    Yes they could, but that would DRM, which means apple would be bent over a table with a seriously large class action suite...

    Just remember there is a price for this, if you want to buy something recent and popular, the price is going UP, if it's a recent song song that nobody likes, well the price will stay the same, and if the song is something nobody has brought in a year, you'll get it a little cheaper...

    this was a lose lose for the kid then, if the father stayed home, there would be no food on the table to eat, if the kid couldn't get to school to get his free food, he'd go without himself. The father should of really of taken the kid to school himself.

    Wait, That beats the entire purpose of complaing about what was wrong with what happened. They are reporting on a news story elsewhere which is blaming the kids and not the parents, moding this post redundant IS doing the same thing.

    yes that is true. But as a business, they look at it and think, if we support linux, it will be done as a lose. Unless you can show that they'll make a decent profit (not just a small one) they are very unlikey to support anything.

    as a linux system's admin, i wouldn't wise development of something like a large scale gaming client like that on any one.

  14. Re:What could possibly go wrong on More Climate Scientists Now Support Geoengineering · · Score: 1

    That was put extremely well. What most people don't relize, is that if you want to stop it, it's stoping something that was going to occur naturally anyway (read up on ice ages). So trying to stop what is going to happen, will be destorying the natural cycle.

  15. Re:Terraforming Earth on More Climate Scientists Now Support Geoengineering · · Score: 1

    We do not have to , global warming is not proven.

    It's rather well established by now.

    Even if the oceans rise and all of the poles melt, humans will still survive and thrive.

    We'll survive, but that doesn't mean that there won't be economic, social, or geopolitical impacts that we'd prefer to have avoided.

    Sure, polar bears might go extinct, but so did dinosaurs millions of years before we were even around driving our SUVs.

    Again, a non-argument. Just because species have gone extinct in the past doesn't mean we'd prefer to accelerate the extinction rate. I mean, sure, if you place zero value on ecosystems, maybe, but not everyone does.

    And then what happens when we get plunged into another ice age because of something?

    Then we'll probably wish we'd have saved our fossil fuels to counteract that, instead of using them up now when we don't need the warming.

    And what was proven before climate change become the latest fad religon, Is that the planet heats and and cools down on it's own, and we are due for heating up.

    You know what, if you want to stop that, you aren't protecting the environment, your are destorying it. Wheather humans are accelatoring that or not hasn't been proven, it's only theroy...

    I remember when MSIE made the web, when they started putting it with the OS is when the internet started taking off.

    Until then, it was still a geeks paradise, Mom and pop's had to pay hundred's to be hooked up. Around that time, it was Click on MSIE, the computer would dial up, make an account, and you could use the internet.
