Yes, I did get your sarcasm the first time. It's just that what, 90% of the market is windows? The wants of that 10% divided into mac and linux are bound to be much lower priority, if one at all.
This is SLASHDOT you moron, home of the digital minority, you're preaching to the wrong crowd about shaving off the smaller group. That would be like going to detroit and telling them that black people only make up 13% or so of the population and because of that are not important.
Not every software company's market has to reach 90% of the computer users, the millions of mac users create enough revenue for many people to live off of. I am capable of driving to the local mall and finding a store that is aimed at my insignificant system, along with three other stores that carry hardware and/or software for it. I can also purchase distros and documentation on all of the other operating systems I mentioned at said mall.
The millions of non-microsoft users don't count. users of false operating systems: please purchase and install the latest version of microsoft windows.
Users with hardware not supported by microsoft are advised to dispose of their incompatible devices.
Yes. all DVD players ever created contain hidden hard drives and wireless cards, just waiting for someone to hit the switch enabling their hidden features.
Of course, but cutting down trees certainly won't save the environment either.. Trees do not deplete our ozone.. they simply freshen the air, and clear up part of the atmosphere where smog, and other air pollution rests..
Not to mention help prevent erosion and landslides.
you're paying too much attention to WHICH negative moderation the mods chose, most first posts are crap. Just because the mod made a crappy choice as to why doesn't mean that the first post deserved positive moderation.
Do you understand how overzealous you're being here?
What I am saying is that this is not an act of evil, YES: I hate the RIAA. YES: I like downloading whatever I want, but no one is stomping on anyone here.
What provides the revenue for Kazaa? Spy/mal-ware. And what brings in the vast majority of the users that bring this revenue? Illegally available IP.
If we were talking about bittorrent I would defend it completely, but this is fucking Kazaa, not all of us p2p users are wonderful people just trying to share information for the good of the planet, most of us just don't feel like going to the record store and buying up everything we have the slightest interest in, and the idea that someoen out there could be downloading something legal does not mean that Kazaa of all places should sit immune to legislation.
No. I mean that this is a file sharing network that isn't letting you search for certain strings on it's own network if you upgrade to a newer version; while an internet filter (voluntary or not) seeks to prevent you from accessing that informationm. this is the difference between google blocking searches for "WAREZ" and you being unable to connect to warez.com
And btw, I know that we all like to pretend that all of our downloads are legal. But that's bullshit, the average download by the average person on kazaa or limewire is not licensed for distribution by the person(s) the file is being uploaded by.
It's not like someone is taking away your right to download their music. It's by no means similar to web page censorship that confuses breast cancer with porn.
It's funny that it's newsworthy for them to charge $2.50 for a song while they charge the same $2.50 for a 30-second clip of the same song that deletes itself after 90 days.
A used car, while a better deal in my opinion, is very different from a used license. It's very unlikely that your used license is going to have any hidden defects, because a license doesn't degrade, it's just a right to legally use software.
It's hard for some people to understand that just because a lot of the loudest mac users are like that it doesn't mean most mac users are.
and everone seems to think that everyone who has a mac is exclusively a mac user. We have 3 PC desktops and 3 apple laptops between the three of us.

Right, because no one uses mac.
Netflix DVDs don't care about what operating system you're running though.
Not to mention help prevent erosion and landslides.

Bandwidth costs money
calm down there man, you were acting like it mattered there for a second.
png is not a good alternative to jpg in most cases, it's lossless and thus is a bad idea for high traffic sites.
nothing against PNG though.

Liberal may also mean:
"Tending to give freely; generous: a liberal benefactor."
P.S. you're a moron.
A laptop with that kind of battery life is worth stealing.
I'm just saying that OFFICE came out first on the mac.
Did I miss the point? Probably. But I wasn't mistaken.
