It wouldn't be overnight, but Jim Crow would come right back.
In before you claim that Jim Crow was *only* the government's doing. Without the backing of businesses and such, Jim Crow wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell of lasting as long as it did. There are places in the country which would drift right back were it not for federal legislation.
This is why Rand Paul's insistence that the Civil Rights act was bad is based on nonsense. He claims that a black person's dollar is the same as a white's and that businesses and such would see it that way in this "enlightened" era. To a lot of people, it's not. Even today.
All editions of Mac OS X, with the exception of the original Rhapsody, are upgrades. You can only install them if you already have a copy of Mac OS or Mac OS X.
Bullshit.
Every OSX distribution is a full install. It's not an upgrade. How else would a hackintosh work?
There is so much blind Apple hate these days that people like you can't be arsed to google the term "hackintosh"
Such a simple step would probably save large sums of money in litigation; a lawyer once told me that in his experience, most litigation is the result of bad manners.
I forget where, but I saw a study or a news report of a study that if doctors who make mistakes apologized for their mistakes, malpractice suits would plummet.
>God, these lame armchair analyst zealots get on my nerves.
We all know what's happening.
Elop is sabotaging the company, he and the board will get golden parachutes, and get hired by Microsoft, and the remains of the company will be acquired by Microsoft.
It's been plain ever since Microsoft "bought without buying" Nokia by having Elop installed as Cuckoo CEO.
As of this moment, we are cruising at an altitude of $3.50 as you can see by the NYSE price.
I have been instructed by the parent carrier to initiate a controlled flight into terrain so that it can pick up the pieces and glue them onto itself. You, the investors, are expendable.
Please enjoy your brief flight on MicroNokia Airways.
And my picture omits everything from December to the present day, in which Elop has done nothing to drag NOK out of the sewer. Let's see what has happened since January 1.
Fact: NOK is circling the drain and Elop thinks that suing companies will stem the flow of this river of red ink. Sorry, but lawsuits take more time than actual innovation and even then, they do not take care of the core problems with a company. Nokia is a dead company walking.
The defendants just need to drag this case out a few years longer. NOK prices will be so low, these companies can just pool some resources together. Maybe about $200 each, and buy out NOK altogether.
This took 7 years to happen to SCO. SCO limped around for years with a penny-stock market cap until Chapter 7 actually happened, all on the hot and humid bloviations of Darl and his other brother Darl.
>I see this as good evidence that Nokia is completely controlled by Microsoft.
Ya think?
This is like SCO vs. World+Dog complete with failing company that's drowning itself in a 5 gallon pail at the direction of (mis) management. Except this time around, the backing of Microsoft is more blatant. They are no longer under Sherman Antitrust supervision. They have carte blanche to do what they want until someone says stop.
>Seriously, how can an intelligent person equate a meeting in a mall or on the street with a stream of clandestine facebook messages between "dreamy" Mr Larson and your 14 year old daughter?
Seriously, the key to the Constitution is "protect the children"
Never mind the fact that my 6'th grade science teacher ran off with one of his students to another state where marrying her was legal.
In the 80s.
This is scapegoating the Internet for something that has gone on for centuries and shame on you for falling for it.
What nobody seems to get is that by suppressing research into viruses and how they spread guarantees that MomNature, when she comes up with one, will make a virus to kill us all while we are standing around unprepared.
MomNature, unlike terrorists, doesn't sleep. Ever. Because evolution, baby.
Sure, use that "Ahmed the Goatfucker Terrorist" bad-movie-plot to justify silencing science. It will eventually come around to bite all of us in the ass.

I got modded "offtopic" but I find that Sony being upset at Comcast's abuse of the market the height of irony. I'd have sympathy for Sony if they didn't, for example, put DRM on their media and play format shenanigans. But they do, and I don't.
Comcast and Sony can go at it in a one-on-one caged death-match and I can only hope that both die.
>how about the promoted by firehose entirely pro-MS articles or entirely anti-google articles?
I honestly believe those are put on the front page because trolltastic articles bring clicks.
The real problem is that Microsoft shells out serious amounts of money to publishers like ZDNET for screeds from the likes of Ed Bott. For example, what really burns my Cheerios is when I turn on NPR and hear goddamn Robert Enderle pushing some Microsoft agenda. The sheer number of bought-off journalists makes it difficult to get raw numbers of actual good articles in the firehose.
Inb4 I get accused of wearing my tinfoil too tight: we've even got people in the community who purport themselves to be "defenders of Linux" who are bought off like Florian and Miguel.

Because while transporting a minor to another state to have sex with her under different state age of consent is a felony as defined by the Mann Act.
How he did not run afoul of the Mann Act is beyond me, but he was never prosecuted.
She eventually divorced him when she grew up.
