That logout option should've been there from day 1 of *writing* the damn application. Common sense says: if you have a log-in, give the user the option to log out. Apparently some team at Apple lacks (or lacked) common sense.
The logout option *is* there. I guess you were too busy foaming at the mouth to actually do any research, much like the people behind the original FUD.
I'm not sure why this is considered "news" for nerds. This happened two months ago in Illinois when AT&T was given a statewide TV franchise in order to compete with Comcast, RCN, and others. Does this mean we're going to see 48 more of these stories on Slashdot as the concept spreads across the rest of the country? Talk about a waste of bandwidth.
If I open Bill's Diner and register the trademark, no one else can open a Bill's Diner anywhere in the US that there isn't already a Bill's Diner.
A further ovresimplification. Most trademarks are not national in scope, they are state-by-state. Most companies register their trademarks with the Secretary of State in the states in which they do business, not at the federal level. It's usually about 20x cheaper (some states charge as little as $10 for five years).
If every company's trademarks were registered nationally, we'd be pretty close to being out of company names the way we're just about out of worthwhile domain names. How many "Grace's Cleaners" do you suppose there are across the nation?
Your argument does not refute his contention. It only demonstrates that you are not well-read and have exposure to a very small circle of friends.
The fact remains that there is very high-quality journalism being done all the time in America that is also very profitable. Just because you don't bother to look beyond your nose or the people you "hear bragging" doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I have made no assertions. I have nothing to back up. I'm still waiting for you to back up your claim.
Do you "refuse" to back them up because you can't because they're untrue?
As you know, a webcomic needs to be notable for inclusion in Wikipedia
What could be more notable than the FIRST electronically distributed comic? Circa 1983. Modem-to-modem before the commerical internet. But there's no article for it on Wikipedia. That's because it's been erased because someone somwehere doesn't consider it "noteworthy" and because there were no "citations" it was erased. Where TF are you supposed to get citations for a web comic from 1983? I have some old issues of Run magazine that mention it, but that's not good enough to the WikiNazis.
Over-zealous admins are the reason why a lot of people who know a lot of things don't share their knowledge on Wikipedia.
So much for being the "sum of all human knowledge."
And if the pipe is before your destination, then you're going to be sharing bandwidth, FIOS, Cable or DSL.
OK why are folks just plain stupid.
FIOS connections are shared between a max of 32 home or nodes.
So... in Magical Verizon Fairyland sharing a connection with 32 people is the same as not sharing at all? Did the big red V give you a pony to post that astroturf?
I see nothing in there from Google stating that they "refuse" to fix the problem. It's nice that you posted a bunch of blog links to other problems, but none of them back up your original flame.
Seeing as Google has been warn of poisoning before and refuses action
How do you know Google "refuses" to do anything about it? Because you don't see something doesn't mean work isn't being done behind the scenes. Do you work at Google and know first-hand that it intentionally isn't working on the problem? If not, then STFU and go peddle your Microsoft apologies elsewhere.
I'm still waiting for the 30,000 to 40,000 American troops killed in the first two months of the Iraq War that Hillary and friends promised me on the Sunday morning talk shows. If we're ever going to meet the Democrats' goals, we're going to have to try to bring the violence level in Baghdad up closer to Detroit.
All humor aside, kinda makes one wonder how long draconian enforcement measures would last in Canada if (a) this sort of garbage became law, and (b) average Canadians started getting hurt by the consequences of something as simple as making a personal backup of something covered under the legislation. My bet is: not nearly as long as we in America have tolerated incidents of similar severity, but I could be very sadly mistaken. For now there's always the optimistic view, right? Time will tell, I suppose.
Or maybe not. Don't Canadians already pay a hefty tax on hard drives on the off chance that someone somewhere might someday store a pirated music file on one? As long as the industry makes it seamless, people will happily keep forking over their cash and their rights.
in a country like the one I live in, where the citizens are told that they have free speech, but where you can be jailed for years for speaking certain truths to your lawyer, spouse, or doctor, and where thugs can come to your home or workplace and intimidate you if you publicly question your rulers, anonymous speech is necessary.
That's why so many people are moving out of California.
SMB in Leopard was a disaster for me and sent me running back to Tiger, where stuff just, you know, worked.
I find that interesting. I've had exactly the opposite experience. I had occasional SMB problems in Tiger, but in Leopard networking is a comparative dream. I did the erase-and-install route, though. Maybe that had something to do with it.

No. You've just replaced one problem with another, more expensive, problem.

Sorry, AC. I am the holder of about a dozen trademarks registered in Texas and Illinois. It is YOU who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Here's a link to the Secretary of State's application form for registering a trademark in Illinois to get your started in recovering from your snarky dumb-assedness: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/c2466.pdf
Yes, you can register trademarks state-by-state. You're the one who needs to do some research.
If every company's trademarks were registered nationally, we'd be pretty close to being out of company names the way we're just about out of worthwhile domain names. How many "Grace's Cleaners" do you suppose there are across the nation?

I just installed it on my Mac. Feels snappier! And my dog isn't scratching his nads anymore! Thanks, Mozilla.
Just because it exists doesn't mean it isn't being worked on. I'm still waiting for your proof that Google "refuses" to do anything about it.
And as for flames, you're the one throwing around baseless accusations. Get some proof, or get off.
