You have a point but I would rather talk about wars not about terrorism because wars killed million of people. As for lightning there's not much we can't do about it, unless you prefer to walk in Faraday cages for the rest of your life -- btw, I assume that caged terrorists cannot be hit by lighting...
Roomba was a pretty big success in America. Americans are very practical, they want something that works, they won't go for some humanoid robot that doesn't do anything useful.
I agree, I also think it's a bad interpretation, it's not "rationalization" I think it's just memory, once you are forced to make a decision you remember that decision and you simple are consistent with your last decision.
"They're going to throw Darl out of a plane, strapped to a large chunk of heavy metal?"
Would it make any difference if they'd strap him to a chunk of light metal? I thought this was elucidated around 1500 By Galileo or probably somebody else...
Who cares that I can buy 3 embeded PC instead of 1 computer, I am free to choose whatever fits my needs best, but I can't buy a new Mac because I don't have the money -- that was my original point.
All I know is that I can buy a $300 machine, I don't care if it doesn't have all the features a Mac has, which BTW I might not need, and install Linux on it and have all I need -- the cheapest Mac I can find comes with double the price. How can you convince me that a Mac is not more expensive? It's like you'd try to convince me that a Mercedes is not more expensive than a Ford... heck, I can afford only a Ford and I don't need all the Mercedes features -- or not for that price, so... again how a Mercedes is not more expensive that Ford?! You can claim that is better, but you can't show that is not more expensive.
Why pay a premium price for Apple if you don't even intend to use OS X, and if you intend to use Windows you are going to pay separately for Windows and that's more than different OEMs would charge you for having Windows pre-installed.
"But this patent was granted to Xerox, NOT "IP Innovation LLC". So why the hell is this 3rd party suing over a patent it wasn't granted?"
Because people/corporations can sell patents like any other goods and why shouldn't they? Yes, this kind of patents suck booty, but that's a different discussion.
For what is worth I'm going to e-mail them now and tell them that I was considering buying an iPhone up to this point. I am not even asking for "Linux support" I ask only for the decency of not screwing things up -- on purpose.
"who never really bothered to understand the ideology behind the GPL" I beg to differ, he understood the idiology because he's not stupid, he just doesn't care for it.

"Peacefully Occupy. Orwell would be proud."
That's called "Occupeace".
How about our freedom to meddle in Middle East if we consider that morally correct? Don't they hate that freedom?

Maybe it sucked and blew at the same time...

"but what is the "B" word?"
Ballmer?

In this kind of situations Google is your friend, just try "define: SKU"
Bottom line, I have $300, can I buy a new Mac?

Obviously you don't know anything about computers and history of computing... and you are an ass.

It might work in Wine, but I doubt it.
Wouldn't it make sense that Pakistanis use the PAKs?
Did they sue God too?
That's because it makes sense, as long as it matters what is the possition of the post people will try to exploit that.
So, I guess you say Windows should behave like Linux? Wow, and I've been told that Linux is safe only because is not popular enough to be a target...
That's actually an interesting calculation, would 30,000 songs, 250,000 pictures or 13 million emails fit in that 4 TB? I doubt it.

"Wubi [...] does the same for Ubuntu. It works by installing Ubuntu to a file on the Windows partition."
No it doesn't, this installer installs Debian on normal Linux partition not to a file.
You must be new here...
"...I cant see how anyone on /. would ever object."
Why would people who use Linux, BSD, and Macs would even care? If you use that you deserve what you get...
