In economics it's called the tragedy of the commons, as long as there isn't a law against asbestos overcoats then ya I'll have to deal with that too, by the way I never said I don't avoid smokers or second hand smoke.
I lost weeks upon weeks of my life to that game on the Apple II...then years later I discoverd this thing called an emulator, and once again lost weeks upon untold weeks to that game...
I know it's trendy and all to bash apple, but they didn't "take on open source operating system, put a slick UI on it and call it their own?" per se. As the operating system is quite close to OpenStep, a company they bought..yadda yadda yadda. Point is they took the FreeBSD userland and ported that. Splitting hairs perhaps, but still the point remains.

Well I am are have hard time understanding what they are have said.
That and the fact that firefox isn't (or wasn't back when I read up on it) a GPL'ed project. Rather they use the MPL, (again IIRC).
Well it's a good thing they don't sell OS X for PC's Reatil isn't it? How exactly where you going to buy it anyway?

No POTS here, was considering it, but not after the whole NSA deal. At least they can only track my cell phone, eh?
