this would be an amazing break from apple's usual branding - the iMac has always been an all-in-one package, just like powermac has always been very expensive and headless (as far as i recall). but hey, we can hope.
Yeah, this is a bit old. but, on the point of homeowners insurance -- those in high risk areas (read - floods every fucking year) are sold dirt cheap insurance by the US government. these people can afford to lose a house a year, and rebuild it, on taxpayer dollars. its not best for the public - the vast majority of the country isn't stupid enough to live in areas that constantly destroy houses - if we did, the government couldn't afford to take a major loss for those who wish to mooch and rebuild again and again.
how long has this logo been in the running? they manage to mention it constantly, but never actually give any information on it. just strikes me as a bit odd.
i've found schools prefer to have the blocking at the isp level, so a kid with a laptop and a wireless card still can't pull up porn (or instant messenger). i've also seen schools block such things as babelfish, which is genuinely useful to 9/10's of the school, but the spanish teachers are too fucking lazy to actually teach, so they just put kinds into the lab where, suprise suprise, they'd use babelfish. and most librarians i know ( and i know several at public and university libraries) are about as anti-censorship as possible, outside of the few computers in a designated kids zone. the only reason any real library i know of has added general filtering is to get govn't funding.
but people can decide that they don't like the standards, fork, and develop new ones. while this doesn't happen often (certainly not often enough to have this be a real issue), Sun loses control over the standards, which i'm sure they think of as a sticking point.
Ironically, apple has often chosen the path microsoft has now taken - the compatibility with outdated OSes should not be a priority over advancement or security.
Not to be rude, but can you read? His post said that it ripped fine, and that he didn't even try to dupe it.... so, yeah. if you read anything else on this thread, you'd notice that this copy protection only happens outside US/UK, blah blah blah.
where the hell are you from, saying stuff like 'pop'?;) . i would assume he's not from the states, simply because he spells liters and litres. but thats just a guess.
by this argument, linux should have been completely aborted many a year ago, out of lack of mindshare, hardware supprt, etc.
my (limited) bsd experience finds openBSD lagging behind (simply because they thouroughly test everything for security far more than either of the other two big ones) and netBSD a little bit behind because of the vast number of architectures they support.
also, i find freeBSD's installer easier to use than debians, and less likely to hate me and stab me in the face. but then my favorite installers are OS X (convinience), netBSD (funny), and mandrake linux (easy and explanatory)
Really? 12 oz cans, 20 oz bottles.... yeah, they also have liter and 2 liters, but they don't use it exclusively. and NASA has shown that the don' always remember to work all in meters, if i remember a few incidents of equipment failure due to measurements being mixed.
me, i prefer the metric system, but hey, what can ya do?
i know he's still on in ny (where he's based), and the station plays snippets accusing the fcc of censorship throughout the day (one of the taglines for the station is "the home of howard stern:, so they're getting a bit uppity)

meh. i didn't grace that page more than a cursory glance, since i don't put any thought into anything related to coast to coast am.
linkage please? (i'm not doubting you, i'm just curious. i'd never heard of this before, but i don't really follow rfid closely)

ummm... no they aren't.
if you run in over BSD, does it end up in a kasket? (hahahhahahahaha)

i'd hardly call it a documentary. (yes, i saw it opening night. yes, i still wouldn't call it a documentary.)
You rock my small, self-centered universe.

i wish i could drive without anonymous cowards.
i'm amused that i, out of all these people, get modded down (albeit only 1) as a troll.
woah. miles davis is on /. crazygonuts.
And if you don't trust them, just watch back to the future 3. movies never lie.

something that the fcc refuses to do for broadcasters, no less.

hahahahah. Enforcement isn't what they're trying to do -- they're trying to look busy and responsive.
I had the same problem with my 120 gig WD. It just seems like a remarkably flimsy way to attach a cable.
I dunno... standing in front of an M1 tank is something i classify as gross stupidity.
