  1. Re:Go for it on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 0

    Hey Cowboy, Maybe the neutrons have affected your brain, because last I checked, the administration running the TSA is anything but "right wing." The TSA did not get its crotch-grabbing and child-molesting authority until quite recently, all thanks to your beloved Obama and Big Sister Janet Napolitano. And it's all left-wingers trying to ban salt, sodas, foie gras, and toys in Happy Meals. So yes, we do have the left wing to thank for the Nanny State.

    I have no cell phone... should I be forced to pay high monthly fees just to get an ID I don't want?

    Yes.

    To me, it's a computer if I can write software for it.

    Requiring that software be written on a device would rule out a lot of machines that most people in the industry would consider computers.

    For most people:

    Good information == information that supports their views

    &&

    Good voting == voting with an outcome they favor

    That's why the "fairness doctrine" is so Orwellian. By definition, it requires some person or entity to decide what is a fair mix of opinion and what is good information.

    "Experts" usually love that sort of arrangement, usually because they envision themselves to be the arbiter.

    Would you favor it, though, if someone you disagreed with politically had the power to make such determinations?

    Sure, you could say that it was more interesting when newspapers were blatantly communist or uber capitalist, or blazingly socialist, but to say the least, it's NOT cool to go around lying to the public and whipping up a panic for your own personal gain.

    Which is exactly what today's MSM does!

    Yeah, buying and selling is so evil. I would love to see how you get a computer and Internet access without engaging in that evil buying and selling. Oh, you're probably a Slashdot Socialist who wants to force other people to work for you so you can have your precious PC and cable modem...without buying or selling, of course.

    You lost all your credibility with your sig. Actually, you lost it before that, but the sig clinched the deal.

    Doesn't sound like this person is the market for this phone, anyway. Or is your hypothetical poor person going to go out and buy the latest-and-greatest cell phone with built-in TV?

    Who the fuck told these idiots to pick a big, ugly (and probably smelly) FOOT as their logo?

    Believe it or not, there are many people who don't like looking at feet, and the last thing we'd want is to be staring at a stupid-looking foot all day on our computers.

    They might as well adopt the GOATSEcX picture as their logo...

    What decade was this article written in? Who the hell 'hard codes' a user id and password into web based applications?

    It was written in 1972, back when all web-based applications were written in machine code. Don't you know anything about computer history?

    Yes, I do: the 1.0.1 installation media that was released to manufacturing before the Intel computers ship in January. You can already find them on at least one torrent site, although out of respect to SlashDot I will not post it here. Aperture will run on Intel Macs in January, but you can run it now.

  16. Re:I enjoy the app on Apple's Aperture Reviewed · · Score: 1
    If that is a Windows error message, you have a PC and are trying to mount a Mac virtual disk on it. Won't work. You'll need the hacked Intel version of Mac OS X 10.4.3. Aperture ships as a fat binary, meaning it contains code to run on Intel and PowerPC versions of Mac OS X. If you install Intel Mac OS X, you shouldn't have any problems running Aperture.

    However, I recommend you consider checking out the first Apple-supplied Intel box capable of running Mac OS X, which should ship in January. Once you go Mac, you never go bac.
