  1. Re:still fairly ridiculous on Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Even the app can be purchased, just not the update. Which contains a song that is already available on iTunes.

    As someone else said, if Andy Kaufman was still with us, he'd be doing this all over the place and having a great laugh at the retarded & hypocritical controversies that he stirred up.

    The "average user" won't need to do most of what the GP was whining about either, so I think it's a draw.

    It's a controversy for us Americans.

    We're prudes, and are sure you should be too.

    No, I didn't try :-)

    But honestly, I still had to go read about it after being informed what it was.

    I guess it's just like Social Security in the US. But with more money - for fewer people.

    Seeing as Slashdot isn't Australio-centric, could you explain what super is?

    Googling for super isn't very informative, and there's very little context to make the search more relevant.

    You can use any standard third party headphones.

    Just don't complain when those headphones don't work with Apple's view of controlling their DAP.

    Copy & paste links/bookmarks/text to email. Note the plural. Not just one link from Safari.

    I miss this functionality all the time. For sending info/instructions/scores/etc to friends & family.

    Have you ever blown 0.08? You're drunk.

    I could care less about MADD. I'll just pay attention to the science of alcohol ingestion and how it relates to driving 1000+ pound vehicle at 55 mph. And at 0.08, it's not a good relationship.

    So, just because only one dangerous way of driving is legislated, you want it removed? Just not following your logic.

    Ever had a family member killed by a sleepy driver on a cell phone?
    I bet you'd want legislation for them then too.

    And, no I haven't, but I can put myself in their place. As well as in the sleepy driver. I've been a sleepy driver on a cell phone.

    It's still dangerous, regardless of whether or not it's legislated.

    I just don't know what the hell you're ranting at.

    I'm sorry, but what have you been drinking? Methanol?

    They're all dangerous ways of driving. Period.

    That doesn't mean they're ok!

    And a DUI is not a few drinks. Heck, I once told an office that I had a beer & a half. Got a ticket, but no DUI. They know the difference.

    You "learn to perspective". And not to tilt at your own windmills.

    Good to know. What do you think the break point would be? >1000 users and it's worth the cost, time & effort?

    Also curious if you think taking the money spent on CALs, licenses, etc and spending it on infrastructure & setup for a more unixy back end would result in something close. Like using the stuff from 37 signals.
