Indeed - and I believe with a little more digging you will find the writing is for a lower reading level than what it once was. It used to be well edited and written with decent prose - a decade or two ago.
Exactly - They are being egregious on all levels and then being deceptive about it. All big corporations are just raping the public top to bottom because they can and no one does anything about it. Banks, Airlines, Energy companies, Grocery stores, Gas stations - when does it end?
we are not out of the woods yet though - preasure tests could fail, and there is the risk of tapping into this thing to cement it permanently that can cause additional leaking.
That's more possible now, but back in the day, not a chance.... I have friends dying from depression and destitution because the were snookered by some exec, cut an album or two, never got paid, and then sued for no fulfilling the contract otherwise primarily because the couldn't eat, got sick, and to this day owe money to some one for their intellectual property.
I agree - considering that most of the things we use - are directly from the Lab of Edison, where my grandmother use to work as a close personal assistant of his. An no, I dont worship the old bastard - i do respect him. And yes his toiling and rants with Westinghouse / Tesla were probably the catalysts in competition for such and amazing inventor's streak - but its is UNDOUBTEDLY the crazy angry old Edison that out did Tesla when looking at the pragmatic and practical value of such said inventions.
And its Marconi that invented the Radio, not Tesla. The argument was concluded in European and World courts over ten years ago.
Its a tighter development method eliminating the crappy layers of compatibility that NEVER served us well when writing for Win32, MacOS or whatever. There will be no more lazy programming thank the heavens.
And this is a reason to be a foolishly pouting individual (not saying you are, but the many out there) about a write once run everywhere notion that has not been ever been realized in computing? Even with Java....
Troll me, Flame me - do whatever - I am tired of hearing about backlashes that are based on specious evidence made be speciously important people crying about specious pains.
Grow up complainers. This is Business. And Apple is innovating the product and the model - bound to shake some trees but definitely not abusing our capitalistic foundations. You want more of that, continue to look at McSofty - as from what I understand they are have never been properly punished for their actions.

I also remember Worldgate Communication in 1998 promising that you would not even need a computer!!! just plug this damm thing into your TV and BAM! instant WebTV. No computer.
And the pool - guided by consortium - is driving wide spread adoption by a very cheap licensing approach. I think they don't even charge for unit distro's under 100k. Anyhow, Apple is part of it alright - part of driving a light, easy to use and implement video codec as an open standard for everyone to use.
"I figure that there should be mandatory classes, at the mid to upper high school level,
in basic epistemology and metaphysics..."
When I was studying philosophy as an undergrad in the early 90's, I took an interesting education/epistomology class that spoke to these efforts exactly - but futile as many will rightfully point out for so many reasons! - as the effort dates back centuries even; as old as endeavors for mass education is itself.
The truth is our EDU system represents nothing more then the Guns & Butter factories of the 1940's it was inteneded to serve. YES YES YES - its a little better then inception, when our schools were built through our the 40's aqnd 50's and the ground work laid for ensuing decades... buts its the same dang framwork and still very slow to change in anyway. Basic math, basic vocab, basic art and fitness - as quick as you can 'cause we gotta make stuff and feed people, have them bee able to count money and follow street signs, blah blah blah, at a bare minumum.
And in today's schools, 86 the art and creativity stuff as its too expensive. After school prgrams as well - just not important anymore. Wonder why we are fat and boring and gullable and lemmings!!!
...can anyone honestly look at the requirements for graduating HS and think they are good??? Its a mess people. We are the laughing stock of the western world and haveing our asses handed to us be emerging countries with more effective systems of education.
You don't even need a pulse to get through a USA HS curriculum. And there is sooooo much competition at the priviledged levels - jamm packed at times with kids only a hair-line away from each other w/ re: grades (wallets, social status, adresses, pro'lly gene pool as well)... wouldn't you think the system just isn't diverse or demanding enough??? Hell even my cat looks as smart as yours in a room full of mice.
Real education for the masses is a long ways away in the USA....partly due to the same politics this article is related to.
In europe they will tell about PhD bank tellers because there are too many that are over educated... really? Over educated? is that a possiblity? (deserves a sepaerate thread i thinks...). Possibly if you encouraged a creative aspect of the curriculum - art, economics, cooking - someone could imainge a new way to apply all that great economicm social, mathematical, and behavorial science skill into somthin useful... like, i dont know - educating more freaking people!!!!!
but admittedly, we all dont have Socrates (or whomever in dialog) to walk around and hand hold us for the those first few years it really counts.

38, and I run a dispensary.
how is this flaimbait - seriously? can we not have a discussion on the egregious practices of big industry corporate America here on /.?

You a trivializing what goes on in the RIAA. They are crooks top to bottom. You must work for them no?
now i can use my iPhone as a HAM radio!
That's more possible now, but back in the day, not a chance....

Kind of retarded comment as YouTube runs fabulous and seemless on all the IOwnYou Products, dont you think?

Huh?
Amen!
Exactly - no sense on twisting in the metaphysical wind with out an aroma - what say you? make you case for such market, force, and good.
Its mine. I own it.
But what about the disarming of nuclear weapons and using that for full? is/was this not an option?
