So is your post. I was taught to use capital letters and punctuation.
I do so love a poorly written post decrying the intelligence of people that don't share the same taste as the author. There's nothing like reading a little undeserved snobbery to make me happy.
we shouldn't even bother with trials or even investigations. Heck, if it's likely someone committed a crime and is a viable suspect, of course they did it!
You've made a logical fallacy in your comparison - trials and investigation of a criminal nature are rights-protected and performed by the government. Your example is of two private parties negotiating a transaction. The situations are drastically different, so your rhetoric is void.
Your remedy in this situation is to not buy Apple products. What happened to you, however, is not only improbable, but contrary to most user's experiences. You can't be shocked if people don't line up behind you.
Treating customers like this is unpardonable
They apparently treated a customer like this. You have my sympathy, but you are an anomaly. Nobody gets them all right. Apple should have done better by you, but I don't see how you can force that particular outcome.
I'm sorry, are you trying to tell me that people who choose to have children when they can't afford to ('necessitating' the second job, which is likely actually motivated by greed and desires to possess piles of shit) are somehow victims of society? Grow up. You chose to reproduce. It's not my responsiblity to make raising your spawn simpler. Those are your consequences, which you brought upon yourself. Keep that in mind when you think I owe you some assistance. Those kids didn't magically appear in the crib one day, brother.

I gotta say, given the track record of people on this site ("I'm moving to Canada if Bush wins! Seriously! As long as it's not too inconvenient!") I'd be surprised if you had the courage of your convictions. Of course, you posted AC. You probably don't have much courage in the first place.
This may not be the perfect solution; but you shouldn't, in general, pass up better to wait for perfect.
But what about this case, where we're talking about passing up awful to wait for useful?
I don't want the responsibility of raising your kids. I don't care how hard a job you think it is - you were free to not fuck back when you spawned the little hellions. Now it's your problem. I will reject every effort you put forth to share that responsibility.
You don't like my attitude? Too bad. I don't have children because I don't want to deal with these issues. I made the responsible choice already. I don't have to deal with the consequences of your poor parenting skills.
The problem is, building and designing already have different meanings in software, and it's not useful to make confusing statements. Sure, 'architecting' is an ugly word, but your suggested replacements don't cover the activity of creating an architecture the same way.
I can't agree with you on that. Microsoft's windowing system is less featureful, but it's very usable. Aside from expose in OS X, I prefer Windows for its cleanliness and consistency over every other platform.
In any case, coding applications to run in a browser is a proposition with less risk and faster turnaround than pretty much every other platform, so it definitely has some advantages over just doing 'X' everywhere.
I've not yet seen a reason to have the.xxx domain. I'm not opposed, per se, but I have a hard time understanding the point to it. It seems more like a fun hot button to oppose the US. If that's the case, cool, enjoy tilting at that particular windmill.
I have an even better idea - let them continue as baby factories, but export the excess children to be burned as fuel in first world countries. It solves a number of problems all at the same time.
Wow, you really suck. Screaming, spewing anecdotal evidence, appealing to emotion - you apparently were never taught how to make a point properly. In your case it would probably help to have a point to make, of course, but we can ignore that for the purposes of this comment.
I know what's worse - that there are tolerance police who feel they must control people's opinions through any means necessary. It's really annoying when I'm not allowed to dislike something without being labeled a throwback.
Keep the politics out of the tech discussions. It devolves into pointless flamewars nine times out of ten, and that's fucking annoying. It has no place here.
we can dance around each other all night with this one, my response could go something along the lines of the fact that acting morally again relies on the subjective nature of morality. Even common agreement as to a basis of morality doesn't make that morality objective, simply agreed upon.
In any case, the moral nature of providing more choice to consumers is definitely up in the air. Particularly in this case, since we're talking about entertainment, which is about as far from a need as you can get.
I liked philosophizing a lot better when I was a drug user.

"barding for the player mount" suggests lubing up the genitals to me, for whatever reason.
its a testament to poor education

No, you must believe. It's scientifical! It's slashdot doctrine! Any technique used to validate it is, by definition, valid.
Hahah the humorless truth-suppressors have demonstrated their true love for freedom of speech - they love any speech they agree with.
Do your worst, dirty mod-point wielding humorless slashbots.
Now I can propogate my terrorism plans more efficiently, all while finding exciting new sources of kiddy porn.
That's pretty funny. Sorry you got modded down, although it was inevitable.
That could be why it wasn't included in the list of failed formats. Nah, that makes too much sense. Must be a conspiracy of some sort.

I think it oughta handle things just fine.

Thanks for the explanation. I was busy finding the joke funny. I needed someone to come along and ruin it like that so I could get more work done.

But just because something is legal, doesn't mean you can't be arrested, convicted, and go to jail for it!
You got some splainin to do

So your answer is to sterilize the poor?

I've been getting more into math lately because it's useful and almost completely free of the nonsense going on within 'culture' these days.
Reading that made me sad.
I think I love you

I love when I get to quote the FAQ twice in one day.
