Uh, yeah... those boys in the Gulf are fighting to keep horrible prirates like this from hurting our precious RIAA... god bless the record labels, every one of them.
Suite yourself. Meanwhile, I kinda need to get work done in as efficent a way as possible, I really don't need to explore the wonders of Unity, figure out they're crap, and spend all my time getting back to where I need to be. Which I did anyway. Thanks for the sentiment. Enjoy your hell.
Fine and fine. Yeah, Apple does good thing in UI. But if gnome (or Fxce for me now) ever adopts that polymorphic single menu monstrosity for all apps style I will literally blow chunks and start using... hell, I'll use LXDE, PWM, anything else.
What I find hilarious is that you apparently think people who are too stingy to pay for their media will grudgingly do so anyway when piracy is made slightly more inconvenient...
"Piracy" is not inconvineinced in the least. And you really don't have to take my word for it, anyone in the security part of IT would know. That's the punchline to the whole DRM fiasco. Kind of like the TSA, it really only inconveniences you, the reader, the lowest in the pecking order in this whole clusterfuck.
The child's grandmother, Lori Croft, told The Associated Press that Brademeyer and her daughter, Isabella, initially passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident. The girl then ran over to briefly hug Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm, and that's when TSA agents insisted the girl undergo a physical pat-down.
Isabella had just learned about "stranger danger" at school, her grandmother said, adding that the girl was afraid and unsure about what was going on.
What we have here, gentlemen, is less about a failure to communicate. Thar be a storm a bewin...
This B.S. about being so concerned little kids are "security threats" because of a potential to strap a bomb to their body is just that.... utter paranoia.
Yeah. There's some of that. Cultural paranoia. Lower level inner-party members (middle management types) think that any security is a good thing, so turn a blind eye to civil outrages like this. But the people at the top of the American heap, the CEOs, the millionaires, they don't go through these check points.They have daughters too. "Not my child, private plane. Problem?". This is actually more a function of knee-jerk reponse by a civil beuracracy machinery that wears the blinders of political correctness. Take back your government machinery people. Its off a gear and running off its tracks to crush you.
Didn't skip it, There's a reply right there under yours. And I'll quote myself: I'm no microsoft booster. And YOU don't address the marketshare % I quoted, whch is plain fact. and my point.
I agree with eldavojohn; a good judge should never assume anything. He/She needs to hear the expert testimony on its own merits. Its the job of the prosecution and defense to refute whatever an opposing expert has to offer, not the judge.

...Ms American Pie.
Ridiculous argument.

Yeah, choosing a gui, that's rediculous. You haven't been into that Apple Kool-Aid, have you?
Ok, I get all that, but you can have gnome2 et al w/cinnamon.
I know. That's what I did first. Then I just went to the distro.
Unity is a hideous, three headed, monster baby. I can't really describe it in any better terms.
Fine and fine. Yeah, Apple does good thing in UI. But if gnome (or Fxce for me now) ever adopts that polymorphic single menu monstrosity for all apps style I will literally blow chunks and start using... hell, I'll use LXDE, PWM, anything else.
I'm in this camp. Switched to mint and its all good for me.
It's borderline Apple quality in terms of the overall experience.
HAD to inject that little bbit in there, didn't you? Fanbois...
Troll harder.
Nah. Not going back. Unity is too painful a recent memory. I'm with Mint now.
and it's attitudes like yours (and the entire caveat emptor set) that leave the upcoming (younger) individuals hanging out to dry.
Thus we have slashdot, and other outlets where people are free to express their opinions. no matter how jaded.
You don't know how business is done in E. Europe, do you?

This about who rules, people. Control. Pure and simple.

Yeah, calm down guy.

Ah, the Marketshare Myth that has never had any basis in reality.
You're gonna tell me Macs had better than a 9% market share at any best? Please begin in the space provided:
Easy enough to debunk with Microsoft's own products.
I'm not a microsoft booster, so say what you want. But don't tell me they don't run 90% of the pc's around.
Sun threatened us with a Java OS for years. Now that Oracle owns the tribe, well... don't hold yer breath.
Here we go, the patent troll merry-go-round...
