No. Libertarians believe that the proper role of government is to prevent the abuse of power. Libertarianism is absolutely dependent on the rule of law to prevent theft and extortion. The problem with liberals is that they don't see that the same law must be applied to the government itself to prevent the government from taking property by force.
The numbers being talked about are only for desktop browsers. If you include mobile browsers then Safari would be at least 3 and might even be higher than that with about 60% of all mobile.
Caught with their pant down? The first thing that pops up when you turn on the iPhone for the first time is a box explaining this and asking if you want to allow it. Thats not exactly hiding it. As someone posted above there is also a very lengthy explanation and the actual log files available on the control panel that allows you to turn it off. Some conspiracy.
No, the carrier cannot turn it on remotely. Theoretically Apple could turn it on with an OS update but then they would get excoriated in this forum and others. The data they are collecting is harmless and they allow you to turn it off completely. They also let you see the data.
What I see on my phone is: 1. Reports on connection strength and radio parameters 2. Reports on low memory conditions and whats running when they happen 3. Application crash reports. These may be sent to the app developer so the app can be fixed.
Note that if you click the link at the bottom of the Diagnostics control screen they provide a very long detailed description of what they collect and what they do with it. This page repeatedly states that no personally identifiable information ever leaves the phone.
I'd appreciate some examples of where laissez-faire capitalism has been proven wrong...
I don't believe she ever said that public corporations would respect the rights of anyone. She viewed them as just another form of collectivism and she believed that ALL forms of collectivism could be perverted and destructive. The core of her philosophy was individualism, self determination, and the objective assessment of the actual result of actions instead of the intent of the actor.
Have you actually been to Germany?? There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of regional beers. There are monasteries that have unique brews. There are many brands that are found only in a single city! There are more styles of beer than you can possibly name.
There are definitely some great beers in the US and there is a lot more choice than there used to be. I'd still say that if you walked into a bar and ordered a beer at random that the odds of getting something really enjoyable are much higher in Germany than in the US.
That being said, my favorite beer is from Denmark.
What the OP was trying to say is that Objective C/Cocoa is completely designed to be incredibly good for building UIs. It has a very powerful and consistent model for how the pieces tie together and it is completely dynamic. C++ and Java have a number of UI Frameworks...non of which are particular great and they are certainly not consistent or full dynamic. Neither of those two languages was designed specifically for event-driven, dynamically bound, user interfaces.
On the contrary, there are many places you can move to if you want intrusive government and a degree of socialism. This country was founded on the idea of minimal government and individual liberty. I will stay and fight because once liberty dies here it's gone for good. If you want a nanny state then renounce your citizenship and leave the country.
It's that there are two antennas. It's how those antennas are used. Not sure how they are doing it yet but they are claiming 14.4Mbps which is twice the speed of the iPhone4.
"The problem with caching is random access drive speed etc has not been increasing as fast as bandwidth used. So where a slightly tuned up desktop made a decent tolerable usable cache around 2000, around 2010 to make the cache better than directly access, you need monsterous gear and complicated setups. Rapidly it becomes cheaper to buy more bandwidth."
Modern caching systems primarily return data from memory, not from disk. Even if you were to pull the data from disk, the disk is normally an order of magnitude faster than the internet connection.
What you pay for is access to the PKI system that is used to sign all code that runs on iOS devices. The $99 and your membership are what Apple uses to validate that your a legitimate developer. This is all part of the security model of the platform. You do want a secure platform don't you.....?
Your missing the point. The only way to to qualify that a person "Knows how to do it" and to only allow signed code is to require that you be a developer and have access to certs for signing the code. It's not acceptable under any conditions to have unsigned code on a device.
Who are these "fairly competent users" and how are they distinguished? I think Apple thought about this and decided that there was no manageable way to deal with such a concept. As a result they have just two groups, ordinary users and developers.
Apple does not recognize an "advanced technical users" category of iOS users. They have regular users and iOS developers. Become a developer and you can do anything you like.
You do not need to jailbreak to run any software you want. Apple divides their iOS users into two and only two groups. the first group is ordinary users who can only run software from the app store or from enterprise distribution points. The second group is iOS developers who can run anything the damn well please on their devices.
Becoming an iOS developer is easy. Pay your $99 and sign up. I can see where you might bitch about the cost but it is not true to say that Apple prevents you from running anything you like on your phone.
There are some pretty significant changes coming in 10.7. Theres full screen mode, changes to how scrolling and scroll bars work, and much more use of gestures and multi-touch. The change to scrolling alone will take some serious getting used to.
Apple gives you an option. If your truly a "technical" type then pony up $99 and join the iOS developer program. Then you can do anything you like on your iPad. If you really want the power...then pay for it.
It exists now and it's called Facetime. Now we just need apple to support Linux and Windows or open up the protocol. It is possible that this could happen.
Righteous anger has it's place but do you actually have any answers? Any suggestions on how to make it better? Unfortunately, as ugly as it is, we currently have the best system of government the world has ever seen. The People have more power and say today in the US than in any country at any time in history.
I work as a consultant to many Fortune 100 companies and I'm seeing this happen at most of them. Acceptance of OS X and a serious interest in bring-your-own computer schemes is happening in all of them.
Hmmm....getting "Bombarded" by requests from your customers but not responding to their requests? Doesn't sound like your really interested in succeeding.

They are deductible in the exact same way the mechanics tools are deductible.

Get the federal government out my life and my wallet.

Actually, I've read all her writings. Perhaps you can point me to the racism that your suggesting provides her work.

They handle it by requiring a special permission to create hard links to directories. Time Machine has that permission, other processes do not.
