  1. Re:Apple won't miss 'em on Nerds Switching from Apple to Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    What "pack" are they leading? Anybody that switches to linux because some other guy did, without any consideration of their own needs and situation, is an idiot. Why does it matter that these two guys switched anymore than some other two guys? Are people really so enamored with these two guys that they'd cast aside their own computing needs and cause actual loss of profits for Apple? If they are, then I'm frankly disappointed in the human race, at least the part of it using computers.

    If Apple wants to address their concerns in future products, then so be it. Maybe such "prominent" former mac-users will cause Apple to do something good for their users.

  2. Re:Campaign contributions on MA Senator Decries OpenDocument Decision · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For a lowly state senator, $600 is a fairly decent sum of money.

  3. Re:Apple already complies on French Lawmakers Approve 'iTunes Law' · · Score: 1

    But that's suicide for Apple. They're not going to just give in. Remember how RealNetworks tried to break Apple's DRM? Apple didn't tolerate it then, and they won't tolerate it now.

  4. Re:Meanwhile in France... on French Lawmakers Approve 'iTunes Law' · · Score: 1

    No, protesting the government for forcing Apple to pull iTMS out of France.

    France does love a good organized protest. It would not surprise me in the least to see some happen.

  6. Re:Yeah, but... the Government website... on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1

    I took one look at the page and was turned off immediately. There's just too many links to look at. I guess they decided to go for the one-click rule...

  7. Re:Hrm... on Halo - Warthog Cloned, Red Vs Blue DVD-ed · · Score: 1

    Military forces around the world have long had vehicles similar to the Warthog. There's the Desert Patrol Vehicle, the Ranger Special Operations Vehicle, and plenty others. The idea is hardly a new one.
