It seems reasonable; the whole "buh-buh-but Clinton!" argument used by many conservatives to blame the last president on things that happened YEARS after his end of term is STILL in strong effect in many circles, including several conservative news outlets and media-sponsored talking heads.
More like, "OJ Simpson is considered innocent in the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson". We're only arguing over legal definitions here. The common understanding differs in both cases.
If that's regulated somewhere, I would feel sorry for such a locality. I've been doing this for years, building parallel and private telecommunications paths for housing complexes, subdivisions, and high-rises. In such an event, I have even negotiated with the incumbent LEC for their access to said infrastructure.
Laughably inadequate? What does this even mean? Way to back up your broad statement.
This much rabid "debate" (more like cobras spitting at each other) by people INSIDE the open source community is an indication that maybe GPLv3 gets something wrong?
Ignore circletimessquare, he's a famous troll from kuro5hin.org. He thinks his lack of punctuation, bad grammar, and terse one-liners make him appear thoughtful and controversial. He's best left twisting in the wind like other obvious trolls:)
Emphasis on "believes", based on what amounts to fiction. I've bought software for my MBP, but I haven't bought much. I have a lot of F/OSS software on it as well.
It isn't a matter of thickness of skin. It's a matter of the author, pretending to be a journalist, coming off as performing an honest and unbiased reviewer of the strengths and weaknesses of the platform. He is misrepresenting himself.
Moderated insightful, brilliant. Please stop spreading nonsense about an "Apple tax". It's been proven repeatedly that comparing pricing between similarly configured laptops, Apple and Dell are remarkably close.
You did something wrong, sorry. Maybe you should have taken it to someone better equipped to handle the replacement. I've seen plenty of iPods with replaced batteries, some done wrong, some done right, but it's not a flaw in the design as far as I've been able to tell.
Are you seriously the fellow who wrote the article? Several of your comments indicate that you have a serious bias against Apple. It's been shown time and time again, including on this site, that an equivalently equipped Dell or Sony or Lenovo is within $100 of the various MacBooks.
Please don't write any more articles about Apple products until you get your basic facts straight.
I wish people would stop posting this video. It features AWFUL narration, is obviously biased, and is frankly misleading. LinuxMCE has much promise but this video isn't helping the cause at all.
Stop. This video is both misleading as to features (documented even in the LinuxMCE Wiki!) as well as being hard on a thinking brain from the awful narration. They really need to come up with a presentation that is more professional and truer to the capabilities currently available. It has promise, but there's no need for misleading users who will merely get frustrated and abandon their effort with a negative impression.
Actually.. there was a SCSI-to-Ethernet bridge available for the Plus and SE series in addition to the various Localtalk-to-Ethernet gateways available from various vendors at the time. Scary but true!
Creationism is not a theory, not in the scientific context. Please don't dilute the meaning by misapplying the word to creationistic nonsense.
"In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation."
Who says certain governments haven't already pushed things down this path? You could swear that some Western elements are simply OBSESSED with the middle east...
I'm not going to bother with most of your comment because you are simply an idiot.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you assure that no one will take whatever you say, no matter how cogent, seriously from that point onwards. Well played.
You have several things wrong here. Mesh radios do NOT have a "practical range" of 20 miles. Mesh radios on the client end, are DESIGNED to be low power to provide "mini-cells" of coverage, so they do not step on each other's footprints allowing for reuse of the 3 non-overlapping channels available to 802.11b. This is according to PLAN. As for 5.8 GHz in use for backhauls, this is also according to plan! More bandwidth, separate band, and actually MORE non-overlapping channels available make it ideal for use in a point-to-point LOS arrangement most mesh systems are meant to employ.
The two issues have zero coupling, stop putting words in other people's mouths. Just what do you do when private industry (the precious "market") has utterly failed? Throw your hands up and say "well, since the market cannot handle it, NOBODY CAN"?
Some government services work out nicely in most cases (police, fire, water, sewage).
Association contracts that prohibit satellite dish installations are not enforceable. See this document from the FCC on this. This overrides any contracts or HOAs or CC&Rs in the United States.
Are you suggesting that one nation is more "valid" than another? What are your criteria for deciding this? Age? Size? Population? Hemisphere?
So maybe one sovereign nation's complaints are less valid because they happen to be an island? Or is this another case of the "USA! USA! USA!" drumbeat gone overboard?
Please cite your information sources for your assertions. Your "argument" is worthless without facts and figures to back it up.
Why must everything be branded "oh it's fashionable to be anti-US" whenever someone brings up a well-reasoned point where the US has failed in some fashion? No system is perfect; however, it is not "anti-American" to point out where flaws exist in the system. How do you improve if you do not self-reflect and correct these flaws? Merely saying "YOU'RE A BIG JERK" doesn't make the flaw disappear.

Way to destroy any credibility you had remaining with this little non sequitur.

Now if they could only ditch the EXTREMELY misleading video with the horrible narration..
Actually.. there was a SCSI-to-Ethernet bridge available for the Plus and SE series in addition to the various Localtalk-to-Ethernet gateways available from various vendors at the time. Scary but true!
Sigh.

The typical counter-argument to this is: "If has no beginning or end, why can't our universe exist under the same condition?"
So please try again.

- Limited availability
Implementation dependent, not a failure of muni wifi.
- Limited support
Contract support organization. Not difficult.
- Limited compatibility
Implementation dependent, not a failure of muni wifi. I've not run across a single muni setup like you're describing.
- Only available if signing up ahead of time
I'm not even sure what point you're trying to get across here.
- Guaranteed to be monitored
Cite examples. Show me this "guarantee".
Also, UMTS is far from universal and also requires similar vendor-lockin cited by other commenters.
