Is this because people writing crappy Flash-like pages are more concerned with satisfying any potential user of their site than banks are, or for some secret reason?
Most web developers don't care about supporting Macs. Good ones do, but a good web designer wouldn't be using Flash/Sparkle in the first place for 95% of the stuff it's used for.
Yes, but a price war did not, and never will, drive all of the airlines of out business.
The government bailed out the industry because they have powerful lobbyists, and because it's easy to make the argument that having all of the major airlines around is good for consumers and for other businesses that rely on air travel. If the government stayed out of it, some of the airlines would certainly fail, and the others would then have less competition and they'd be able to raise their prices and increase profits. Air travel would be more expensive, and most likely would serve fewer small cities, but there will always be people willing to pay for fast travel.
Sorry, essreenim! I didn't mean to get the details of a product that doesn't exist incorrect !!!
A google search for "radiation dampeners" returns 7 hits, all of which seem to have something to do with a role-playing game. "Radiation dampers" do exist, but they're used in ceilings to block heat radiation during a fire. Your spelling, "radiation dameners" returns no hits. In any case, when you develop the technology to run an electronic device powered by ambient EM fields, let me know !!
The nations and corporations now don't have enough IP addresses available for the huge number of orbital mind control lasers they need to get through tin foil hats. Once IPv6 is operational, you'll need a complete tin foil suit to protect yourself.
And you expect this high-powered jamming device to produce less EM "radiation" than cellphones? Good luck with that.
If you don't want to listen to people talking on the bus, don't ride the bus. If you use public transportation, you'll have to learn to live with the public.
Why would any conservative support open source, free software? A real conservative should believe that anything done for any reason other than to make a profit is necessarily wrong.
All fruits are vegetables, much like every other plant on the planet. If it's alive, it's not an animal, and you can see it without a microscope, it's a vegetable.
A better analogy to TV would be if RIAA started giving CDs away for free, but embedded ads into every track. Of course, with no way to track how many times a song is played, analogous to the TV ratings system, advertisers wouldn't go for it).
Expecting artists to sell ads for their songs is just ridiculous, and has nothing as all to do with how TV works. The production companies, writers, and actors don't work for ad revenue. They get paid by the networks for creating the shows, and the networks try to make money by selling ads when they show them. And the huge media corporations that own the networks can generate ad revneue a whole lot better than a million individual artists can. Do you expect each one to pay an agent and a few contract lawyers with the ad revenue generated by an unknown song on a P2P network?
Well, that might work for now (if you got everyone you want to receive email from to sign their mail), but eventually the spammers would just start signing all of their spam. I mean, as long as it's legal for them to spam you, why would they care if you can verify their identity?
Of course, once you can verify the identities of people sending you spam, you can build blacklists of verified spammers, but the overhead of checking someone's signature and then checking to see if they're a known spammer is a bit higher than just using a select group of DNSBLs.
Whitelisting verified senders you want to recieve from is another option, but I don't see that it's much more effective than whitelisting without signing; spam with forged senders is annoying, but unless you have a huge whitelist (or one that the spammers can steal), it's pretty unlikely for a spammer to randomly pick an address to send from that's on your whitelist.
Tell you what... you build a cluster of 32 bit machines connected with 100 Base T ethernet and come back and tell us how many more nodes you needed and what it cost you when you have one of the 5 fastest computers in the world.
They don't really need to worry about a hydrogen buildup, since the infinite energy they need to accelerate their infinite mass once they reach the speed of light is going to destroy the ship, along with the rest of the universe, the first time they do it.
Actually, economists (regardless of their political affiliations or how they feel about each sort of tax) use those terms. You see, they're technical terms, not politcal terms. Asshat.
Instead of choosing not to buy anything, you can choose to have no income.
Income taxes are progressive and sales taxes are the most regressive of taxes. You just like sales taxes more because you make a lot of money and, like all Republicans, you want the poor to pay to salaries of the policemen who keep them from coming to your house and taking all of your stuff.
No, they don't. You can set your IP address to anything you want and iTunes will happily continue to play your music. You can't buy new music or authorize your computer to play your purchased music if it's not already authorized, but your music does not disappear.
iTunes Music Store is also only available to users in the United States. It has nothing to do with credit cards either, they're not licensed to sell music outside of the US.
Actually, it checks for music you purchased and didn't download. If you delete the songs, it won't let you download them again. But feel free to just make up what you think a menu item does.

As one guy who was arrested for refusing to move to one of those zones put it, "I thought the whole country was a free speech zone."

MEDLINE returns 1642 articles matching the heading "Fatty Acids, Omega-3" since 1996. How many more studies do you need?
Unless they're installing their software on the computers used by members of congress, they're not lobbying by blocking pro-gun sites.
Until then, quit your trolling.

You should steal the gas too. The CEO of that oil company has a whole lot more money than MasterP.

Oh, and this would be at those Apple Stores in Australia that they secretly opened with absolutely no fanfare?
