I didn't say the plane was targeted. Really, I am speculating that - in terms of sheer calculable probability - that it is nearly as likely to be an EMP of some sort, as it is to be a random mineral descent, of extra-terrestrial origin. Wacky me.
iPod Firmware gets updated by iTunes. This happens already. iTunes checks updated firmware, if old handshake, iTunes then return to the top of this loop.:-)
All Apple has to do is ROT-13 their handshakes. Then, if Palm does the same? It's now a DMCA violation.
On a less frivolous note, perhaps this is the case that will cause the DMCA to crumble, as a possible court battle that pitches anti-competitive practice against technological copyright enforcement.
In an obscenity first, a U.S. comic book collector has pleaded guilty to importing and possessing Japanese manga books depicting illustrations of child sex abuse and bestiality.
Christopher Handley, described by his lawyer as a "prolific collector" of manga, pleaded guilty last week to mailing obscene matter, and to "possession of obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children." Three other counts were dropped in a plea deal with prosecutors.
The 39-year-old office worker was charged under the 2003 Protect Act, which outlaws cartoons, drawings, sculptures or paintings depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, and which lack "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." Handley's guilty plea makes him the first to be convicted under that law for possessing cartoon art, without any evidence that he also collected or viewed genuine child pornography. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
I will give you a specific example, from among thousands.
Open/Star Office handles - easily - RTL languages and the alternative typefaces and ligatures used with them. It has a fantastic facility for mixed, RTL/LTR documents. The toolbar icons even dynamically swap orientation for indenting, justifying, etc., when switching text direction.
As someone who has struggled with the crap support for this in MS Word on Windows NT through 7, and the NONEXISTANT RTL capability of Word on OS X, I am very happy that OOo can do this handily, with consistant functionality - regardless of OS.
OOo has been a superior tool for at least 3 years. MS has given up polishing the core turd, and is adding business/technology value in collaborative computing and advanced document management, rather than refining core text handling capability. They know where the Enterprise dollar will come from.
So, whinge about bloat as you will, with your Terabyte-sized SATA drive!
Don't understand Hindi? Oh, they just pretend not to. Snobs! I know perfectly well that the mother speaks Urdu at home. Feigned non-comprehension of Hindi is pure social posing and low-order chauvinism!

Fair?
Finding the REAL causes - through speculation and investigation - are the route to improvements that prevent this sort of thing from again happening.
I can think of no more fitting tribute to the departed ones, and their families.
Just as likely.

Why all the secrecy? "They wanted to speak rich to rich without worrying anything they said would end up in the newspapers, painting them as an alternative world government,"
