It really surprises me that 10% of people still read it. I have accidentally followed news feeds to the firewall half a dozen times, I would have thought that only 1 or 2% would have gone on to pay to see the page.
This guy is a native English speaker with a good education and almost surely a security professional trying to see how far he can get.
The typos he has NOT made give it away, among other clues:
(1) "it's" is always correctly used
(2) looks like he deliberately added plurals making it look as though his English is poor
(3) John "Devid"
(4) "check it out"
(5) "don't" is correct
(6) no other spelling characteristic Eastern European mistakes
Small correction, we dried it out with pumps, powered by windmills
I I were an absolute pedant 'd point out that windmills grind corn, so the pumps were powered by wind turbines. In Norfolk they actually called them "wind pumps"
Perhaps while they're at it they could pay for online fraud, substandard goods sold on the internet and child protection. Lets extend that so that transport companies, taxis, car sales have to pay a surcharge to cover people who are travelling to commit a crime.
For example, when dealing with liberals, there was no backfire effect....
Well that's because liberals are intelligent and thinking, and conservatives just hold onto ideas without reason. And if you try to tell me otherwise that will just prove my point by showing that you are an unintelligent conservative.;-)
People crash cars all the time. They often do it for stupid reasons, like confusing the gas peddle and brake. In the past, most would admit to themselves that this is what happened. But in today's "nothings my fault" era, you sue. And the press is just waiting to hear from you.

Yes, I wish I had heard of "sudden acceleration" when I knocked my dad's gate post down with his car shortly after passing my driving test.
It amazes me how many people have not read the summary, and realised that Toyota are not saying this, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are. If you read TFA you will see that Toyota are actually rather cautious over this evidence:
Toyota says its own downloads of data recorders have found evidence of sticky pedals and pedal entrapment as well as driver error, which is characterized by no evidence of the brakes being depressed during impact.
....
Still, since the start of Toyota's troubles late last summer, the Japanese company hasn't blamed drivers for any of the sudden-acceleration incidents, though in many cases the company couldn't find another cause. Toyota President Akio Toyoda has said the company won't pin the blame on customers for its problems as part of its public-relations response.
...."Toyota has always taken the position that the electronic data recorder system is not reliable," said Tab Turner, the Little Rock, Ark., lawyer.
....A Toyota spokesman said the company considers the device "a prototype tool. It wasn't designed to tell us exactly what happened in an accident. It was designed to tell us whether our systems were operating properly."
... that the throttle and brake position logging was recording correct data. If there's a fault in the ECU or software, how can you guarantee the data logging is correct?
Toyota agrees with you: From TFA:

That's nice. However, there are other sections besides section 1. They aren't there just to help with the feng shui of the site.
Naturally, and I'd be happy to cover any of the other sections.
Section 3 provides that one can freely distribute modifications and derivative works. We weren't talking about a modified or derivative work, we were talking about redistributing the original.
Yeh, when Jobs said his control over every Apple-user's computing was about "freedom from porn", we could have guessed that "porn" was just being dragged up as a convenient excuse.
I don't know, when you see how excited some slashotters get about anti-Apple or anti-Microsoft news it looks like they are about to cream themselves.

Not to mention that its easier to wipe the spunk off.
It really surprises me that 10% of people still read it. I have accidentally followed news feeds to the firewall half a dozen times, I would have thought that only 1 or 2% would have gone on to pay to see the page.
I always make sure to read articles / magazines that make me angry.
That's why I come to slashdot. I start with the "-2 troll" posts and work up.
Yeah but what do they use the data for? It's nice that they admit they collect this info, but for what purpose.
Could be useful to marketing. Look for a place where iphone users congregate and you have the ideal location for an upmarket gay bar.

Anal what?
november, 2011? Wasn't it supposed to be on 2012?
Its like Christmas in a shopping mall, you were expecting it to turn up in December but it arrives two months ahead of time.
Denalism is by no means limited to Holocaust denial.
I completely deny that.,,, Oh wait...
Its nice to see that they have used a devanagari character (0930 ) as the basis for this.

Uhm - any solution that relies on you not browsing to an infected site is not a solution.
Another thing for the Catholics & Prods to argue over. Who gets the green wires...
That's not the problem. The problem come when they try to lay an orange wire in a catholic street or a green one in a protestant one.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If I were an absolute pedant I'd point out that windmills used to grind corn. Nowadays they just stand around and creak and smell of old wood.
Since this has now become a pedantry competition I feel obliged to point out that not all of them do.

I mean they were inundated with callers who said that they had changed their minds because of facts. But still believed that people didn't
Whoopy fucking do. Booting foreign operating systems is out, 3D is in. Totally repositioned as a toy.

Requirement #1 is "Free Redistribution", i.e. that you have the freedom to, without limitation, redistribute the software.
Would you like ketchup with that ?
Only in an aggregate work. Not as an individual work... which I believe the original objection was about.
OK so I package it with a picture of your mum sucking my dick

So I change a few labels then redistribute .......

It will be an "advantage" over Android, that the forums are not cluttered with unnecessary information.
