On Apple vs Apple
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Technically, the GP is correct; there is no Apple logo on any of the pages. Yes, the browser/interface does contain the logo, just like every other browser has an identity logo.
I realize that you can not view any iTMS pages in other browsers. And I realize that the iTMS browser does not allow any content other than Apple's.
It seems like the logo placement is very relevant to this case, and I can't imagine this technical distinction not being made in court.
From what I've read, this case seems to hinge more on the particulars of the agreement both parties made in '91, than on trademark infringement in general.
Stay with the program here. Jet fuel burns quickly, very quickly. Don't think I've read any estimates that place the jet fuel burn time at more than 5-10 minutes. Also, WC7 had no jet fuel, yet burned and fell pretty much just like the towers.
Look here. See the yellow-hot molten steel being pulled from debris? I think the GP was asking how did it ever get that hot.
Also, according to your simple theory, we would expect to see other buildings that have succumbed to fire damage, their steel softened, and thus fallen. But WC1 WC2 & WC7 are the only modern, steel-reinforced high-rises, to have ever collapsed because of an uncontrolled fire. Ever.
Thus, WC7 goes down in history as the only tall steel structured building to ever collapse from a fire. Hmm. Guess I'm just a little more inquisitive than most.
Floor fails and floor fails down ontop of next floor which causes a domino effect.
And with each floor pan falling onto the pan beneath it, a small amount of time is taken (that whole conservation of energy thing, you've prbly heard of it). Yet, when we observe footage of the towers falling, there is no delay. The falling is smooth and without hiccups, not to mention, completely symetrical (including WC7 which was not hit by a plane).
I used to be one of the people calling this line of thought rubbish. Until I started reading and looking at the evidence. It's compelling. Find out for yourself.
Islamofacists are not difficult to understand. Movements that pander to humankind's base attributes always find adherants. Their western apologists & supporters are a whole other matter. Witness this thread with mrraven: the disingenuousness, goalshifting and moral equivocacy. What other subject brings out this level of intellectual dishonesty and ignorance?
Western academia and intelligentsia seem to have diverged off the post Enlightenment path and into the Kingdom of Diversity (right next to the Kingdom of Hypocrisy): where diversity is valued more than the other virtues like charity and compassion. Since there is no Universal Truth (so they say, and which is itself a universal declaration), there is only cultural and individual truth. Let's not labor on about who is right and who is wrong, just invite everyone to the table. But they don't really believe that, or they would have made room at the table for the KKK and Nazis!
I don't think the West can solve the problems with Islamism (little/no rights for women/gays/minorities, use of violence). If it's possible, Islamic doctrinal issues will have to be worked out through a Reformation. Where's the Islamic Martin Luther?
After being faced with a mountain of evidence of Islamic aggression (the concept I was first replying to), you offer no relevant rebuttal, but rather a terse isolationist rant, then feel the need to ascertain and label my political orientation, as if all things fall into place once the correct political glasses are on.
911 was a one off event and the US is the source of its own problems. Sure, just keep repeating that mantra and ignoring evidence to the contrary and maybe it will be true. Sounds like you're more of a religious zealot than you knew!
No, 911 was not one-off'd. The technique used and the large number of lives lost, are the only things one-off'd about 911. There is a long history of Islamic aggression, imperialism and terrorism. Here's a dose from just the 20th century.
1. Muslim Turkey has expelled approximately 1,500,000 Greeks from its empire in the east and replaced them with Turks. They have massacred approximately 2 million Armenians and replaced them with Turks in the west.
2. Muslim Turkey has invaded and occupied northern Cyprus, displacing the Greeks living there.
3. Muslim northern Sudan has conquered much of southern Sudan, literally enslaving its Christian and pagan population.
4. Indonesian imperialism has occupied all of non-Islamic western New Guinea and incorporated into Indonesia.
5. Muslim Indonesia has invaded and conquered Christian East Timor with horrible loss of life.
6. This very day, Muslim Indonesia is attempting to destroy Christianity in what used to be called the Celebes.
7. A half-dozen Arab countries have fought two to four wars (depending how you count) in an attempt to destroy Israel and occupy its territory, and is currently continuing the attempt this very day with the publicly voted consent of 55 of the world's 57 Islamic nations.
8. For no good reason, Muslim Libya has blown up western aircraft, killing many civilians.
9. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist war of aggression, invaded and occupied Muslim Kuwait.
10. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people.
11. Muslim Albania, this very minute, is attempting to enlarge its borders at Christian Macedonia's expense.
12. Muslim Northern Nigeria has been (and is currently) an aggressor against the Christian south.
13. Muslims expelled approximately 800,000 Jews from their homelands between 1947 and 1955.
14. During Jordan's occupation of the West Bank, the kingdom undertook an unsuccessful attempt to make Jerusalem a Muslim city by forcing out approximately 10,000 Christian inhabitants.
Yes, I know that the reverse has been true. For example, Christian Serbia entered and massacred Bosnian Muslims. The western response was instructive. The west sent troops to protect the Muslims. Serbia gave up its leader to be tried for the crime by an international panel. Will Indonesia do the same with respect to Timor? Or Sudan with respect to southern Sudan?
Question: What is the title of the shortest book in the world? Answer: "The list of Muslim nations who have risked the lives of their soldiers to protect (as with the U.S. protection of Muslims in Kuwait) Christian or Jewish citizens from Muslim imperialism."
If we just stopped consuming more than our fair share of oil and stopped catering to Israel's every whim, poof, no more pissed off Muslims problem solved
So what about all the other countries, besides the US, that have been targeted and attacked? Is Spain also consuming too much and catering to Israel? What flawed and erroneous thinking! Must be nice living in a fairy tale where everyone knows the monster (USA/Israel) is attacking the village (everyone else) and speading evil (consumerism).
So as you say, we're talking about "such high levels of pressure" -- and the difference is a question of degrees.
Let's breakdown this "pressure" euphemism. One abortion doctor killed seems about 180 degrees from Islam's death toll.
Didn't we have a Muslim student just a couple weeks ago here who killed several other students at UC Chapel Hill in the name of Islam?
Where's the outrage of the "moderate" Muslims? One abortion doctor gets killed in the name of Jesus and the entire denomination unequivocally, and loudly denounces the behavior.
I can understand how people averse to religions are want to place them all in the same basket. Islamism, Christianity, Judaism, they're all the same, just tools of the powerbrokers to help reign in the masses. But it's more complicated than that simple and secular assesment. Teasing apart the twisted and many threads of religious doctrines allows us to see the big differences between them.
Bottom line: DeLay putting out a veiled political threat to federal judges doesn't concern me that much. Islamic zealots who routinely kill people in the name of Allah, now they concern me.
Yet, what religion continues to place first in this race? (Cartoons of death?)
I'm sure that for every example you can present of Muslim afronts to other religions we could dredge up an equal if not greater number of non-Muslim afronts to Islam.
Really? Then name one country with a state sponsored stance of anti-Islamism.
Now, name one Islamic country without a state sponsored stance on persecuting other religions.
There would be a small contingent arguing against any civillian casualties; then the overwhelming majority would take action and Roguestateistan would be obliterated. The fact that we were struck first (nuke-wise) would amply justify our intent and previous actions towards that country. To think otherwise means you've seriously been studying too much politics and foreign policy, and can't see the forest for the trees.
It's the threat of use that keeps superpowers off your dictator shaped back. And every time you open your mouth, making sure something crazy comes out, reinforces the image of a meglomaniacal power grub just sane enough to not strike first.
Strike first (no UNSC member would view carrier movement as one) and the gloves some off.
I've used several versions of VPC and none of them can handle a modern (less than 3 years old) first person shooter. It just doesn't work: either too slow, too many dropped frames, or just doesn't load.
Don't take my word for it. Go ahead and try.
The only people who think VPC can work for a demanding FPS haven't actually tried to play one with it.

Sounds reasonable. But...
1) Iran is a modified theocracy - Islam is a major player. The president shares power with the head cleric.
2) The Koran, unlike modern interpretations of the Bible, mandates conversion through various mechanisms. And punishes those leaving the fold.
Islam is part of the problem. Is there a country with such high levels of "pressure" where the state sponsored religion isn't Islam?
Yet, what religion continues to place first in this race? (Cartoons of death?)
I'm sure that for every example you can present of Muslim afronts to other religions we could dredge up an equal if not greater number of non-Muslim afronts to Islam.
