few do not warrant prosecution. there are some instances of innocent possession by non-law enforcement, but that's a vanishingly small percentage. The process of investigation weeds out the innocent, and in fact the act of investigation is how the majority of people are caught.
