I had an astronaut move into my parents neighbourhood. All the decent people moved out as quickly as they could, those left saw their housing prices drop. More astronauts moved to the neighbourhood and crime skyrocketed. Drugs and prostitution on the street corner etc. My family has moved to the country where there are very few astronauts, and we can live decent god fearing lives.
Hey folks... if you bother to read the article it explains how Scientologists are getting death threats from this group.
I don't agree with Scientology's tactics of suing anyone that looks at them funny... but they need to protect themselves from a group of psychos.
One one side you have the Anonymous Cowards who threaten murder, and on the other side you have Cultists who threaten lawsuits.... which one is more barbaric do you think?
One day, I will be so rich and powerful that my servant robots will have illegal mexican servant robots to clean up after their hedonistic robot parties!
Crippling other software is anti-competitive and if this can be proven (yes... big if) there will be civil consequences, most progressive countries have laws against anti-competitive practices.
Competition spurs innovation which is good for mankind and is thus protected under law.
However, in this case Apple is not crippling anything, and the story we are debating is rather sensationalistic.
They do not have the right to cripple other software I put on *my* system. A class action suit would come quickly if this is what apple was doing.
However Apple is not crippling other non-apple software. Vlad clearly states that Apple is using undocumented functionality to programatically do something that FFx3 needs to set configuration files to do.... basically apple's contributions to webkit use "secret hidden" code which isn't intended for the uninitiated. Apple *may* have a good reason for this... a specific 'weird' state may need to be achieved to use these functions, or the planets might have to align correctly during compilation... we dont know cause its binary; however Apple isn't *crippling* anything... they just aren't fully documenting everything a programmer is able to do on the OS X platform.

We have to do something about these astronauts
Nestle Quick. Yummy yummy chocolate milk.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled flamewar.
No, but of course, If I do not brand these people as babykillers and psycho cultists the rest of Slashdot brands me a troll and flamebait.
Im just sick of the massive groupthink of Slashdot, and I am willing to not immediately jump upon the hater bandwagon.

Actually there are lots of news incidents about Sihks. At least here in Canada.
Sikhs make the news way more than "jews" but way less than "israel"
