Most restrictive free, open source license. Gee, what a small subset of licenses that is after you initial brainfart.
And again, if you genuinely believe what you've just posted, you're an idiot. I know it risks collapsing your tiny little brain, but perhaps you should read some of the history of the FSF and Stallmans aims before mouthing off. I can find a lot to disagree with him on, but to question their aims like that is just plain ignorant.
If you genuinely think that then... Well you have no idea what you're talking about. Compare the GPL to any old EULA someday, maybe from closed software, or a console or something.
And call me old fashioned, but wasn't politics supposed to be about politicians spelling out their policies and views, and us voting for someone whose principles and policies we agree with? You know, a process with some integrity?
Not a whole bunch of refinements based on popular opinion until there's nothing left but a living, breathing popularity poll....
I worked on Chip And Pin stuff about ten years ago when Europe was starting to roll it out. As far as I know there still aren't many convincing hacks, and in fact the weakest link is the fact that the mag stripe is still present and some merchants still accept it.
That's not to say there aren't security holes, but the only one I've read about that can actually be exploited so far requires the original card and an active passthru device.
I'm not exactly an Apple fan but you can't deny he has had a huge impact on the tech world over his lifetime, and played a major part in driving the masses to portable technology. It's sad to see him go.
You mean one where people not familiar with financial instruments were mislead and drawn into unmanageable/risky amounts of debt by unscrupulous agents who only cared about comission? As part of an atmosphere in which this is widespread and inflates the market to the point where debt on or over the edge of maintainability is the only way to get a house at all?
Yeah, they should totally lose their homes and be thrown out on the street. Totally.
Is it really as cut and dried as them buying one copy and selling multiple copies from that?
I thought they bought one copy *per customer*, installed and shipped it to that customer. The only transgression was that they installed it on non-apple hardware.
I thought that the inclusion of (usually optional) parental control settings was part of parenting, deciding whether your kids are ready for whatever's behind the lock.
Or have you decided that when you spawn you're going to be around your kid 24/7 ?
There are already provisions available, and contracts that specify penalties for breakages, downtime and late delivery.
If he's worried that these sorts of provisions don't get observed in consumer operating systems - no shiat. They're too big and complex to do with any sort of reasonable cost. Prices will rise to cover both additional effort, and liability related costs.
You know what, I got confused between two old phones there.
The windows one took full sized SD cards, had a camera module and could play music and videos. Then I had a Nokia N70 Symbian Phone, that took MMC-RS and could run some basic stuff in Mame.
I guess I just wanted to make the point that there had been various degrees of smartness in phones for some time.
Not that I approve of windows mobile, and it was a horrible experience, but -
I had a Windows phone in about 2004. I compiled mame for it, and it could play some games tolerably fast. The UI layout was xml based and could be adapted. It had a camera module and a reasonably high def screen, and could take MMC-RS cards to play video and music. Definitely a smartphone by any description you choose to apply to it, and it was far from the only one.
Religion is the normative study of how things should be.
Popular religion as it is practised in the west is not the study of anything. It's all about being part of the crowd and proclaiming your own righteousness above others.
And yes, I include Islam as practiced in the west in this.
And now we have those examples to add to our historical knowledge too!
Isn't this fun?
Oh, you meant that some people tried something new and ran up against (major) problems to do with abuse of power and other nasty aspects of human nature, so we should (obviously!) go back two millenia in our thinking.

So Ron Paul doesn't want to repeal the Roe v Wade decision and set women's rights in the US back 30 years?

Wicca? Encouraging people to think?
ROFLMAO.

Maybe I'm just naive.
They ought to at least give the damned souls that work on Notes access to this research.
I'm a filer, because search in notes is both painful and useless.
I'm not sure how broken chip and pin is, really.

Block facebook.com and fbcdn.com, then add exceptions for the two sites when visting facebook.com. Problem solved, no more fb tracking.
Which is why you use adblock to block the loading of any resources from facebook or fbcdn when you're not directly visiting facebook.com.
Helps, IMHO.
Wait, you've never understood the need for smartphones, and hate them, yet you keep on buying them?
I'm not sure the phones are the problem here...

Is that what Psystar were doing though?

And everyone always forgets Antarctica!
The continent of Australia is geographically located where?
You said it yourself, the continent of Australia, which is about as far from Asia as the Eastern US is from Europe.
Err, Australia is about as much in Asia as the Eastern US is in Europe.

Think of it as a public service - most tubby city workers could probably do with some more energy expenditure in their day.

Which arm platform?
My N900 runs Opera Mobile 11 just fine. You can pick that build up from http://labs.opera.com/downloads/
They have just dropped support for Windows Mobile 6.5 though.

Put down the meth pipe, go get some sleep. The world will look a little less conspiratorial in the morning.
