First off, I agree that Apple should have handled this better...not sure what the back story is on why, but needless to say it should have been handled better.
Secondly, I agree with the above poster...I have had nothing but good experiences with Apple, especially the retail stores, when bringing in equipment that has failed. Several iPods (of which my family of 6 has had numerous over the years) have been replaced, exchanged, no questions asked. A couple were out of warranty.
My most recent experience was with my daughter's MacBook. Purchased for college, it was about 4 years old, when just before Christmas, the screen started to fail, then eventually did. It was out of warranty, and certainly had seen better days. We brought it in and they told us it could be one of several issues and that the repair would be ~360. This was fine, as a new machine was certainly much more. Several days later, she got an email that it was ready and the total bill was $120. That was a pleasant surprise, we figured that they must have found the problem to be a simple repair. When we picked up her MacBook, it has a new screen, a new keyboard, a new bezel around the keyboard (old one was cracked), plus they replaced a power supply and something on the GPU board that death with the screen. She practically had a "new" 4 year old MacBook.
So, this is just one more reason why I am a satisfied Apple customer.
The "Pocket Rocket" (while not a paper airplane) was seriously the most fun a 10 year old could have with a pack of matches, some tin foil and a paper clip. From there I graduated to some seriously large and quite dangerous solid fuel and liquid fuel rockets. None of that Estes rocket stuff, these were home brews, including a full LED indicated launch control board that was capable of 4 separate launches with fail safe and low power ignition check to the filament "fuses."
Times have changed, I'm sure some of my "creations" would be heavily regulated today.
It's called the Clean Hands Doctrine. And yes it is very relevant that the "plaintiffs" to-be are trading in borderline illegal activities and otherwise unsavory characters.
When Farrah Fawcett arrived at heaven, God granted her one wish. She wished for all the children in the world to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson
I have my own domain also, and last couple of weeks my spam has gone from ~400/day to ~20/day. I have not changed any filtering, either. I have SpamAssasin running on the server side with some mild blacklist and white list filtering. All legit email seems to be getting through.
What has been said, Lemmings are not suicidal. Indeed they are very good swimmers, it is just that when they seek out new habitat after overcrowding, they tend to migrate long distances. After swimming for days (week+ sometimes), they eventually succumb to fatigue and drown.
Was just about to post something similar about Asimov and the Foundation Trilogy (ultimately his whole body of sci-fi works) when I searched for "asimov" to see if anyone felt the same.
Read those back in high school, time to head to the attic and dig them out.
Who says that he was? RIAA's attorney? While missing several attempts at a subpoena is notable, it is not unrebuttable that he was dodging. How do you know he put up people to mistate his whereabouts. Have you ever been served? Do you know the process? Process servers often do not identify themselves as such, it would be natural for people not to reveal true identities to a stranger knocking on the door. How do you know he tampered with evidence? And by the way, what evidence?
Last I checked we have an adversarial system of judicial fact finding.
They seem to come in random cycles, but usually 1 or 2 a month. Most are small patches.
To answer you 2d series of questions, Yes, yes and yes. Software Update, can be set to check, daily, weekly, or manually at your leisure. It can be set to download automatically in the background. You can pick and choose the updates you want to install. Also you can forego the SU application and instead, use your browser of choice to download the update, patch, whatever, directly.
Typically the patches are smaller. This was was unusually big. Biggest one I recall and I've been running X since the public beta.

had, at least at the time, the "best performing" for time aloft, distance, etc. The designs were very solid.
I had that book as a kid!

Pretty hardy little rodents.

Is the above statement true or false?
If you answered true or are otherwise uncertain, then you are a major cause of traffic jams.

None of that wmv or mpeg crap.
I'm confused??? Since there is no "haha" tag, that means we are on the side of the spammer...right?
Down with Spamhaus!
