    All he'd have to do to defeat Stallman claim his doughnuts were closed source and his stupid fat ass would end up starving to death instead of eating them. As an alternative, he could just move the box about 10 feet away from Stallman and he's starve anyway, since he probably couldn't roll over enough times to get to the doughnuts.

    No throwing stars needed, its far easier to use Stallman against himself than to put any real effort into it. He is his own worst enemy.

    In America you only go through all that screening if you are part of the general public flying on a public carrier.

    When I want to fly out of RDU, I simply drive to the airport, park, walk to my aircraft, and leave. I don't go through baggage screening, I don't go through security check points (other than confirmation that I do own an aircraft at the airport and am allowed to go out on the tarmac)

    Even at large American airports, you don't go through general security for your own aircraft, you drive out to your plane and get on.

    The only time you go through security is when you're getting near commercial carriers.

    Jobs wouldn't have a problem in the US as he never would have went through security to get on his own aircraft ... which he could have stocked with throwing stars in advance.

    Yea, its a great idea till you realize they probably don't have more than 200GB/s total data transfer capability out of their organizations infrastructure.

    So awesome, you and your friends can split a 1GB connection to the power companies network, where you'll be sharing 200GB of their bandwidth between several thousand other 1GB connections.

    This isn't a $350 for 1GB of available bandwidth all the time. Its $350 for bursting up to 1GB assuming they have the external bandwidth available, which will not happen very often if ever in the beginning and will certainly get worse as time goes on.

    You'll get 1GB rates sometimes ... and you'll pay extra after 100GB of transfer, effectively making all that bandwidth just pointless in practice and little more than great marketing.

    They provide 1GB connections because 'they can' and 'it makes a great thing to put on marketing materials' to suck people from the one other option in town (DSL probably), but you won't actually be able to use 1GB/s of bandwidth very often, its just not cost effective at that bandwidth.

    More complex today? Our house was bought because we signed some papers. Originally we didn't even have real income, just school loans.

    Have you ever tried to BUILD your own home? I haven't, but my father built 3. It is no trivial task. I can safely say that buying a home today is WAY easier than building one that I'd feel comfortable living in without worrying about it killing me when it collapsed.

    Buying a home or condo now is FAR easier than building one back then, all you have to do is not have BAD credit (yes, even today you can easily get financed with no credit history and no real source of income, I've seen it happen just this month) and you can get a home.

    Do you realize how much work went into constructing a simple 'log cabin'. They aren't really that simple and in most ways are more complex than current construction methods which take advantage of things like drywall and insulation rather than mud filling in the holes between the logs.

    It doesn't need to exist at all.

    You do realize we had whistle blowers before the Internet right?

    Whats better, they were generally referred to as journalists.

    Even better than that, MOST of them had the integrity to try really hard not to harm others in the process, so they'd filter out potentially damning details that would only harm innocents.

    It bothers me that people think Wikileaks is the solution to a problem. Wikileaks is simply a place for attention whoring. Thats why it can't be bothered with filtering and doing the right thing, if it was filtered down to reasonable and only 'bad' information, they'd have far far fewer documents to publish.

    Instead, they spew them all and claim 'hundreds of thousands of documents to be released' rather than '100 emails that show foul play between these people'.

    Wikileaks isn't about doing the right thing, its about sensationalism and an Australian with an attention disorder. If you think for one instant its about actually righting the wrongs, you're mistaken.

    You ignorant fucks keep saying this, but there is no video that show soldiers enjoying the slaughter as if it is a game where they thought they were killing unarmed civilians.

    Either put up a video that shows this bullshit or stop claiming it. The 'collateral murder' video doesn't show anything like you're describing. The only reason you would pretend such an ignorant statement is true is because you've never watched the video and are just going by what someone else told you to further their agenda. If you have seen the video and you think this, you're just an ignorant moron blinded by politics and angst.

    Next time you watch the video, actually listen to the audio, and not the narration and subtitles telling you what to think. Think for yourself and you won't present yourself as being such a moron.

    My blood boils rather often when reading stupid tripe like yours. You know what pisses me off more than the news trying to get me to believe their political agenda by biasing the 'news' they give me? Its idiots like yourself who rage against the machine so hard you end up doing the EXACT SAME IGNORANT SHIT that you're angsty outrage is directed at.

    Do something about the real problems, and just because some douche bag with a website says 'this is the way it happened' doesn't mean you should trust what he says and base your entire opinion on the subtitles before the actual evidence is presented.

    Again, this is the important part here ...

    For the guys making the jailbreaks its about who gets the attention for doing it. Who broke through Apples walled garden.

    Thats why you hear about and see these exploits make it into the wild before the OS itself is released, because they don't have the patients to hold off until after its been released.

    Its the same reason idiots go into the Apple store and jailbreak phones, its all about attention, nothing more.

    The jail breaking community is pretty good at fucking itself over. Jailbreakme.com is a shining example of out right stupidity. Publish a big, obviously bad exploit on the web and make sure it gets media attention ... I never could have guessed Apple would immediately turn out a point release to fix the exploit since now its clear to everyone (hacker or otherwise) that you can get into the phone easy and do whatever you want.

    Jail breakers are Apples best security team, their arrogance and constant need to have someone be impressed with their work means Apple gets to just watch them and get notified of exploits as soon as they are found. To me, their behavior is a clear indication that mommy needs to give them more attention and at least a little common sense.

    Ive used many condoms in my day, I'm not even sure how one would "break" the condom on purpose while its in use.

    One of those statements is a lie. It takes all of about 3 seconds to figure out lots of ways to cause a condom to fail prematurely, the easiest of which is reading the box which tells you explicit things NOT TO DO in order to get it to not break. I'm going to bet you haven't even opened a box.

    I think you're blaming the women in an attempt to clear your boy's name.

    That is not rape.. that is her being too dry

    You do realize that most of the time women are 'too dry' because they don't want to have sex with you? The vagina is nice and self lubricating ... when its receptive. And for the women who that isn't the case, they also know to bring lube ... its as standard practice as wearing a condom for them. I'm going to have to assume you really don't have that much experience with women, but you go ahead and tell us how it is and we'll pretend you know what you're talking about.

    I suppose its possible that the condom was tampered with prior to being used but that kinda implies that he intended to break before hand.

    Oh ... you mean like ... he caused it to ... BREAK ON PURPOSE?

    Seriously, what is so hard to understand about the charges at hand? Guilty or not I don't know, but its REALLY easy to see him as capable of doing it as it certainly isn't hard to do ... especially for anyone who's had sex enough to have a few condoms actually break.

    Of course, the reality of it is, its also pretty much instantly noticeable that the condom broke for both man and woman. I've never had or heard of a condom breaking that wasn't immediately clear to both parties involved, it does tend to feel more than slightly different, you might find out what its like one day. You might want to start with reading the box to find some fairly reliable ways to break condoms.
