    Seriously, give me a car analogy already.

  4. Re:Is is legal to remove functions after purchase? on Xbox 360 Update Will Lock Out Unauthorized Storage · · Score: 1

    You don't have to upgrade. I think when you turn-on the auto update feature, there is probably some small print in there somewhere saying that features might be modified. After all, if you are happy to accept updates, surely that means you are happy to accept that modifications will be made to your product? Or... why would you accept updates?

    Paul may (or may not) have a legal argument for using Apple's vendor ID from the perspective of interoperability

    First Palm, then Paul.

    Soon, every Tom, Dick and Harry will be getting in on the act.

    It's completely unnecessary

    It sure does generate a lot of publicity though...

  9. Re:Thats about it for me on UK Court Order Served Over Twitter, To Anonymous User Posing As Another · · Score: 1

    Don't delete them. Instead, open hundreds or even thousands of accounts in your own name, all with bogus and different info. Write a little script to randomly trawl other people's accounts for messages/photos/etc and copy them at random to your own hundreds of accounts, as if they were real postings. Noone would know the difference. Then if your employer/the police/whoever tried to dig up any dirt on you, it would be buried among such a volume of spam that finding it would be a Herculean task.

    Or just set your facebook profile to 'private'

  10. Re:intel buid a hackintosh? on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I doubt Intel broke an EULA, for what they are worth anyway.

    If all this is true, and Apple did ask Intel to develop this initiative, then I'm pretty sure Apple would have been happy to license that version of OS X for development purposes.

    In any event, couldn't that motherboard been ripped out of an apple computer?

  11. Re:Glass fibre on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 1

    "You can tie a knot in it and it'll still work.""

    That should make it easier to market to Scouts.

    A different font will be used for the second revision, the Courier New.

    I hope they reveal more details soon.

    I hope they reveal a product at all.

    At present what we have is a collection of renders and a conceptual video.

    And for $10 it will enable the camera.

  17. Re:It only took Americans 10 years... on Has Texting Replaced Talking For Teens? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Seeing this on slashdot surprised me too.
    Shouldn't it read 'Has Facebook replaced talking for teens?'
    Texting was the 'in thing' when I was a teenager... and that was about 10 years ago.

  19. Re:"pages render faster" on Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 1

    It might not be a business, but they still have finite resources, and need to spend them wisely.

    In their case, the ROI isn't how much money they would get back from investing in supporting Win95, but whether or not such an investment would help with Mozilla's mission.

    With that in mind "what's the ROI for continuing to support an older OS?" probably is a question they need to consider carefully.

    But then I know little to nothing about Windows APIs, so I probably don't know what I'm talking about. Perhaps keeping Firefox alive for Win95 is actually quite an easy thing to do, and they chose not do because they can't be arsed.

    So the harder you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete the quicker it will restart?

  21. Re:What is apple's rationale behind this behavior? on Apple Balks, Finally Relents, At Possible User Queries of Dictionary App · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised they haven't banned Brushes because you can draw naked ladies with it.

    I didn't know you could do that with it!

    I just love these little easter eggs devs slip past apple's review staff.

  22. Re:What is the solution ? on Apple Balks, Finally Relents, At Possible User Queries of Dictionary App · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't understand what you mean.

    I looked up the word 'fuck' but I can't find it in my iDictionary.

  23. Re:Sure, that'll work. on Apple To Sell Wi-Fi-less iPhone In China · · Score: 1

    Piracy is rampant in China not because they can't get a grip on the problem.

    It's just they're not interested in stopping it, since it only tends to hurt the companies that aren't state owned. (I can't think of any Chinese movie studios off the top of my head, I believe most of them are American)

    But disabling wifi on a phone is something they can do very easily. They just don't allow the phone manufacturer to sell the phone with a wifi chip.
