I'm not sure that's being interpreted correctly, but I think the wording is broad enough that it could be interpreted that way, which is a problem.
However, the rule says <i>conduct</i>. To me, this means that if your actions (only including, not exclusive to speech) are damaging AT&T's reputation, they can cut you off. What sort of conduct would damage a carrier's reputation? Harassing another person pops into mind immediately. "Why doesn't AT&T do something, are they just scumbags?"... well, now they can. Representing themselves as someone associated with AT&T? They get dropped. There's a bunch of cases that could be at work here other than "AT&T sucks."
Go further. So what if you're a straight guy who wants to role play a female character? Why does that make you a degenerate? Back when I still played UO, I had a mix of male and female characters. Thinking through how they reacted (and why they reacted that way) was one of the most enjoyable parts for me, and the female characters were often more fun because of the extra challenge.
In your scenario or mine, there's nothing "degenerate" about it.
For those wondering what the big deal is, I expect a lot of the reaction is fueled by memories of Mullenweg being caught google cloaking in 2005. Once someone loses your trust, you don't really want to share any data with them.
They probably prediced the store to do about 10% of the sales they're actually doing, and thought Apple's profits seemed fair at that level. But the bigger pie only made them want a relatively larger piece.
If the article is true (big if), it's probably mostly about being able to exclude the early iBooks in a way that's easy for end users to understand.

Also worth noting: Halo 3 has not lived up to Halo 2's preorders.

I guess if you're using preorders to define significance, you've found one such viewpoint. To me, the statement "it's like the other two, only a lot moreso" sums it up really well. I don't even know that I consider the same game, re-heated and with extra spices and baked cheese on top, its own entity.

I was thinking the only such viewpoint would be "Halo 3 is the biggest game of the year." Only that would produce the statement that "Halo 3 is without a doubt the biggest game of the year."
Firefox's leaks can be fixed by restarting the browser. I appreciate that some people like Opera, but for me it's a no go. No matter how many times I restart Opera, I still find it unnecessarily ugly.
I actually really like Apple's approach to 3rd party software. However, it needs a way to bundle the pages and scripts up as an "application" that's stored on the device and shows up on the main menu. Native API access isn't really necessary, they just need a bit of structure around what's already there.
I'm sure I'll never see a penny, but I signed up anyway just because I hope it will exert some pressure on the companies to be more honest. This isn't something they stopped doing years ago -- it's something they still do today.
There are already 150,000+ hits for MacBook reset jumper, and 475,000+ for cmos reset jumper. Slashdot isn't even in the top 100 of either. So don't worry too much having let the genie out.
Not disagreeing, my spudly friend.:) I suspect the very first thing the vast majority of thieves will do is boot the laptop to see what they've managed to get. I'm only saying that setting the firmware password doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
Slashdot Mirror
Why thank you. My ego is very happy today! :)
He is right, definitely But being theoretically able to measure something doesn't mean it's practical or the the results are always useful.
I am convinced that "epic dumbassery" is one of the greatest phrases ever.
Heh. I might as well quit reading slashdot now. I'll never have a comment that brilliant again...
Text-based interfaces prove that most users couldn't read.
Graphic interfaces prove that most users can't understand abstractions.
Mind reading interfaces will only prove that most users can't think.

Sir, I've got a slightly used bridge I'd like to sell you.

Skins are skin deep.
I would love to see someone try that.

Doesn't that just mean you need to splice it while it's still dark? This thing isn't going to be built instantly.

That's awesome. I'm definitely using this. All I need is some truly horrible hold music...

I think "end of month" is pessimistic. If it's going to happen, it'll likely be by the end of this week.
