The documents show that the US government works with all kinds of despots and dictators, regardless of what we think of them. This was true in Tunisia before the revolt, the same is true of Egypt. It's not so far fetched to think that bringing that to light might contribute civil unrest in those countries, as their citizens would feel betrayed by their government. It's too bad a similar uprising has not happened here. It doesn't matter whether the law requires full disclosure or not, allowing the government to act secretly without accountability is a bad idea. The strong rarely need protection.
I don't really care what people know about me (maybe I should, but I don't). I'm not going to go out of my way to make that information available, but I will give it to anyone who asks and has a good reason. I have a good reason to want to know what the government is doing with my tax dollars. If they are crooked, I need to know that. I am a share-holder and the US government represents me. I don't want to see innocent people killed in my name using my tax dollars, and that's exactly what the military documents show.
I don't think it's reasonable to say that one man's self-immolation automatically disqualifies all the other contributing factors. Bradley manning is a whistle-blower, he brought to light all kinds of military and government corruption. We have a strong tradition of that in the US, because most of us don't believe our government is beyond reproach. So I think maybe you are the traitor, since you are putting your government and military above our nation's best interest and above any sense of decency and fairness, and above any practice of transparency and full disclosure. Your blatant disregard for the truth, in that you want it to remain hidden, is disgusting.
Other people built mp3 players before, but none were functional like the iPod. Others had built phones before, but again, nothing like the iPhone. And people have built tablets before, but they were overpriced and completely useless. Henry ford didn't build the first car, would you call him a copy cat? What you're claiming here is inane and pointless. Copycats are people who see ideas and duplicate them with out adding any significant improvement on the original (like the android phones and tablets, and the zune MP3 player). Apple makes ideas work. That is the difference.
I don't think they were able to use it against "Lindows" but that word isn't "Windows". If apple made an operating system called "Windows" tomorrow, Microsoft could win a trademark suit again them. Also, this is a registered trademark, so it's not just Microsoft claiming it, they own it.
May I recommend also shuttering the company and all the companies like it, and the US government? How is it okay to use intimidation to try to prevent the release of incriminating documents? Moving on from that should mean reversing course. Does anybody care that the US government operates with fewer scruples than the mafia? This is insane.
That would be a fair complaint for a movie set in Indonesia, but I don't think many movies are. Many (most?) are set in the United States, so it's not weird that they'd be using macs.
Business ventures should not be taxed. Taxes are about accounting, letting people know the cost of government services so they know whether or not they're getting what they pay for. You don't want people to think they're getting a free ride when they're not. Businesses aren't really people, and they don't have feelings, and even if they did, they can't vote. It makes no sense to tax businesses unless your intention is to hide the cost of government services from the people who are ultimately paying for them.
Sorry about that. I am a chemical engineer, so I tend to think of specific entropy as the only type worth discussing. Of course, generally entropy is an extensive property.
When Apple talks, it actually means something, unlike the empty promises made my other technology companies.
It's because Apple doesn't announce products months or years before they are released. They only announce them when they are sure they'll have a product to ship. All you hear from other companies is hyped up initial announcements followed by delays and retracted features. From Apple you hear about new products that will actually ship as promised. It's not because Apple is better at shipping quality products on schedule (though they are). It's because they don't go on blabbing about every new technology they have in the works years before a working prototype has even seen the light of day.
It sounds great on paper (haha) but in practice, despots and bankers have an easy time using their ability to control the value of the currency to essentially rob anyone who uses that currency (think of Zimbabwe). Thankfully, we haven't seen a lot of that in the US, but it could happen. Of course, the value of gold can be manipulated too, but it's harder to do.
Well, that's not very surprising, since tablets are made to be light. Duh! And I don't think tablets are any more theft-prone that laptops. This whole article retarded.
So what you do is you use that information to lead you to other evidence you can use. During WW2, they would send airplanes to verify submarine locations before destroying them so that the Germans wouldn't get wise to them. Presumably they've had 70 years or so to improve on that technique. I think it's safe to say they can figure it out.
US intelligence agencies clandestinely gather information. You don't lean about their investigation until you are already in custody (if at all). Who's to say they don't just automatically decrypt any RSA encoded transmission they intercept just to see what information people are trying to keep secret? They are currently involved in known projects that automatically track all telephone and internet traffic into and out of the US. Who is to say what else they're involved in?
Trusting an intelligence agency, who makes knowing your secrets its business, to encrypt your files is counter-intuitive, to say the least.
Someone once told me that I should use RSA encryption because it was developed by the NSA. I thought to myself "why would the NSA produce and give away an encryption algorithm they can't break". I concluded that they wouldn't. So yeah, probably not secure.
Because a lot of human trafficking and counterfeiting happens across our nation's borders. Actually, that's the best way to do it because it hampers local law enforcement. For human trafficking it's the best way because it puts people into a strange environment where they will not know how to ask for help. Especially if they are illegal immigrants, which is usually the case.
This seizure it totally unacceptable, but it's well within the scope of their operation to try something like this. Who else would do it?
No, we aren't making generalizations groups of people, we are talking about philosophical differences. You have certainly missed my point. All I'm saying is don't believe what people say about Christianity if they have a vested financial interest in saying it. The Bible actually warns not to listen to people like that.
On the other hand, the Book of Mormon tells you to listen to precisely those people. The actual beliefs are as different as night and day. Of course, there's not point being a Christian if you don't practice actual christian beliefs.

Ever heard of the Model T?

I hope they can also reverse the technique and use it for lithography.
No, Microsoft does have a trademark on "Windows".

According to Wikipedia the processor is:
In the 13" model and:
On the 15" and 17" models.
The article does say "Intel Core i7-720QM". I'm going to trust Wikipedia on this, since what the article says makes no sense and contradicts itself.
Sorry about that. I am a chemical engineer, so I tend to think of specific entropy as the only type worth discussing. Of course, generally entropy is an extensive property.
Ah, but entropy is an intensive property, so in a way, the poster was right.
How about this?
How are the soles doing? I usually wear down the tread in about a year.

No, national security jobs do not produce goods or services. If they're next big thing, they'll probably be the last big thing too.
