You are a conscious consumer, obviously, but I fail to see the point where you either criticize Apple or approve Apple in relation to the topic. The legal rights of Apple are not in question. The extend of pursuing them is.
In simple terms, does this whole story affect you in any way from buying Apple products in the future ?
I'm having a problem understanding what you mean by "holding a company's feet to the fire when they step over the line" in the context of this article which deals with 2 hackers being cut off because of jailbreaking, when you justify Apple by stating that "even then" they have "every right" to do so.
I understand the point of each sentence separated, but in the same paragraph I do not.
I'm using Linux (Slackware) but not as a generic-purpose OS as XP. The problem with Mint (and Ubuntu) is that it is much slower on older systems than XP and doesn't offer the same level of compatibility.
I am considering upgrading my systems to go to a full Mint installation, but the problem is the landfill I can't justify the landfill.
Here is a list of Microsoft stuff to remove from your XP slipstream:
Automatic Updates (for reasons related to the article) Windows media player (including 6.4) because it downloads codecs at will. Accessibility Options (unless you need them) ClipBook Viewer (useless) Games Internet Games NT Backup (use a modern backup) Paint Pinball Screensavers WordPad (use openoffice for that) ActiveX for streaming video AOL ART Image Format Support Images and Backgrounds Intel Indeo codecs Media Center Mouse Cursors Movie Maker Music Samples Old CDPlayer and Sound Recorder Client for Netware Networks Communication tools Comtrol Test Terminal Program FrontPage Extensions H323 MSP Internet Connection Wizard IP Conferencing MSN Explorer Netmeeting Network Setup Wizard NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Protocol Peer-to-Peer Share Creation Wizard Synchronization Manager Vector Graphics Rendering (VML) Windows Messenger.NET Framework Blaster/Nachi removal tool (get Avira!) Color Schemes Desktop Cleanup Wizard (just have clean desktop) Disk Cleanup (CCleaner instead) Document Templates DR Watson Extensible Storage Engine (Esent97) (Ancient) File and Settings Wizard (Useless) Help and Support (Utterly useless) IExpress Wizard Manual Install and Upgrade (Just keep good system backups) MS Agent MS XML 2.0 Out of Box Experience (OOBE) Search Assistant (the dog) Service Pack Messages Shell Media Handler Symbolic Debugger (NTSD) Tour Web View Zip Folders (rar instead) Error Reporting IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service (imgburn for these old devices) System Restore Service Hardware shell detection (this is one of the pieces that allow USB viruses to run in the first place)
Can search & replace, replace styles ? Does it still have this drawing resizing bug ? Is it possible to see paragraph, character and list/numbering styles at the same pane ? Does it support the ALT key for shortcuts ? Does it still claim to require Java to run ? Does it have table styles ? Does it still paste OLE objects as GDI metafiles by default instead of their native application type (eg. Smartdraw), which means you can no longer edit them ? Do I still have to set colors at the options instead of the built-in Windows color palette ? And when I change computer my colors lose their names ?
Or just ignore Ubuntu and install XP + Openoffice or Office 2003. I am producing documents for my work from a netbook with an external monitor and a Unicomp keyboard on Openoffice right now.
Feels like a full-fledged computer to me.
Google docs ? Why should I depend on the Internet for all my work ?
ClearType had plenty of prior art, so I don't think it counts as significant innovation.
What prior art ?
TabletPC wasn't just a "me too" project, Microsoft actually actively sabotaged their competitors to drive them out of the market and then tried to grab the market for themselves (and failed).
What are you talking about ?
So, if these are the kinds of "promising innovative technologies" that fail at Microsoft, let's just all say "good riddance".
Actually it's a reason to stop using a 14-year old browser-OS embedding approach, insecure by design, and switch to Firefox, whatever the operating system. That's the best way to keep you secure on the web.
As for the OS, use the fastest and combine it with a good antivirus and a HIPS firewall.
The groundbreaking REAL 3d game was Ultima Underworld. Amazing story, great music and paced to the action (due to midi synthesis) and total 3d immersion.
"surfaced claims of malware production and distribution"
This claim cites Wikipedia and in particular this unverifiable, POV-ridden paragraph:
"CNNIC produces one of the best-known malwares in China: the Chinese-Language-Surfing Official Edition(). The software is frequently bundled with other adware/sharewares. It was declared malware by Beijing Network Industry Association() and San Ji Wu Xian Co Ltd., the company behind 360 Safeguard(360), an anti-virus software. San Ji Wu Xian was sued by CNNIC for 150,000 RMB and the court ruled out favorably towards CNNIC."
Which libels CNNIC for connections with malware while the only case against CNNIC was actually ruled towards their favor.
Why is CNNIC untrustworthy ? In plain English please.

Fine.

I'm all for holding a company's feet to the fire
by giving them every
right to cut off access to these hackers
???
Just because you fail to understand my assertions, doesn't mean they don't exist. They exist and in fact they are much more coherent that your own.
You are wrong; according to your logic...

but what really hapens in Palestine and Iraq in relation to the United States of America is (in relation to your logic again)

I am sure you get the point. (Thanks to Hugo Ball and the Dada movement)

Frankly, we'd all better hope and pray that the US's "hay day" isn't over
Does "we" include Iraqis and Palestinians ?
Why you think you couldn't accomplish all that and play games as well ?

Can search & replace, replace styles ?
Does it still have this drawing resizing bug ?
Is it possible to see paragraph, character and list/numbering styles at the same pane ?
Does it support the ALT key for shortcuts ?
Does it still claim to require Java to run ?
Does it have table styles ?
Does it still paste OLE objects as GDI metafiles by default instead of their native application type (eg. Smartdraw), which means you can no longer edit them ?
Do I still have to set colors at the options instead of the built-in Windows color palette ? And when I change computer my colors lose their names ?
And what is "events" ?
They do but nVidia doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it. I had to enable this myself on my 8800GTS, using video memory as a measure.
no really, how do you know that ?
How can I verify that ?
Many games developers have been pursuing agile development
Who ?
I do trust Paypal. In fact all my donation to open source programmers have been made through paypal and I've had zero problems with it.
I consider paypal a solution, not a perfect one but better than none, to a badly conceived and totally insecure credit numbering system.
Or just ignore Ubuntu and install XP + Openoffice or Office 2003. I am producing documents for my work from a netbook with an external monitor and a Unicomp keyboard on Openoffice right now.

So, if these are the kinds of "promising innovative technologies" that fail at Microsoft, let's just all say "good riddance".
And finally, who is "all" ?
What do you mean ?
Did you like System Shock 2 ? I've been meaning to play it but never got the time...
Actually it's a reason to stop using a 14-year old browser-OS embedding approach, insecure by design, and switch to Firefox, whatever the operating system. That's the best way to keep you secure on the web.

Which is the fastest OS ?
The groundbreaking REAL 3d game was Ultima Underworld. Amazing story, great music and paced to the action (due to midi synthesis) and total 3d immersion.
Pay your respects to Looking Glass.

When you say "fucking magic" you mean elixirs of love and the like ?
Definitely not as long as we draw a line between an unlimited personal computer and a limited internet device (I agree on the name).
