... this would be called a security vulnerability and if it was MS/Sony you'd all be screaming for a class action.
but because it's apple, the fanboys put a spin on it to seem like a good thing.
and another thing - why the fuck waste all this effort on the iphone when there are other devices out there that don't require this hack and patch dick size contest?
As far as i was aware no one really knows why easter island was abandoned? so it's not a great analogy to use.
"Third, problems occur when they occur. To say they never occur because they didn't occur 2 decades ago is just plain nonsense."
no it's nonsense to claim something which has been the status quo for decades (england importing most of it's food) is suddenly going to become a major problem for no reason.
"Global warming has nothing to do with the end of cheap oil"
HA! not if the cult and it's carbon credits insanity is implemented. The idea that oil is going to dry up in 5 years is just nonsense. I hear crap like this all the time (i work in the resources industry) and i just shake my head and laugh.
all of these problems would have occurred 2 decades ago if they were a real problem. we aren't running out of oil anytime soon inspsite of what the rabid global warming nutters want you to think. most of the price rises are due to artificial restrictions on supply.
most reputable models point to a leveling out of the worlds population at 10 billion. personally seeing as we are at 6.6billion now i think we will pass that point by another 5.
The reason we will peak is because if it wasn't for immigration developed countries would have had a negative growth rate, that coupled with the AIDS virus and effective birth control. poor countries will develop and large families will not be needed anymore.

no doubt there will be alarmists that claim there is already too many people in the world, but that's their bullshit code for "we are more important than everyone else"
not even close to what i was saying, but i'm going to give you a special gold star anyway, like the one they give to retarded kids even if they finish last.
there won't ever be any android phones, android is a PLATFORM for phones. and android will beat iphone because it focuses on the developer, i don't really give a fuck if it becomes the market leader, i just want a better mobile platform.
hopefully this will be it. then i can crack a beer, sit back and enjoy the nerd rage as apple fans go into great detail as to why their status symbol is so much better.
places like TPB thrive not because people won't pay for content (ok some never will, but most will), itunes is an example of how successful downloads can be. TPB thrives because people can download whatever they want, when they want and not wait for media outlets to get around to releasing it in their region.
for example australia is months behind on most tv shows, but 1 hour after it's aired in the USA it can be downloaded in hidef 5.1 sound.
I think the core problem is this has totally changed the playing field for tv networks and their directors just don't know how to cope.
"First of all, it was the late 60's, not the 70's"
yeah wow that makes it all better.
"What was Israel supposed to do other than pre-emptively attack?
yeah right they had no choice but to ignore ALL diplomatic attempts and just start killing people. the arabs were no threat to them at all, the israelis knew it, it was a blatant land grab.
yes the other arab states are greedy bastards, but the problem is still that israel has no business invading other countries and bulldozing peoples houses down for jewish settlements.
if you want to talk statistics lets look at 40 deaths in 28 years. given the number of nut jobs police face each say (and yes it's a lot more then anyone thinks) 1.4 deaths a year is incredibly low. the chances that they were anything other then self defence is nil.
and don't talk to me about tazers or pepper spray. they don't put crazy's and druggies down.
The idea sounds better then it is. in execution the show was slow and dull, with robots always getting stuck or unable to land the killing blow.
maybe if it got some funding behind it and some interesting idea's came out of it it's be more fun, but the designs are all predictable and revolve around the overhead axe or a flipping motion.
just load up a nice big picture of goatse on your background, or maybe some tubgirl.
if enough people did it TSA agents would quickly lose their taste for looking at our laptops.
on a more serious note, has there ever been a record of someone attempting to sneak a bomb onto a plane via a laptop? no? then pay attention to real dangers pls just for once.
10 euros a day equats to about 16 - 18 AUD per day.
that's fucking expensive no matter how you look at it. now i'm sure in telecom land that figure sounds nice, but hell will freeze over before anyone other then the really stupid or rich will pay that.

it's just taking longer. your on crack if you think sdtv is as good as hdtv

if you really think there are too many people in the world, then why not shoot yourself right now and stop contributing to the problem?
canada, they tax blank cd sales for it. it's also worth noting many other countries also tax blank cd's.
shame shame shame.

by modding me troll, you are only proving my point.
hopefully this will be it. then i can crack a beer, sit back and enjoy the nerd rage as apple fans go into great detail as to why their status symbol is so much better.
you fail right there. who decides who "needs" to be killed.
you sir, win at the internet.
But i certainly wouldn't want him in congess. shudder

.... is more opertunities for people to talk, because frankly the internet has shown my that people mostly talk shit.

this is the solution, and the ONLY solution that will end the violence.

your free to say what you like, but you have to be prepared to take responsibility for it.
why are you ok with this? all of your arguments simply support the negative aspects of this article yet someone claim they are a good thing.
