You're making Apple into an entity even more dispised than Micro$oft. I hear you had a bit of a hit this morning on the markets. Hope you have a clean hankie.
DRM is stupid in this context, the issue is protecting data is one of encryption not digital rights. Christ.
What I really want to know is when/. is going to enter the 2000s and get around to providing some sort of AJAX interface for it's bloody threads. I can't believe I *still* have to reload an entire page just to read a collapsed discussion thread.
I still have nightmares about manually going through the Chemical Abstracts looking for articles that might have been appropriate to my research. I dreaded and hated that process. And after doing that, one would have to pour through the articles themselves searching out the journals, and if they weren't ghere getting them loaned from another library, sometimes hundreds of kilometres away. Oh, and then there was searching the citation index looking for articles of greatest interest (google itself is really not much more than a citation index). What a farkin' nightmare, and it probably added about a year to the review for my research all spent wading through journal articles, 90% of which I never even ended up using or referencing.
I missed the boat by 30 years, if I could do it all over again using google I'd be there in an instant.
We were traveling by plane at half the speed of smell and got passed by a kite. Then one of the two engines failed. And the guy sitting next to me went nuts and asked how far the other engine would take us. All the way to the scene of the crash, I told him. But we'll beat the paramedics by 35 minutes. -- Ron White
My first thought was that we would be seeing a headline about 25,000 ballots that mysteriously didn't print the name of the democratic candidate. Funny how the world's greatest democracy has been reduced to a Banana Republic in only 10 years.
Microsoft was "just" starting to realize that people were networking computers in 1986/87. Ahhh, those were the days. It was so blissfully quiet on the Internet back in the day. It was bliss, I tell ya, pure bliss.
Exactly, every web site in the world could incorporate their own tinyurl type lookup internally to point to any given article, rather than tyhe preponderance of rediculously long URLs, especially those used by some news organization that I won't bother naming. It would be trivially easy for every single article to get its own 6 digit identifier from a 36 character set. Start with 000000 and end with zzzzzz. That would cover something on the order of 10,314,424,798,490,535,546,171,949,056 articles. That would be enough even for fox "news" liberal bashing articles alone. I need a nap.
Go to snopes, I think you'll find that this "quote" has nothing to do with old Winnie.
On the subject of Gene Simmons, idiot of the day, it's bizarre to think that it has been 30 years since he was in his hayday (should have kept his makeup on too). When I was 17, 30 years ago, the music that was 30 years old then would have seemed positively ancient. Just post-WWII for cripes sake. This guy is an old fart who is totally out of touch with the real world.
I'm a little pissed off about being 47, but most days it's really not too bad.
You know why it's a waste of time and money? Because even if they do fnid absolute proof of intelligent life elsewhere in the universse, the lunatic fundamentalist fringe will just excuse it as either proof of god, or a message from satan or something like that and it won't change anything. Hell, if an alien stepped off a spacecraft in the middle of Times Square, they'd accuse the alien of being a liberal NY times reading commie volkswagen van driving espresso drinking tax raising anti-christ.
I too am forgetting my advanced math skills, concepts that I used to regularly dream about are slipping away. Differential equations, calculus of variations, I just don't use these things any more and I doubt that I ever will... well, never say never. This is a fun read to get the mathematical juices flowing again. It's written in the form of a novel and while not great literature is fun to read and covers a lot of ground.
I've paid over and over for your crap fucking operating system, I won't be giving you another redhat fscking cent you worthless overblown piece of shit.
I'm going to guess, that the vast majority of what you use from day to day in your computing environment was created by "older" people, so I wouldn't be so quick to diss us old farts.
How about just adding a 'F**k Christianity' and a 'F**k Judaism' and 'F**k Buddhism' and all the rest of the iron age myths that are the root of so many of our problems.
This is the traditional way to legitimize copyright. It won't work for a patent though, for that you have to register the IP, where the game is, you snooze, you lose.

Sony moves up one notch, displacing Steve Jobs Apple in second place, for now.
1) Microsoft
2) Sony Corp
3) Apple Computers
4) Google
5) Facebook
6) The Mormons
Reminds me of this joke,

Things go wrong. Hell, I have a fairly major leak in my den. And my basement leaks a bit too on rainy days. Whatever will we do.
I don't pay anything to recieve texts.

Ah, no. It looks like something I would write, and I very very seldom agree with Bill Gates.
Especially when it's a loud mouthed megalomaniac like Jack thompson.
iPods are overrated, incompatible and over priced, designed to make you use iTunes, which is even more evil.
Go buy an iAudio.
ps. fsck apple
pps. fsck jobs
ppps. did you know that jobbie in ireland means poo?
That son of a bitch machine can move like crazy on earth, imagine what it could do in space!
Fscking Apple fanboy reporter, or what?
Fsck that, they should install a vaccine that makes the machine unbootable, and more or less requires a re-install and shutdown the system.
