Heres an idea.. instead of wasting everyones time here how about you do something constructive. Write Joan Jett a detailed letter and explain to her that "LOVE" is in fact not an actual battlefield. Or you could go to your local college and take a class on not being a nitt picking control freak douchbag.
I was responding to the GP that asked for an explanation. In context, my response was precise and even requested. Yours was neither.
You could stop being a pissant, and on top of everything else, at least get your references right. That's Pat Benatar. Joan Jett had "I hate myself", which seems truly appropriate.
generally unlawful activities were they to occur without a war, such as taking of land, removing people, depriving people of necessities
oh, and more violence
Do you see any of that in (normal) business? Does Microsoft go out and kill Yahoo employees? Does Microsoft go over and destroy the Google data center? For that matter, does Microsoft even create a virus to infiltrate the Google data center? (ok, you could consider a windows PC as a virus, but we're talking actively here)
Saying "Business is War" is a Reductive Fallacy. Sure, there are elements common to both business and war, much as there is in a game of tag and war, or even going to the store. It doesn't mean that any of those are war.
Seriously, if I had to move to the US, I would not make a single contract with *anyone*, unless I would have written it myself, including all the terms and conditions. Even if that would mean no phone, Internet, apartment or anything. I’m already wary of making contracts here in Germany.
You would likely be living on the streets here then. Everything's a contract. Housing, services, everything that's not a pure tangible item that you can carry away, and even some of those have contracts associated with them, whether for warranties or perhaps things like EULAs.
"But if their policy is to screw their customers at every turn, they will lose me as a customer."
That's business, and business is war. The business wants to take as much customer money as possible, and the customer wants as much product or service as possible.
Of course they try to fuck us, we should try to expose that in detail, and to fight back by voting with our sweet, sweet wallets.
I agree that there is little if not zero "tower-to-handset" bandwidth cost for SMS messaging.
However, SMS (and MMS) messaging does depend on all that infrastructure that's in place, and by providing SMS services, the telcos are required to reliably route and deliver the messages around the world. That message handling and routing certainly has a cost, and therefore I believe that providers have a right to fairly pass on a portion of the cost of their infrastructure investments (plus a fair profit) to the users of SMS services.
You are incorrect. There is no guarantees on SMS. In fact, AT&T doesn't even honor the SMS delivery notification flag, which is a requirement of the spec (you get notified only after the message has been received by the handset). This is a requirement of MMS, which is why AT&T did not get that until recently because their network did not support it. From out of network, they sent a response as soon as it hit their network. I don't know what in-network response was, but Blackberry owners were complaining that while Cingular used to have this functionality, after AT&T's takeover it was removed.
It looks like the buyout by Amazon does predate Friendster and MySpace... though to be honest, there's no way in hell this should pass any "obvious" test.
None of that matters. They didn't file until 2008. Therefore... anything existing before 2008 is prior art.
I don't rely on the patent to create the content as I do that.
Well, that's a bit silly. Of course you rely on the patent, since you rely on the device, which is patented.
So a typewriter is patented. Does the owner of the typewriter patent own my content? How about the printing press patent that printed my work? Or the patent holder of the radio (assuming there's just one) that plays my work. Or the television?
As long as religion does not influence science, they can coexist. When religion influences science because of contradictions science causes in beliefs, then generally no, religion cannot coexist with science.
I don't rely on the patent to create the content as I do that. I don't even need to rely on the patented algorithm to edit or produce the content, nor to even burn it to a disc for viewing on a standard player.
SS and Medicare are not only for those that paid into them. They're general safety nets that also cover those unfortunates that never could earn any money.
Im sure his hotfix and one man testing matches MS's extensive testing. Seriously, do you think any company would just release this fix immediately without serious testing?
I'm sure this was tongue in cheek. I'd safely bet there's a whole lot of "one man testing" that far exceeds MS's lack of testing based on these types of stories that keep coming out about MS's lack of quality control. After all, isn't MS the company known for selling software and letting their customers beta test it?
As for MS releasing the fix? How hard is it to test something when you've been pointed to the flaw, given all the test conditions, and the fix, and it's in a relatively small piece of code? Granted, the folks that wrote it are probably long gone....
it's itunes,ipod and such that is driving their sales.
iTunes? Really? Have they hit 2B songs sold yet? At what? Just over $1 a song, which is revenue only, not profit?
iPods? We just stated that they sold 5X iPods compared to Macs. What's the average price of each again?
In terms of revenue alone it looks like iTunes is way down the scale compared to iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
i'd rather use my debian machine, windows machine(gaming) and my maemo OS N900 nokia and on all three of them i can install what i wish not what Mr Jobs marketing plan tells me i can and cannot do.
I also have windows installed on my MBP, although I now only run it in a VM. Haven't tried installing Linux in anything other than a VM.
and yes in terms of what this thread is about apples numbers on desktops are insignificant and OSX Server.. gimme a break.
Worldwide, somewhere around 250M or so PCs will be sold this year, around 10M of which will be Macs.
That is less than 5%, it's true. I couldn't get relative numbers just for the US, N. America or Europe. (We won't mention anything speculative like longevity differences between the two and what the effect is on the install base)
Who said anything about OSX Server?
apple.. yeah nice designs but that still doesn't hide the ugliness of their lockin plan my man
They don't work very hard at it. For example, I own an iPod, but no iTunes account.
The CALs are at least $35 each last time I looked at the pricing, by themselves in the corporate world (Exchange and NT/Whatever the standard is). There are others that add on to that. MS also gets some cash for the OS itself, and they don't pay for support on OEM OS licenses.
And the "low-end" Mac is the Mac Mini. iMac is mid-level.

I'll bet they could even get people to pay for that!

Let's see, the 3G version:
Speaker: check
Microphone: check
Camera: check
Wait!!! It's a videophone!
I was hearing Billy Thorpe myself.

OK, last time I checked, war involved:

I will second this. PDFs are THE solution for printing, or even sharing strictly formatted documents, even electronically.
I like my Samsung as much as you can like a printer. It's clean, fast, and quiet and for a networked 2510ND for <$45, I can't complain.
I would not buy their 315 color laser, maybe the 610 but it's huge.
If Facebook came afterward, then Facebook is not prior art.
1) Facebook existed prior to the 2008 filing.
2) ideas aren't patentable - or shouldn't be.

Please explain to me how it's possible for someone to live to the Social Security retirement age and never earn any money?
mental illness for one, and doesn't even require you to live to the retirement age to collect.
I don't rely on the patent to create the content as I do that. I don't even need to rely on the patented algorithm to edit or produce the content, nor to even burn it to a disc for viewing on a standard player.
Social insurance and spaceflight are not mutually exclusive.
I imagine if you swap two wars for a space program, we could be halfway to Mars by now (at least).
ok, I'd go for that. I wish we could do that.
Or even just 1 war, the one we didn't need to be in in the first place.
SS and Medicare are not only for those that paid into them. They're general safety nets that also cover those unfortunates that never could earn any money.
Personally I'd like to add at least a second spaceship.
Interesting. Since when does patent override Copyright on pure content?

Code injection into a system DLL is possible as a regular user.
Repeatedly saying something doesn't make it true.
Please provide a source for your claim. If you can't, you should apologize for posting bullshit and retract your statement.
