You are right, but the problem is that it can take a lot of money and time to find out if someone is violating your patent. How do you examine the techniques that other companies use to build there products? Or examine each chip in the hdd to see if they are violating some process of your own? There is no point in doing this to a small company or unimportant technology, but when there is a lot of money to be made, suddenly it becomes quite important.
How the hell would they now whether or not the company was taking a loss on each box? Is this something I need to research on everything I buy? You seem to consider this ok? Maybe I should check out the details on my monitor, to make sure that I am not supposed to make up some of the income for the company by visiting certain websites.
If some company screws up and sells my "faulty" goods, then how is this any of my responsibility. And how does this allow them to go in and change the goods they already sold me?
I am having great difficulty understanding your logic on this one.
Once again, you are clearly an idiot. Feel free to mark this a bullet number 1 on your reply.
I too am annoyed that my touch cannot be used as a usb drive. Apple never claimed it could. I hoped it would, but it doesn't. So, please explain, who is to blaim in this....oh, that is right, clearly apple. Just because you somehow jumped to the conclusion that it would, it doesn't, and this is not apple's fault.
And people are trying to help you get music playing on your wifes computer through here ipod, but you are still not happy, and run off at the mouth accusing everyone else, rather than accepting any responsibility for it yourself.
Simple: YOU ARE TO BLAME. FOR ONCE IN YOUR DAMN LIFE, TO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOUR ACTION, YOU FUCKING COWARD. (I would mark that 5)
This would be more true of Sweden, where there is one month (I think it is August), where everybody goes on holiday. I went to stockholm, and it was like a deserted town, whole businesses shut down during this month.
YOu always had to have itunes installed to listen to music on your computer from your ipod. You could never just copy (easily) music of the ipod, this was an obvious concession to the RIAA. ipod has always been this way.
I can see why he got angry at you. The ipod is not locked down, it can do everything it said it can do. It can even do what you and your wife want it to do, but you haven't managed to do figure it out, so you blame Apple. This is like getting in a car crash because you were drunk, and blaming BMW. This is a bit silly on your behalf.
The fact is that as much as you claim that there are apple tribe mindsets, there are also blame-others mindset which is even more annoying. That is, if you can't figure out how to do something, then it is not your fault, buy Apples?
And how long do you drive? 2 hours. I think you may be an extreme case.
Does this somehow invalidate the fact that most people can and should catch public transport. No. You do realise there are other people in the world out there, it isn't always about you. If you work in a city, then it is highly probable that it is easier for you to get to work by public transport.
After all, Microsoft is an American company and as such is subject to influence of the U.S. government. You can see that there's plenty of reason to mistrust Microsoft.
Seems like a very honest and honerable thing to do. I couldn't find the bit were you talk about India being dishonest and untrustworthy, just because they don't want Microsoft?
What are you an idiot, or are you trying to be funny? So you would rather be dead, than have a decreased chance of having sex? And you seem to discount the fact that you can have great sex with anyone who happens to have AIDS/HIV already (Great sex=no condom). You truly are a stupid wanker.
We had a great program called WOW, that got me banned from the computer room a couple of times.
I also almost got suspended for writing a program that would loop through every possible password trying to log into the teachers accounts. I tried to explain the headmaster that it would take appropximatly 60 years to loop through, but he wasn't interested.
Maybe it keeps some people interested, but it annoys the hell out of me. Just display the page, don't have it flying around, and don't display one sentence at a time.
Sorry, you clearly do not know of what you speak. You spout a lot of cliches and financial sounding words, but together it makes no sense.
Bear Stearns couldn't unload its loans (this is what the gov bought for £30 billion), because nobody would buy them, since they are dodgey and have a high risk of defaulting.
The way the market is supposed to work does not include huge crashes - this helps no-one. They are to be avoided, and it is accepted that governments will try to avoid crashes. This is not market moving down, nobody has a problem with that. A crash is very different, it is a sign that investors have lost all confidence in the market - you seem to think this is normal and a good thing, it is not!
This is a very American attitude. People need to take responsibilites for their own actions. Most people weren't swindled, most people weren't lied to, most people thought that somehow, house prices were going to go up and up. Somehow, people were going to be able to afford 5x, 6x, 7x their income to buy a house. Somehow, people were going to be happy to work 50, 60 years just to pay of their house. This is ridiculous, anyone with any sense can see this.
What you are proposing is dangerous and idiotic. You clearly seem to personalising this, and therefore want a solution for you and your fellow losers at any cost. No. I am not paying for your stupidity.
I wish that was true. Go look at the jobs out there, I am forced to learn.Net because almost everybody wants it. Unless you work at a University, or some smart company, you are left with.Net. For some stupid reason, all the big companies have jumped on the.Net bandwagon, even though there are way better tools out there. (In my experience, anyway).
Maybe you could read up on shorting stock. It has been quite popular for the last few years.
If you know a stock is going down, you can sell it now, and but it later, when the price has gone down. This is called shorting. You don't own any stock, so there is no need to setup another sale, as you mentioned. You can just arrange to do this in a few months, then when you get no bad information coming in, you cancel the sale, thus having nothing to repay. You can set these up every month of so, at no loss of stock and a small fee, and only make rewards when you now something bad is coming along.
So you completely discount the fact that collisions are more fatal the higher speed you are going?
I see your point, speeding is not in itself necessarily a bad thing, but the laws are not about stopping crashes alone, but about minimising the damage of crashes when they occur also.
The whole point is that this is not illegal. They are using these options to skirt around current laws stopping you from selling with insider information. What they are doing now, is not selling if they know things are going well, as opposed to selling if things are going badly. This is going against the spirit of the law, if not directly illegal.
Fuck you. Fuck you and your 8gb of ram just to run an operating system well. Fuck you thinking that this is somehow ok. Fuck you suggesting we should get a fancy video card for an operating system. Fuck you for thinking that all this is fine and normal.
How the hell does the government encourage family values? By giving out gold stars? It is not up to the government to enforce family values, nor could it if it was. There is no easy solution to this problem, but blaiming everything onto the government is idiotic, and takes away from the real issue, which is that we are being tracked too much.

You would have the fastest windows operating system, if you could get all the drivers to work.

She wasn't using one last night, if you know what I mean? (We had sex)

Yeah, well I use a 60-button mouse, so I must be the most superior person ever!
A reasonable post, but you couldn't help but slip something abusive in there. Congratulations.

60 year conflict?? Really? Try 2000 Year old conflict.

Don't annoy people!!

Your statements are non-sensical.
