What would REALLY be a laugh would be if Apple deletes this app from the App Store. If they do that the way they normally do, it will be without explanation and without appeal. I'd like to see how it turns out if they try that against someone with clout like a bank.
I'd be interested to watch the progress. The Bank of America app flew right through apparently. Now only if theirs was more useful, I'd use it.
The WSJ has not suffered any decrease in quality - it's political bent is well known but the Rotten Bastard actually kept one of his promises and continued to support its journalistic integrity. I was worried as everyone else when he bought it, but then I was surprised to learn that the WSJ actually increased its quality. I don't read the WSJ for its opinions, I read it because I want good, factual business news that cuts through all the BS and tells it as it is. And that costs money.
but I'm glad that someone is challenging them in this way. If you're going to have a device that is touted as one of the most powerful and useful, don't stifle the development community by rejecting the better applications they send your way.
And in the meantime, iFart Mobile rakes in thousands per day.:/
Pretty much unless you live in the American Southwest or the Sahara (or a similar extremely dry enviroment), there is significant risk.
My most significant Mac problems while living in Tucson were cpu temps climbing far too high, and the steady collection of airborne particulates and/or 'dirt' collecting inside the Macbook. Popping out the battery would reveal a lining of dirt/dust/stuff around the battery bay (or whatever they call it). And I mean, I could do this every week. Easily.
When the economy gets so bad that we have to choose between spending to arrest and incarcerate rapists and murderers vs some guy lighting up a doobie at a concert, things might change.
We won't live to see the day. Somehow, these new toys will make their way into the officer arsenal, at the taxpayer expense. And almost no objections will be made about it.
I really hope that the RIAA is not long for this world. Oh, and if they start getting bailout money I am leaving the country, mark my words. They have undermined their own business and they deserve to fail.
and do you suppose the use of the phrase 'one more thing,' a phrase that Apple CEO Steve Jobs often uses to introduce a new product at the end of his keynotes, was intentional or am I just reading too much into this?"
TPB has been owned by a company for the last years since the raid so nothing there will really change except the names of the owners. The talk about TPB are going to be a pay site is wrong, the CEO that said that does not know what he is talking about.
Now, the BIG change is that the tracker is going to be outsourced to a new formed company that wont know what they track, just that they connect peers, and the torrent listings will be handed by an other new company that will have torrents but they will not know either content or who is using the torrents. This setup will be practically impossible to take down or find anyone liable to sue.
The 3d party company services will have APIs, so you can on your blog or whatever have your own small torrent listings just as you now pull in twitter feeds. remember how the twitter design totally havoced the iranian attempts to block it as ppl just used another side that pulled in the feeds and read it there instead? well that goes for torrents and TPB to.
All in all, this is not the end of the world as some are seeing it but a rather interesting technical improvement.
And dont worry, not a dime will go to the media industries spectrial prize money what i know of but a really nice fund for doing cool stuff./krs - co.founder of TPB and PB, not involved in TPB anymore and have no stake in any cash.
This is a serious question:
If it's not worth wasting your money on to buy, then why on earth did you waste your time downloading and watching it? Either a product is worth the asking price or it's not. If it is worth it to you, buy it. If not, do without...
Until you watch it, how can you know if it was worth the asking price? (irregardless of how you obtained it)

I took a leak outside the bar one night when I was drunk and now I'm banned from Facebook for life.
What's wrong with this picture?
That's not the worst bit. You would be banned from Twitter too. At that point, there is little left to live for.
The comments on that page are amusing.
Check out the Amiga conspiracy nut going off on one. Excellent!
Indeed. Vaxboy is by far the most interesting contributor to those comments.
Does it run Linux?
No, but they ship with Duke Nukem Forever.

How much were you paid to post this?
There is actually a website available here that monitors the situation and gives real-time updates on the status of the LHC.
Drats. You beat me to it.
and we'll all be calling it C++10.
I, for one, will be calling it C++0x0A.

Let's try pocket protector manufacturers that went broke.
We cannot allow such a travesty to occur. They are too big to fail.
20 pages for 20 smallish pictures? Really? The site must be desperate for ad revenue.
AdBlock Plus claims it is actively blocking four scripts when I land on the first page, all of them from static.fmpub.net

Because pythons are long and big and will not fit the title.
You should get the extra mod point on top of the current 4, just for the fact that your /. name has the word 'snake' in it.
Just visiting here from 4chan? How's summer break?
With a < 7 digit user id number, I'll tend to conclude otherwise.

Before or after multiple convictions?
After a few hundred thousand or so.
Real programmers use ed.
Fixed that for you.
I doubt the warnings on cigarettes really make people think twice about smoking.
As a programmer, I only pay attention to errors, not warnings.

The RIAA is too big to fail.
So, never.

This promises to be a fun discussion, about what is good and what is best and what sucks.
It was fun the first 0x2a times we had the discussion. :p
Intentional.
Here in Wilson, North Carolina, we get municipally provided 100 symmetric / FTTP
Needless to say, the telecoms are viciously pissed and are doing everything they can to stop it.
One problem with bittorrent is that it has a centralized tracker. You see what is happening to The Pirate Bay.
This may be of interest.

Post your damn initials in your signature spot. God almighty it's so pretentious when people put their initials in their posts.

Is that any way to talk to RMS? Oh wait, sorry. It just says RS.
