well, it could still win by default. linux is on the increase, be it at a small rate. windows is on a decline, so presumably at some point there will be more linux machines than windows.
this is true - what's wrong with kids today are their parents.
that said, the court cannot be concerned about that - a judge can editorialize, but when it comes down to it, they have to rule for the "average person", who still is not really up with internet security. we all do it - we guard our unsecure 4-digit PINs on our bank/debit/credit cards, but use our pet's name as a password for our net banking. it's funny, but that's how we are at the moment.
i don't touch my wife's iPad because that's the kind of hater I am, but i've never been aware of any kind of protection on it. that's slightly concerning. she doesn't "app" much, so I don't anticipate it being a huge problem. but there's a naivety out there that both the court and sadly Apple recognize.
"May First / People Link and Riseup.net" "As a result of the seizure, hundreds of unrelated people and organizations have been disrupted."
harassment... intentional collateral damage... who knows?
it still amuses me that they up and take the server and walk out with it. why not put that police tape around the server room, and let the FBI techie do his/her thing in a new place?
of course, yanking the connections will have the same effect, but it would be much easier for the techie to just say "hey, this thing doesn't keep logs" and let the collateral damage get on with their business.
you conclude with an argument identical to the one i just asked for backup facts on!
learn to logic...
plus, i take it you are childless. that's fine, all the more time (and money) to mess with trinkets and gadgets. yes, i am being patronizing. my point here, is once you have a baby, just try keeping your phone away from them. i dare you. see if you can achieve anything at all without taking your eyes off them, because as soon as you do, they'll be playing with your stuff. why is that? because they see you playing with it and immediately think it must be worth playing with. my 10 month old had 2 phones on him this evening. one in his mouth and one in his hand, being hit against the floor. it's a good thing they're made somewhat water resistant...
and an additional thing. the iTunes music store puts up trailers for movies in all classifications that it allows, but requires that the trailers meet their arbitrary "G" rating guidelines. things like no blood, no dead bodies, etc.
so they're effectively advertising up to R rated (i'm talking Australian R 18+) content to their entire audience (the "G" crowd certainly includes children). i'm not sure what the story is with that. limiting liability or pushing adult content on children? it can be seen both ways. considering you need an account to buy things, it seems odd that they couldn't just show age appropriate trailers.
also, (and i will be modded down for this, though it's a valid point) one thing i really don't understand, is why on a board like/. where people are constantly up in arms about big corporations pissing on everyone, do so many people tirelessly defend one of the world's biggest corporations? a company has no morals, just like a car has no legs - it doesn't need them. it's not a value judgement, just a statement of fact. when there's a profit motive, why would a company act in such a way as to not maximize it to the full extent of the law?
if they had a free model of the app store, they would not be responsible.
by censoring and signing off on _every_ app on that store, they are effectively taking responsibility for it. especially with in-app purchasing, which they watch very closely to make sure they get their cut everywhere they can.
you speak as though all that water were running through a closed loop.
water that goes into power generation comes out the cooling towers again. it re-enters the atmosphere and falls as rain somewhere else.
ditto agriculture, minus what gets into the plants and is then eaten by you, pissed out, treated, evaporated and falls again as rain.
now the problem is that where the rain falls can't be regulated. it's in your own best interests to make sure that water is used for things like staying alive, and less for things like an extra-long wank in the shower.

oh yeah. i'd had a few to drink at that point.
this needs more mod.
bioremediation is a very exciting field.
dairy cows are sold as mcdonalds beef. they are all female (taste better), and their meat is comparatively more tender.
not that ridiculous. botox originally had a therapeutic use. someone just told a plastic surgeon and it all went downhill.
happened to my wife. she was 4 months premature.
has mild CP, but apart from that is fine - runs a business, has a child, married a slashtard, etc.
yeah, stop having fun, guys! i don't like something you all enjoy!

the 4chan oldfags all came here, don't you know?
and acts as a solar sail...
The system itself is a disaster and totally unsafe.
Go on, sue me.
nice to see someone who takes pride in their work :)
what you smokin in that Piper?
judging by your sig, wouldn't you prefer it be 1990? but then there'd be no slashdot to post on.
we've always been at war with Eastasia.
No governments will let their populations have a free and open internet without a fight.
FTFY
then it would suddenly read 0 degrees?

i have trouble understanding politicians too.
they'll give her an "enhanced pat-down" to search under her folds and rolls.
it's a perfectly cromulent word!
nice one. care to back that up with some facts for us? i love hyperbole, but you can't live on hyperbole alone.

get them hot enough, and you could burn them in fission reactors :)
