The authors have found that graduates in subjects such as science, engineering, and medicine are strongly overrepresented among Islamist movements in the Muslim world. The authors also note that engineers, alone, are strongly over-represented among graduates who gravitate to violent groups.
More the reason to support my argument and then some. We have foreign nations struggling to file suit against MS because of the ties that WMP has into Windows yet your sitting here telling me "QT is more then a media player" that it ties into the subsystem of OSX and once its there, you can't do anything about it except re-install? There's no "once it's there". It's always there, it's part of the OS, just like DirectShow is on Windows. The QuickTime Player is just a lightweight GUI built on top of the QuickTime libraries, much like the pre-v7.0 Windows Media Players. Updating QuickTime does not mean updating the player, it's an OS update. Very few systems that I know of have much support for downgrading OS components once they're updated other than re-installing the OS.
QuickTime is a media playing framework. It's equivalent to DirectShow and such on Windows.
iTunes uses it to play things. On Windows, QuickTime is bundled with iTunes because iTunes is built on top of it.
As for DRM, I'm not sure how much of that code in iTunes and how much is in QuickTime, but some of the code is guaranteed to be in QuickTime. Perhaps most of it.
A luddite opposes technological change. Yes, change. Slashdotters are comfortable with what they already have. But they fear change, and they fear that which they are not already comfortable with.
If you throw the paper plane down far enough won't it still fall(just not straight down)? It would seem that the tangent velocity would not be high enough to sustain a lower orbit. It won't fall. But you are exactly right - the tangent velocity is indeed not high enough to sustain the lower orbit, so it will actually rise into a higher orbit after a while. What actually happens is that it will orbit in a slightly more elliptical orbit than the one from which it was thrown, causing it to rise and fall in a cycle when viewed from the original orbit.
Now, it wouldn't surprise me if Apple is better at this than others, but I know for a fact that there are Windows laptops that can screw up the hold-down-power shutdown in software. A friend has one, and I first taught him the hold-down-power trick, but even so he managed to crash it so hard he couldn't turn it off, and I had to tell him to remove the battery.
LEDs do not emit light in only one direction, however. Not even laser diodes do. Diode lasers differ from most other lasers in that they need focusing optics to create a proper beam.
Slashdot Mirror
You're catching on quick!
What possible reason would there be to release a fingerprint of anything?
There might just be less difference than you think.
You could probably draw parallels to Engineer's Syndrome here.
Tell you what, you manage to find a modern trojan that fits in 4k, and I'll be impressed.
It's simply an expression of the closet technophobia that affects so many Slashdotters.
Civilian UAVs will be getting a lot more common soon. This is just one early example.
So the lack of demand is why they only sold two millions of them?
Perhaps you should try to read what was said again, and see if this time you understand it.
Incidentially, the container format for MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4v, m4a) is the same as the QuickTime container format, too. Those are more common these days.
QuickTime is OS X's media playing framework. You can't uninstall it just like you can't uninstall DirectShow on Windows.
And even if you could uninstall it, that would mean your video editing up would certainly not work, since it's using QuickTime to do its work for it.
Maybe. That's not really relevant since it's not like this was done purposely.

I have seen few places as technophobic as Slashdot. Or what did you think http://slashdot.org/tags/whatcouldpossiblygowrong means?
Consider how reactionary and outright Luddite Slashdot is, this is pretty much the reaction I'd expect here.
The stall that would have occurred had the plane continued on its current flight path as if it still had enough engine power to make it.

Sheets of glass right next to your eyes? What could go wrong?
Contact lenses do not have an image on them, you know. They just modify the lens in your eye.
Unfortunately, laser diodes do not emit focused light. They need optics to get a proper beam. Look at your laser pointer, it has a lens at the end.
