In English, the word God is capitalized only when it represents the name of a specific deity. This is because in some western religions, the English name of their primary deity is, in fact, God; and proper names are always capitalized.
When speaking generally about deities, it is not capitalized. Thus, it is correct to write "may God be my witness," as well as "I do not believe in any god."

But they are taking greater precautions: They are suing anybody who grabs the data and tries to re-sell it, in order to assert and protect their property.
Apple TV does not play "TV," it's mostly a DVR device with a wireless node. You still need the Television Set to which it hooks, which--as pointed out by the original poster--Apple does not offer.
I read that too. I think it was in the book "Fire in the Valley", which was later made into the TV movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley," sans the real interesting parts.

I thought that the central failure in the attempted bombing was that the bomb did not go off and burned the guy's pants instead.
If a murderer is out to kill someone, I want him stopped and brought to justice. If a mugger is out to steal money, I want to protect myself against him, and perhaps help raise awareness so that potential victims can also protect themselves. If a business is exploiting people to increase their profit margin, I want it held to account and the victims restituted.
Likewise, if Obama is going to bankrupt our monetary base further, I want to raise awareness of the situation, point out why it is wrong to continue with such plan, and perhaps even propose an alternative that will not bankrupt our system. At the very least I will not support those efforts with which I disagree.
Do you see? It is NOT GOOD to want bad things to fail, that just reflects spite and malice. It is GOOD to want to solve problems, point them out, and offer solutions. Not supporting misguided or wrong solutions is not bad; but actively and willfully wishing failure on someone--anybody--just to be able to say, "I told you so", is just petty and unproductive.
>> What part of my post is a fallacy, exactly? If you can point out the flaw in my logic given that I never really addressed cost control but simply the revocation of pre-existing condition clauses as a desirable outcome, I'd be glad to address it.
The fallacy is in the assumption that the problem is health insurance, and that somehow regulating it will solve the problem. The real problem is the cost of health care itself. As the parent poster said, masking the true costs of health care with subsidized health insurance, whether regulated or not, is not going to reduce their costs in the long term.
Of course, once that assumption is conceded, then your argument stands in support of health insurance regulation and reform. But his point was that taking the assumption as a fact, a priori, is a fallacy.

Tell me in which universe was Microsoft ever "hip"? Young, yes of course, in chronology; but I don't ever recall them being anywhere near "cool."

Oh man, really? I didn't know there was a RiffTrax version!
I'll have to find it now, thank you.

But, does it have an Apple sticker?

That's nothing, I just put an Apple sticker on my C=64 and now it's a Mac.

Or a port for my 1541 drive.

No, you misunderstood. Think about this:
health care != health insurance
Now, read the comment again, and adjust yours accordingly.

But you're right, Apple breaks it on each of its iTunes releases. However, Requiem is still in active development (at least up until iTunes 9.0.3).
As of a couple of months ago, it works great, though a bit buggy in OS X. Er, or so I've heard.
