Go live in another western country. Pick one, it doesnt matter which, that country will have more civil liberties than you who live in the (laughable) Land Of The Free.
I started to read your comment but had to give up in abject frustration due to your utter lack of the use of the Shift key.
Im sure you made some fantastic points that will make people stop and think, and then write out ( properly formatted ) well thought out replies to your post.
But those points were lost in the sea of lowercase letters that you typed out.
I mean come on guys, how hard is it to proof-read a submission before you post it to the front page?
Is it really that hard to read it and see that the grammar needs fixing? Is it that hard to insert the missing word "that" in the second sentence?
This reflects poorly on the quality of the people who work for Slashdot. This is 2011, basic spelling and grammar checks are just a few mouse clicks away.
Of course, you are 100% correct. Its blatantly obvious to anyone with at least half a brain, that if you do not currently have the ability to refine crude oil, it is therefore impossible to reverse engineer some avionics....even a 4 month old child could have figured this out.
So you are telling me that everybody who "hates" iPads have a fixation on netbooks and hate the tablet formfactor.
Silly Troll! You base your weak fanboism on false assumptions.
There are other tablets than the iPad, it is not the only one ( sorry to break your bubble dude ) I wouldnt buy an iPad because I dont think its worth the cost for what it can ( and cannot ) do. The fact its an Apple device, with all its attendant vendor control and lockin, is not the sole reason I wouldnt buy one. I simply do not have a need that is not already covered with my current devices.
If I wanted a Tablet, the iPad would not be the only one on my list.
He made a mistake, which can be easily corrected with some re-education.
Tibet was always part of China, so technically, they did not invade another country. The military only turned up because they heard that the scenery was particularly pretty, most especially at sunrise.
And why should they pay tax? tax money can be used to help other people! How dare they!
Helping people other than me, and without my consent, sounds too much like socialism. Dirty, dirty socialism.
And every God fearing American knows that socialism is a sin, and therefore is the work of the DEVIL!!
And prey tell, who exactly should good American Citizens put their trust in? GOD, that's who, ( the Christian one ), just as it says in the constitution, the courts, and more importantly, on American currency.
So companies are doing America a favour by not committing the sin of paying taxes. Amen!

"... screen is for a _NEW_ iOS device..." So you are saying that the iphone 5 is not a new IOS device? really?
"... If you're going to rumour-monger, at least get the rumours right..." So you are admitting that you work for Apple, and have just given out forbidden information? Because unless you actually work for Apple, and are privy to their iphone5 plans, you are just as clueless as everybody else as to Apple's design plans for the iphone.
"I'm a massive Apple fanboi and proud to admit it" I should have stopped reading at that point instead of falling for the obvious Troll. Oops.
How exactly are you going to stop people accessing a JTAG port on the FPGA? JTAG has been around for donkeys years, and there are many open source JTAG interfaces availiable for a low cost, or that you can build yourself.
If you ban or restrict the sale of commercial programmers, you cant stop somebody building their own from current open source designs.

Oh well, onto the next post.
Wealth is power. The true power in your country is possessed by the wealthy, not the president. You live in a dream world.
Cool story bro. But this is what happens when you take figures of speech literally.
Modern electric motors can be almost 99% efficient at turning electrical energy into mechanical energy.
OK, ill bite.
Inductive charging is not energy-efficient.
Who is the idiot now?
Yes? You called?
I wish I could mod you up to +6 insightful.
Well said.

A corporation is NOT a psychopath.
Corporations are not humans. They are companies.
Dude. Logic. Use it.

Nothing, because Wolly Park just doesnt sound scary.
Who?
LOL, you fanbois are so funny.

WE the West?
As a non American and non Israeli, I find that pretty damn insulting.
You three can have your little spat, but leave the rest of us Western countries out of it.
Exactly!!!
Laws? Bah!, Laws are for the weak.
America is not weak!
They did Bad Things! This gives us the right to do whatever we want!
seewhatididthere?
Gotta love the American mindset.
Yep, they single-handedly won the WORLD war ( just like they always win the World Series ).
Im sure that the rumours that other Allied countries were involved is just that...rumour.

May the Dear Leaders live forever.
Since when was the cost of munitions ever a factor in US military thinking?
And why should they pay tax? tax money can be used to help other people! How dare they!

Because you swore at the moderator.
What? You think people like being sworn at?
*shakes head*

He doesnt. He gets qualifications first, then he gets hired.
