You continue to be a douche bag who doesn't grasp the integration of Apple's solutions.
And you continue to be a douche bag that can't fathom how anyone else might possibly not think that a solution that allows users on Apple's latest and greatest device to video call other users of Apple's latest and greatest device isn't absolutely amazing and revolutionary.
Apple wants an integrated solution, alright. "You. Using Apple software. On Apple hardware. Talking to other Apple users alone."
He said that he believed the real reason to actually be a subset of what he originally said, i.e. that he was concerned that scientists peer reviewing his work might shoot it down, rather than the "they hate our freedoms" inspiring "scientists in countries that America considers to be threats".
Practice reading, then comprehension. The only one looking douche-like here is you.
No, Gizmodo claimed that the public confirmation was to help ensure they weren't painted as being participants in an Apple marketing ploy... which, in and of itself, is a fairly valid desire.
Even if you're talking about the far end of the bell curve, people doing 25+ mph over the speed limit, in all probability they are far better drivers than everyone else on the road, and the reason they get into accidents is -other- people not being properly aware of their surroundings, changing lanes without signaling, braking for no reason, etc.
Absolute BS. Speaking as someone who responds to many accidents where people who "are far better drivers than everyone else", you're full of it. The simplest, main reason? Because being a good driver includes "being prepared for the unpredictable behavior of others". If you are driving in a manner that gives you no escape room from any unpredictable behavior, then you're not a good driver. Simple as that.
In all probability, those going 25mph+ over the speed limits are the ones "changing lanes without signaling", "braking for no reason" beyond "attempting to execute a race-style passing manoeuver".
Here's the thing. Excessive speeders may always want to get ahead of you. But they'll always be behind someone else. Unless there's noone ahead of you, then that's always going to be unsafe (and even then, again, part of being a "good driver" is knowing the limits of your vehicle, the condition of it, and the road, and environment, and driving in a manner that accounts for such things).
Ego is a problem, too. People who persistently excessively speed like to think they are far better drivers than everyone else on the road. They like to think that it is some testament to the quality of their skills that they regularly navigate the freeway at 85+. It more often than not isn't. It's blind luck. It's about as accurate as the multitude of people who say "sure, I can talk on a cellphone and drive, it's other people that suck at it". Pop quiz, when was the last time you heard someone admit freely that they can't drive and talk on their cell at the same time?
Trust me, I've seen plenty of people that think they can excessively speed... and for everyone who might blame another person for having the audacity to brake (hint, if the distance between you and the guy in front of you is less than you and your vehicles response time, regardless of speed, you're going too fast, or are too close), etc, there's just as many accidents where Excessive Speeder has painted himself all over the road through no-ones fault but his own (and often taking a few bystanders with him).
Though still possibly useful and possibly ethical. For example, publishing specs of the lost iPhone 4G
No wonder you posted AC. A brave soul, indeed, claiming on Slashdot that the publishing of the iPhone 4G specs could in any way be construed as 'useful', or even 'ethical'. Be ready for your attitude readjustment from the RDF faithful...
I provide an argument for blocking something that circumvents the App Store, and your counter is "Well, there are apps in the App Store that do things better than Flash, so therefore why would anyone want to block Flash for/that/ reason?"?!?
Return to Wikipedia, study definition of non-sequitur. What on earth has the ability of a developer to write a rich application that he can distribute through the App Store got with the decision of the owner of the App Store attempting to deny a developer the ability to write a rich application in a different framework/ecosystem.
Those kinds of tickets are also far easier to contest. If you had completed, say, a defensive driving course, or such (my license is endorsed as an emergency vehicle operator', which helps in other ways, too)... because below the speed limit it's purely discretionary, and subjective, the judgment of 'too fast for conditions'.
In Australia, where I spent most of my life, the speed law/principle was "to drive at the maximum possible speed at which you a) retain full control of the vehicle, b) maintain safety, and c) do not exceed posted limit", which was the guise by which you could be done for dangerous driving doing 40 on the highway...
No he doesn't. Steve cares that Flash provides the end user a rich framework for applications or games that would be easy to circumvent the App Store with.
Well, if you didn't, that's your perfect right. But it also has an inherent cost, like the one you mentioned. What, exactly, would you expect to be a reasonable solution there? It's not like Yahoo can just set the profile to "Hey, you, if this profile is unclaimed for 30 days, we're giving it to this random guy here who promises that it is his..."
the Second Coming of Apple's Phone (I'm counting the ROKR as V1).
Shhh, the fanboys will have you murdered in your sleep for claiming that the ROKR was anything other than entirely a Motorola creation with absolutely nothing to do with Apple, no how, no way, no sir...
3) The defendant's attorney doesn't like what their client has done and is in fact helping me out.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but coupled with your other points, sounds like the defendant at the least should actually be dismissing their attorney, if not suing them for malpractice, if not talking to the police about having you both charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice (if your jurisdiction allows such for civil procedures).
I'm all for 'sticking it to the man', but the fact you're in appeals, and boasting on Slashdot that the opposing legal counsel is "helping you out"... I'm not sure is such a good thing.
Or three people streaming a high quality Internet radio station all day every day for a month. Yes, just three people listening to the radio can hit you massive unreachable cap
Ostensibly, it's "easy". It's not particularly realistic though to think that on one home broadband connection, three people have running, twenty-four / seven, a 64KB aacPlus internet stream. Cause "all day" won't hit that cap, only non-stop twenty four hours a day. (150GB/month for a 64KB stream).
she's a dispatcher for fire & police. Not 911, not customer/public service.
She would tell the police & fire dudes/dudesses where to go, answer their questions.
Actually, in most places, she's probably both. In most counties employing Criteria-Based Dispatch, dispatchers work in twos. One takes the 911 call and starts keying information, while the other is toning response units, and relaying that information to them. It's not uncommon for them to switch every so often.
Correct. I work for a police organization and there are a great many things I simply cannot do in my private life (that could become public knowledge) that I could do while being employed by a private organization. With government/police/paramilitary organizations (and especially the one I work for) perception is everything, and you can get in serious shit for even small things if the perception of the thing gets out of proportion.
Is true. As a firefighter/EMS guy, if you go to a bar with some of your buddies, and are silly enough to wear anything identifying you as Fire, let alone your district (and most districts forbid it), or say / do anything identifying you as such... are stupid enough to get into a bar fight, whatever... expect it to be a "career-limiting move". You/will/ be bent over by your Chief, and you will be spanked. Hard.
A false dichotomy. Why are those the only two options? Why does naming names have to be your extreme example of dickishness?
Because past experience on Slashdot and elsewhere shows that when names are named, there is a small but significant vocal collection of frothing at the mouth, militant types that will think nothing of leaving hundreds of VMs for the CEO, sending hundreds of faxes, thousands of emails, sign them up for a few spam lists along the way as a way of "making a point".
Regardless of how cheap the words are, I would imagine the notice would give them some protection against the "aiding & abetting" accusation.
Yeah, and all those warez/serial/crack sites, that say that their cracks are "purely for academic and research purposes, and are not to be downloaded or used in any way", despite having download links and usage text - if that's some defense, well, the law, she be an ass.
I could sit my wife's iPhone and my Nokia N97 3 ft apart on our home office desk, and she'd have 1 bar, and I'd have 7 (7 is the new 5, I guess). I'd call both phones from my desk VoIP phone, mine would ring, hers would go to voicemail. Sometimes nothing short of a phone reboot would change that.
That's not network, that's firmware and/or software.

Yawn, indeed.

Tens of thousands who paid, hmmm, let me check, nothing to download, legally, beta/pre-releases of Windows 7 would disagree with you.
Many thousands who paid, one second, let me check again, nothing to download, legally, beta/pre-releases of Office 2010 might also disagree with you.
Most who downloaded SQL Server 2008 R2 beta/pre-releases for free, legally, again, disagreeing...
Sharepoint 2010 RC... hmm, free, legal...
Visio 2010, Visual Studio 2010... free, legal... seeing any patterns here?
