Yes, I agree, Apple should totally change their screen so that it works with an arbitrary restriction imposed by a competitor on that competitor's own users.
Consider the hackneyed science fiction plot of a large asteroid heading towards Earth. Wouldn't it be very helpful to have a device which can provide a great amount of explosive force from a small mass so we could launch it and explode it off the side of the asteroid, thus diverting it from a collision course with Earth? I wouldn't consider that an evil use of a nuclear device. A far-fetched and unlikely scenario, certainly. But there's an exception to everything, and that includes "nuclear weapons are evil".
"HTML isn't a very good language for making Web pages."
Like most languages (including spoken ones), it's not the language itself which is the problem, but rather it is the inability of people to use it correctly.
In some places - here in Gainesville, FL, for instance - there are walls where graffiti is permitted. So these people could be subverting the legitimacy of actual "graffists" both by painting corporate advertising and by painting in illegal places.
ATi's X1800 XT (r520) actually has only 16 pixel pipelines, and is clocked at a very-high (for a graphics card) 625 MHz. nVidia's GeForce 7800 GTX has 24 pixel pipelines.
Nicotine isn't without short-term benefits. It's a fairly strong stimulant; when taken, it increases alertness, focus, and memory, while providing a relaxing effect. It also reduces the appetite. Physiologically, nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, and boosts dopamine levels in the reward circuits of the brain.
I don't get this paranoia about Google. Why is it a concern that they have lots of different products? Would you not buy a General Mills cereal because they make several other kinds of foods too? If you don't like Google products, don't install them, nobody forces you. Last time I checked, going to their website was optional, too (and I don't think that's going to change).
I was up late studying for a German exam, and I was having problems connecting to websites hosted in Germany that I was using to help myself review (dict.leo.org and canoo.net, if you're curious). US websites worked no problem.

To me, that's annoying and misleading. I want to see whatever data is actually on the disc, not that KDE pretends there are MP3 files there.

I would think it's just downloading the game's executable recompiled for the Xbox 360 architecture.

So do you mean Iraq/Afghanistan, or the US?
See subject.
And I make three. ./ INTPs represent.
People in those places probably have more immediate concerns than cancer.

It'd be great if there was a torrent for this.

And it works out nicely, too, since the weapon does make you go blind.

Woah, somebody's been drinking the "Truth©" kool-aid. Yes, nicotine is a drug, but so is caffeine, which can also have an addicting effect and bad withdrawal symptoms. Should we ban all sodas, are they as bad as heroin too?

Nicotine is not the complete evil the "Truth©" advertisements want you to believe. I'm not saying it's great either; it certainly has long-term consequences, just like caffeine or junk food. I wish people on both sides of the argument would stop being so dishonest about it, then we probably wouldn't have to argue at all.

You created an account just for that comment? I really think you need to get a life.

Off to the test!
They shouldn't have allowed /. into the convent in the first place.
