I liked the "it IS running real OSX, as apple calls it OSX, so it's OSX, and it's real" argument. Flawless. No hint of partiality there what-so-ever. Straight-shootin' som' bitch that guy is. Never, ever distorts anything. Serious Pulitzer material there. Come out of retirement then suck it, Dan Rather.
... is ahead, but less advanced. From the article it seems the Loughborough one can create more complicated designs, and include all the functional aspects of the house (ducts, etc.). It takes longer, but you actually get a house after it's done:)
"The draft" is just slang for conscription. Attributing it to socialism only serves to make you look a bit crazy. Like if you were to claim to have invented the question mark, or that Lenin is hiding in your toilet trying to steal your butt secrets.
How is conscription the worst kind of slavery? It's not forever, you get paid, you are protected from harm by those in command of you, and in most (developed) countries if you have a good reason to not fight (ie religious), then you don't.
Emotive arguments usually work better if they even make the slightest bit of sense. But then you're a Libertarian, so sense is clearly not your forté.
I hope the Open Graphics project is successful too, but unless they get tens of millions of dollars every year, and regular access to a time machine, they'll *never* be able to provide competative drivers. All they would end up doing is providing open drivers for the age-old cards no longer supported by the closed binary drivers, and maintaining them for new OSs.
Those samples were attributed to the original artists. They didn't steal James Brown music and pass it off as their own - Timbaland didn't sample, he stole. That's different. How is this Nelly Furtado track supposed to show people the music of the demoscene when it's not attributed to it?
First of all, Dangermous openly said he was sampling the work of other artists, and it was painfully obvious who they were. That is very different to using a track from another artist and claiming it as your own.
It doesn't "work", though. Metric/SI was designed to make inter-unit calculation as easy as possible. Imperial measurements don't work - they're crippled when compared to metric. Familiarity is no reason to hold society back.
Cisco *has* to challenge Apple. It owns the trademark. Apple has essentially agreed Cisco's ownership of iPhone is legit by talking to them about it. If Cisco didn't challenge it, their claim to it would become tenuous. We know this from every single time a trademark dispute is on slashdot. Trying to guess the motives of companies is pointless, and only serves to nicely illustrate your leanings.
Apple are NOT a hardware company. They're an "experience" company. They package together hardware and software, and through the wonder of synergy, sell a box that does a lot, for a price that is a lot. That's what apple does. It's not about hardware OR software.
Because they sell experiences, they have to control what goes on as much as a marketing agency controls what goes on in adverts - and for the same reason - brand protection. They need to ooze the feeling that you're getting so much more with Apple than with another computer-type-box from somewhere else. If the experience they're selling is tarnished, even slightly, that's a massive dent in the only real thing they're selling. For an example - that's why they initially said iPods don't work with Windows, when they have from day one. They err on the side of caution, as their reputation is the only thing other companies can't develop with their own R&D spending. Fashion is weird like that:)
Because your prejudice against Microsoft means, in your mind at least, that they can never, ever do anything good..? Fantastic. The reason you're experiencing the cognitive dissonance is fanboyism:)
If you read the page, you'd see they are suggesting using Tor. Also, the wiki is not for editing of the documents, but discussing them. Again, if you'd read the article, all of this is made painfully obvious.
It's his product, he gets to say how it's used, and what restrictions come with it. Don't like it? Buy something else - bitching about Steve being a bad man is not winning the argument:) You are not entitled to everything the way you want it to be, as this is reality, and that simply can't happen.
You don't deserve to be hiring anyone if that's your "research". How do you know it's the same guy? Are unique names mandatory in your town? "Innocent until proven guilty" springs to mind, and you're clearly no judge.
And even if it did curry favour, do you think that has anything to do with this? You have to understand that the decision for firmware-based drivers is a no-brainer for most manufacturers, simply because it keeps costs down and doesn't affect 90% of the market. It doesn't matter if that 90% wants monkey turds on sticks - if they want it, they'll get it. But I guess as it's Microsoft, it must be their bidding that everyone else is doing, and there can't be any understandable reason behind anyone doing any of this, apart from Gates's evil of course:)
Because how does OSX know that the application isn't going to want to display more information than that? What if the application's display is stretchy, and can accomodate any size? The operating system sticking its oar in is bound to get in the way at some point. As for your problem with windows, as others have said, just resize the window manually. Windows does exactly the same as OSX with regard to resizing windows, it just doesn't assume it knows better than you do.

Libertarian much?

Or maybe we just stop making enemies? No-one trying to blow up these bases, no problem.

Apple provide the nVidia drivers, not nVidia. This bug is apple's problem, so wailing on nVidia is pretty pointless.

The issue is not one of piracy, but stealing the works of others and passing them off as your own. Two obviously different problems.

oops!

Don't think Lucas isn't working on this one.It's his product, he gets to say how it's used, and what restrictions come with it. Don't like it? Buy something else - bitching about Steve being a bad man is not winning the argument :) You are not entitled to everything the way you want it to be, as this is reality, and that simply can't happen.
No. Not at all. But thanks for trying to take part in the conversation.
Wouldn't it be possible to have a waiver they could sign? That way you could call them a retarded starfish in a bucket of shit and they couldn't sue.

It is being sold in the US, so "paranoid and macho" might be spot-on :-P
"They"? Get real.
By your logic, if living standard is proportional to a country's cleanliness, the US doesn't pollute... clearly something's up :)
