Interesting that I'm having trouble cutting & pasting that link on a Mac.
It's Command+C, not Control+C:-) And it would be more 1337 if you made it look like this: Apple sucks balls I kid! I kid! Though I sure do love how they settled with Microsoft. I wonder who wears the pants in that relationship.
As it is now the Taliban is benefiting from a Record-breaking opium crop.
Good to see others spreading the word. I'm seeing the Afganistan thing as just another opium war. The "eradication" efforts are nothing more than an attempt to manipulate the price. There's definitely some "Iran/Contra" deja-vu here.
I do have to admit that I have this "gut feeling" that the relationship between Apple and Microsoft is more than a bit incestuous. At the same time, I don't have the slightest idea how much further along we would be if it wasn't for the insane laws we have on the books. That Apple(and Microsoft) exploits it is to be expected. That's life in the big city. Nice weather and an abundant supply of beer more than make up for whatever they do.
They consider you only as good as your last mistake. The bosses don't want to know what goes on "under the hood". It just has to work. Anything less than 100% uptime is considered a failure in their eyes.
They'd just be creating a market for knockoff dongles.
Yes it would, but it would still have a huge effect. It's still much easier to download a serial number. The point is that bootleggers made Bill Gates a very rich man. The Mac is Apple's operating system's dongle. I don't see that many knockoffs. Do they have 10% market share yet?
Google and Youtube are hardly what I would call mission critical, unless we're talking strictly economics. I'm talking about hospitals, banks, air traffic control, etc. Things that can have a real effect on one's life. Google and Youtube are only mission critical for advertisers and Hollywood.
A real solution would be a hardware dongle. And it wouldn't require an internet connection. But bootlegging keeps Microsoft in business, so it's not very likely they will implement it.
You never hear anyone who speaks loudly condemn both sides for their ethical failures over the years.
That's right. You never hear... Not because it's not being said, it's that you(editorial) choose not to listen. But those voices condemning both sides is quite loud. You all just need to take out your earplugs.
If the project is about building a flying platform that can fly for hours and can carry 2-3 kg of gears, I would worry about it, and would not make it open source.
But would you try to prohibit others from doing so? And what would your methodology be? Shut down the internet?
The ledger of atrocities is about 10 (if not 100) to 1 in favor of Israel.
That's quite debatable. And maybe if the "other side" had all that fancy American technology, they wouldn't feel the need to use suicide bombers. It's the only weapons delivery system they can afford right now. Don't think for a second that Israel wouldn't do the same thing under similar circumstances. As far as targeting civilians is concerned, there are no innocents. Make no mistake, the rules are economically motivated.

What the hell is that going to do for my Sunday hangover? I think I'll stick with aspirin, but thanks for thinking of me.

When they end-of-life XP they had better issue a patch to remove the activation component from it.
HA! Are you kidding? What they will do is issue a patch that deactivates all XP installations.
First, make sure he's dead.
BANG!... BANG!

...I guess if you were really mission critical...,
you should be fired if you made the decision to use commodity hardware and software. At the very least, you're being a cheap so 'n so.

Hell, maybe one of those sonic alarms that are supposed to hurt your hearing might be the answer.
Heh, my father's solution would have probably been to just play some of that "rock 'n roll" music.

A cattle prod would require that you approach the animal, possibly dangerous. Tasers are the answer
After a while they would just associated the women with pain and stay clear.
I don't know where to begin with that one. Are you suggesting...matrimony?
It is unbelievable propaganda to equate Iran to Nazi Germany.
While looking at the pictures of the orchestra, all I could hear was Die Walküre...
Kill the waaabbit...
to minimize multiple-license pain for corporate open source adopters?
Words cannot describe the perfectly self-explanatory solution we have at our fingertips. So simple it is that no-one can see it, much less accept it.
I mean, jeeze, what would stop them from falling out of the windows?
Would you rather they were pushed?
...if the universe was created from a big bang, then naturally the center or point where that explosion took place...
HA! Beat you that time.
There really is a Doomsday Machine
How many Albert Halls is that?
It's the center of the "Big Bang", if that's what happened. All the material would have been ejected away.
?
Your rights have been sold and the RIAA is going to keep raking in the cash at everyone else's expense.
I wish they were sold. I might have collected a healthy profit. No, what happened is that they were given away... by us.
