The point is that analytic thinking can decrease religious belief, even in devout believers. So people who once believed that develop critical thinking decrease their religious belief. That is important. Because people who believe typically do not move away or get swayed from their beliefs.
Interestingly climate scientists never claimed we were going to fry by now. They were rather rationale about the climate change, they always looked at the data and revised their models accordingly.
Just because a crack pot suddenly cries uncle does not mean we cast aside the science.
"In an April 12, 2012 letter addressed (PDF) to State Senator Mark Leno (author of the bill), CTIA says it is opposed to SB 1434 because it may "create confusion for wireless providers and hamper their response to legitimate law enforcement investigations." The group also states that "[the bill will] create unduly burdensome and costly mandates on providers and their employees and are unnecessary as they will not serve wireless consumers.""
How the fuck do you come up with that rationalization! If you are presented with a court order to turn over information - they you are not at risk. You are not vulnerable to law suits. You were presented with a court order. Failure to comply with a court order means jail!
"On the financial side, CTIA’s argument is laughable. Just to give one example—Sprint is a $7 billion company, and it charges law enforcement a $30 monthly flat fee to provide location data on an unlimited basis. And, keep in mind: in 2009, Wired reported that during a 13-month period, Sprint disclosed that data 8 million times. So how exactly is this new bill providing a "costly mandate?""
The exploit was because of Java and you blame Apple? That's rich. OS X was not at fault. If Oracle got it's act together this would not have been a problem. Show me real exploits within OS X. Show me the same type of exploits that exist in Windows in OS X. Show me OS X can reach the level of exploits that Windows has. That's not do to market share, that's do to the technology. OS X is safer than Windows because it has less exploits, because it is a more secure OS.
What Apple and Microsoft cannot protect against is the stupidity of users. All they can do is mitigate it - Apple does a better job at that.
It's the technology, plain and simple. It's the technology that protects and the technology that infects. Apple and Windows use very different technologies. The claim that Apple is safer because of market share makes the implicit assumption that OS X has the same weaknesses that Windows does, it just few people use OS X thus the low exploit level. OS X does not have the same weaknesses. Thus it is safer than Windows.
The current exploit is because of Java not OS X. The exploit remained unpatched by Apple and thus the current situation.
RTFA. Yes it applies here. He had authorized access. He could not be charged to have "unauthorized access." He had proper access to private information. What he did not have was permission to take private information to a new employer, that's what mail fraud and trade secret theft are for.
The judge was quite clear why "violations of the CFAA" was not appropriate. Christ he was indicted on 20 counts, including mail fraud and trade secret theft. They have plenty of other indictments to work from.
True that America does not hold a monopoly on quality products - see Germany - but China has a long way to go. China can build things cheaply but unless they have strict Quality Controls and Oversight, their products are invariable crap. You see it time and time again companies that have poor Quality Control end up having crap products.
You don't understand how corporations work. Apple is not saving a boat load of money making iPhones in China. At most they are saving 20% but they are still making 70% profit margins. Consumers are paying a premium for Apple products like the iPhone and that still does not motivate Apple to bring production back to the States.
Corporation only care about profits and will do ANYTHING to the workforce to control labor costs.
Blaming the government won't solve the problem. Holding corporations accountable will.
"A jury awarded textbook publisher John Wiley & Sons $600,000 after deciding that math graduate student Supap Kirtsaeng infringed on the company's copyrights."
"The issue at the Supreme Court is whether U.S. copyright protection applies to items that are made abroad, purchased abroad and then resold in the U.S. without the permission of the manufacturer."
It's rather simple. A jury agreed the student violated the company's copyright by selling the foreign made book without permission. Apparently the Copyright Law in Thailand or where ever does permit people to resell the book. Copyright Law in the United States does allow for resell. So the question is a matter of jurisdiction. Does US copyright law apply in the case? If yes, then the student does not own money to the publisher. If no, the student has to pay the publisher.
Actually we do. That has been the point of all that research published recently. What is somewhat debatable is how quickly the Earth will warm if we do nothing and what actions do we need to do NOW to reverse the trend.
Fossil fuel people are all for keeping the status quo. The rest of would like to start changing things now.

Yeah don't tell that to the poor countries that haven't ramped up production to the "conventional farming" method. Moron.

And yet the iPhone sold better...hmmm....
Like Microsoft.
The data shows the planet temperature has increased. Do some research.
Exactly! Gravity is just a fad anyway.

Seems like fact.
You're cell phone contract.

Think Potsy, think.
Hey douche bag, from the article:

Because you got a bad grade there's a flaw with human graders? Somebody wants cheese with that wine.
"memorizing a few facts is fairly easy"
If you think that's learning, you are sadly mistaken.

Talk to me we see a kernel exploit.
Caught up. Over 100,000 viruses for Windows. Maybe 6 for the OS X? Call me when it reaches 100.
It required the user to do something, in particular, provide a password.
Because we're trading partners...

When you question it, yes. When Scientists question it, no. See the difference.
